WHAT IS NEUROPEPTIDE THERAPY?
The body’s peptides are naturally occurring chains of amino acids that act on receptor proteins and can alter metabolic activity and even gene expression. They essentially tell other molecules how and when to behave. Because peptides are already found within the body, supplementation only further reinforces their beneficial abilities. Peptide therapy has long been used to support tissue and cell repair, along with hormone balancing. However, certain peptides (neuropeptides) can also specifically be used to improve brain health, boost cognitive functioning, and enhance mood. They act like neurotransmitters, facilitating communication between neurons. Because these neuropeptides affect synaptic transmission, they can influence the brain and body in a multitude of ways and are involved in a wide variety of neurological and physiological processes.
