What Are the Best Peptides for Women’s Health?

What Is Peptide Therapy?

Peptide therapy uses peptides, sequences of amino acids, to stimulate your body to produce the hormones that it needs but stops producing naturally, largely due to the aging process. By giving your body’s chemistry the jolt it needs, peptide therapy can rejuvenate your body by going after inflammation, fat gain, the breakdown of collagen and the decline of your libido.

Many peptides work directly on your pituitary gland. Growth hormone-releasing peptides boost the production of human growth hormone that lags as you age so that your body starts to behave and respond as it did when you were younger.

Different peptides can be combined in various ways to deal with specific symptoms of aging. This capability makes it possible to customize peptide therapy to work with your body in a unique way to reduce inflammation, increase muscle mass, spur weight loss and stimulate the growth of healthy cells.

Peptide therapy is safe, and most people tolerate it very well (though pregnant women and anyone with cancer should not try it). With more than 60 different peptides approved by regulatory agencies on the market, the right combination of peptides may push back against the symptoms of aging that frustrate you the most.

How Peptides Work

As you age, your body stops producing the human growth hormone responsible for developing bone and muscle mass as you grow into adulthood. Beginning at age 30, the production of human growth hormone declines by 1.4% per year, or 14% every decade. By the time you reach your 40s and 50s, the signs of this decrease start to become evident.

Peptide treatments increase your body’s natural production of human growth hormone (HGH) by stimulating the pituitary gland. The extra HGH produced then works throughout your body in various ways. For example, it affects the action of lipoprotein lipase, which encourages the absorption of fat from your bloodstream into your fat cells. By inhibiting this action, HGH helps you lose excess fat.

The Benefits of Peptide Therapy

Peptide therapy offers a lot of remarkable benefits, depending on the combination of peptides you choose. Among the changes peptides can produce in your body are the following:

• Improved cognitive function, including memory and concentration
• Improved recovery after working out
• Decreased joint pain
• Accelerated wound healing and injury recovery
• Reduced body fat
• Increased energy and stamina
• Increased lean muscle mass
• Boosted immune system
• Increased libido/sex drive
• Improved sleep
• Improved skin elasticity, texture and tone
• Thickened hair
• Increased bone density
• Boosted cardiovascular health

The Best Peptides for Women’s Health

The right peptide therapy for you depends in part on the symptoms you’re experiencing and youroverall health. At Hormonally Balanced, we work with you to understand your body and plan a customized therapy regimen aimed at eliminating the symptoms plaguing you. Your therapy might be designed to boost energy, rejuvenate skin or hair, boost a diminished libido, help you control weight or slow aging overall.

The Best Peptides for Weight Management

As you move into your 40s and 50s, you may feel as if your body is sabotaging every effort you make to lose weight. Even when you eat healthily and maintain a solid exercise routine, you end up with belly fat creeping onto your abdomen — and adding more crunches to your workout doesn’t seem to do a thing.

You’re not wrong. In a sense, your body is undercutting your efforts to maintain a healthy, attractive weight. Peptide therapy can boost your body chemistry to burn fat and build muscle.

CJC 1295, ipamorelin and sermorelin are among the most effective peptides for weight loss. They speed up your metabolism naturally and safely. These peptides start burning fat effectively by about week 6 of your treatment plan, and they build muscle mass at the same time. You’ll also discover that you’re recovering from your workouts more quickly.

These peptides stimulate the breakdown of fats and inhibit the mechanism by which your body forms fat. They are safe for most people to take and don’t result in unwanted side effects.

The Best Peptides for Libido

As you age, you may find your sex drive waning. But the loss of libido you may experience doesn’t have to be inevitable or permanent. Peptide therapy can reignite your desire for sexual intimacy.

In particular, PT-141, also known as bremelanotide, effectively increases libido through its effects on your nervous system. You’ll experience increased arousal and sexual satisfaction thanks to the way PT-141 increases blood flow to the clitoris and vagina.

For some people, sexual dysfunction derives from psychological issues, including fear of intimacy, past sexual and other trauma, and depression. While PT-141 doesn’t help with any of these issues, it makes it easier to determine where your loss of libido stems from. PT-141 paves the way toward improved sexual performance and elevated sexual desire, which in turn can help improve your relationship with your partner, elevate your mood and lessen stress.

The Best Peptides for Anti-Aging

Peptide therapy that stimulates the body’s natural HGH production results in one of the most potent anti-aging treatments anywhere. Several well-known peptides work wonders when it comes to reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass, and may also result in tighter, more elastic skin that gives you a more youthful appearance.

In addition, some peptides are particularly strong at repairing damaged tissue through both accelerated wound healing and speeding up recovery after exercise or exertion. Others benefit your gut health and immune system, while still others push back against inflammation throughout the body. All these effects work together to help your body delay the effects of aging.

In many cases, these peptides can be stacked, or taken together, to help you get just the results you want. We can advise you on which peptides are the most appropriate for your unique body and needs.

Among the specific peptides employed in the fight against aging are:

• CJC-1295. This peptide’s strong point is triggering the release of HGH for extended periods of time.
• Ipamorelin. Also stimulating the release of HGH, ipamorelin increases bone density, reduces body fat and increases lean muscle mass. It’s often used in conjunction with CJC-1295 to make the production of HGH especially effective.
• Thymosin. A good choice for those wanting a boost to their immune systems, this peptide also helps treat chronic inflammation of several sorts as well as autoimmune conditions.
• Sermorelin. As the most popular peptide in the anti-aging medicine cabinet, sermorelin produces healthy skin, nails and hair while also helping you reduce body fat, especially belly or abdominal fat, and increase muscle mass.
• Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptides 2 and 6. These versions of GHRP activate the hormone ghrelin, boosting your IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) levels and providing benefits to gut health.

What Can You Expect from Peptide Therapy?

Peptide therapy isn’t an overnight treatment. After all, you’ve been aging for decades, and you can’t turn the clock back right away. But most people start to see some significant positive changes within a few weeks, with the full array of benefits making themselves known within 3 to 6 months. Here’s the general flow of what you can expect, with specifics depending on the unique combination of peptides that you and your doctor decide on.

In the first month, you’ll notice your energy and stamina increasing. You’ll find yourself sleeping better and waking feeling more content. You should also start to see weight loss and a reduction in belly fat by the end of the month.

During the second and third months of your treatment, the effects of peptide therapy on your skin, hair and nails should make themselves known, and you’ll enjoy fewer wrinkles and better skin tone and texture. You can also expect healthier muscles and joints and an accelerated metabolism, resulting in continued weight loss. You’ll also experience a boost in your sex drive as well as in your ability to concentrate.

As you move into months 4 and 5, your weight loss and increase in muscle mass will continue. You’ll also continue to experience healthier hair and nails, as well as tighter skin.

By the time you reach the end of your 6-month treatment, you should have experienced up to a 10% reduction in body fat and 10% increase in muscle mass (and that’s without dieting or exercise). As your immune system and organs become healthier, you’ll also feel stronger and more energetic overall.
