January 3, 2024The Power of Niacin: Mind and Body Wellness
Providing a Cellular Boost for your Overall Wellness
In our ongoing commitment to constantly be innovating and adding new tools to our toolbox, we’ve made some very intentional moves this year into the peptide space, advancing our understanding and use of peptide injections and related treatments to get our patients the best possible outcomes.
The way that peptides work to rejuvenate and restore is so central to what we already do and who we already are. Our portfolio of care is focused on the body’s ability to rebuild itself, and that starts with one of its core building blocks, peptides.
Peptides combine into proteins that slow the “aging process” but in a cosmetically driven culture, many hear “anti-aging” and think creams and serums to fight “fine lines and wrinkles.” Peptides are part of a system that manages and maintains some of the most important processes of our health, making it more possible to “live the life you love.”
Restorative care through peptides affects your immune and gut health, sleep quality, weight loss, sexual function, muscle mass and bone health, hormone levels, and mental health including memory and cognitive functions. “Reducing the overall signs of aging” might sound non-essential, depending on how one prioritizes appearance. But once you learn that “anti-aging” translates into the body’s most crucial functions, suddenly, restoring, protecting, and maintaining those abilities becomes not just a luxury but fundamental.
Last month, we’ve talked about peptide injections focused on weight loss. This month we’re looking at the relationship between Niacin and mental health and wellness. Niacin or B-3 is one of many B vitamins and is the one most known for breaking nutrients down into energy, supporting the body’s cellular structure and metabolic rates and processes which extends to alleviating some of the primary causes of mental suffering like anxiety, stress, and some cases of depression.
Niacin plays a key role in a full circle relationship, hitting a list of wide ranging functions that may seem categorically separate from the direct definition of mental health (weight loss, sex health, immunity, digestion, physical strength, hormone imbalance). But if you look at that list, you realize everything on it is comprehensively integrated with mental health.
To break it down more specifically, Niacin breaks down fatty acids reducing cholesterol and enhancing metabolism, improving circulation and joint mobility, and balancing hormones that affect everything from psychological and emotional to physical and sexual performance. In addition to the adding those positives, treatments combat and minimize the negative side effects of age-related niacin deficiencies, righting a laundry list of ills like headache, fatigue, apathy, disorientation, memory loss, and more, including, in severe deficiency cases, a disease called pellagra which if left untreated could prove fatal. A threat to the system in so many ways and yet so treatable with an approach that protects, while providing the added benefits a powerful antioxidant (breaking down fats and releasing toxins).
In coming months, we’ll continue to explore the worlds of restoration affected by peptides and how each area is affected by specific treatments and resources available to our clients, but peptide therapy treatments are one of those central pivot points that we aim to understand, treat, and educate on, that shapes all directions: Niacin directly affects mental health functions (memory, hormone balance, etc.) and secondarily doubles down on mental health as affected by the body’s condition and performance in almost all other areas, providing a cellular boost for your overall wellness.
