How Does Peptide Therapy Work?
Peptide Therapy is one of the most promising and rapidly growing fields in regenerative and functional medicine. Peptides—short chains of amino acids—act as signaling molecules that help regulate biological processes throughout the body.
While proteins are made of more than 100 amino acids, peptides contain fewer than 50, making them ideal messengers. With over 7,000 naturally occurring peptides in the human body, scientists have identified hundreds with specific therapeutic applications. Today, more than 200 peptides are in clinical development, and over 60 have already been FDA-approved.
These natural compounds support the body’s own healing mechanisms, enhance cellular performance, and optimize bodily functions—without the side effects often seen with traditional medications.
The Benefits of Peptide Therapy
Peptides can be used to treat or improve a wide range of health concerns, including:
Blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity
Weight loss and fat metabolism
Hormonal balance
Increased energy and improved mood
Deeper, more restorative sleep
Sexual wellness and performance
Faster healing from injury or surgery
Lean muscle development and strength
Pain relief and joint repair
Immune system support
Cognitive performance and memory
Anti-aging and cosmetic applications
Whether you're interested in optimizing performance or supporting longevity, peptide therapy can be customized to meet your goals.
Human Growth Hormone (hGH) Peptides
Peptides in this category are also known as Growth Hormone Secretagogues. They stimulate the release of human growth hormone (hGH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), which are critical for regeneration, recovery, and metabolic health.
Ipamorelin
A GHRP (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide) composed of 5 amino acids. Ipamorelin stimulates natural growth hormone release, supports lean muscle mass, fat loss, collagen production, deeper sleep, and overall regeneration.
CJC-1295
A GHRH analog designed for increased stability and half-life. It promotes natural growth hormone release, enhances muscle growth, fat loss, cognitive function, and tissue repair.
Sermorelin
Mimics the body's natural GHRH to increase growth hormone and IGF-1. It improves sleep, vitality, muscle tone, fat metabolism, and cognitive clarity.
Macimorelin
FDA-approved for diagnosing adult growth hormone deficiency. This orally administered peptide mimics ghrelin and is under clinical investigation for broader therapeutic use. Re-New Institute is actively participating in current studies.
Healing & Recovery Peptides
These peptides are known for their potent regenerative and anti-inflammatory effects, supporting recovery from injury, surgery, GI issues, or autoimmune conditions.
BPC-157
Short for Body Protection Compound, BPC-157 is a 15-amino acid peptide derived from gastric juices. It promotes tissue repair, reduces inflammation, supports joint health, and improves gastrointestinal disorders like GERD, IBS, and Crohn’s Disease.
Other Specialized Peptides
PT-141 (Bremelanotide)
Designed to treat sexual dysfunction in both men and women by stimulating the nervous system rather than vascular pathways—boosting libido, arousal, and sexual satisfaction.
AOD-9604
A fat-burning peptide fragment derived from human Growth Hormone. It aids in weight loss, boosts metabolism, and supports cartilage repair and regeneration.
Semaglutide
Commonly used for type 2 diabetes and weight management. It enhances insulin regulation, improves metabolic function, and supports healthy glucose levels.
GHK-Cu
A naturally occurring copper peptide that supports DNA repair, stimulates hair follicle growth, reduces inflammation, and enhances skin regeneration and anti-aging effects.
