Peptide Therapy

Our peptide conversations focus on weight loss and muscle, joint and collagen repair. Discuss the evidence, risks and whether an option fits your goals with a provider.

Peptides we use

Peptide therapy, discussed with care.

Weight loss and muscle, joint and collagen repair are the most common peptide priorities we discuss. We use many of the peptides below, and there are more that we prescribe. Some are carried in office; our 503A/503B compounding-pharmacy partner can ship prescribed products directly to the patient with injection supplies.

Talk with your provider about clinical evidence, potential risks, and alternatives.

BPC-157

BPC-157 has been shown to accelerate healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and bones. Can be given orally also to assist in gut healing.

Branch chain amino acid normally found in stomach acid. Has been found to be helpful for gut healing and tissue repair as well as bone and joint repair. Enhances collagen synthesis, promotes angiogenesis (blood flow), suppresses inflammatory cytokines.

TB-500

Also accelerates tissue repair, wound healing, angiogenesis, anti-inflammatory, assists muscle healing; some cardiac protection has been noted in research.

Similar to BPC-157 but with systemic tissue repair.

GHK-Cu (copper peptides)

Boosts collagen and elastin, reduces fine lines, improves skin firmness, enhances wound healing, provides antioxidant protection, and may also support hair growth by increasing blood flow and follicle health; decrease in inflammation noted.

Copper-bound tripeptide with glycine, histidine, and lysine that improves collagen synthesis, wound healing, and skin regeneration. Improves circulation through new blood vessel formation, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects through copper reactions.

KPV

Suppresses inflammatory cytokines that cause increased inflammation, reduces histamine release and allergic responses, supports healthy T-cell function, promotes immune balance by reducing bacterial toxins without immunosuppression. Shown to be helpful with gut healing, tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and faster wound healing.

Ipamorelin

Great for lean muscle mass support, fat burning, muscle recovery, enhanced tissue repair.

Tirzepatide (GLP-1 weight loss)

We use mostly tirzepatide for GLP weight loss; also great at inflammation reduction, assists glucose stabilization and lipid normalization.

Sermorelin

Great for sleep support, muscle growth, brain support.
