Feeling Run Down? Peptides Can Boost Your Energy

Your body makes and uses peptides, or short strings of proteins, for a wide range of purposes. They impact everything from how your body uses energy from your food to the way your cells move. 

When you exercise, for example, your body uses peptides to help your muscles produce more energy. 

Are you picking up on a theme? If you’ve been feeling run down, peptides could give you a tool to combat your fatigue.

That’s why Robert Grafton, MD, and our team offer peptides here at PSI Medical Group in Wixom, Michigan. With personalized peptide therapy, we can help you get the boost you need. 

Understanding peptide therapy 

Using peptides to improve a person’s wellness is by no means new. Medical experts have been applying peptides for more than 100 years. Over time, our ability to harness the therapeutic benefits of these short protein chains has evolved significantly. 

As one study notes, “Major breakthroughs in molecular biology, peptide chemistry, and peptide delivery technologies have allowed significant progress in the fields of peptide drug discovery, peptide production, and their therapeutic applications.”

Today, Dr. Grafton can perform blood testing to see which peptides may be most effective for treating your decreased energy. Then he personalizes a treatment plan for you, aimed at helping you get a boost. 

How specific peptides can make a difference 

Here at PSI Medical Group, we offer a number of different peptides. To help you understand how they could affect your energy levels, let’s look at a couple of your options individually. 

CJC-1295 

This peptide goes to work in your pituitary gland, encouraging it to release more growth hormones, which in turn helps your body increase growth factor levels. These growth factors play a big role in the way your cells function. 

Specifically, CJC-1295 can help to accelerate your metabolism. As your body gets better at using food for fuel faster, your energy levels should see an increase. You might notice improved physical performance, too. 

Thymosin alpha 1

This peptide is a proven way to support your immune function. 

It helps your body fight infection and manage inflammation. If your body has been battling a chronic illness or persistent inflammation, it’s no surprise that you’ve been feeling worn down. By targeting the root cause of your fatigue, thymosin alpha 1 could give you the boost you need. 

These are just two examples. Here at our office, Dr. Grafton spends time learning about your fatigue and any other symptoms that accompany it. Paired with lab work, this helps him tailor the right peptide therapy for you.
