Peptide Therapies
Peptides can help ease the effects of aging by optimizing human growth hormone (hGH). As we age our hGH levels can decrease. Peptide therapies can help naturally increase our hGH levels. HGH is responsible for growth, healing, developement, maintaining weight and physique, and cell regeneration. The use of peptides can trigger the pituitary to release more hGH.
Peptide therapies we offer include:
• Semaglutide is FDA approved under the name brand Wegovy® for weight loss and we prescribe a compounded semaglutide to help patients lose weight and keep it off.
• Sermorelin is a peptide analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Causes the relase of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Sermorelin can increase lean body mass, reduce body fat, improve energy and vitality, increase endurance and strength, accelerate wound healing, and improve immune function. It is a great adjunct to BHRT and Semaglutide.
• PT-141 (Bremelanotide) FDA approved under the name brand Vyleesi® to treat Sexual dysfunction in women. CAJO Healing Therapies uses a compounded version of this medication.
• AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment that comprises a modified 15 aminoacid region of Growth Hormone with a tyrosine component to help stabilize the molecule. It was originally designed as a anti-obesity drug that had fat burning effects of human growth hormone without the muscle-building effect.
