What are weight loss peptides?

Weight loss peptides are short-chain amino acids that stimulate improved bodily function.

At Pepthrive , the team prescribes peptide therapy as the foundation of their weight loss program. Peptide therapy essentially restores amino acids your body needs to work more efficiently.

How do peptides cause weight loss?

Peptide therapy stimulates your body to produce substances that play a significant role in weight loss, including human growth hormone (HGH), testosterone, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). These substances:

• Encourage fat burning
• Regulate your metabolism
• Encourage retention of lean muscle mass
• Reduce the inflammation that can cause weight gain
• Reduce hunger pangs
• Improve insulin sensitivity
• Increase feelings of satiety (fullness)

Peptides help your body function in the most optimal way, which can make your weight loss journey much easier than it would otherwise be.

They also treat metabolic disorders like Type 2 diabetes by regulating blood sugar and lowering your risk of metabolic diseases in general. Additionally, peptide therapy promotes improved cardiovascular and general health.

How do you take weight loss peptides?

You might have heard of some of the well-known weight loss peptides like semaglutide (marketed under the brand names Ozempic® and Wegovy®) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro®). While they can be effective, those prescription peptides aren’t tailored to your needs. 

Instead of using a cookie-cutter approach that doesn’t fit everyone perfectly, the Pepthrive team designs a personal peptide therapy plan based on advanced body scans and detailed bloodwork. They use a compounding pharmacy to create your customized formulas.

You typically administer the injections yourself, just under the skin in your thigh, upper arm, or abdomen. It’s usually best to rotate your injection site every week to avoid irritation in any one area.

Dosing depends on the specific weight loss peptide prescribed. You’ll generally start with a low dose for the first month. After that, the team could increase your monthly dosage based on your body’s response and your weight loss goals. They’re always available to guide you and help you achieve success.

When combined with a customized diet plan and regular exercise, peptide therapy is highly effective for patients looking to lose significant weight as quickly as possible.
