A plain-language guide to the peptides available— what each one is and what it does for you.

⚠ Compounded medications — not FDA-approved drug products. Prescription required with provider supervision
Longevity & Anti-Aging
GHK-Cu
Copper Peptide · Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper
Research / Compounded
Administration
Topical / SubQ
Research since
1973
Primary benefit
Skin & healing
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide that occurs naturally in your body. Levels are highest in your 20s and drop significantly by age 60. It works by activating your skin’s repair genes — stimulating collagen production, reducing inflammation, and accelerating wound healing. Research suggests it influences the expression of a remarkable number of human genes toward younger, healthier patterns.
Firmer skin, improved texture and collagen density
Faster wound and tissue healing
Reduced inflammation and oxidative stress
Hair follicle stimulation and scalp health
MOTS-C
Mitochondrial Peptide · Metabolic Regulator
Research / Compounded
Administration
SubQ Injection
Discovered
2015
Primary benefit
Metabolism & energy
MOTS-C is a peptide produced inside your mitochondria — your cells’ energy centers. It acts like a metabolic switch, improving how your body uses insulin, burns glucose, and responds to physical stress. Levels naturally decline with age and are lower in people with obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Improved insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation
Enhanced physical performance and endurance
Reduced age-related metabolic decline
Anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective support
🔋
NAD+
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide · Cellular Energy Coenzyme
Research / Compounded
Administration
IV / SubQ
Decline by age 60
~50%
Primary benefit
Energy & repair
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell in your body and essential to producing energy. It powers over 500 enzymatic reactions, activates longevity proteins called sirtuins, and plays a critical role in DNA repair. By your 60s, your NAD+ levels have dropped by roughly half — which is linked to fatigue, brain fog, and accelerated aging. IV delivery restores levels rapidly and completely.
Increased energy, mental clarity, and focus
Improved cellular repair and DNA maintenance
Metabolic support and healthy aging
Neuroprotective and addiction recovery support
🛡
Glutathione
GSH · The Master Antioxidant
Research / Compounded
Administration
IV / SubQ
Bioavailability (IV)
~100%
Primary benefit
Detox & skin
Glutathione is your body’s most powerful antioxidant — made naturally in every cell from three amino acids. It neutralizes free radicals, detoxifies the liver, supports your immune system, and recycles other antioxidants like Vitamins C and E. Levels drop with age, stress, and illness. IV delivery bypasses the digestive system for near-complete absorption — far more effective than oral supplements.
Powerful liver detoxification support
Brighter, more even skin tone over time
Stronger immune system function
Reduced oxidative stress and inflammation
Growth Hormone Support
📈
Tesamorelin
Egrifta SV® · GHRH Analogue · Most clinically validated GH peptide
FDA Approved (limited indication)
Administration
SubQ Daily
FDA approved
2010
Primary benefit
Fat loss & GH
Tesamorelin is a synthetic version of the hormone your brain naturally uses to signal growth hormone release. It stimulates your pituitary gland to produce more of your own natural growth hormone — rather than replacing it artificially. It’s FDA-approved for visceral fat reduction and is the most clinically studied GH-releasing peptide available.
Significant reduction in visceral (belly) fat
Improved body composition and lean muscle
Elevated IGF-1 — key marker of GH activity
Better sleep quality and recovery
🌙
Sermorelin
GHRH 1–29 · Geref® (discontinued brand) · Nightly injection
Compounded (previously FDA-approved)
Administration
SubQ Nightly
Originally approved
1990s
Primary benefit
Sleep & recovery
Sermorelin is the first 29 amino acids of the natural growth hormone-releasing hormone your body produces. It gently stimulates your pituitary to release GH in the same natural pulsing rhythm your body uses — preserving the feedback loop rather than overriding it. It’s taken nightly because most natural GH release happens during deep sleep. Previously FDA-approved; now available through compounding pharmacies.
Deeper, more restorative sleep within the first few weeks
Gradual improvements in body composition over 3–6 months
Increased energy and exercise recovery
Gentler GH stimulation than synthetic HGH
🔗
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
GHRH Analogue + GHRP · Synergistic combination
Research / Compounded
Administration
SubQ Injection
Typical cycle
8–12 weeks
Primary benefit
GH & body comp
This is a two-peptide combination that works through complementary pathways. CJC-1295 keeps your pituitary primed and ready to release GH. Ipamorelin then triggers strong GH pulses — without raising cortisol or prolactin the way older GH peptides did. Together they produce significantly more GH release than either peptide alone, making this one of the most popular combinations for body composition and recovery.
Increased growth hormone and IGF-1 levels
Improved body composition, muscle tone, and fat reduction
Better sleep, recovery, and daily energy
Fewer side effects than older GH-releasing peptides
Healing & Recovery
🩹
BPC-157
Body Protection Compound 157 · 15 amino acid healing peptide
Research / Compounded
Administration
SubQ / Oral
Typical cycle
4–8 weeks
Primary benefit
Tissue repair
BPC-157 is derived from a protein found naturally in human gastric juice. It promotes the growth of new blood vessels, reduces inflammation, and accelerates repair across multiple tissue types — tendons, ligaments, muscles, the gut lining, and nerves. It’s one of the most researched healing peptides in preclinical settings and is popular for sports recovery, chronic injuries, and gut health support.
Faster tendon, ligament, and muscle repair
Reduced joint pain and inflammation
Gut lining repair and digestive health support
Improved recovery from injury or surgery
🔄
TB-500
Thymosin Beta-4 Fragment · Tβ4(17–23)
Research / Compounded
Administration
SubQ / IM
Typical cycle
4–8 weeks
Primary benefit
Systemic healing
TB-500 is a fragment of Thymosin Beta-4, a protein your body produces naturally to support tissue repair and regeneration. While BPC-157 works locally at the site of injury, TB-500 works more systemically — promoting cell migration, new blood vessel formation, and healing throughout the body. The two are often combined for a more comprehensive recovery effect.
Systemic tissue repair and regeneration support
Improved flexibility and range of motion
Faster recovery from overtraining or injury
Reduced muscle soreness and inflammation
Sexual Health
PT-141
Bremelanotide · Vyleesi® (FDA-approved for women)
FDA Approved (women) · Off-label (men)
Administration
SubQ as-needed
FDA approved
2019
Timing
30–60 min before
PT-141 works differently from medications like Viagra or Cialis — it doesn’t target blood flow. Instead it activates specific receptors in the brain that are directly involved in sexual desire and arousal. This makes it effective for both men and women, and for cases where low libido is the primary issue rather than physical function. FDA-approved as Vyleesi® for women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD); used off-label for men.
Enhanced sexual desire and arousal in both men and women
Works on brain chemistry — effective regardless of blood flow
Can help when hormonal or psychological factors are involved
Used as-needed — not a daily medication
Our Signature Blends
🐺
Wolverine Blend
BPC-157 + TB-500 · Advanced Healing & Recovery Stack

The Wolverine Blend combines two of the most studied healing peptides into one preparation. BPC-157 targets the injury site directly while TB-500 supports systemic repair and mobility throughout the body — together they cover more ground than either peptide alone. A popular choice for athletes, post-surgical recovery, and chronic injury management.

BPC-157
Local tissue repair, gut healing, anti-inflammatory action at the injury site
TB-500
Systemic regeneration, improved flexibility, broader healing signaling body-wide
