Peptide Therapy

The term "peptide" comes from the Greek word "to digest". Peptides are naturally occurring small chains of amino acids which are the building blocks of protein. They exist in the human body naturally and play critical roles in many biological processes like tissue repair, and hormone regulation. Peptide therapies date as far back as the early 20th century and by the 21st century the development of synthetic peptides expanded to address areas like metabolic health, tissue repair, weight loss and longevity.

GLP-1

GLP-1 medications like tirzepatide the key ingredient in Mounjaro/Zepbound or semaglutide the key ingredient in Ozempic/Wegovy are very effective in their ability to control food noise and hunger and can provide substantial weight loss when combined with proper lifestyle modification.

NAD+

NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It plays a critical role in energy production, metabolism, and fat burning. Levels naturally decline with age, stress and poor lifestyle habits. Supplementing NAD helps you not only to feel more energized but helps your body to perform better at every level. This is one of the most powerful tools for sustainable weight loss and metabolic health.

CJC-1295

CJC-1295 is most effective for age 40+. This peptide can increase lean muscle mass and strength and improve athletic performance in particular for patients on GLP-1 medications. CJC-1295 will assist in recovery providing less soreness and pain following workouts due to its potential for enhanced muscle recovery. Body composition changes with more fat loss, more muscle gain, better bone density and skin elasticity.

Sermorelin

Sermorelin benefits stem from stimulating the body's own growth hormone (GH) release, leading to improved energy, deeper sleep, enhanced muscle mass, reduced fat (especially belly fat), faster recovery, stronger immunity, and better skin/hair health, often used for anti-aging, and fitness.
