How is peptide therapy administered?

Peptide therapy involves injecting peptide compounds under the skin to promote various health and anti-aging benefits. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers to regulate bodily functions. There are many different peptides used in treatment, each with specific purposes.
Administering peptide therapies requires working with a knowledgeable medical provider to determine the right peptides, dosages, and injection schedule based on individual needs. Some key points about how peptide treatments are administered:

Peptide injections are typically given subcutaneously, meaning injected into fatty tissue under the skin. This allows the peptides to be absorbed gradually into the bloodstream. Common injection sites include the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms where subcutaneous fat is accessible.

Injections are generally given using small insulin syringes. The peptides come in lyophilized powder form and must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water before drawing them into syringes. Proper sterile technique is essential.

Dosages are measured in mcgs (micrograms) or mgs (milligrams) depending on the specific peptide used. Dose amount and injection frequency depends on the patient's health goals, age, biomarkers tested, and more. It's imperative to work with an experienced provider for appropriate dosing.

Most peptide protocols involve injecting dosages multiple times per day, usually with meals. The half-lives of peptides are short, so frequent smaller doses help achieve optimal blood plasma levels. Injection timing also depends on whether the peptides should be taken on empty or full stomach.

Some examples of commonly used peptides and their dosing protocols:

Ipamorelin - Typically taken 3 times per day at 200-300mcg per dose. Often stacked with CJC-1295 peptide for growth hormone release.

BPC-157 - Taken 1-2 times per day at 250-500mcg per dose to help heal leaky gut and injuries.

AOD 9604 - Taken 1-3 times per day at 500-1000mcg per dose to stimulate fat metabolism for weight loss.

Thymosin Beta-4 - Taken 2 times per week at 2500-10,000mcg per dose to improve skin and wound healing.

PT-141 - Taken as needed at 500-2000mcg per dose for sexual arousal/libido enhancement.

The required injection frequency makes commitment and consistency key for optimal peptide therapy results. It’s important to closely follow your medical provider’s protocol for dosing and timing.
