Peptide Therapy
Peptide therapy is a newly emerging field of supplements that will revolutionize healthcare. Peptides are natural compounds made by our body and now through research, we are able to use them as supplements. Very few Functional Medicine doctors across the globe are properly trained in the use of peptides for various medical conditions, and Dr. Gupta has been trained from A4M, USA for the peptides.
Peptide therapy online is a cutting-edge medical science that targets specific sites in our body and has the power to rewrite the body’s chemistry.
What are peptides?
Peptides are a chain of amino acids. The difference between protein and peptide is that proteins are a large collection of amino acids while peptides are a small number of amino acids Peptides have several biological actions like anti-inflammatory, the anti-infective, aging process, etc.
These peptides have far-reaching health effects on our bodies as they bind to specific receptors in our cells and help the body to make positive health changes.
There are over 7000 peptides that have been identified by scientists and this list is growing rapidly.
These peptides have been identified to help us treat and reverse several health conditions.
What are the benefits of peptide therapy?
- Autoimmune diseases
- Weight loss, especially fat loss
- Hashimoto’s disease
- Gut disorders like leaky gut
- IBS
- Antiaging
- Tissue repair, muscle injuries
- Muscle growth, Improving exercise capacity, especially recovery
- Balancing hormones
- Joint pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Obesity
- Fighting chronic infections like EBV, Lyme disease
- Diabetes

Some peptides that we use in our practice
Thymosin Alpha 1
Naturally produced in the thymus gland. Levels decrease with age.
The mechanism through which TA1 works. Enhances cell-mediated immunity. Increases efficiency of antigen-presenting cells.
Stimulate the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines (macrophage inhibitory factor, granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor, B cell growth factor, gamma interferon, IL-2, and IL-7.
It is useful in a lot of conditions to reduce inflammation, especially autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s, Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative colitis, Rheumatoid arthritis, and Lupus.
Thymosin Beta 4
Most abundant thymus gland peptide. Essential for the protection, repair, and regeneration of tissues. Broad activity as shown in multiple clinical trials. Lowers proinflammatory cytokines. It is helpful for injuries, nerve inflammation, and chronic pain issues.
BPC 157
15 aa peptide from gastric juice. Highly stable and resistant to hydrolysis and enzymatic degradation. studies have shown it to accelerate the healing of many different wounds, including muscle, tendon, and damaged ligaments.
Additionally, BPC 157 has been shown to protect organs and aid in the prevention of gastric ulcers. BPC-157 acts systemically in the digestive tract to combat leaky gut, IBS, gastrointestinal cramps, and Crohn’s disease.
GHK- Cu
GHK-Cu is a natural peptide in human blood plasma, urine, and saliva. Research in animals reveals that GHK-Cu can improve wound healing, immune function, and skin health by stimulating collagen, fibroblasts and promoting blood vessel growth.
GHK-Cu suppresses inflammation by lowering the level of acute-phase inflammatory cytokines, including TGF-β and TNF-α
CJC/Ipamorelin
These are growth hormone-releasing peptides that can be very useful for weight loss issues. They are helpful as anti-aging peptides.
