Peptide therapy has become an increasingly popular way to help patients lose weight and keep it off. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers to regulate bodily functions. Certain peptides have been shown to beneficially impact weight loss efforts when administered properly.
When combined with lifestyle changes, peptide therapy may enable patients to lose a significant amount of weight. Results vary from patient to patient depending on factors like:
- Diet and nutrition
- Exercise regimen
- Existing medical conditions
- Genetics
- Commitment to the program
However, on average, patients in a peptide therapy program lose
10-15 pounds per month when the peptides are combined with diet and exercise. Some patients even lose up to 30 pounds per month, especially those who have more weight to lose initially.
Why Peptides Help With Weight Loss
There are a few reasons why peptide therapy complements weight loss so well:
- Suppress appetite - Certain peptides mimic the effects of hormones that signal the brain to feel satiated, acting as natural appetite suppressants. This makes it easier to eat fewer calories.
- Burn fat - Some peptides help the body release stored fat and burn it for energy. They also block the formation of new fat cells.
- Build muscle - Certain peptides boost muscle mass and tone. More muscle raises the daily metabolic rate, allowing patients to burn more calories around the clock.
- Increase energy - Improved energy allows patients to exercise more consistently. The combination of a peptide regimen plus cardio and strength training burns significant fat.
Types of Peptides Used for Weight Loss
There are several highly effective peptides used specifically for weight loss purposes:
- CJC-1295 - Also known as DAC, this peptide enhances metabolism and fat burning while curbing appetite. It also increases lean muscle mass.
- Ipamorelin - Mimics GHRP to preserve muscle, burn fat stores, boost metabolism, and suppress appetite. Often stacked with CJC-1295.
- Sermorelin - Bioidentical growth hormone releasing hormone. Like natural growth hormone, it builds muscle, boosts metabolism, and burns adipose tissue.
- AOD 9604 - Regulates metabolism, reduces fat mass, and suppresses appetite. Originally developed to treat obesity.
- BPC-157 - Heals damaged muscle, boosts metabolism, and suppresses appetite signals. Accelerates weight loss results.
- Thymosin Beta 4 - Builds and repairs muscle while decreasing fat by raising basal metabolic rate.
Dosage and Administration
Peptides come in injectable forms and dosages must be physician-supervised:
- CJC-1295 - 2mg per week
- Ipamorelin - 200mcg per day
- Sermorelin - 500mcg per day
- AOD 9604 - 500mcg per day
- BPC-157 - 300mcg per day
- TB-500 - 10mg per week
Most patients receive guidance to
self-administer injections daily or several times per week. The duration of peptide therapy for weight loss is 6-12 months on average, with patients reaching a maintenance phase thereafter.
When administered correctly under medical guidance, the only side effect is temporary soreness at injection sites.
Real Patient Examples
Actual patients have experienced stunning weight loss from peptide therapy:
- Sandra, age 50 - Lost 40 pounds over 5 months
- Jacob, age 47 - Lost 25 pounds in 12 weeks
- Alicia, age 44 - Still losing 30 pounds over 7 months
- Brian, age 35 - Lost 50 pounds in 6 months
These patients received personalized peptide regimens plus nutrition plans and gym memberships. Most paid $500 to $700 per month for treatment.
