What is peptide treatment good for, what conditions does it help with?
Peptide infusion is particularly valuable for people dealing with Long COVID, post-vaccine syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and Lyme disease, where underlying inflammation, immune dysfunction, and mitochondrial damage are key drivers. Beyond chronic illness, peptides are also used to support cognitive function, muscle recovery, sleep quality, hormonal balance, and healthy ageing.
How does peptide therapy work, and how is it administered?
Different peptides work through different mechanisms: some stimulate growth hormone release, others modulate the immune system, reduce gut inflammation, or protect mitochondria. Administration depends on the specific peptide: options include subcutaneous injections (vials), oral capsules, and nasal sprays. Your treating physician at Apheresis Center will determine the most appropriate form and protocol for your individual needs.
How long does peptide therapy take?
The duration of peptide therapy varies depending on the condition being treated and the specific peptides used. Some people notice improvements within a few weeks, while more complex chronic conditions, such as Long COVID or CFS, typically require several months of consistent use to achieve meaningful results. Your physician will outline a recommended treatment timeline at your consultation, with protocols adjusted based on your progress and response.
What are the side effects of peptide treatment?
Peptides are generally well tolerated because they work with the body’s own biological pathways rather than overriding them. Side effects vary by peptide and individual; some people experience mild injection-site reactions or transient fatigue as the body adjusts. All peptide infusion protocols at Apheresis Center are prescribed and supervised by a physician following a paid consultation, which includes a full review of your medical history.
