Peptide Therapy: The New Anti-Aging Medicine By Henry C. Sobo, MD P
eptide therapy is a relatively new, safe and effective treatment option for many conditions. Peptides are
chains of amino acids, which are the build- ing blocks of the body’s proteins. Their main function is to signal the body to re- lease its own natural mechanisms to relieve symptoms or conditions. They may act to promote the release of anti-inflammatory substances to relieve pain. They may act to enhance hormone production and pro- mote weight loss, better sleep, mood or cognition, or improve energy and muscle strength. There are thousands of peptides naturally occurring in our bodies. Some of the most important peptide treatments have been tested extensively and are approved and used in many countries around the world as well as in the United States.
Peptides Can Improve Stem Cell/PRP Treatment
Since peptides can help many of the conditions for which a person might receive a stem cell or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment, I have incorporated the adminis- tration of peptides into our treatments and have seen an enhancement of the benefits of these procedures.
The most well-known and the most widely applied treatments are those for arthritic or damaged joints, tendons and ligaments, which cause pain and nega- tively impact one’s mobility and lifestyle. Peptides not only play the role of being an additional independent treatment for these conditions, but peptides can im- prove stem cell or PRP treatment results. Since the mechanisms by which PRP and stem cell treatments work are enhanced by peptides, the results can be even better when peptides are applied within the stem cell or PRP procedure, and as a support afterwards.
Peptides for Pain Relief and Weight Loss
BPC-157 and Thymo- sin Beta 4 are two of the peptides commonly used with stem cell and PRP procedures. They have been shown experimentally to accelerate the healing of damaged ligaments and tendons, and shown to reduce pain in orthopedic conditions, and reduce the

need for narcotic type medications. Thymo- sin Beta 4 may bring forth the healing ca- pacities of stem cells making their treatment application even more effective.
Peptides are utilized to burn fat and enhance muscle, making a healthy diet and exercise regimen more successful. They are especially useful to create positive results for those who have found it difficult to lose weight due to their metabolism. Different peptides work by different mechanisms to get results. Combinations of peptides can be
