We all want to live better, feel better, and be able to do the things that we love, but experiencing an injury, living with chronic illness, and even the natural aging process can make this difficult. Peptide therapy utilizes natural processes in the body as a way to increase vitality, energy, and your body’s healing abilities for a better quality of life.
Peptide therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on using peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, to promote healing and improve overall health. Peptides play a crucial role in various bodily functions, including regulating hormones, repairing tissues, and boosting the immune system.
One of the key benefits of peptide therapy is its ability to target specific areas in the body. Unlike traditional treatments that may have broader effects, peptides can be designed to specifically address certain conditions or concerns. This targeted approach makes it possible for individuals to see improvements in their particular health issues without experiencing unwanted side effects.
What Are Peptides?
Peptides are small or incomplete proteins made from amino acids naturally occurring in the body, and many drugs are made of these peptides or proteins. They are involved with almost all chemical reactions and transportation of signals and information in the body. Essentially, peptides serve as crucial building blocks for most structures and functions in the body. Peptide therapy uses synthesized peptides that copy the peptides already existing in humans and living organisms.
What Are the Benefits of Peptide Therapy?
Like bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, peptide therapy enhances the power of naturally occurring substances within your body to heal, balance, and increase a variety of functions.
If used correctly and under the guidance of a physician, peptides can:
- Increase healing
- Enhance physical performance
- Sharpen mental performance
- Slow or even stop the cellular aging process
Though peptides are not steroids, they can also help our bodies activate our own hormones and bring balance back to our aging bodies. There are even peptides that can activate telomerase and lengthen telomeres, protecting our DNA from damage due to aging. Most of the peptides are well tolerated and safe if administered under the guidance of a physician.
How Long Is Peptide Therapy Recovery?
There is no recovery associated with peptide therapy. Most patients will be able to continue or resume normal activities following treatments as many of these treatments are performed by the patient at home.
How Much Does Peptide Therapy Cost?
The cost of peptide therapy in San Diego will vary from patient to patient, depending on the type of peptide(s) used and the length of treatment. Dr. Crose develops unique treatments for each patient, so your peptide therapy may be priced differently than another’s. Dr. Crose’s pre-set peptide therapy protocols are priced as such:
Energy UP: Protocol provided over two months with 2-4 IV therapy sessions $2700-$3700
Acute Injury: 8-week treatment $1620-$1820
Chronic Injury: 2-4-month treatment $2000-$3000
Anti-Aging: 3-month treatment $5070-$6070
Neuroregenerative and Neuroprotection: 2-month protocol $3270-$5020
Each peptide therapy regimen is designed specifically for the patient. Dr. Crose will be happy to provide a more accurate cost estimate during your consultation.
When Will I See the Results of Peptide Therapy?
Peptides work by increasing functionality and restoring efficacy to the natural processes in the body. Therefore, it may take several weeks or months to see (and feel) the results of your peptide therapy session but most people notice their effects quickly.
Depending on the specific protocol you are given, once the peptides begin to repair and enhance your body’s functions, you may feel an increase in energy, improved joint and muscle health, faster recovery, and a stronger immune system.
Am I a Candidate for Peptide Therapy?
If you are experiencing a decline in energy, cognitive function, or overall health, or you have experienced a recent injury, have a chronic condition, or just want to boost performance, peptide therapy may be a good option for you.
Candidates for peptide therapy may also be experiencing the following concerns:
- High levels of body fat
- Anxiety and depression
- Reduced libido
- Fatigue
- Less muscle and lean body mass
- Decreased strength and stamina
- Reduced bone density
- Digestive problems and diseases (IBD, IBS)
- Pain
Dr. Crose will conduct a comprehensive consultation to determine your eligibility for peptide therapy. During your consultation, he will review your medical history and discuss your goals for peptide therapy. Then, he will design an individualized peptide therapy protocol that will best serve your needs.
How Is Peptide Therapy Performed?
You can begin treatment once Dr. Crose has created a custom peptide therapy treatment plan. Peptides can be administered orally, topically, subcutaneously, and intravenously. In many cases, peptide therapy is administered in cycles: your specific treatment dosage is administered at set intervals so that the body has time to adjust.
Dr. Crose has partnered with a custom producer of peptides and is able to provide them with a new patented technology that allows many of them to absorb orally as well or better than via IV or subcutaneously. Ultimately, he will choose the combination of therapy that is best suited to your needs.
