PEPTIDES

The new (old) frontier in anti-aging and longevity medicine. Jumpstart your journey toward long-term health optimization by using peptides to get your body to work for you!

Peptides...
jumpstart your body to begin healing itself.

Peptides are natural signaling agents made up of short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Peptides help your body utilize its own natural healing abilities as a path to optimal health.

Peptides...
are not new, have been tested, are safe and effective.

Peptide therapy has been around since the 1920s, has a very high safety profile, and many have been FDA-approved for use. Our bodies naturally produce peptides, therefore they are generally well-tolerated with minimal side-effects. 

Peptides...
have anti-aging and regenerative benefits.

Peptide therapy has proven potential as an effective modality in anti-aging and regenerative medicine and can help change the lives of those seeking longevity, improved health, and general well-being. 

Peptides...
are available to treat multiple conditions.

Peptides can...

...reduce pain, help the body heal the gut, repair soft tissue and muscle, and restore collagen (connective tissue and skin).

...assist with weight loss & post-workout recovery, increase lean body mass, and help build muscle.

...boost the immune system, improve memory and focus, and promote restorative sleep.

...improve erectile dysfunction and libido/sexual response in both men and women. 

Peptide Therapies

Peptide "stacks" are a combination of peptides used together to treat a specific health issue, boost immune function, help achieve specific training or weight loss goals, or for general preventative health measures.
Stacks are "built" by the provider specifically for you based on your current and future health goals. Some of the more popular peptides we offer are listed below. Many others not listed are available for treatment personalization. Most peptides should be cycled to prevent desensitization.

Peptide therapy requires a provider prescription and periodic appointments for monitoring. Some peptide therapy plans may require intermittent blood work. 

Sermorelin

(daily injection)

Sermorelin is the original synthetic growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) secretagogue. It stimulates the manufacture and release of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. The amount of HGH secreted is limited by the presence of somatostatin, thus normal physiologic levels are maintained. Unlike CJC-1295, Sermorelin does not improve (raise) IGF-1 levels. Sermorelin can also increase appetite in some individuals.

Sermorelin may increase bone density, improve skin tone and reduce scaring, fight the effects of dementia and increase cognition, improve sleep, increase energy levels, increase lean muscle mass, reduce cellulite, and promote weight loss.


*not suitable for patients with high blood pressure, elevated cortisol, or a history of cancer.

Semaglutide & Tirzepatide

(weekly injection)

Semaglutide  and Tirzepatide have shown to decrease cardiovascular complications related to diabetes and cardiovascular disease, lower HgA1c levels, improve fertility in PCOS patients, and enhance the growth of β cells in the pancreas.

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide assist with weight loss and a decrease in body fat % by lowering appetite and slowing food digestion in the stomach.

Patients are monitored via monthly office visits and weigh-ins with periodic blood work and physical exams. Monthly cost includes the medication and office visits.  A consultation is required prior to starting to ensure patients are candidates for treatment. Lab tests may also be required prior to starting and periodically during treatment.


Semaglutide is marketed commercially under the brand names Wegovy® and Ozempic®. Tirzepatide is marketed commercially under the brand name Mounjaro®. The compounded peptides are made with the same base ingredients at certified sterile compounding pharmacies.

Pentadeca Arginate (PDA) 

 (oral capsules or daily injection)

PDA is composed of 15 amino acids that are isolated from human gastric juice. Experimentally, PDA has been demonstrated to accelerate the healing of many different wounds, including tendon-to-bone healing and superior healing of damaged ligaments. Also, PDA seems to protect organs and prevent ulcers of the stomach. This peptide is also shown to decrease pain in damaged areas. Those who suffer from discomfort due to muscle sprains, tears, and damage may benefit from treatment with this peptide. It can also help aid skin burns in healing at a faster rate and increase blood flow to damaged tissues.

Commonly used as treatment for non-surgical injuries, enhanced post-surgical healing, chronic skin wounds, extensive burn injuries, IBS, Chron's, gastric ulcers, leaky gut, and abdominal cramping.


Molecularly nearly identical to BPC-157.

TB 500

(injections 2x/week)

The main purpose of TB 500 is to promote healing. It works synergistically with PDA, and the healing effects of TB-500 have been observed in tendons, ligaments, muscles, skin, heart, and eyes.

TB 500 has shown significant regenerative properties. It improves cell migration to the site of injury and aids in soft tissue repair. It may also reduce scar tissue, improve hair growth, cause muscle growth, and increase muscle tone and muscular stamina. TB 500 is the shorter, "healing" portion of the longer chain peptide, Thymosin Beta 4 (TB4).

*Used with caution in individuals with a cancer history due to angiogeneic properties.

NAD+

(injections 2-3x/week)

Nicotinamide adenine nucleotide (NAD+)  is a key regulator of cellular processes that control the body’s response to stress. NAD+ levels fall as we age, leading to a decline in the function of cells and organs.

Increases in NAD+ may:
-promote cognitive and sensory function
-insulin secretion in the pancreas
-protects against cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease
-improves immune function
-reduces inflammation
-protects against acute kidney injury
-promotes/extends fertility in both males and females

SS-31 (Elamipretide)

(daily injection)

SS-31 has been shown to reverse mitochondrial dysfunction by obliterating the damaging inflammatory agents such as free radical oxygen species (ROS). SS-31 is very unique in its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and highly concentrate within the inner membrane of the mitochondria (IMM). Anti-aging research is investigating SS-31 for its ability to reverse mitochondrial dysfunction and premature cell death.

SS-31 shows promise in the treatment of many neurodegenerative and cognitive disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s, Friedreich ataxia, and glaucoma. It is commonly used to help optimize mitochondrial health.

Copper Tripeptide
(GHK-Cu)

 
(injectable/
topical)

Copper peptide GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper complex.

GHK-Cu: 
-improves wound healing and tissue regeneration (skin, hair follicles, bones, stomach, intestinal linings, and liver)
-increases collagen production
-increases angiogenesis and nerve outgrowth
-possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

PT-141

(daily nasal spray or injection prior to sexual activity)

 PT-141 increases sexual desire and arousal via the nervous system instead of via the vascular system (lessening physical side effects such as low blood pressure).

PT-141 improves erectile dysfunction, increases sexual desire, and treats both male & female sexual arousal disorder.

Pinealon

(daily injection for 20 days, repeating the cycle every 4-6 months)

Pinealon is believed to have properties that help protect neurons (nerve cells) in the brain. This can be particularly beneficial in aging individuals, potentially helping to preserve cognitive functions and prevent degenerative diseases like dementia. Some evidence suggests that Pinealon can enhance cognitive functions, such as memory and learning. This makes it a candidate for enhancing mental clarity and treating brain fog.

Pinealon may help regulate sleep patterns by influencing brain activity and neurotransmitter release. This could be beneficial for individuals suffering from sleep disorders such as insomnia.  

Pinealon may exhibit antioxidant effects, helping to combat oxidative stress within the body. By modulating gene expression related to cellular growth and repair, Pinealon can potentially aid in the faster recovery of cells and tissues after injury or illness.


Thymulin

(daily injection)

Thymulin is an essential hormone for T lymphocyte differentiation and the normalization of T-helper cells to suppressor cells. Given its anti-inflammatory potential, Thymulin downregulates the release of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and chemokines, upregulates anti-inflammatory factors, such as interleukin (IL)-10, and exerts molecular control via the regulation of transcription factors and mediators.

Thymulin is used strengthen the immune system as well as modulate the immune system for individuals who suffer from autoimmune disorders or an over-active/hyper-active immune system.

*Individuals taking Thymulin should also be taking Vitamin C 1000mg, Vitamin D 125mcg (5,000IU), and Zinc 25mg daily for best absorption/utilization.
