Peptides in Functional Medicine

Anne Swart Clinic: Peptides in Functional Medicine

Introduction to Peptides in Functional Medicine

At Anne Swart Clinic, we believe in harnessing the power of peptides to enhance health, optimize wellness, and promote healing. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that play crucial roles in various biological functions, including hormone regulation, cellular repair, and metabolic processes. In our functional medicine approach, we utilize specific peptides to target underlying health issues, improve overall function, and enhance the quality of life for our patients.

Benefits of Peptides

Peptides offer a range of benefits, including but not limited to:

• Weight Management: Certain peptides can assist in weight loss by regulating appetite and enhancing metabolic function.

• Anti-Aging: Peptides are known for their regenerative properties, helping to reduce the signs of aging by promoting collagen production and cellular repair.

• Enhanced Recovery: Peptides can accelerate healing processes, making them beneficial for recovery from injuries or surgical procedures.

• Hormonal Balance: Many peptides support the regulation of hormones, which can improve mood, energy levels, and overall well-being.

• Improved Performance: For athletes or active individuals, some peptides may enhance performance, endurance, and muscle growth.

Our Most Used Peptides

1. Semaglutide: Primarily used for weight management, Semaglutide mimics the effects of the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and insulin secretion.

2. Tirzepatide: This peptide is designed to improve glycemic control and promote weight loss by acting on multiple pathways involved in metabolism.

3. BPC157: Known for its healing properties, BPC157 supports tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and promotes recovery from injuries.

4. MOTS-C: A mitochondrial-derived peptide that may enhance energy metabolism and promote longevity by improving cellular function.

5. PT141: This peptide is primarily used to enhance sexual function and libido, acting on the central nervous system.

6. PNC27: Investigated for its potential anti-cancer properties, PNC27 may help target cancer cells while sparing healthy cells.

7. GHK-Cu: A copper peptide known for its skin-rejuvenating effects, GHK-Cu promotes collagen synthesis and enhances wound healing.

8. Epithalon: This peptide is believed to promote longevity by enhancing telomere function and supporting cellular regeneration.

9. MK677: Mimicking the action of ghrelin, MK677 can help increase growth hormone levels, enhancing muscle mass and improving metabolism.

10. SR9009: Known as a Rev-ErbA agonist, SR9009 has shown promise in enhancing endurance and metabolic rate, making it popular among athletes.
