Peptide Therapy

Peptide therapy is quickly becoming a ‘must-have therapy’ for men and women of all ages and lifestyles. Peptides are naturally occurring amino acids that help to correct hormone imbalances; increase energy, cognition and mental focus; enhance sex drive; improve bone density, skin elasticity, muscle tone and stamina; lower body fat and cholesterol levels; decrease wrinkles; reduce inflammation, decrease joint and muscle pain, repair tissues and so much more!

Peptide therapy is also used to optimize the production and secretion of growth hormone levels, which rapidly decline as we age. Growth hormone levels affect age management, pain management, weight management, general wellness and also help to manage symptoms of chronic illness.

How long will I use Peptide Therapy?

Peptide therapies usually have a “loading” period of 3-6 months before full effects and maximum benefit are noticed. In fact, unlike synthetic growth hormone that has negative side effects of long term use, peptides are natural and can be used indefinitely for maximum health benefit and little to no side-effects.

How are peptides administered?

Most peptides come in an injectable form. The pharmacy will ship you all supplies you will need and instructions. Using a tiny insulin syringe, you will give yourself a subcutaneous injection daily or 5 days a week. There is an oral peptide for those who do not want to do an injection, however, different peptides have different benefits. Our provider will discuss options with you during your consultation.

Our medical providers will help you select the best peptide!

BPC 157 – BPC stands for “Body Protecting Compound” and can be prescribed to help repair damage caused by inflammation; promote gut healing; accelerate wound healing and help strengthen and heal tendons, ligaments and bones; and reduce pain from muscle sprains, tears and other tissue damage such as skin burns

•Improves joint health

•Mends muscles & tendons

•Accelerates bone healing

•Protects against internal & gut damage

MK-677 (IBUTAMOREN) – this oral peptide stimulates the pituitary gland to release the body’s own stored growth hormone reserves. As a result, the body repairs and rejuvenates itself over time, which slows down the aging process and helps to increase energy, metabolism, lean muscles mass and decrease body fat

•Increased lean muscle mass & strength

•Improves sleep & promotes muscle recovery

•Decreased body fat

IGF-1 LR3 – also known as Long R3 IGF-1, or insulin like growth factor, is a compound that

plays a very important role in a wide range of cellular functions including normal growth and health maintenance. IGF-1 LR3 maintains muscle, connective tissues, brain and heart cells so it is widely used in anti-aging and athletic training protocols.

•Increased lean muscle mass & strength

•Promotes muscle recovery

•Decreased body fat

IPAMORELIN – is a pentapeptide, meaning that it is composed of five amino acids, that mimics the body’s natural growth hormone release. Ipamorelin is one of the safest, most effective forms of growth hormone restoration, widely used to support age management, disease management, sports performance and GH deficiency treatment protocols.

•Increased lean muscle mass & strength

•Decreased body fat

•Promotes muscle recovery

What are Peptides?

Peptides occur naturally in the body and are present in every living cell. Like proteins, peptides are composed of amino acids and created when two or more amino acids are joined together.

There are 20 different amino acids in the human body and mixing different combinations is what creates the various peptides and proteins in the body. All peptides will have some effect on the cells of the body. Different types of peptides influence different types of cells. Peptide therapies help the body fight certain illnesses and diseases.

Growth hormone (GH) is a protein that is made by the pituitary gland and secreted into the bloodstream. In general, natural GH production rises during childhood, peaks during puberty, and declines from middle age onward. In children and adolescents, GH stimulates the growth of bone and cartilage. In people of all ages, GH boosts protein production, promotes the utilization of fat, interferes with the action of insulin, and raises blood sugar levels. GH also raises levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).

Through the aging process, it’s common for people to experience progressive health declines in areas of strength, aerobic capacity and energy among others. Growth hormone (GH) secretion

also declines progressively with age, and many age-related changes are similar in many ways to those signs and symptoms found in younger adults with GH deficiency (AGHD).

When natural GH production declines, GH replacement can be used to restore optimal concentrations to achieve and sustain a more youthful anatomy and physiology.

But taking synthetic GH long term has potential side effects and health risks including:

•tachyphylaxis (reduced response and subsequent rejection)

•diminished natural capacity for hormone production

•swelling due to fluid in the body’s tissues

•nerve, muscle and joint pain

Therefore, optimizing the production and secretion of GH through the use of GH releasing hormones (GHRH) or other GH secretagogues (GHS) can be a great addition to any fitness regimen or wellness program. GHRH and GHS are not only safe and less expensive than synthetic GH, there are no side effects or health risks.

Replacement of GH by stimulation of GH secretion with GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) or other
