GHK-Cu
-
GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) is a naturally occurring compound found in the body that plays a vital role in healing, regeneration, and maintaining healthy tissue. Discovered in the 1970s, this small protein fragment has been extensively studied for its powerful ability to stimulate collagen production, repair damaged skin, reduce inflammation, and support overall cellular health.
-
✦ Promote skin rejuvenation and reduce fine lines and wrinkles
✦ Improve wound healing and tissue repair
✦Stimulate hair growth by supporting healthy follicles
✦ Reduce oxidative stress and inflammation
✦ Support overall longevity and healthy aging
-
GHK-Cu should be avoided in patients with Wilson’s disease, & women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
sermorelin
-
Sermorelin is a bioidentical peptide that stimulates your body’s own natural production of growth hormone (GH) through the pituitary gland. Rather than replacing hormones directly, Sermorelin works by signaling the body to restore healthy GH levels naturally — supporting metabolism, energy, and cellular repair.
As we age, growth hormone levels decline, often leading to fatigue, reduced muscle tone, slower recovery, and changes in sleep and skin health. Sermorelin helps reverse some of these effects by encouraging optimal hormone balance and rejuvenation from within.
-
✦Increased energy and vitality
✦Improved sleep quality and recovery
✦Enhanced lean muscle mass and reduced body fat
✦Improved skin tone, elasticity, and collagen production
✦Stronger metabolism and better endurance
✦Support for healthy aging and immune function
✦Enhanced mood, focus, and mental clarity
-
Sermorelin therapy is generally well-tolerated but should be avoided or used with caution in individuals who have:
Active cancer or a history of growth hormone–sensitive tumors
Uncontrolled diabetes
Severe heart, liver, or kidney disease
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Known allergy to Sermorelin or any of its components
As with all peptide therapies, Sermorelin should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider who can monitor hormone levels and adjust treatment for safety and optimal results.
CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin
-
CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin are peptides commonly used together to naturally stimulate the body’s own production of growth hormone (GH). Rather than replacing hormones directly, these peptides signal the pituitary gland to release more GH, which can improve recovery, metabolism, and overall vitality.
CJC-1295: A growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) analog that extends GH release.
Ipamorelin: A growth hormone–releasing peptide (GHRP) that triggers GH secretion with minimal side effects compared to older GHRPs.
When combined, they work synergistically to increase both the amount and the duration of GH release, supporting healthy aging and performance. -
✦ Increased lean muscle mass and strength
✦ Enhanced fat metabolism and body composition
✦Improved energy and endurance
✦Faster recovery from workouts and injuries
✦Better sleep quality and deeper rest
✦Support for skin health, elasticity, and anti-aging
✦Improved bone density
✦Potential cognitive and mood support
-
CJC-1295/Ipamorelin therapy may not be appropriate for everyone. It should be avoided in patients with:
Active cancer or history of certain tumors
Uncontrolled diabetes or severe insulin resistance
Severe heart, liver, or kidney disease
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Known hypersensitivity to peptide formulations
Always consult with our healthcare providers to ensure peptide therapy is safe for you.
NAD+
-
Support your energy, focus, and cellular health with in clinic or convenient at-home NAD+ subcutaneous injections. NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a vital coenzyme involved in energy production, DNA repair, and healthy aging. These quick, minimally invasive injections deliver a steady, sustained dose of NAD+ to help maintain the benefits of IV therapy, enhance mental clarity, boost metabolism, and promote overall vitality. Ideal for ongoing wellness and performance optimization.

✦Enhances mental clarity, focus, and mood
✦Supports healthy aging and longevity
✦Promotes DNA repair and cellular regeneration
✦Improves muscle recovery and physical endurance
✦Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress
✦Supports detoxification and mitochondrial health
Many patients describe NAD⁺ therapy as a way to “recharge” the body at a cellular level — improving both physical and mental performance.
-
NAD⁺ therapy is generally safe and well-tolerated when administered by a trained provider. However, it should be used with caution or avoided in individuals who:
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have active cancer
Have severe liver or kidney disease
Have known hypersensitivity to NAD⁺ or infusion components
BPC-157
-
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a natural protein found in gastric juice. It has been studied for its powerful healing and regenerative properties. Known as a “healing peptide,” it works by promoting blood vessel growth (angiogenesis), reducing inflammation, and accelerating tissue repair. It is commonly used to support recovery from injuries, protect the digestive system, and improve overall resilience.
-
✦ Tissue Healing & Repair
Speeds recovery from muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries
Supports joint health and flexibility
✦ Gut Protection & Healing
May help reduce symptoms of leaky gut, gastritis, and inflammatory bowel conditions
Protects against damage from NSAIDs and other irritants

While generally considered safe in clinical practice, BPC-157 may not be appropriate for everyone. It should be avoided or used with caution in individuals with:
Active or history of cancer (due to its angiogenesis-promoting properties)
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Known hypersensitivity to peptide compounds
Because BPC-157 is still under ongoing research, it should only be used under the guidance of our qualified healthcare providers.
Semaglutide/Trizeptide
-
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are advanced, clinically proven medications designed to support weight loss, metabolic health, and blood sugar balance. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, these therapies have become widely used in wellness and functional medicine for their powerful effects on appetite control, fat reduction, and improved energy levels.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a natural hormone your body produces after eating. It slows digestion, increases fullness, and helps regulate blood sugar.
Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, meaning it acts on two metabolic pathways to further enhance insulin sensitivity and fat metabolism.
Both medications help the body achieve sustainable, healthy weight loss while supporting long-term metabolic function.
Our medical weight loss consultation appointment is needed prior to consideration -
✦ Significant and sustained weight loss
✦ Reduced appetite and fewer cravings
✦ Improved blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity
✦ Enhanced metabolism and energy balance
✦ Lower inflammation and cardiovascular risk markers
✦ Better focus and mental clarity due to stabilized blood sugar
✦ Support for healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels
-
While generally well-tolerated and safe when monitored by a healthcare provider, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide may not be suitable for everyone. These therapies should be avoided or used with caution in individuals who:
Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 (MEN2)
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have severe gastrointestinal disorders, such as gastroparesis
Have a history of pancreatitis
Have a known hypersensitivity to GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 agonists
Mild, temporary side effects such as nausea, bloating, or decreased appetite are common when first starting therapy and usually subside as the body adjusts.
