Frequently Asked Questions

What is Peptide Therapy?

Peptides are proteins composed of shortchain amino acids that act as chemical messengers and signalers for very specific functions in your body. Your body utilizes over 7000 peptides, each with a particular action that affects all aspects of health.

As we age, our bodies produce fewer quality peptides, leading to fatigue, weight gain, illness, and other medical issues. Peptide therapy utilizes plant or animal sources to restore these depleted peptides to encourage repair at the cellular level to treat certain medical conditions. Peptide therapy can be delivered by injection, nasal spray, topical creams, and oral medication.

What does Peptide Therapy do?

Peptide therapy can help reverse aging, restore vitality, and improve bone density. Peptide therapy involves the use of shortchain amino acids to help restore optimal function of many body functions, including:
 Accelerate healing
 Pain relief
 Weight loss
 Building of lean muscle mass
 Sexual function

What Peptide Therapies are available?

  • Sermorelin: Sermorelin helps encourage the release of growth hormone
    from the pituitary gland into your bloodstream. Sermorelin therapy helps reduce body fat, increase strength and endurance, and builds lean muscle mass.
  • Ipamorelin: Ipamorelin contains five amino acids that encourage the
    natural production of growth hormone. Like sermorelin, ipamorelin helps reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass, and boost collagen production.
  • CJC 1295: CJC 1295 encourages the natural production of growth
    hormone and insulinlike growth factor (IGF1). CJC 1295 helps reduce fat, improve sleep patterns, and increase lean muscle mass.
  • Thymosinbeta 1: Thymosinbeta 1 helps regenerate and heal tissue
    throughout your body. It also helps regulate immune function and
    inflammation at the cellular level.
  • PT 141: PT 141 or bremelanotide works through the nervous system to
    help improve erectile dysfunction and female sexual arousal disorder.
  • BPC 157: BPC 157 helps speed up wound healing and encourages blood
    vessel formation. It can help improve mobility, lessen joint pain, and
    address digestive issues.
  • Fluctuating blood sugar

What are the benefits of Peptide Therapy?

Peptide therapies help optimize declining levels of these amino acids in the body for better health. Peptides occur naturally in your body, so they are well tolerated with virtually no side effects. We often use a combination of peptides for the best outcomes. Peptide administration methods include creams, pills, gels, injections, or pellets.
