🧬 What Are Peptides? How BPC-157 and Other Therapeutic Peptides Support Healing, Recovery & Wellness

At Dr. Drip IV Hydration & Wellness, we specialize in more than hydration. We offer cutting-edge peptide therapies—compounds used in regenerative, anti-aging, and performance medicine to help your body heal and thrive from the inside out.

One of the most powerful options? BPC-157.


💡 What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids—like mini proteins—that signal your body to activate specific healing, growth, or regulatory processes. Because they mimic natural signals already produced in your body, they’re often safe, targeted, and highly effective.
