Peptide therapy

Peptide therapy is a form of treatment that introduces short chains of amino acids – the building blocks of protein – into your body for health and wellness improvements. Peptides bind to and tell other cells what to do, replacing, mimicking or increasing the functions of your body’s naturally occurring peptides. Peptides can act as messengers that relay information to and into your cells. Your body naturally produces peptides, however the amount of them varies based on many factors, including your age.
Therapy with peptides is a safe and effective treatment option for many different health needs, including hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammation, and age- related body function decline. It is a personalized treatment approach that can be tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals, making it an ideal option for those looking to optimize their health and well-being.

Ipamorelin

Increases Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
Composed of five amino acids, Ipamorelin helps to primarily stimulate ghrelin and the pituitary gland to produce growth hormone. Benefits may include:
  • weight loss
  • decreased body fat
  • increased lean muscle mass
  • deeper and more restful sleep
  • faster injury recovery
  • increased exercise endurance
  • decreased joint and muscle pain
  • improved mental clarity and increased collagen production.

CJC 1295

Increases Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
Composed of 4 amino acids, CJC 1295 helps to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce more growth hormone and IGF-1 levels. Benefits may include:
  • weight loss
  • decreased body fat
  • increased lean muscle mass
  • deeper and more restful sleep
  • faster injury recovery
  • increased exercise endurance
  • decreased joint and muscle pain
  • Improved energy and vitality.
CJC 1295 is compounded with Ipamorelin to intensify the benefits of primary fat loss, muscle growth and improved sleep.

AOD 9604

Modified Human Growth Hormone
AOD 9604 is a modified form of amino acids 176-191 of the growth hormone polypeptide. It works by mimicking the way natural Growth Hormone regulates fat metabolism without an increase in appetite. AOD 9604 stimulates lipolysis (the breakdown or destruction of fat) and inhibits lipogenesis (the transformation of nonfat food materials into body fat). Benefits may include:
  • weight loss
  • fat loss
  • regulation of fat metabolism

Semorelin

Increases Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
Composed of twenty-nine amino acids, Semorelin helps to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce more growth hormone, naturally. Benefits may include:
  • weight loss
  • decreased body fat
  • increased lean muscle mass
  • faster injury recover
  • faster injury recovery
  • increased exercise endurance
  • decreased joint and muscle pain
  • improved energy and vitality and increased collagen production.

Semaglutide

GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide 1)
Semaglutide is a single peptide (branded under the name Ozempic or Wegovy) increases insulin secretion and acts on centers of the brain to suppress appetite. Benefits may include:
  • weight loss
  • lowered insulin levels
  • healthy Hemoglobin A1C levels
  • reduced appetite
  • decreases blood sugar
  • slows how fast food leaves your stomach.

Tirzepatide

GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide 1)
Tirzepatide is a single peptide (branded under the name Mounjaro) increases insulin secretion and acts on centers of the brain to suppress appetite. It triggers the body’s glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor and glucagon- like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, two natural incretin hormones. Benefits may include:
  • weight loss
  • lowered insulin levels
  • healthy Hemoglobin A1C levels
  • reduced appetite
  • decreases blood sugar
  • slows how fast food leaves your stomach

DSIP (Delta Sleep Inducing Peptide)

Neuromodulator peptide
DSIP is a well-known neuromodulator and natural sleep-promoting nonapeptide typically found in the brain. DSIP can provide a stress protective action and decreases stress-induced disorders. Benefits may include:
  • restored disturbed sleep patterns
  • decreased cortisol production
  • reduced chronic pain
  • increased sex hormonal levels
  • increase in antioxidants

Selank

Neuroprotective peptide
Selank has been identified as an “anti-anxiety” peptide that has shown improvement in learning, memory, cognition, depression and overall energy. Selank although has some similar actions of benzodiazepines, it is not a controlled substance. Benefits may include:
  • decreasing anxiety
  • decreased depression symptoms
  • lowered stress
  • increased memory
  • increased cognition
  • decreased withdrawal symptoms associated with substance use.

Semax

Neuroprotective /Neurogenic/ Neurorestorative peptide
Semax is a heptapeptide and synthetic analogue of a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Semax increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, which are chemicals that help to stimulate and control neurogenesis, the formation of new neurons in the brain. Benefits may include:
  • improved memory
  • increased focus
  • improved learning
  • decreased anxiety
  • improved mood
  • substance addiction recovery treatment.

PT 141 (Bremelanotide)

Increases sexual desire and motivation
PT-141 is a peptide hormone treatment that works to give you the desire and motivation along with the ability to increase blood flow to the penis or vagina and clitoris, returning the intimacy and passion to your relationship. PT-141 is an effective treatment for Erectile Dysfunction, Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder and low libido. PT-141 works directly through the nervous system to increase arousal, desire, and satisfaction with sex. Benefits may include:
  • regained self-esteem and confidence
  • improved desire and motivation
  • improved relationship with your partner
  • reduced stress and improved mood

FAQ

While clients will notice some significant increases changes in the body within the first month, the full-benefits are usually fully noticed after three to six months of therapy depending on the peptide.
Many peptides are administered through subcutaneous (under the skin in the body fat) injection. Some can also be taken orally, nasally, or topically. The frequency and dosage vary with each peptide.
As peptides are not foreign to our body, they have a higher safety factor and are well-tolerated. Peptides have the potential to be the future of regenerative medicine and are dramatically changing the lives of those seeking longevity and well-being. Peptides are dispensed from United States pharmacies that adhere to the section 503B Drug Quality and Security Act to assure compliance which provides safe and sterile compounded products. They are regularly inspected by the FDA, DEA and State Boards of Pharmacy.
Most people can benefit from peptide therapy and are available for women and men. Peptides are natural to our bodies. If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms, peptide therapy treatments can help. Footsteps to Wellness will conduct a medical evaluation including blood testing to customize an individualized peptide treatment plan.
Yes. You should only take peptides prescribed by a medical professional. Not all peptides are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and they are not approved for over-the-counter self-treatment. Peptides should not be purchased from the internet.
This will depend on the type of peptide and the treatment goal. Some peptides can be taken long term and some peptides will need to be cycled on and off to prevent resistance of effectiveness.
Some peptides may be covered by insurance if prescribed according to their guidelines. However, many clients don’t fall into the “medical necessity” insurance guidelines. We accept Zelle, HSA/FSA accounts and Care Credit.
