Peptide therapy involves the use of specific peptide compounds to promote improved health, wellbeing, and vitality. As we age or deal with health conditions, levels of certain hormones and signaling molecules in the body can become suboptimal, leading to symptoms. Peptide supplements can safely bring levels back to an optimal range.
Benefits of peptide therapy may include increased energy, improved body composition, better sleep, enhanced mood and cognitive function, increased libido and sexual performance, stronger immune system, faster injury recovery, and an overall heightened sense of vitality.
Some key peptides that may be used in treatment protocols include:
Peptide therapy is highly customizable to each patient's unique needs and health objectives. Our knowledgeable practitioners will thoroughly evaluate biomarkers, medical history, lifestyle and goals to design an integrated treatment approach.
Many people feel their quality of life declining as they get older or deal with illness/injury. Common frustrations include:
These frustrations are often related to suboptimal hormone and signaling activity. Peptide therapy can safely counteract many aspects of aging and illness to help patients feel healthier, happier, and more vibrant.
BPC-157 is a regenerative peptide that rapidly speeds up healing of injuries, especially tendons, ligaments and muscle tears. It also helps reduce systemic inflammation which contributes to joint/back pain, IBS, skin conditions and autoimmunity.
BPC-157 works by signaling resident stem cells to migrate to sites of damage and differentiate into the needed cell types. This dramatically accelerates the healing process.
Patients report significantly faster recovery from sports injuries, fewer joint/back pain flare-ups, improved IBS symptoms, faster wound healing, and reduced systemic inflammation.
CJC-1295 stimulates your pituitary gland to produce growth hormone. Growth hormone plays an important role in cell regeneration, tissue repair, bone strength, muscle building, weight loss, mood balance, libido, skin health, immune function and injury healing.
Unfortunately, growth hormone production declines significantly as we get older. CJC-1295 can safely restore youthful growth hormone levels to counteract negative effects of aging.
Patients using CJC-1295 often report benefits like increased muscle mass, decreased body fat, stronger bones, faster injury recovery, better mood and reduced signs of aging like wrinkles and age spots.
Epithalon is a peptide that influences the pineal gland. This enhances production of melatonin - our sleep regulatory hormone. Epithalon also supports telomere health and DNA integrity, resulting in potential anti-aging effects and disease prevention.
Patients using epithalon often report better sleep quality, increased energy, improved mood, enhanced libido, reduced anxiety/depression, protection against some degenerative disease processes and longer healthspan.
Growth hormone releasing peptides like GHRP-2, GHRP-6 and Ipamorelin stimulate your pituitary to secrete growth hormone. This offers very similar benefits to the related CJC compound mentioned earlier, counteracting negative effects of aging.
Increased lean muscle mass, body fat loss (especially stubborn belly fat), injury healing, better skin health/appearance, enhanced mood and reduced inflammation are commonly reported patient benefits of GHRP therapy. The GHRPs may also improve strength, power and cardiovascular performance.
GHRPs are especially helpful for boosting athletic recovery and maintaining youthful body composition as you get older. The anti-aging and rejuvenation effects can be profound.
Ipamorelin is a growth signaling peptide in the GHRP family. Like others in its class, Ipamorelin will stimulate pituitary release of natural growth hormone. As mentioned, restoring optimal growth hormone levels offers substantial anti-aging benefits.
Unique to Ipamorelin, it does not increase hunger or cortisol - side effects sometime seen with other GHRP peptides. Ipamorelin is particularly helpful for boosting fat burning, building lean muscle, recovering from injury/training, improving skin tone and supporting longevity.
LL-37 is a peptide with exceptional immune enhancing effects. It works by optimizing neutrophil activity - your immune system’s first line of defense against foreign pathogens.
Patients using LL-37 generally notice substantially fewer colds/flu and respiratory infections. Allergic reactions may also be reduced. For patients prone to getting often sick when exposed viruses and bacteria, LL-37 can strengthen defensive barriers.
Certain chronic diseases also have roots in dysfunctional immune activity. LL-37 may help here as well by balancing overzealous inflammation and inhibiting autoimmune processes. Conditions like IBD, eczema, MS and Hashimoto’s may improve.
Like the related peptides CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin, Sermorelin stimulates natural growth hormone production. This offers a broad range of anti-aging, rejuvenation and healing benefits:
By restoring youthful growth hormone levels, Sermorelin helps cells repair oxidative damage, remove waste and regenerate - combating multiple aspects of aging for better health and longevity.
Thymosin Beta 4 is an exceptional peptide for repairing damaged tissue and regenerating healthy new cells. It works by activating injury-site progenitor cells to differentiate into the specific cell types needed to fix localized damage.
This powerfully accelerates recovery from wounds, burns, skin conditions and eye injuries. Internal benefits may include faster healing of heart, neurological and organ tissue. Athletes also use TB-4 to quickly bounce back from sports injuries.
Restoring youthful TB-4 levels is like turning back your body’s regenerative clock years or even decades as robust tissue repair has substantial anti-aging effects and supports longevity
There is no universal peptide stack appropriate for everyone. An integrated evaluation of medical history, lab testing, genetics, symptoms and health objectives is required to design custom therapies yield optimal results.
Assessments that help guide personalized peptide plans may include:
Peptide therapy utilizes peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, to promote healing, cell regeneration and overall wellness. The amino acid sequences can be rearranged to create peptides that mimic natural hormones and stimulate the production of anti-inflammatory proteins, antibodies, neurotransmitters, or growth factors within the body. This targeted approach can accelerate recovery for issues like injuries, diabetes, skin aging, gastrointestinal conditions, or heart disease, often with fewer side effects than traditional pharmaceutical options.
Once a comprehensive health evaluation has been performed, customized peptide combinations, dosages and injection schedules can be designed to target each patient's most pressing health objectives.
Some examples of tailored peptide protocols:
Dosages and injection frequency will be dictated by specific peptides being used, patient age/size/condition, overall health goals and individual response to initial treatments. Common starting dosages may range from 100mcg - 500mcg per injection, 1-5X weekly.
Duration of peptide therapy depends heavily on underlying causes of hormone/peptide deficiencies being addressed and what health objectives are being targeted. Those with traumatic injuries may only require a couple months of treatment whereas anti-aging or disease modifying therapies would necessitate longer duration of care. Generally, 3-6 month regimens are implemented, with periodic lab testing guiding adjustments.
Peptide therapy offers powerful healing and rejuvenation benefits, but works best alongside an optimized lifestyle foundation for magnified results:
Few magical solutions in medicine exist standalone. Peptides offer profoundly effective biologic therapy, and coupling treatments with lifestyle optimization propels transformational healing. Our clinic guides patients through both facets of recovery and rejuvenation.
Peptides used for medical purposes like aging prevention or inflammation reduction have excellent safety profiles with minimal side effects being very rare when administered properly. However, a small subset have significant potential for abuse in athletic communities due to muscle building and performance enhancing effects. We DO NOT condone this non-medical use - only therapeutic administration under medical supervision at proper doses.
Peptide therapy in clinical practice is still in early phases with the diverse therapeutic benefits only recently being realized. Exciting future applications being explored include organ regeneration, Parkinson’s symptom relief, MS remission, stroke recovery, radiation exposure treatment and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease. The future is very promising as peptide therapies expand.
