What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptide therapy is a cutting-edge approach in regenerative and functional medicine that supports the body’s natural ability to heal, repair, and regulate itself. At Mainestream Health in Southern Maine, we offer personalized peptide protocols designed to optimize health at the cellular level.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the body—signaling cells to repair tissue, regulate hormones, improve sleep, and support metabolic function. While your body naturally produces peptides, that production declines with age, stress, injury, and chronic illness, which is sometimes why healing can get harder as we get older.
Common Reasons Patients Seek Peptide Therapy
Patients often explore peptide therapy for:
Metabolic health optimization
Natural anti-aging and skin rejuvenation
Improved sleep and recovery
Chronic injury or slow tissue healing
Men’s health and vitality
Personalized Peptide Therapy at Mainestream Health
Peptide therapy is part of a larger shift toward regenerative medicine—supporting the body’s innate ability to heal rather than forcing change. When used appropriately and guided by experienced providers, peptides can be a powerful addition to an integrative care plan. At Mainestream Health, peptide therapy is never one-size-fits-all. Each program is customized based on your goals, health history, and lifestyle.
Our integrative approach combines peptide therapy with services like acupuncture, chiropractic care, and lifestyle support when appropriate.
