Peptide therapy involves the use of specific peptide compounds to help regulate and optimize various physiological processes in the body. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in cells. Some key things to know about peptide treatments:
At Hormone Health Center in Mariposa, we provide customized peptide therapy programs to help patients address issues related to aging, obesity, injury recovery, chronic illness and more.
Before starting peptide treatment, a detailed medical evaluation is conducted covering health history, lab testing, and examination of current symptoms and goals. This information guides the customization of a peptide regimen designed to target the individual’s specific needs.
Factors that may indicate peptide therapy could be beneficial include:
If struggling with any of the above, Hormone Health Center can determine if peptide therapy is the right solution.
There is an expanding array of peptide compounds being used for therapeutic purposes. Below is a brief introduction to some of the most common and effective peptides we offer to patients:
BPC-157 is a peptide chain consisting of 15 amino acids. It has been shown in studies to have protective effects in the gut, enhance ulcer and tendon healing, and reduce pain/inflammation. BPC-157 can be taken orally or injected.
Thymosin beta-4 contains 28 amino acids and plays an important role in tissue repair, immunomodulation, and regeneration. Research indicates thymosin beta-4 may help reactivate cardiac progenitor cells and rescue damaged heart tissue after heart attack.
The LL-37 peptide has significant antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. It has been shown to help heal skin, gut lining, and reduce respiratory inflammation.
AOD9604 is a modified fragment of the human growth hormone molecule. Data suggests AOD9604 can help reduce fat mass, particularly in the abdominal area. It is also being studied for effectiveness in repairing cartilage and tendon damage.
Sermorelin stimulates the pituitary gland to release natural growth hormone. This leads to increases in IGF-1 production needed for growth/repair. Sermorelin is used to alleviate poor growth hormone secretion outcomes like loss of bone/muscle mass, weight gain, low energy, and cognitive decline.
Tesamorelin is also a growth hormone releasing peptide used to address growth hormone deficiency. Studies show it can decrease visceral fat in HIV-positive patients with lipodystrophy.
CJC-1295 binds to receptors on pituitary cells to stimulate sustained growth hormone and IGF-1secretion. This enhances protein synthesis needed for cellular growth and healing. CJC-1295 provides support for collagen production, bone density, lean muscle gains, and body fat loss.
This covers just a sample of the high quality peptides we offer patients. The full list is extensive given the ongoing peptide research and development. Our clinic strives to provide access to the latest and most innovative peptides approved for therapeutic use.
Most peptides are administered via simple subcutaneous injection into areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms. Injections are performed with tiny needles to minimize discomfort. The process only takes a few minutes for most patients to complete.
To begin peptide therapy, a nurse teaches proper injection technique and supervises initial dosing. Patients then self-administer injections at home moving forward based on the directed regimen. Theprescription outlines the peptide dosages, injection frequency, rotation sites, and schedule duration.
Injections are well-tolerated with rare side effect occurrences if protocols are carefully followed. There may be temporary redness or tenderness at injection sites that typically resolves quickly.

Peptide compounds have demonstrated exciting potential to address several critical health areas when hormone or protein signaling is not fully optimized, including:
Certain peptides play an integral role in muscle building and performance enhancement by activating key chemical messengers needed for muscle protein synthesis.
For those struggling to add lean muscle through diet and exercise alone, judiciously administered peptides can provide the extra help needed to start packing on strength-promoting muscle mass.
Some of the peptides utilized for muscle building purposes include:
Peptide muscle builders can be combined with customized fitness/nutrition planning to strategically enhance lean muscle accretion goals.
Excessive body fat accumulation, particularly in the abdominal region, poses substantial health risks. Peptides that target critical fat burning mechanisms in the body are growing in popularity for those struggling to shed persistent fat deposits.
Powerful peptide compounds have emerged as appealing alternatives to medications like human growth hormone for fat reduction strategies. Some top peptides for supporting lipolysis and healthy body composition include:
When combined with healthy eating and active lifestyle measures, strategic use of select peptides offers new hope to the many who wrestle with obesity and related consequences.
Peptide bioregulators play a vital role in modulating multi-step tissue healing and regeneration processes. After an injury, certain peptides become critical to establishing the immunological and biochemical conditions for efficient repair of damage to muscles, bones, tendons, cartilage, nerves and skin.
Some peptides well-suited to speeding tissue mending include:
Peptide therapy to support injury healing can get patients back on their feet faster, reducing chances of permanent functional deficits and disabilities after accidents or sports trauma.
A growing subset of peptides called neuroprotective peptides are being extensively studied for their cognitive enhancement and neuroprotective properties. Neurotransmitter peptides are critically involved in key brain processes like memory, learning, motivation, and mental well-being.
For those experiencing mental fogginess, motivation issues, and declines in memory/focus, targeted peptide supplementation may help reactivate youthful brain plasticity and function.
Some of most promising neural peptides showing preliminary mental boosting activities include:
As science unlocks deeper mysteries of neurological peptides, powerful options emerge to decisively support optimal cognitive capacities well into later life stages.
Careful incorporation of neuroactive peptides under medical guidance aids efforts to live younger longer mentally and physically, enjoying peak performance across all spheres of daily life.
While peptide therapy provides powerful molecular signaling tools to address specific health goals, achieving and sustaining maximal benefits long-term requires an integrated approach combining peptide treatments with targeted lifestyle optimization strategies.
Key areas we emphasize patients address alongside peptide protocols include:
Exercise – Inactivity allows muscle loss and fat gain. An exercise plan activating all muscle groups sustains a strong/lean frame.
Nutrition – Poor diet sabotages health. Consuming clean, nutritionally-balanced whole foods nourishes vital processes.
Sleep – Restorative sleep enables rejuvenation while sleep deficits degrade wellness. Prioritizing sleep quality amplifies peptide effectiveness.
Stress Modulation – Unmanaged anxiety/overload stresses physiology. Mind/body relaxation techniques build resilience.
Toxin Avoidance – Reducing exposures to pollutants, chemicals, etc facilitates proper peptide signaling.
