Peptides
Our body naturally produces peptides
Peptides can be found in every single cell and tissue. Peptides are tiny snippets of proteins that send messages to our cells to perform certain processes. Peptide therapies can be used to address a wide variety of health concerns, including hormone production and signaling, anti-aging, would and tissue healing, immune and metabolic functions, physical performance, sexual health, muscle building, and sleep. Steelman Medical Group offers an array of peptides for our patients based on their specific needs.
Below are our most popular peptide therapies:
-
Tirzepatide is a peptide-based medication used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). Tirzepatide mimics the effects of GLP-1, a natural hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels.
-
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a potent, regenerative peptide that helps slow down the onset of disease while increasing energy and brain health.
-
Mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA Type-C (MOTS-c) is a potent peptide supporting weight regulation, exercise, anti-aging, and glucose metabolism.
-
“Body Protection Compound - 157” (BPC-157) is a peptide that’s a a partial copy of the human “BPC” found in stomach acid. BPC accelerates the rate of new blood bessel formation (angiogenesis) to help wounds heal. BPC helps repair damage caused by inflammation and helps improve your joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bone health.
-
Copper peptide (GHK-Cu) is a naturally occurring copper complex first identified in human plasma. GHK-Cu is a core peptide with potent anti-inflammatory actions, stimulating hair growth, wound healing, skin regeneration, and anti-oxidant properties.
-
Ibutamoren is an oral growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP). Unlike Ipamorelin, it’s taken by mouth and remains active for roughly 24 hours. Ibutamoren increases growth hormone levels, energy, lean muscle mass, and strength, resulting in improved sleep and muscle recovery. It can also help decrease fat by stimulating the production of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). Ibutamoren works by stimulating the pituitary gland to release growth hormone. The body will then increase its own growth hormone production. Over time, the body repairs itself, and the aging process is slowed down.
