Decrease inflammation, help with healing, and more...
Peptide therapy is a cutting-edge medical approach that utilizes short chains of amino acids called peptides to target specific cellular functions and promote overall health and wellness. These bioactive peptides can be naturally occurring or synthetic and are administered through injections or oral supplements.
The benefits of peptide therapy are diverse and include enhanced muscle growth and recovery, improved skin elasticity, reduced inflammation, and increased energy levels. Additionally, peptides can support the body’s natural processes, such as regulating hormones, boosting immune function, and aiding in weight management. This innovative therapy holds promise for a wide range of medical conditions and is at the forefront of personalized and regenerative medicine.
This is a combination of two different peptides that work cohesively in promoting an increased release of HGH (hormone growth hormone) in the body. CJC is a growth hormone that stimulates the pituitary gland in the brain. Ipamorelin mimics ghrelin and binds to the ghrelin receptor in the pituitary gland. Together, these two peptides create phenomenal results for the human body, and they create a safe and therapeutic anti-aging benefit.
CJC 1295 is best taken at night, on an empty stomach. The peptide is taken in a cycle of 5 days on and 2 days off. Most clients prefer to take the peptide Monday through Friday, and they take Saturday and Sunday off. CJC 1295 can be taken in cycles of 4 to 5 months.
Benefits of CJC 1295/Ipamorelin:
- Strengthens the cardiovascular system
- Increased muscle mass
- improves sleep quality by improving REM sleep
- Increased bone density
- Increases resting metabolic rate
- Increased metabolism
- Improved recovery and repair of the muscles
- Strengthens the immune system
- improves insulin sensitivity
- improves cognition and memory.
Ibutamoren Mesylate or MK 677 is a growth hormone that mimics ghrelin’s stimulation. Ghrelin is a hunger hormone that is typically associated with a person’s circadian rhythm. Ibutamoren has been shown to increase the release of growth hormones and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Most clients will see an improvement in their lean body mass while naturally lowering the body’s LDL cholesterol. As a person ages, the body will naturally decrease the ability to produce growth hormones. Studies have shown that human growth hormones typically decline about 15% to 20% every 10 years. Peptide therapy is essential in restoring and increasing the body’s ability to secrete growth hormones for improved health and wellness.
Ibutamoren Mesylate has been vital in improving osteoporosis and frailty in the elderly population. Studies have demonstrated that Ibutamoren stimulates the brain regions involved with metabolic action like the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. When combined with adequate testosterone levels, the benefits of ibutamoren mesylate increase substantially.
Best taken daily at bedtime. Can be taken in cycles of 3 to 4 months.
Benefits of Ibutamoren Mesylate (MK 677):
- Increased body mass
- Decreased body fat
- Decreased bad cholesterol
- improved sleep
- Improved protein synthesis
- Improved mineralization of bone density
- Increased cellular production and repair
- improved immune system
- Improved collagen production
- Strengthens the cardiovascular system
Kisspeptin is a great alternative solution for men wanting to increase their testosterone more naturally and without a synthetic approach. Kisspeptin is a naturally produced peptide that is generated to regulate hormone signaling by triggering the release of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH). GnRH is produced and released by the hypothalamus in the brain. The hormone is released into tiny blood cells where the compound stimulates the pituitary gland. Once the compound stimulates the pituitary gland the peptide will influence 2 critical hormones to reproductive health: Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH).
Benefits of Kisspeptin:
- Increased testosterone
- Increases sex drive and mood
- infertility treatment
- Promotes enhanced blood flow
- regulates kidney function.
BPC 157 is a peptide that consists of 15 amino acids and possesses GI protective properties, including alleviation from ulcers, bowel issues, or Chron’s disease. BPC is a protein that is naturally found in the human digestive tract and over time our system will become depleted of this property. This peptide is widely used as a healing agent for muscles, tendons, the central nervous system, inflammation, wound healing, and damaged tissues. Individuals may add this peptide to their routine for athletic benefits to assist with increased muscle recovery, subcutaneous fat loss, and increasing muscle hypertrophy and strength.
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide that has garnered attention for its potential therapeutic properties. It is derived from a naturally occurring peptide found in gastric juice. BPC-157 has demonstrated several beneficial effects including promoting tissue healing and regeneration, reducing inflammation, and enhancing blood vessel formation. It is often used in sports medicine and orthopedics to accelerate recovery from injuries, such as tendon and muscle damage. While research on BPC-157 continues, it shows promise as a peptide therapy for a variety of conditions, although more clinical studies are needed to fully understand its mechanisms and efficacy in humans.
Take 1 to 2 capsules per day – either in the AM or PM.
Benefits of BPC 157:
- Muscle recovery
- Pain reduction
- Reduction in fat mass
- Anti-aging benefits
- Wound and tissue healing
- Improved gut health
- Improved healing of the muscles and tendons
- Reduction in inflammatory markers
TB-500, or Thymosin Beta-4, is a synthetic peptide derived from a naturally occurring protein found in most human tissues. This peptide has gained attention for its potential regenerative and healing properties. TB-500 is known for its ability to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the growth of new blood vessels. It has been studied for its potential in treating injuries such as muscle strains, ligament sprains, and even wound healing. Some athletes and individuals seeking faster recovery have turned to TB-500, although its use remains somewhat controversial and subject to regulatory scrutiny.
Benefits of TB 500:
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Strengthened immune system
- Faster recovery from wounds
- Quicker healing of crippling injuries

Frequently Asked Questions About Peptide Therapy
Peptide therapy is an innovative medical technique that employs short-chain amino acids known as peptides to address specific cellular activities and enhance general health and well-being. These bioactive peptides, which can occur naturally, are delivered through injections or oral supplementation.
Peptides act like messengers, sending signals to your cells to do specific things. Some peptides can tell your body to heal faster, reduce pain, boost your immune system, or increase hormone production. Each peptide has a unique job based on its structure. For example, TB 500 can reduce joint pain and defer a potential knee replacement.
