Peptide Therapy

What is Peptide Therapy?

Peptides are amino acid chains that regulate a wide range of biological functions. Peptides signal and trigger cells in the body to perform specific healing tasks vital to our health and well-being. Currently about 7,000 naturally occurring peptides have been identified. Our peptide therapy is an ever-evolving, cutting-edge, customized treatment regimen offered to patients at LA Regenerative Wellness.

Peptide therapy restores the presence of rejuvenating growth factors in your body to optimal levels for enhanced cellular regrowth and restoration. The medical staff at LA Regenerative utilizes peptide therapy as part of a whole-body approach to healthcare with the goal of elevating each patient's overall health and wellness.

We only ever use the highest quality pharmaceutical grade peptides at LA Regenerative. We believe that peptide therapy should only be available at the absolute highest level and in its purest form for maximum regenerative and health-optimizing effects.

Our peptide therapy is always completely individualized to each patient.

Types of Peptides

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157)

BPC-157 is a peptide used for its healing properties, particularly for muscle, tendon, and ligament repair. It is commonly used by athletes and fitness enthusiasts to speed up recovery from injuries and reduce inflammation. BPC-157 also promotes the growth of new blood vessels, which enhances nutrient delivery to injured areas, accelerating the healing process.

KPV Peptide (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone derivative)

KPV peptide has potent anti-inflammatory effects, making it a potential treatment for arthritis, eczema and psoriasis. It also promotes wound healing by stimulating collagen production and formation of new blood vessels. KPV may also promote skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles and protect against sun damage. KPV reduces inflammation and promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut to improve overall gut health.

Growth Hormone Secretagogues (GHS)

Peptides like Sermorelin, Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 are growth hormone secretagogues, meaning they stimulate the body’s natural production of human growth hormone (HGH). HGH plays a crucial role in muscle growth, fat loss, and cellular repair. These peptides are often used in anti-aging therapies, fitness routines, and post-injury recovery protocols.

These peptides, by increasing HGH, have been shown to increase lean muscle mass, reduce body fat, and improve physical performance. Also aiding in sleep regulation, which is vital for muscle recovery and overall health.

Thymosin Alpha-1 (TA-1)

Thymosin Alpha-1 is a peptide that plays a role in immune function. It has been used to treat chronic infections, autoimmune disorders, and certain cancers by enhancing the immune system’s ability to fight off infections. Thymosin Alpha-1 helps increase the production of T-cells, which are essential for immune response.

This peptide has also been used in research related to viral infections, including hepatitis and even in some cases of COVID-19, where it helped reduce the severity of the disease by boosting the immune system’s response.

PT-141 (Bremelanotide)

PT-141 is a peptide used to treat sexual dysfunction in both men and women. It works by stimulating the central nervous system to increase sexual arousal and desire. Unlike traditional treatments like Viagra, which focuses on increasing blood flow, PT-141 works directly on the brain to enhance libido.

This peptide has been approved by the FDA for treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in women, but it can also benefit men with erectile dysfunction. PT-141 offers an alternative for those who may not respond well to other treatments for sexual dysfunction.

GLP-1 Agonists (Tirzepatide)

Tirzepatide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that plays a role in weight loss management. GLP-1 is a naturally occurring peptide that helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. By mimicking the effects of GLP-1, Tirzepatide promotes feelings of fullness, reducing caloric intake and facilitating weight loss.

Recent studies have shown that Tirzepatide can lead to significant weight loss in individuals with obesity when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. It also helps improve insulin sensitivity, making it a promising option for those at risk of diabetes.

Melanotan II

Though primarily known for its ability to promote tanning by stimulating melanin production, Melanotan II also has appetite-suppressing effects. Some users have reported weight loss while using this peptide, though it is typically used for cosmetic purposes. It is important to note that Melanotan II is not widely approved for weight loss but may be beneficial in certain contexts.
