What is Peptide therapy?
Peptide Therapy is a relatively new form of treatment that uses peptides to influence and improve various bodily functions. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins. They play a crucial role in many physiological processes, including the regulation of hormones, neurotransmitters, and immune system responses. Peptides naturally appear in every cell and tissue throughout our bodies. While they may be incredibly small, they can really make a big difference in how you look, feel and live.
Peptides have a wide range of healing abilities based on their specific amino acids that involves the administration of specific peptides to influence various physiological processes. They play a critical role in regulating numerous bodily functions, including metabolism, immune system responses, and neurotransmitter activity. Since different peptides affect different cells and functions, they can be specially combined and customized to improve your health and well-being.
For years, doctors have used synthetic testosterone to treat low hormone levels in men.
A growing number of men in the United States are taking testosterone to reverse the gradual, age-related decline of the hormone, or so-called andropause. Hence, by some estimates, the number of testosterone prescriptions in the United States has tripled in recent years, and total sales now come to about $500 million a year. Thus, that’s not much compared with the $12.5 billion spent on cholesterol-lowering statins, but the upward trend is still impressive.
Hence, testosterone plays an important role in sexual interest and motivation.
But even men with low levels of the hormone can have erections. Moreover, some research hints at a use-it-or-lose-it feedback loop — testosterone levels increase with sexual stimulation and activity and decline after long periods of celibacy.
Testosterone And Sexual Function
Testosterone therapy hasn’t been effective as a treatment for erectile dysfunction. Hence, in younger men, the tests shrink, and in all men, the sperm count drops. Yet doctors who prescribe testosterone say their patients often report that it improves the quality of their erections.
