Josh’s Peptides at Robins Total Care
Ever wonder what the next advance in medicine is?
The short answer is Peptides; they are small signaling molecules that produce an effect on cells and tissues within the body. They are largely composed of amino acids meaning they are mostly all natural with minimal side effects. They are being widely used to optimize healing, promote tissue repair, assist with recovery, and promote overall health and wellbeing. Peptides bind to cell receptors and use a natural process that helps them to in essence work better, leading to improved cell function. This then translates to improved healing, reduction of inflammation, improved recovery, repair of cell damage, treatment of chronic conditions more naturally, and overall improved wellness.
Peptides We Give in Office via IV
-
NAD+
NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells that is crucial for energy production, cellular repair, and maintaining DNA stability. Often discussed in its oxidized form, NAD+, it declines with age and is linked to age-related diseases. NAD+ helps reduce inflammation, helps reduce the bodies aging processes and effects, it aids in recover, helps with healthy aging, promotes healthier skin, improves cardiovascular health, and supports muscle function.
-
Glutathione
Glutathione is a tripeptide found in many bodily tissues. It plays a pivotal role in reducing oxidative stress, maintaining balance, enhancing metabolic detoxification, and regulating the immune system. In short, glutathione helps repair damaged cells and can help reduce the effects of and assist in prevention of cardiac disease, liver disease, kidney disease and some neurological conditions.
Peptides We Routinely Prescribe
-
PDA (the new BPC-157)
A pentadecapeptide fragment that demonstrates more protective and reparative properties in tissues, including anti-inflammatory effects, enhanced cell repair and collagen synthesis. Its compound is very similar to BPC-157. It has been shown to improve gut health, reduce inflammation, improve healing and tissue repair of injured sites, muscles, tendons and ligaments. There is some benefit in cellular repair of the neurological system including spinal cord and nerve related injuries. PDA is being considered as the future of regenerative medicine.
-
TB-500 (Thymosin Beta 4)
From the natural Thymosin Beta-4 peptide. This peptide has been shown to help during the acute healing phase of injuries. It has also been shown to assist with wound healing, reduce inflammation, and increase collagen deposits. It helps promote neurogenesis which has shown it plays a role in TBI, strokes, and spinal cord injuries. When it is injected into the scalp it can offer some benefits to hair regrowth.
-
Sermorelin and Tesamorelin
These peptides help stimulate the release of human growth hormone which helps with healing of damaged cells, muscle growth, weight loss, anti-aging effects as well as reduction of inflammation. Tesamorelin can help reduce visceral fat stores. Growth hormones have also been shown to stimulate nerve regeneration and remyelination repair and is considered the fountain of youth.
-
Ipamorelin + CJC-1295
When acted together these peptides help to release growth hormone in your body and are very potent in their action when utilized together. Much like sermorelin and tesamorelin; ipamorelin and cjc-1295 stimulate connective tissue and ligament healing, bone healing/repair, and tendon healing and repair. Using this peptide may help nerve regeneration as well. When human growth hormone is stimulated there is also improvement in sleeping pattern, stimulation of muscle mass and weight loss as well as anti-aging effects.
-
Pentosan Polysulfate
This peptide helps to stimulate the cartilage matrix synthesis while allowing for cartilage breakdown. This shows a possible new treatment for osteoarthritis. This peptide is one of the only ones to show a strengthening of cartilage tissue. It has anti-inflammatory properties and only needs to be utilized for a few weeks to receive a therapeutic effect. It is currently used in urological conditions such as cystitis but has great promise in strengthening and rebuilding cartilage.
-
Semaglutide & Tirzepatide (GLP-1)
These two peptides have become one of the leading peptides for patients to treat diabetes and obesity. By providing a substantial weight loss effect from activating the GLP-1R in your body. It also has been shown to increase insulin secretion, increase glucagon release, and reduce adverse cardiovascular events.
-
Oxytocin
This peptide hormone can provide weight loss, stimulate regeneration of the skeletal and heart muscles, help preserve muscle mass with age, and enhance sexual performance.
-
Cerebrolysin
Cerebrolysin is a peptide derived from brain tissue and is used to treat various neurological conditions, including stroke, dementia, and brain injury. It promotes brain cell repair and regrowth. It has neurotrophic-like properties and may enhance the survival of neural stem cells. It has also shown promise in neural cellular repair following spinal cord injury.
