What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that serve as the building blocks of proteins. These bioactive molecules play vital roles in numerous biological processes, including cell signaling, tissue repair, and immune response regulation. Due to their specific functions, peptides are increasingly recognized for their therapeutic potential in a range of health conditions.
Why do people use peptides?
Peptides offer a range of exciting benefits for those looking to optimize their health and wellbeing. These small chains of amino acids work by signaling the body to perform specific functions, helping improve energy levels, boost metabolism, enhance cognitive clarity, and support muscle growth and recovery. They can also aid in reducing inflammation, promoting healthy skin, and even supporting immune function. With peptides, the approach is natural and highly targeted, making them a versatile option for addressing various health concerns and goals, including:
- Tissue repair, healing & recovery
- Metabolic support & weight management
- Cognitive function & neurological health
- Sexual health & enhancing libido
- Anti-aging & longevity
- Growth hormone stimulation & building muscle
- Immune modulation & inflammation control
- Sleep enhancement
- Stress management
- Mitochondrial improvement
- Metabolic enhancement
- Hormone regulation
How does peptide therapy work?
Peptide therapy involves the targeted administration of specific peptides to stimulate desired biological responses in the body. By binding to specific cell receptors, peptides trigger biochemical cascades that can promote healing, enhance metabolism, and regulate hormone levels. This innovative approach can effectively address various health concerns, from muscle recovery and weight management to cognitive enhancement and anti-aging.
Who is a candidate for peptide therapy?
While you should always consult with an experienced medical provider before starting any type of peptide therapy program, peptide therapy is being used to address a diverse range of individual needs and goals, including for:
Athletes and Fitness Enthusiasts
Individuals with Acute and Chronic Conditions
Aging Adults
Those Seeking Cognitive Enhancement

What type of peptides do we offer
Metabolic support & weight management
- AOD9604: Designed to mimic the fat-burning effects of human growth hormone, AOD9604 boosts your body’s natural ability to metabolize fat. It promotes lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibits lipogenesis (fat formation), helping people achieve their weight loss goals without affecting their blood sugar insulin levels. Ideal for those targeting stubborn fat areas.
- Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin: This potent duo is perfect for individuals seeking both fat loss and lean muscle gain. Tesamorelin helps reduce visceral fat, particularly in the abdominal area, while Ipamorelin stimulants natural growth hormone production, aiding in muscle recovery and overall body composition improvement.
- Sarcotropin IPA: Designed to combat age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia), Sarcotropin IPA helps maintain muscle mass while promoting fat reduction. It’s an oral alternative for those seeking to preserve their physical strength, especially in aging populations, while also improving metabolic health.
Tissue repair & healing recovery
- BPC-157/TB4/MGF/KPV: This synergistic bled of peptides is the ultimate recovery and repair solution. BPC-157 and TB4 work together to reduce inflammation and promote tissue regeneration, while MGF enhances muscle repair and KPV calms inflammation, particularly in the gut. This stack is ideal for comprehensive healing, from sports injuries to inflammation-driven conditions.
- GHK-Cu: CHK-Cu is renowned for its regenerative properties. It helps repair skin, reduce wrinkles, and boost collagen production, making it a powerful anti-aging peptide. Its ability to promote wound healing and tissue regeneration extends far beyond cosmetic benefits, providing support for deeper tissue repair.
Growth hormone stimulation & muscle building
- Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin: This combination maximizes the release of growth hormone, supporting fat loss, muscle growth, and improved body composition. Tesamorelin helps target visceral fat, while Ipamorelin enhances recovery, making this combo ideal for those seeking comprehensive body composition improvements.
- IGF-LR3: IGF-LR3 promotes therapeutic effects by stimulating cellular growth and regeneration, leading to increased muscle mass and enhanced bone density. Its action supports muscle development, accelerates recovery, and strengthens bone health, making it beneficial for those looking to improve body composition or recover from muscle and bone-related conditions.
Peptide Therapy FAQs
What are the main benefits of peptide therapy?
How long does it take to see results from peptide therapy?
Are there any side effects associated with peptide therapy?
Are peptides safe?
Many peptides are not under FDA control but are still aggressively marketed and widely available for purchase on the internet. Unfortunately, in some cases, there is little or no medical oversight with the use of these types of peptides. Where they come from and how these medications are derived is important.
Many clinics will advertise and distribute peptide therapies, despite a lack of training or experience in their medical use. These medications do have potential side effects, meaning that the clinic, provider or practitioner you are getting them from should be trained and experienced in their use. At Age Management Center, we have been using peptides therapies for more than 10 years, we participate regularly in conferences and training programs, and we are well versed in the side effects, safety and efficacy. Experience matters.
