Peptide therapy involves the injection of specific peptides to help optimize hormones and address deficiencies. As we age or due to other factors, certain hormones may become imbalanced, leading to suboptimal health and quality of life. Peptide injections can help restore balance by signaling the body to produce more of key hormones.
At Vital Hormones Clinic in Springtown, we offer cutting-edge peptide protocols to help patients feel their best. With the guidance of our highly trained peptide doctors and advanced diagnostic testing, we can create customized plans to meet each patient's unique needs.
Key benefits of peptide therapy include:
Below we will explore the basics of the most popular peptides we use and how they can help Springtown residents optimize wellness.
Human growth hormone (HGH) is essential for health, but production declines significantly with age. Low HGH is linked to increased body fat, muscle loss, wrinkles, fatigue, poor immunity, and cardiovascular issues.
Sermorelin is an extraordinarily useful peptide for boosting HGH. It stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH), the body’s natural precursor to HGH. This allows the body to produce and regulate growth hormone in a youthful way.
The key benefits of Sermorelin include:
By spurring the body to make more HGH, Sermorelin fosters an anabolic (muscle-building) state. It enables more amino acids to be incorporated into muscle proteins leading to gains in lean tissue. It also accelerates lipolysis – the breakdown of fat. These effects result in an improved body composition with less fat and more functional muscle.
HGH plays a major role in bone remodeling to strengthen bones. Through increased production of HGH, Sermorelin helps build bone density and lower the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
Youthful skin depends on robust collagen production driven by HGH. Sermorelin reactivates this process leading to thicker, firmer and more vibrant skin.
HGH enhances tissue repair throughout the body. Higher HGH from Sermorelin allows cells, organs and tissues to regenerate more efficiency after damage or stress.
With optimized HGH levels, processes like cardiac output and oxygen uptake improve, boosting energy. Sermorelin also builds more vascularity and aerobic capacity for better endurance. Heart health biomarkers typically improve too.
The usual Sermorelin dosage is 200-300 mcg injected daily. Positive effects emerge around 3 months, with full benefits taking 6 months.
Springtown’s sunny climate provides an ideal setting for HGH peptide therapy nearly year-round. The youth restoring effects of higher growth hormone synchronize well with Springtown’s young, active culture.
Daily injections can be taken at any time of day according to patient preference and lifestyle. However, some research suggests taking Sermorelin about an hour before bed may yield superior results due to the role of HGH in repairing tissue during sleep.
As we pass age 30, natural HGH production falls rapidly. By 60 years old, HGH levels may plunge by 80% or more from peak production in our teens and 20’s. Declining pituitary function is mostly responsible for this age-related HGH decline.
Other factors can also reduce HGH besides aging, including:
Consequences of long-term HGH deficiency include loss of strength and muscle mass, weight gain, poor recovery from exercise, psychological issues like depression, and greater risk of diseases.
Prior to starting Sermorelin, a blood test to measure insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels is highly recommended. IGF-1 provides an accurate proxy for HGH production. Follow up testing of IGF-1 every 3 months allows precise monitoring of HGH levels to determine proper Sermorelin dosage and therapy duration.
Testing other hormones like testosterone, thyroid, and nutrients like vitamin D is also ideal to uncover any co-existing deficiencies suppressing benefits. Our clinic offers complete hormone testing services to tailor treatment.
Excess visceral fat layered in the abdomen is highly correlated to metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, and shorter lifespans. Diet and exercise alone rarely solve stubborn belly fat.
Tesamorelin is an extraordinarily promising peptide for torching visceral fat. It is a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analog similar to Sermorelin but about 10 times more potent. It stimulates substantial HGH release leading to profound abdominal fat reduction.
In studies, Tesamorelin lowered dangerous visceral fat by 15-30% over 6 months without exercise or dieting changes. This led to decreases in triglycerides, inflammatory markers linked to heart attack risk, and better insulin sensitivity.
Tesamorelin also improves muscle mass, exercise ability, mood, sleep quality, and cognition in most patients. It provides a powerful intervention to enhance fitness and reduce disease risk.
The standard Tesamorelin dosage is 1-2 mg injected daily before bed when HGH release peaks naturally. Diet and exercise enhance results.
As with Sermorelin, Springtown’s mostly sunny climate supports year-round treatment. Those carrying excess abdominal weight despite diet and exercise efforts are prime candidates for Tesamorelin’s selective belly fat burning effects.
Several factors drive excess accumulation of visceral belly fat as we age:
Consequences of excess visceral fat run far beyond just appearance issues. This deep belly fat churns out inflammatory signals, destroys insulin sensitivity, and secretes proteins that trigger hypertension, fatty liver disease, and atherosclerosis.
Prior to starting Tesamorelin, an IGF-1 blood test is recommended to gauge baseline HGH status. Follow up IGF-1 testing allows precise Tesamorelin dosage adjustments.
Full hormone panel testing covers other vital markers like testosterone, estrogen balance, thyroid, cortisol and vitamin D levels. Nutrient testing also assesses cofactors needed for effective fat burning like magnesium, zinc and chromium.
Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans accurately measure changes in abdominal visceral fat percentage and lean muscle mass from Tesamorelin therapy too.
A robust immune system is key to health and longevity. Thymosin Alpha-1 (T?1) is an extraordinarily promising peptide for strengthening immune function.
T?1 modulates white blood cell production, activity, and efficiency. It amplifies various aspects of cell-mediated and antibody-driven immunity against infectious disease.
Benefits of T?1 for immunity include:
By stimulating T-cell and natural killer cell production, T?1 builds resistance against bacterial, viral and fungal infections to prevent illness.
T?1 calms runaway inflammation and cytokine storms from pathogens by regulating immune signaling proteins. This helps mitigate nasty flu and COVID-19 symptoms.
Early research finds that by boosting anticancer immunity, T?1 decreases growth and spread of certain melanoma, liver, pancreatic and lung cancers.
When combined with vaccines, T?1 amplifies antibody production for stronger, sustained immune memory against viruses to increase protection.
By driving key regeneration processes, T?1 speeds recovery from illness and injuries, helping people bounce back faster.
Typical dosing of T?1 for immunity is 1-2 mg injected 3 times per week. It is extremely well tolerated with a high safety profile
Springtown’s mostly sunny weather and opportunities for outdoor recreation make it easier to maintain natural immunity. But air travel, stressful jobs, inconsistent sleep, alcohol consumption and other factors still hamper immune function for many residents. T?1 injections throughout flu season and year-round provide an innovative solution for keeping disease-fighting defenses strong.
Reasons for weakened immunity span:
Consequences of low immunity manifest as frequent colds and infections, autoimmunity disorders, chronic inflammation in the brain and body, higher cancer risk, and longer recovery from all health issues.
While testing is not mandatory prior to T?1 therapy, several markers provide helpful baselines:
These establish starting points for gauging improvements from T?1 treatment. Testing periodically thereafter provides feedback to hone in on ideal dosing and timing.
Certain peptide injections like BPC-157 have shown promise in research studies for healing leaky gut syndrome. By reducing intestinal permeability and inflammation, BPC-157 may help treat autoimmune conditions and chronic digestive issues that stem from a compromised gut lining. More research is still needed to fully understand the mechanisms and long-term effects.
The gastrointestinal (GI) system drives foundational health processes but commonly falls prey to modern lifestyle factors. BPC-157 is an extraordinarily beneficial peptide that repairs gut damage and resolves GI distress.
Via complex cytokine signaling, BPC-157 regenerates gut permeability, reduces inflammation, and stabilizes gut-brain pathways. It also accelerates healing of other damaged or injured tissues throughout the body.
Benefits of BPC-157 include:
BPC-157 fixes breaches in intestinal tight junctions to reverse leaky gut allowing gut-derived inflammation driving discomfort, food reactions, and autoimmunity.
Gut inflammation from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) conditions improves from BPC-157’s cytokine balancing effects.
By enhancing mucosal defense, BPC-157 guards gastric cells against NSAID damage and H. pylori bacteria to prevent painful ulcers.
Tendon, ligament and muscle tears heal faster with BPC-157 via increased collagen and growth factor production important for injury recovery.
Standard clinical dosing of BPC-157 is 200 mcg injected subcutaneously or orally twice daily. It mixes easily for convenient use.
Springtown’s high density of athletes and fitness buffs means plenty of residents cope with joint discomfort and sports injuries. BPC-157 provides local regeneration properties unmatched by other treatments. It also resolves nagging digestive issues so prevalent when busy schedules and eating on the run undermine GI health.
Causes of GI dysfunction and tissue damage include:
Consequences span abdominal pain, fatigue, arthritis, slow injury healing, headaches and skin conditions as leaky gut allows inflammatory chemicals to disseminate throughout the body.
While no testing is mandatory prior to BPC-157 therapy, the following provide helpful baseline and progress gauges:
Monitoring symptoms like joint pain when inactive and stool consistency provides inexpensive ongoing feedback as well.
