Peptide Injections

Meaning

Peptide injections refer to the clinical administration of synthetic or naturally derived peptides directly into the body, typically via subcutaneous or intramuscular routes, for therapeutic purposes. This delivery method is necessary because peptides are composed of amino acids and would be rapidly degraded by the digestive enzymes if taken orally. Peptide injections are a common modality in hormonal health, used for administering agents like insulin, growth hormone-releasing peptides, and certain weight-management medications. Precise dosing and sterile technique are essential for safety and efficacy.
