What Are They?
Peptides are reduced chains of amino acids--more than 50 amino acids is classed as a protein, and anything less is called a peptide. They commonly occur in mammalian cells where they relay cell-to-cell communication.
Our world is pretty toxic; because of the food we eat, the water we drink, and air we breathe. To protect us, our body gears up to fight toxins every day. But sometimes it needs a little reminder or jump start to do what it was designed to do.
A few examples of this include shedding weight, gaining muscle, having a balanced gut microbiome, and an all-around feeling of wellness when our rhythms are following their intended patterns.
Different peptides work quickly and effectively for different purposes, and they should be cycled on and off as needed.
IV Therapy works to repair the body and then uses other means, like oral supplements and food, to keep it functioning properly.
Our bodies are hard workers, toiling day and night, but we often don't give them the fuel or tools they need to operate at their best. IV Therapy can help with that by providing nutrients and hydration directly to the cells.
Different Types of Peptide Therapies
Immune Boost
One of the most common IV therapies is some sort of immune boost, like a Mega Myers bag or Myers Cocktail.
However, our Myers Cocktails in Omaha are superior because of the form of Vitamin C we use. Sodium Ascorbate is a more bioavailable form of Vitamin C, but it also costs more.
So sometimes you may be paying for an IV bag and not getting the best form of the vitamins and/or nutrients to be used in the way that you expect, but paying a much higher amount for it. This idea also pertains to high-dose Vitamin C bags which are often used as an adjunct therapy for cancer(s).
IV Ozone Therapy
IV ozone therapy is one of the most effective treatments available for viral, bacterial, carcinogenic, and auto-immune diseases, as well as muscle development and recovery. This therapy combines ozone gas and UVBI lights to create a powerful healing agent.
Together, it decreases inflammation systemically while simultaneously increasing the blood flow, thereby increasing the amount of oxygen available to the body to fight, heal, and recover.
The combination of high-dose IV Vitamin C with IV ozone is an excellent supplementary cancer treatment. This therapy also involves IV fluid replacement and the addition of glutathione, which is our bodies' most abundant detoxifier and antioxidant that lives in the lungs.
IV NAT+ Therapy
IV NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is gaining prominence because of all the recent research backing it up. NAD exists naturally in the body, but like hormones, its levels lessen as we age. This deterioration typically starts when our bodies can no longer recycle and make use of available NAD+.
Low NAD+ has been linked to several chronic health conditions, such as neurodegeneration, muscular decline, and decreased cardiometabolic function. However, it is also well-known for its anti-aging effects. In fact, NAD+ plays a key role in regulating many major biological processes involved in critical enzymatic reactions.
What Are the Benefits of NAD+?
It supports numerous cognitive and sensory functions, including gluconeogenesis and liver health, fat formation, insulin secretion in the pancreas, muscle insulin sensitivity and function, cardio-and cerebrovascular disease prevention, immune system regulation, and inflammation control.
To sum it up, NAD+ plays a major part in metabolism and supports healthy aging.
The benefits include increased anti-aging benefits, increased metabolism, increased energy at the cellular level, improved focus and mental clarity, reduced inflammation, and pain, improved muscle recovery, decreased risk of disease, improvement in many chronic illnesses, prevention and correction of DNA damage, improved symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Anti-aging benefits
Increased metabolism
Increased energy at the cellular level
Improved focus and mental clarity
Reduced inflammation and pain
Improved muscle recovery
Decreased risk of disease
Improvement in many chronic illnesses
Prevention and correction of DNA damage
Improved symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
NAD+ is a universal cellular electron transporter, coenzyme, and signaling molecule present in all cells of the body and is essential for cell function and viability. It is critical for energy (ATP) production, reduces inflammation, and is important in the repair of DNA.
IV Chelation Therapy in Omaha
Other IV therapies include IV chelation. As our food and water sources contain metals and other undesirable components, IV chelation is the best way to track, trend, and eliminate heavy metals. We all have some level of metal toxicity in us, but each person's threshold where those metals become intrusive is different.
Exposure to metal toxins can result in general feelings of fatigue or being drowsy, "brain fog" where you feel less able to think clearly, difficulty healing from injuries, and even a inability regain control over your weight. This happens because these metals can damage cells and prohibit them from working properly.
IV Alpha Lipoic Acid Therapy in Omaha (ALA)
IV Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is an amazing intervention for a lot of things but is often used and is very effective in the treatment of Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, IBD/IBS.
IV Stress Bag Therapy in Omaha
We also have many other IV therapies for those intrusive symptoms that impact how a person looks and feels including IV Stress bag (for those with anxiety and depression or long-haul post-Covid).
IV Beauty Bag Therapy in Omaha
IV Beauty bag (for those who are losing their hair, have brittle nails, or whose skin is dull), a pain and migraine IV (for the treatment of headaches, migraines, and either chronic or acute aches and pains throughout the body including in the joints, abdomen, neck, and back, etc.)
How much does peptide treatment cost?
Cost varies based on which peptide(s) are best for each person. Some people need peptides to jump start weight loss, others need peptides to heal an acute or chronic injury, some want peptides to build muscle mass while others want to shred and lean out their body. Prices vary by which particular peptide and length of treatment. Peptides are intended to be cycled on and off, some work instantly and others take a little while to build in the system before there is benefit. The patient and provider work together to determine length of time.
Are peptide treatments worth it?
Peptides are naturally in the body and explained most simplistically, they are cell-to-cell communicators. Sometimes our bodies and the different parts need a jump start, or a reminder, to do the job they were intended to do. Often this jump start or reminder is the last piece of the puzzle to get a person's body back to functioning optimal. Most people would say they were very happy they did peptide therapy, would recommend it to a friend, and are very willing to do it again as their body needs.
Do you need a prescription for peptide therapy?
Peptides do require a prescription. As a string of amino acids that communicates the message to the body to do their job, their impact can be enormous. The amount of monitoring depends on the peptide being taken and the overall health of the patient.
How long does peptide therapy last?
Peptides differ in the length of their effect. Some are cycled just once to jump-start and remind the body and are not needed again. Others are meant to be cycled on and off of as the body repairs and heals, or builds and defines, or as the needs change with age or toxicity. And others still can safely be used continuously with adjustments made in the dosing frequency or amount.
