“One of the most impactful ways to optimize your health and reverse the signs and symptoms of aging both externally and internally is often with the use of growth hormone peptide therapy.”

Growth Hormone Peptides
Growth Hormone Peptide Therapy
Beginning peptide therapy can initiate an immediate and significant cascade of positive health results that can directly improve cognition, muscle mass, fat percentage, restful sleep and metabolism. All of which is achieved by potentiating the body’s own innate mechanisms.
Human growth hormone is a single chain polypeptide that is secreted by the pituitary gland. It regulates a variety of biological process throughout the body, which is why its benefits are so impactful and wide-ranging. However, as we age, our body’s natural production of GH (Growth Hormone) decreases resulting in a decline in our body’s ability to stimulate tissue repair and regenerate our cells to keep us healthy. This natural decline is responsible for symptoms of aging that include, but are not limited to, loss of muscle mass and bone density, increase in body fat stores, loss of skin elasticity, thinning of hair and poor sleep patterns.
Naturally enhance your growth hormone production
Growth Hormones Peptides do not replace your body’s own growth hormone production, creating a dependence on the therapy. Peptides are secretagogues, which naturally enhance and stimulate your body’s own production of growth hormone.
Our natural GH levels are at their peak when we are 20 years old, then it begins to consistently decline, so by the age of 40, most individual’s GH levels are 40% lower than they were at age 20. Unless it is naturally optimized by LivingYoung Center’s medically-supervised therapy, it will continue to decline, bringing all the signs and symptoms of aging along with it. Our patients who use growth hormone peptide therapy in conjunction with testosterone replacement therapy have experienced incredible results.

Which Peptide is the Best One for You?
Depending on your individual goals, we work with you, using prevention and optimization in the areas of wellness such as: sleep, nutrition, hormones, exercise, diet, inflammation reduction and lifestyle modification to achieve your desired result.
Some of our favorite and most commonly used peptides are:
SERMORELIN [GRF (129)]
Sermorelin Peptide Therapy derived from the first 29 amino acids of the GHRH protein that has shown promising and amazing results as a Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analog. Research supports that Sermorelin stimulates pituitary gene transcription of hGH messenger RNA, increasing pituitary reserve and preserving more of the growth hormone neuroendocrine axis, which is the first to fail during aging. This approach offers significant physical, mental, and emotional benefits, making it a valuable tool in health and wellness.
Physically, Sermorelin helps improve muscle strength, bone density, skin elasticity, and cardiovascular health. It is particularly beneficial for adults experiencing age-related GH decline, aiding in fat utilization, immune support, and faster recovery from injuries. Athletes and individuals in physical rehabilitation use Sermorelin to enhance performance and accelerate recovery.
Mentally, Sermorelin can improve mood, mental clarity, and cognitive function. It also enhances sleep quality by promoting deeper, more restorative sleep, essential for cellular repair, immune function, and overall vitality.
Emotionally, patients often report a general sense of well-being and improved mental health. Sermorelin’s natural approach minimizes the risk of side effects, aligning better with the body’s endocrine system. Regular monitoring by healthcare professionals ensures therapy effectiveness and safety.
Overall, Sermorelin peptide therapy supports a healthier, more vibrant life by fostering natural GH production, helping the body repair, rejuvenate, and thrive.
BPC 157 Peptide
BPC stands for “Body Protecting Compound” and is composed of 15 amino acids. It was discovered as an isolate from human gastric juice. This means it is not a foreign substance, it is naturally present in gastric acid, where it serves to protect and heal the gut. However it is in very small quantities.
When BPC 157 is concentrated it produces a high level of biological healing throughout your entire body. This is why it has gained popularity and given nicknames such as: the “Anti-inflammatory peptide” and the “Anti-ulcer peptide”.
If you have ever been diagnosed with leaky gut, irritable bowel disease (IBD) or any autoimmune conditions then this peptide will offer great benefits to you!
Experimentally, it has been demonstrated to accelerate healing in several different areas of the body, from gastric ulcers and skin wounds to tendon-to-bone injuries and damaged ligaments. Some research points to pain reduction for those that suffer from discomfort due to muscle sprains, tears and other tissue damage such as skin burns.
Research has shown that practically all organ systems appear to benefit from this specific peptide. BPC 157 holds incredible and diverse properties such as being neuroprotective, organoprotective, acts as a free radical scavenger, acts protectively on the endothelium, prevents and reverses thrombus formation, improves gastrointestinal villus height, crypth depth and muscle thickness, all while having a natural anti-depressant, anti-anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory effect.
FAQ
What exactly is Peptide Therapy?
Peptide therapy is the targeted use of peptides to produce a specific reaction in the body. Some peptides have been shown to assist with weight loss by stimulating the breakdown of visceral fat. They may also be utilized to reduce inflammation. Some peptides stimulate the production of human growth hormone and are utilized in anti-aging therapies or to increase muscle mass. Peptides are typically administered through the skin as a subcutaneous injection.
How long does it take anti-aging Peptide Therapy to work?
Peptide therapy has a “loading” period of 3-6 months before full effects are noticed. Benefits start within the first few weeks and they increase synergistically with continued therapy. Initially, injections are administered more frequently. Once levels become optimal and the benefits are achieved, injection frequencies can be decreased and transitioning to a maintenance protocol is possible.
How do I start Peptide Therapy?
Starting peptide therapy is easy. Most patients are candidates, however a consultation with our medical provider is required to verify candidacy and to discuss the proper usage and dosage based on your currently health status and goals. There is no additional charge for this consultation. Once you purchase the peptide you feel fits your needs the best and fill out the medical history forms (a link to these forms will be available after check out), we will reach out to you to schedule a consultation with our specializing provider. This consultation may be done in person or via telemedicine over the phone. After the consultation, we will have the compounded prescription sent to you.
Who is a candidate for Peptide Therapy?
While most people can enjoy the benefits of Peptide Therapy, patients with Lyme disease, chronic inflammation, autoimmune disease and other chronic degenerative diseases can benefit by including peptides in their treatment regimen.
Are Peptides safe?
In recent years, the use of peptides in health care has gained much popularity. Peptide therapy is generally considered safe and can be used to produce very specific effects. Not all but many peptides have been approved by the FDA allowing them to be utilized for medical trials and use.
What happens if I am not a candidate?
No worries. If after the consultation, you are not a candidate for peptide therapy, LivingYoung offers many other alternative therapies to aid you in your wellness journey.
Are other Peptides available?
Yes, we have a wide range of peptides available for our patients including AOD 9064, Melanotan 2, GHRP 2, GHRP 6, Bremelanotide, Ser -morelin and others. During your consultation with our medical provider we can help choose the best option for you based on your lifestyle and goals.
