What Are Peptides?

Overall health and wellness are something many people want to achieve but don’t always know where to start. As we age, production of essential amino acids and peptides in our bodies decreases. As a result, our bodies begin to show signs of aging and cease to perform at an optimal level. At Young Again Aesthetics, we’ve got your answers, which may include peptide therapy. This next-level treatment offers remarkable improvements to a variety of health concerns.

We’ve all heard of hormone replacement therapy and balance, which helps restore our body’s natural functions through regulating hormone levels. Peptides work much the same. These molecules are made from amino acids that are linked together. They can be thought of as a small protein. Peptides have many functions in the body including signaling and messaging. Some may act like neurotransmitters, while others may act like hormones. They bind to receptors on the cell surface and tell other cells and molecules what to do. Peptides are very specific which makes them safe, well tolerated and more importantly allow them to control and influence how our bodies react to physical exercise and diet. It works by binding receptors on the cells’ surfaces for highly specific actions, improving our overall health and wellness, or even enhancing certain body functions. Because peptides are natural to our bodies, they’re very well-tolerated and incredibly safe.
