Peptide therapy involves the injection of short chain amino acid sequences called peptides to help regulate and support various processes in the body. Peptides can play an important role in anti-aging, muscle building, fat loss, injury recovery, and overall health optimization. There has been growing research showing promising benefits of select peptide compounds.
At our peptide clinic Second Spring Hormone Clinic in Houghton, we offer customized peptide injections and hormone optimization plans to help our clients look and feel their best. Our experienced practitioners stay up to date on the latest advancements in the field to provide science-based, safe solutions.
In this guide, we will provide an overview of some of the most common peptide types we use and how they can be applied in a therapeutic setting.
Growth hormone (GH) is an important hormone involved in growth, metabolism, muscle building and fat burning. GH levels steadily decline as we age, leading to negative impacts on body composition and energy levels. GH peptides provide a way to stimulate your own natural growth hormone production without injections of synthetic growth hormones.
Some of the most popular GH peptides we offer include:
Ipamorelin is considered one of the safest GRH peptides available. Benefits can include:
With no negative side effects on other hormone axes, ipamorelin is a great choice for boosting growth hormone.
CJC-1295 is a growth hormone releasing hormone that can stimulate GH production for an extended period of time. CJC-1295 can provide benefits such as:
Together, CJC-1295 and ipamorelin create strong pulse releases of natural growth hormone production.
Sermorelin stimulates your pituitary gland to increase and maintain your body’s own human growth hormone production. This can help provide anti-aging benefits such as:
Sermorelin helps create natural GH production rather than injections of synthetic human growth hormone.
For those looking to improve exercise performance, build strength and enhance muscle growth, we offer fitness-focused peptides.
Follistatin is gaining popularity as a myostatin inhibitor. Myostatin is a protein that inhibits muscle growth and recovery. As a myostatin-inhibiting peptide, follistatin helps promote increased protein synthesis, muscle hypertrophy (growth) and faster recovery between workouts.
TB500 promotes cell migration and differentiation - key aspects of repair and growth. It speeds up wound healing, reduces inflammation and supports new blood vessel development. For athletes and bodybuilders, TB500 can help improve muscle gains, endurance and recovery.
Obesity has become a growing epidemic. For those struggling to lose stubborn fat through diet and exercise alone, we offer beneficial peptides to help target visceral fat and enhance weight loss.
As mentioned, a growth hormone releasing hormone peptide, CJC-1295 not only helps build lean body mass but also stimulates lipolysis - the breakdown of fat. CJC-1295 provides a way to enhance fat burning without negatively impacting muscle tissue.
Some research has shown Thymosin Alpha-1 can help reduce body fat mass, increase lean mass and body composition. As an immune system modulator, it can also improve immune cell counts.
AOD9604 is a modified fragment of growth hormone. Studies show AOD9604 can help reduce fat mass, particularly stubborn belly and trunk fat. As a lipolytic, AOD9604 helps enhance fat metabolism without impacts on growth stimulation.
Together with peptides like ipamorelin, stacked fat loss peptide protocols can provide an effective option for weight management.
Certain peptides like BPC-157 have shown promise in rat studies for healing leaky gut, reducing inflammation, and even regenerating damaged tendons, though more research is still needed to fully understand their mechanisms and potential in humans.
A common goal for many seeking peptide therapy is slowing down aging or maintaining youth and vitality longer. We offer a selection of anti-aging focused peptides.
As mentioned previously, beyond its tissue repair properties, Thymosin Beta 4 has shown promising anti-aging activity by supporting new blood vessel development and vascularization. Better circulation can nourish cells and enhance waste removal.
A tetrapeptide, Epithalon has demonstrated remarkable results in studies related to aging factors. It can help regulate and restore various hormones involved with slowing down aging processes. Benefits include better thyroid regulation, melatonin levels, cortisol modulation and antioxidative properties.
Studies have shown GHK-Cu supports DNA repair, helps normalize collagen and elastin production and also has anti-inflammatory effects. It can improve skin quality, wound healing, hair growth and may have positive cognitive impacts.
The peptide options highlighted are some of the more common ones used in integrative medical settings. However, new peptide compounds and treatment combinations continue to emerge as ongoing research unlocks new therapeutic potential.
Other peptide therapy options we offer can assist with needs such as sexual health, injury recovery, gut health and immune support. Our experienced practitioners stay up to date on additional peptides that may help provide solutions tailored to your needs.
We also combine peptide injections with additional supplements, bioidentical hormones and lifestyle advice for more comprehensive anti-aging programs.
