Getting older is an unfair yet inevitable part of life. Each year brings unexpected changes in your body you’d probably rather not face: decreases in muscle mass, bone density, libido. Even worse, some of these changes can be dangerous, like weight gain, higher risk of injury, fatigue, and increased anxiety and depression. This, as a result, can take a toll on your confidence and energy.
Medical options come with far too many side effects, a risk you’d rather not take, while your other choices seem few and far between. Exercise is now more likely to result in an injury. Dieting can be harmful, and you might not see the results as readily after putting in all the work.
What else is there?
When all of it feels hopeless, like there’s nothing you can do to regain your strength and health, what other options do you have? How can you regain your excitement for life and reinvigorate your vitality?
A new and exciting treatment option is taking the medical community by storm, and it’s changing everything.
This treatment comes with little to no side effects (if you get them from a source you can trust and continue to talk to your doctor along the way). It can help you increase muscle mass, lose weight, reduce exercise-induced injuries, or reverse the signs of aging related to wrinkles or hair loss. It’s called peptide therapy, and it’s now available at The Resurge Clinic.
What Are Peptides?
Peptides are the building blocks of proteins. They are made from the naturally occurring substances our bodies need to function: amino acids. Those amino acids link together to form amino-peptide chains, and the peptide chains then link together as peptides.
Peptides fulfill a variety of functions in humans and are found in every living organism. Smaller than proteins, peptides are becoming increasingly important biological entities in scientific research. They are capable of treating disease, reducing inflammation, increasing the nutritious value of foods, killing microbes, and reversing aging.
Peptides act as hormones, message deliverers from tissue to blood, appetite regulators, and more. Collagen peptides, for example, are responsible for the look and feel of your skin. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Peptide therapy is the process of using peptides to create particular results in the body by replacing what is missing or in short supply. In other words, it works as “replacement therapy”. The most well-known example is used by diabetics who are unable to produce insulin in sufficient quantities and are given injectable therapies to maintain glycemic control.
How Do Peptides Work Exactly?
Peptides interact with various parts of the body by binding to receptors on the cell surface to signal for health improvement. When they’re missing, they can’t interact with the cells. Typically, peptides signal your body into healing injuries, so using peptides tells your body there’s an emergency and it should start producing more of what you’re signaling it needs.
Therefore, peptides give your body the tools to replenish what it needs to increase vitality.
Because of this, there are many potential benefits to using peptide therapy. Peptides can help optimize your skin health, sexual health, and overall well-being. They can help you lose weight, stimulate hair growth, repair your tissues, and improve cognitive function among many other benefits.

What Peptides Are Best For Men?
There are many different types of peptides, but we recommend peptides that can benefit you in three areas: increasing the growth hormone (GH), protecting your body, and reducing the signs of aging.
These peptides help in obvious areas related to aging: how you look and feel.
Sermorelin
Sermorelin stimulates GH via pituitary binding. Growth Hormone boosts protein production, promotes the utilization of fat, interferes with the action of insulin, and raises blood sugar levels. GH essentially provides tons of benefits for its use, including increases in muscle mass and bone density.
Sermorelin has been shown clinical results that include:
- Fat loss
- Increases in lean muscle mass
- Better lipid profiles
- Better deep-wave sleep
- Increased repair and recovery
Long-term use can become even more impactful.
BPC-157
BPC is a protein found in stomach acid. Composed of 15 amino acids, BPC-157 is part of the body protection compound (BPC) and has been known to heal many wounds, including tendon-to-bone. It even protects organs and aids in the prevention of gastric ulcers.
BPC-157 has been shown to:
- Improve healing of many types of wounds
- Protect intestinal organs and prevent stomach ulcers
- Combat leaky gut, IBS, gastrointestinal cramps, and Crohn’s disease
- Work as an anti-inflammatory agent
- Maintain the integrity of mucosal lining GI tract
- Repair tissues of gut, tendons, ligaments, brain, bone, etc.
- Improve digestive function
- Protect and promote the healing of the liver due to toxic stress
BPC-157 comes in capsules and subcutaneous injectables.
GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu was first identified in human plasma but has now been found in many locations, such as saliva and urine. It’s naturally occurring and plays a variety of roles critical to normal body function, including promoting activation of wound healing, attracting immune cells, or providing anti-inflammatory effects.
Clinically, GHK-Cu is used to decrease fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis. It also improves hair regrowth.
Based on research, GHK-CU has been shown to:
- Improve healing of many types of wounds and reduce infections
- Act as an anti-inflammatory to reduce pain
- Prevent and correct hair loss
- Improve skin collagen by 70%
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles by 35%
- Heal nerves and reduce certain types of nerve pain
- Protect the lungs from liver fibrosis
The peptide has even been used as an anti-cancer therapy. GHK-Cu is available as a cream, foam, subcutaneous injectable, and as a serum.
When Can I See Results?
When taking peptides, you can start noticing a difference in a matter of weeks. Most treatments, however, take anywhere from 3-6 months to display their full benefits.
What Are The Potential Risks?
Because they are pure amino acids, and the body already easily breaks down amino acids, peptides result in fewer adverse reactions than an alternative medication.
Depending on where you get them, how you take them, and your own health risks, topical peptides do have the potential to leave you with skin irritation, rash, or itchiness.
Occasionally, the following has been reported:
- Increased hunger
- Increased cortisol (feeling anxious)
- Increased blood pressure
- Bloating and water retention
Where you get your peptides is especially important. Trained, experienced medical professionals should be your only source. Those ordered online or from other less-trustworthy origins can include harmful additives or incorrect dosages.
