What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptide therapy uses precisely selected chains of amino acids—peptides—that act as signaling messengers in the body. These formulations help optimize cellular communication to support healing, regeneration, hormone balance, cognition, immune function, and overall wellness.
What Is It For?
It’s designed to promote recovery, reduce inflammation, enhance energy, support brain health, bolster immunity, and rejuvenate skin and connective tissue.
Benefits of Peptide Therapy
- Targeted, data-driven protocols personalized to your health goals
- Minimal side effects with high therapeutic potential
- Supports holistic healing, not just symptom relief
- Synergistic effects when combined with peptides and hormone balancing
Our Peptide Offerings
We use clinically supported peptides sourced from Annular, each selected for its unique healing function:
BPC‑157 (Body Protective Compound‑157)
A 15‑amino acid peptide that accelerates tissue healing, promotes angiogenesis, supports gut integrity, reduces inflammation, and may enhance joint, cardiovascular, and immune health.
TB‑4 (Thymosin Beta‑4 fragment)
Enhances cellular migration, tissue remodeling, and angiogenesis to support recovery and reduce inflammation—especially when paired with BPC‑157 .
Methylene Blue
A well-established compound in energy and cognitive support, historically used for cellular respiration enhancement.
GHK‑Cu
A copper-binding tripeptide that supports collagen synthesis, skin renewal, hair growth, antioxidant activity, and gene modulation for tissue repair.
NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)
A precursor to NAD⁺, promoting cellular energy, mitochondrial health, and metabolic function—often used in anti-aging protocols.
Growth 1295
Often paired with ipamorelin/CJC peptides, it supports growth hormone release to promote recovery, muscle tone, and metabolic balance.
KPV
An anti-inflammatory tripeptide with immune-modulating properties, especially beneficial for gastrointestinal and skin health. Works synergistically with BPC‑157.
Dihexa
A potent neuro-enhancing peptide shown to support memory, learning, and synaptic plasticity for cognitive vitality.
