What Are Mitochondrial-Derived Peptides (MDPs)?
Mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) are small proteins produced in the mitochondria, your cells’ energy centers. These peptides play a critical role in cellular health, metabolism, and the aging process. At The Riegel Center in Plano, TX, Dr. Christopher Riegel utilizes advanced MDP therapy to support healthy aging and hormone balance.
How Do Mitochondrial-Derived Peptides Support Anti-Aging and Hormone Optimization?
MDPs help regulate:
- Cellular repair and regeneration
- Inflammation response
- Energy production
- Metabolic function
By improving mitochondrial function, MDPs can contribute to increased vitality, improved hormone balance, and slower biological aging—key goals in age management medicine.
What Is NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) and How Is It Used at The Riegel Center?
NAD is a coenzyme found in all living cells, essential for energy production and DNA repair. As we age, NAD levels naturally decline, which can lead to fatigue, brain fog, and cellular aging.
At The Riegel Center, NAD therapy is often used alongside MDP treatments to:
- Restore cellular energy (ATP)
- Enhance mental clarity and focus
- Support muscle function and recovery
- Improve hormonal and metabolic health
Who Can Benefit from MDP and NAD Therapy?
Dr. Riegel recommends mitochondrial peptide and NAD therapy for individuals experiencing:
- Low energy or chronic fatigue
- Hormonal imbalances
- Brain fog or memory issues
- Poor sleep quality
- Signs of premature aging
- A plateau in traditional HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)
