Revitalize Your Health With Peptide Therapy

What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks for proteins in the body. These biologically active compounds are critical to various bodily functions, including hormone production, inflammation regulation, cell reproduction, and tissue repair.

Our bodies naturally produce short chain amino acids, but their production can decrease due to aging, stress, and illness. Peptide therapy introduces external peptides into the body to supplement natural production and support overall health and wellness.

How Does Peptide Therapy Work?

The process of receiving peptide therapy is relatively straightforward. We will first conduct a thorough medical consultation to determine the best course of treatment for each patient’s unique needs.

Peptides can be administered in various ways: subcutaneous injection, transdermal cream, nasal spray, or lozenges. We will choose the most appropriate delivery route to maximize the therapeutic benefits of the peptide treatment depending on the peptides used and the condition being treated.

Who Can Benefit From Peptide Therapy?

If you are searching for a holistic, targeted approach to your overall health and well-being, peptide therapy might be for you. 

You may find this therapy beneficial if you want to:

• Improve lean muscle mass, bone health, and insulin sensitivity
• Boost metabolism and lose weight
• Increase energy levels
• Improve sexual dysfunction or low libido
• Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
• Boost immune function

Types of Peptide Therapy Available at Pure Body Health

We offer a broad selection of peptides to meet the various needs of our patients. Our peptide therapies are derived from superior sources, ensuring the highest quality and effectiveness. 

Some of the most popular peptides used in our practice include: BPC-157, PT-141, Semaglutide, Thymulin, Sermorelin, Ipamorelin, AOD 9604, and Selank. For a full list of peptides that we offer, call (480) 427-0442 to schedule a free consultation.

BPC-157

BPC-157, also known as Body Protective Compound, is a peptide recognized for its potent healing and regenerative properties. It is naturally produced in the stomach and has an exceptional ability to heal various types of tissues, including the gut lining.

BPC-157 has many therapeutic effects:

• Gut health improvement: It helps to restore the health and function of the entire gastrointestinal tract, reducing symptoms associated with conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and leaky gut syndrome.
• Muscle and tissue repair: The peptide has shown impressive results in accelerating the healing of sprains, tears, and other muscle and soft tissue injuries.
• Anti-inflammatory effects: BPC-157 exerts potent anti-inflammatory activity, which can benefit individuals suffering from chronic inflammatory conditions.
• Nerve repair: The peptide can also stimulate nerve regeneration and repair, making it a potential therapy for peripheral nerve injuries.
• Joint healing: For individuals suffering from joint damage or arthritis, BPC-157 may aid recovery by promoting the healing of tendons, ligaments, and joints.
• Mitigates damage from NSAIDs: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause serious harm to the stomach lining. BPC-157 helps to reduce this damage and promotes healing.
• Mood Regulation: Some research suggests BPC-157 may also potentially regulate mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.

PT-141

PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a peptide primarily used for treating sexual dysfunction in both men and women. Unlike other treatments, PT-141 does not act upon the vascular system but directly increases sexual health via the nervous system.

PT-141 offers benefits such as:

• Increased libido and sex drive
• Improved arousal response
• Enhanced sexual satisfaction
• Boosted confidence

Semaglutide

Semaglutide mimics a hormone in the body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 targets the part of the brain that controls appetite and food intake. By doing so, Semaglutide makes you feel fuller, reduces hunger, and thus, decreases your caloric intake. 

This effective reduction in appetite and food cravings often leads to substantial weight loss. Semaglutide mainly benefits those who have struggled with traditional weight loss methods and are seeking a more effective and sustainable solution.

Some of the advantages of Semaglutide include:

• Improved appetite control and food cravings
• Increased metabolic rate
• Reduced body fat mass
• Enhanced mood and energy levels
• Fewer side effects than other weight loss medications
• Long-term weight management

Thymulin

Thymulin is a peptide known for its profound impact on immune system function and anti-inflammatory properties. Named after the thymus gland, where it is produced, it plays a vital role in the maturation of T-cells, a type of white blood cell crucial for immune response. In addition, Thymulin is an anti-inflammatory agent that helps regulate the body’s inflammation response and alleviate symptoms in chronic inflammation conditions.

Sermorelin

Sermorelin is a peptide that stimulates the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Known for its potential to improve lean body mass and insulin sensitivity and exert anti-aging effects, Sermorelin offers a multifaceted approach to health improvement.

Sermorelin can improve health in many ways, including:

• Improve lean body mass
• Increase muscle regeneration and strength
• Improve energy levels
• Improve cardiovascular health
• Increase skin elasticity and bone density
• Anti-aging effects
• Enhance cognitive function

Ipamorelin

Ipamorelin stimulates the pituitary gland to release human growth hormone, a crucial factor in muscle development and recovery. Unlike other growth hormone-releasing peptides, Ipamorelin triggers the release of growth hormone without significantly affecting other hormones.

Taking Ipamorelin can have many health benefits, including:

• Improve muscle growth and regeneration
• Increase bone density
• Enhance cognitive function
• Improve sleep quality
• Reduce inflammation and neuropathic pain
• Weight loss, increased fat burning, and improved body composition
• Strengthened immune system
• Optimized GI system function

AOD 9604

AOD 9604 peptide, or Advanced Obesity Drug, is a uniquely formulated peptide that aids in weight loss. It operates by stimulating the body’s fat metabolism without affecting blood sugar levels or creating growth effects, distinguishing it from other weight-loss peptides. 

This highly targeted approach enables AOD 9604 to effectively promote the breakdown of fat and inhibit its accumulation, leading to weight loss. It is an ideal option for individuals who struggle with weight control or obesity, providing them with a safe and efficient method to achieve their weight loss goals.

Selank

Selank is a peptide for anxiety. It works by increasing levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which helps regulate mood and energy levels. Selank may also aid in cognitive enhancement because it increases endorphins and other beneficial brain chemicals. 
Studies have shown it has anxiolytic effects that can reduce feelings of fear and distress while allowing for clear and relaxed thinking. Selank’s fast-acting properties make it an excellent option for patients looking to improve their mental state without harsh pharmaceuticals. It also has minimal side effects, making it an attractive alternative to conventional anxiety treatments.
