Testosterone is an important hormone that regulates many bodily functions in both men and women. As we age, testosterone levels naturally decline, which can lead to undesirable effects. Various peptides have been researched for their ability to increase testosterone production. Two of the most well-studied are:
- Follistatin: This peptide shows promise in boosting testosterone levels by inhibiting activin, a protein that suppresses testosterone production. Studies have found follistatin administration leads to increased serum testosterone in animal models.
- Kisspeptin: This peptide stimulates the release of other hormones that trigger testosterone production. Multiple studies have demonstrated kisspeptin peptides can increase testosterone levels in humans.
Some other peptides that may increase testosterone include:
- GHRP: Growth hormone releasing peptides may indirectly elevate testosterone by increasing growth hormone levels. More research is needed to confirm effects.
- Melanotan II: This peptide boosts sexuality and sexual function in animal models, which may be related to increased testosterone. However, human studies are lacking.
- Ipamorelin: This growth hormone secretagogue may raise testosterone by stimulating GH release. Current research is limited but promising.
The most compelling evidence supports
follistatin and
kisspeptin administration for boosting testosterone production in humans. These peptides are still being investigated and are not yet approved pharmacological treatments.
At
Optimal Hormone Health Center, we offer cutting-edge
peptide therapies to help patients optimize their hormone levels. Our highly skilled medical team can determine if peptide treatment is right for you after thoroughly evaluating your health background.
We currently offer the following
testosterone-enhancing peptides at our clinics:
- Follistatin 315: After an initial health assessment, this peptide can be administered via injection in our office to give testosterone levels a physiologic boost. Most patients require monthly maintenance injections.
- Kisspeptin-10: This short peptide chain is formulated into a nasal spray that patients can conveniently self-administer daily to support healthy testosterone production.
Our clinic takes a
holistic approach to testosterone optimization. In addition to peptides, we may recommend lifestyle changes like weight loss, improved sleep habits, and reduced stress.
Bioidentical testosterone replacement is another effective treatment we utilize when appropriate.
