Peptide Therapy

What are peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that function as the building blocks to forming proteins. Commonly known peptides include collagen and creatine, however, there are over 7,000 peptides naturally occuring the human body that help regulate a wide range of biological functions and processes providing many therapeutic benefits.

Over 150 of these peptides are currently available and offer a variety of health benefits including: anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, weight loss, muscle building, tendon repair, gut health, wound healing, sexual function, and enhanced
pigmentation.

Here at Inspire Health Clinics in South Jordan, Utah, we incorporate peptide therapy in our treatment plans to help optimize health, reduce signs of aging, speed recovery, boost energy and assist with weight loss.

What is Peptide Therapy?

Peptide therapy is a medical treatment that uses specific groups of amino acids to stimulate specific cellular responses in the body. One of the primary benefits of peptide therapy is its ability to target specific cellular pathways, making it a highly targeted and precise form of treatment.

This specificity reduces the risk of adverse side effects and enhances the
effectiveness of the treatment.

Peptides can be administered in a variety of methods including injections, creams, capsules and troches (dissolvable tablets), however injections are the preferred treatment as it offers the highest bioavailability, thereby enhancing overall absorption, effectiveness and patient response. Troches are the second best treatment option as they are absorbed quickly and efficiently under the tongue, directly into the capillary bed, bypassing the digestive system.

Is Peptide Therapy Safe?

Peptide therapy is generally considered safe when used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare practitioner.

Peptides are naturally occurring molecules in the body and are generally well-tolerated, but like any medical treatment, there may be some risks and side effects.

Common side effects of peptide therapy may include injection site reactions, such as redness, swelling or pain. Other potential side effects may include headaches, nausea, or fatigue. However, these side effects are generally mild and resolve on their own.

It is important to note that peptide therapy is not appropriate for everyone.

People with certain medical conditions or who are taking certain medications may not be suitable candidates for peptide therapy. It’s important to discuss your medical history and current medications with one of our providers prior to starting peptide therapy.

What conditions can peptide therapy be used to treat?

  • Weight Loss
  • Inflammation
  • Insomnia
  • Joint or tendon injury
  • Fatigue

Peptides We Offer

IPAMORELIN/SERMORELIN

These peptides are often used to help reduce signs of aging and are a great addition to any fitness regimen or wellness program.

Ipamorelin and Sermorelin are both peptides that stimulate the release of human growth hormone (HGH). GH is naturally prevalent during childhood, peaks during puberty and then begins to decline in middle age and onward.

Throughout the aging process, this natural decline in GH results in decreased strength, endurance, energy, immune function and more.

These peptides are often used to help reduce signs of aging and are a great addition to any fitness regimen or wellness program.

Benefits of Ipamorelin/Sermorelin include:

  • ● Increase in lean body mass and strength
    ● Increased energy, sleep quality and overall mood
    ● Improved immune function
    ● Increased collagen production

Ipamorelin/CJC 1295

Amino acids and can help promote growth and fat loss simultaneously.

Ipamorelin and CJC 1295 help stimulate the release of human growth hormone (HGH). They are both highly selective in function and can offer numerous benefits. CJC 1295 consists of 30 amino acids and can help promote growth and fat loss simultaneously. When combined together, Ipamorelin and CJC 1295 provide better and lasting effects.

Benefits of this combination include:
● Improved lean body mass
● Enhanced muscle growth and development
● Decreased insulin resistance and overall improved metabolic function
● Improved bowel motility and gastric function

BPC-157

Helps alleviate joint pain, improve joint mobility, boost recovery from injuries and can even speed recovery from skin burns.

BPC-157 is composed of 15 amino acids that enhance cellular repair and promote tissue regeneration. It is commonly used to accelerate healing of many different wounds, including tendons, muscles, nervous system and damaged ligaments.

BPC 157 helps alleviate joint pain, improve joint mobility, boost recovery from injuries and can even speed recovery from skin burns.

AOD-9604

Comprised of 15 different amino acids, AOD-9604 helps boost metabolism and enhance weight loss.

AOD-9604 is considered an advanced obesity drug. Comprised of 15 different amino acids, AOD-9604 helps boost metabolism and enhance weight loss.

Benefits of AOD-9604 include:

  • Promotes the breakdown of fat cells without affecting glucose levels or tissue growth
  • Prevents fat accumulation
  • Boosts metabolism
  • Reduces appetite
  • Also helps promote bone and cartilage repair

Our providers will evaluate your medical history, perform any necessary tests, and discuss your treatment goals with you to determine whether peptide therapy is an appropriate treatment option.

What are common side effects of peptide therapy?

While peptide therapy is generally considered safe, there are some potential side effects that should be considered. These can include local irritation at the injection site, headaches, and gastrointestinal upset. In rare cases, allergic reactions can occur, so it is important to discuss any potential risks with a healthcare provider before starting peptide therapy.

How much does Peptide Therapy cost?

Peptide Therapy is not covered by standard health insurance plans. Pricing for peptide therapy will depend upon the specific peptide therapy utilized and the route of administration (injection, capsule, troche, cream). Your provider will discuss pricing details with you in detail prior to initiating Peptide Therapy treatment. We also offer membership programs that include special member pricing for Peptide Therapy.
