Peptide therapy involves using specific peptide compounds to promote weight loss by regulating appetite, fat burning, and other metabolic processes. Some of the most commonly used peptide hormones for weight loss include ipamorelin, CJC-1295, GHRPs, GLP-1, and more.
How does it work?
Peptide hormones work by binding to receptors in the body and mimicking or boosting natural hormone levels and functions. Some key ways peptide therapies promote weight loss include:
- Increasing growth hormone production - Growth hormone plays an important role in building muscle, burning fat, and regulating metabolism. Peptides like ipamorelin and CJC-1295 help amplify growth hormone pulse and levels.
- Suppressing appetite - Peptides like GLP-1 help regulate appetite by promoting feelings of fullness and satisfaction after eating. This helps reduce calorie intake.
- Boosting metabolism - By increasing muscle building and fat burning, certain peptides can elevate resting metabolic rate. More calories are burned at rest.
- Releasing stored fat - Growth hormone and other peptides instruct fat cells to release stored fatty acids to be burned as energy. This facilitates tapping into stubborn fat deposits.
- Ipamorelin - Selective growth hormone releasing peptide that can increases lean muscle mass, strength, metabolism, and weight loss without negatively affecting other hormone axes like cortisol. Can be used long-term with minimal side effects.
- CJC-1295 - Long acting growth hormone releasing hormone that elevates plasma growth hormone levels and produces sustained weight loss effects. Also helps gains in lean body mass.
- GHRPs (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides) - Group of peptides including GHRP-2, GHRP-6, hexarelin, that stimulate natural growth hormone release from the pituitary gland. Increases muscle mass and body fat reduction.
- Improving body composition - By targeting growth hormone and metabolic processes, peptide therapy builds lean muscle mass as it reduces body fat, leading to better body composition.
Studies on peptide therapy for weight loss
Multiple scientific studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of peptides for targeting weight loss and
obesity:
- A (..gov/12376323/) showed GHRP-6 administration helped obese patients lose up to 15% body fat, gain over 7% lean muscle mass, and boost energy expenditure by over 12%.
- A (..gov/22037012/) highlighted various peptides like ipamorelin and CJC-1295 can mimic growth hormone's lipolytic effects and reduce fat in obese patients without major side effects.
- A (..gov/29175536/) of 18 studies on GLP-1 mimetics found they delivered up to 6% body weight reduction in obese individuals through appetite regulation.
- A (..gov/15763375/) on GHRP-2 showed it specifically targets abdominal/visceral fat while increasing muscle mass.
