ABOUT
Peptide Therapy in Westminster & Wheat Ridge
Our peptide therapy in Westminster & Wheat Ridge is a specialized form of treatment designed to increase human longevity and performance through the emerging science of cell-signaling in the body through amino acid sequences.
At a fundamental level, amino acids are the building blocks of life. Individual amino acids combine together in chains to compose peptides, and peptide chains that are larger than 50 amino acids are known as proteins.
Peptides can be found in every cell in the body, carrying out many critical roles including a range of therapeutic applications related to longevity and optimal function. Some of these peptide-regulated activities include benefits related to anti-aging, preventing chronic disease, maintaining sexual health, and the body’s ability to lose weight or maintain ideal body weight.
WHAT ARE
Peptides?
Amino acid chains, or peptides, regulate a wide range of biological functions and processes. A peptide is a chain of amino acids, fifty or fewer in number. A protein is composed of long peptide chains. Our supply of these important signaling molecules decreases in both amount and efficacy over time. Fortunately, we have the ability to rejuvenate the body’s production and release of these important molecules. There are already over 60 FDA approved peptides on the market. Peptides are commonly used in everyday medical therapy such as Lisinopril, which is a commonly prescribed medication for high blood pressure and insulin for patients with diabetes.
Many peptides are administered through subcutaneous injection, some can also be taken orally or topically. The frequency and dosage vary from peptide to peptide.

Common Peptides and How They Can Help
Sermorelin
Sermorelin
Sermorelin is a powerful peptide that stimulates the production and release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland in our brains through the GHRH pathway. This peptide serves to reinforce a naturally-occurring process in our bodies that slows in many of us as we age.
CJC 1295
CJC 1295
CJC 1295 is a GHRH (growth hormone-releasing hormone) analogue similar to Sermorelin, but a step up in intensity and specificity. CJC 1295 allows the anterior pituitary to follow the natural, pulsatile release of growth hormone without an increase in appetite, cortisol levels, and other important hormones. CJC is usually compounded together with Ipamorelin due to its ability to stimulate GHRH for enhanced results.
Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin is another growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates the production and release of growth hormone through the naturally-occurring ghrelin pathway. Ipamorelin can assist with physical recovery from exertion and can also augment fat-burning in combination with other weight-loss strategies. It is also thought to have immunity-boosting properties as well.
PT-141
PT-141
PT-141 works directly through the nervous system to increase arousal and libido or desire for sexual activity. Treatments like Viagra and Cialis work through the vascular system to assist in the achievement of an erection. PT-141 can help with erectile function while also improving desire and motivation for sexual activity as well.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT
