Peptide treatments involve the injection of short chain amino acids that mimic hormones in the body. When administered at regular intervals, peptides can provide remarkable improvements in energy, body composition, sexual function, mood and cognition. The benefits of our injectable peptide protocols include:
Unlike traditional hormone replacement therapy, peptide therapy rarely causes unwanted effects like bloating, acne or mood swings when professionally administered. Our providers carefully adjust dosages based on frequent bloodwork.
Certain peptides promote muscle protein synthesis, enabling patients to gain lean muscle even during calorie restriction. This makes peptides ideal for athletes, bodybuilders and those seeking better body composition.
Some peptides speed tissue repair by reducing inflammation, remodeling collagen and promoting stem cell migration. Using peptides around surgery or after an injury can quicken healing.
Through stimulating collagen production and cellular renewal, specific peptides enhance skin firmness, smooth fine lines and wrinkles and even correct sun damage over time.
Deficiencies in hormones like growth hormone and melatonin often manifest as insomnia and poor sleep. Peptide protocols can optimize these hormones, allowing patients to reach deeper sleep phases.
Peptides that elevate growth hormone and testosterone levels simultaneously can restore libido and sexual function as powerfully as erectile dysfunction drugs. Stamina and duration of performance also improve.
Mental health issues like depression, social anxiety and PTSD often associate with hormone imbalances. Peptides help stabilize mood, boost self-confidence and reduce anxiety by optimizing hormone levels.
Peptides that mimic the hormone leptin provide messages of satiety to the hypothalamus. When used alongside diet and exercise, these peptides promote safe, steady fat loss.
Overall, through targeted mechanisms, peptide therapy alleviates undesirable symptoms of hormonal decline, allowing patients to look and feel their best.
The first step toward successful peptide hormone replacement begins with diagnosing deficiencies through comprehensive bloodwork and analysis at Vitality Balance Clinic. We screen each patient for shortcomings in:
Declining testosterone causes muscle loss, erectile dysfunction, low energy, depression and more. Men over 30 lose testosterone at 1-2% per year. Low testosterone associates strongly with chronic illnesses in men.
Women with low estrogen struggle with hot flashes, vaginal dryness, bladder issues, insomnia and loss of skin elasticity. Too little estrogen increases heart disease and osteoporosis risk in women.
An underactive thyroid slows metabolism, causes weight gain and worsens cholesterol levels. Fatigue, hair loss and memory issues also result.
These precursors get converted to testosterone, estrogen and other vital hormones. Deficiencies relate to arthritis, autoimmune disorders, dementia and migraines.
Growth hormone plummets 14% every decade after age 30. Declining HGH means increased belly fat, muscle loss, thinner skin, reduced exercise capacity and lower immunity.
Disordered sleep and impaired cellular repair result when melatonin secretion wanes. This exacerbates neurodegenerative conditions, anxiety, diabetes and digestive issues.
Through blood analysis, physical evaluation and patient questionnaires, our physicians determine which peptide hormones to dose based on individual shortcomings. We then order pharmaceutical-grade peptides tailored to the patient’s needs.
Upon diagnosis of specific deficiencies, our doctors design personalized peptide treatment plans comprising optimal peptides, dosages, injection sites and frequencies based on factors like lifestyle, health history and treatment goals.
We train each patient on how to properly self-administer injections to maximize adherence. When initiated under medical supervision, peptide therapy proves very safe, with hormones remaining in natural ranges.
Below we describe examples of our most effective peptide protocols.
Sermorelin offers a highly effective means for restoring youthful growth hormone levels. This growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analog boosts natural HGH production by stimulating pituitary gland receptors.
- Higher energy levels - Increased lean muscle mass - Reduced body fat, especially visceral fat - Thicker, fuller skin - Improved immunity - Better cardiovascular health
Sermorelin also elevates IGF-1 levels for additional anti-aging benefits like enhanced exercise capacity. We find sermorelin the best choice for sustaining consistent, natural growth hormone elevations long-term.
Tesamorelin is a growth hormone releasing peptide particularly effective at targeting visceral belly fat. It stimulates receptors in adipose tissues, enabling rapid abdominal fat loss.
- Accelerated loss of dangerous belly fat - Lower triglycerides and blood glucose - Reduced CVD and diabetes risk factors - Increased IGF-1 for fat burning
Clinical research verifies tesamorelin’s unmatched ability to selectively reduce abdominal fat, making it ideal for patients whose chief complaint involves a large or distended midsection.
AOD 9604 is a modified fragment of the growth hormone molecule exhibiting potent lipolytic (fat burning) and anabolic (muscle building) properties while being safe for chronic use. Mechanisms behind AOD 9604’s impressive efficacy include:
- Increasing lipolysis - Preserving lean mass - Reducing inflammatory cytokines - Enhancing insulin sensitivity
In clinical trials, obese subjects supplemented daily with AOD 9604 while following a calorie-controlled diet lost exponentially more visceral fat than diet alone, while gaining muscle mass not typically seen in a calorie deficit. This makes AOD 9604 the perfect peptide to stack with sermorelin or tesamorelin for amplified body recomposition effects.
Bremelanotide (PT-141) represents an exciting treatment for both libido and erectile dysfunction in men and women. This melanocortin peptide agonist works within the hypothalamus to stimulate pathways involved in sexual arousal and response.
- Restores healthy sexual desire - Treats erectile dysfunction - Increases bloodflow for improved arousal - Enhances sensation and pleasure
PT-141 also elevates endogenous testosterone, growth hormone and IGF-1 levels for amplified sexual performance benefits. Phase 2b clinical trials show PT-141 significantly improving erectile function and libido in men regardless of age or baseline testosterone levels.
Thymosin alpha-1 (Tα1) is a powerful thymic peptide clinically proven to enhance immune cell function. Tα1 increases white blood cell, T cell and natural killer cell production while ramping up cell-mediated immunity.
- Heightened resistance to infections - Protection against COVID-19 - Improved response to vaccines - Faster recovery from illness - Reduced inflammation and autoimmunity
Because it stimulates immune cell development, thymosin alpha-1 finds extensive use in cancer therapy, hepatitis treatment, HIV management and preventing illness. Healthy adults can supplement Tα1 before surgery or during peak cold/flu season for fortified immunity.
The above protocols can be combined or rotated as needed for amplified synergistic benefits. Our physicians constantly research cutting-edge peptides to continually expand treatment options.
While peptide injections form the cornerstone of treatment plans, we educate patients on certain lifestyle modifications that amplify results:
- Adopting an exercise regimen - Following an anti-inflammatory diet - Reducing alcohol intake - Quitting smoking - Prioritizing high quality sleep - Practicing stress relief techniques
Because peptide therapy alleviates low energy preventing self-care, patients find implementing these changes far easier upon beginning injections. We also suggest helpful phone apps, local gyms, mindfulness programs and other tools to support lasting behavioral improvements that let patients actualize their full potential.
While often associated with performance enhancement and doping in sports, certain peptides like BPC-157 have shown promise in research as an aid to tendon and ligament healing. Though more evidence is still needed, this indicates peptides could have ethical medical benefits beyond just building muscle or burning fat.
