Peptide Therapy

At RBI we are proud to offer the latest advances in biological and regenerative medicine. Peptide therapy is an emerging area of medicine that gives us added tools to optimize our health and age better. Peptides are small molecular chains of amino acids bonded by peptide bonds. There are thousands of naturally occurring peptides in our body, each with their own unique cellular functions and mechanisms. As we age the bodies intrinsic ability to maintain homeostasis and health starts to decline. By choosing the proper peptides we can help restore and revitalize cellular functions to their original purpose. Here are a few peptides and their uses we use in our clinic.
