Peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. They are smaller than proteins but can have similar functions.
What are peptides?
Peptides play important roles in the body, such as acting as hormones, enzymes, or neurotransmitters. They are involved in regulating various biological processes like metabolism, immune response, and cell signaling. Put simply, peptides can enhance cellular repair, stimulate muscle growth, accelerate fat loss, boost immune function and slow aging.
How Peptides work
Peptides work by interacting with specific receptors on cells or tissues. When a peptide binds to its receptor, it triggers a biological response, such as regulating metabolism, immune function, or cell growth. These interactions can influence various processes like hormone release, gene expression, or enzyme activity, helping maintain balance and proper function in the body.

Benefits
Accelerated Healing
Specific peptides may promote the healing of injuries, including muscle, tendon, ligament, and bone damage, by stimulating the regeneration of tissues.
Improved Gut Health
Specific peptides may aid in healing the lining of the digestive tract, improving conditions like ulcers, leaky gut, and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).
Weight Loss Support
Specific peptides regulate fat metabolism, aiding in weight loss by reducing fat storage and increasing fat breakdown.
Improved Muscle Growth and Recovery
Peptides can stimulate the production of growth hormone, promote muscle repair and enhance post exercise recovery.
Boost Immune Function
Specific peptides can support the immune system by improving the body’s defense mechanisms against infections and promoting faster healing.
Improved Sleep Quality
Certain peptides, like growth hormone-releasing peptides, may enhance sleep patterns and promote deeper, more restorative sleep.
Enhanced Skin Health
Certain peptides help stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and promoting a youthful appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate?
You may be a good candidate for peptide therapy if any of the below apply to you:
- You suffer from chronic pain or are struggling with an injury and desire accelerated healing and recovery?
- You are struggling with weight loss or managing body fat?
- You are looking to improve athletic performance and support muscle growth and recovery?
- You are wanting to improve your skin health by reducing wrinkles and enhancing skin elasticity and brightness?
- You are suffering from sleep disturbances and want to optimize sleep?
- You feel like your immune function is compromised and you often get sick?
You suffer from digestive complaints or have been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Leaky Gut, Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis and need to heal the gut?
What results can be expected?
Peptide therapy can lead to improved healing, faster recovery from injuries, enhanced muscle growth, reduced inflammation, better skin health, improved sleep quality, and more balanced metabolism. The results vary depending on the specific peptides used and individual health goals. Combining peptides with other wellness services can maximize results.
Are there any side effects?
The Invigory ensures that your peptide protocol is designed, administered and frequently reviewed by the medical director and team of nurses. While peptide therapy is generally considered safe, potential side effects can include headaches, fatigue, irritation at the injection site, water retention, or changes in blood pressure.
Can peptide therapy be combined with any other wellness services to maximize results?
The team at The Invigory can personalize a wellness protocol to maximize your results and overall wellbeing. Peptide therapy can be combined with services such weight loss management, IV nutrient drips, nutrient injections, advanced light therapy, infrared sauna, cold exposure (whole body and localized), salt therapy, NAD+, compressions and cupping and soft tissue work.
Are peptides banned from competitive sport?
It is important to check individual peptides against your governing body’s banned substance list. Athletes subject to WADA regulations are no longer allowed to use peptides in competition or training.
