PEPTIDE THERAPY 

Peptides are chains of amino acids that the human body uses to signal hormone release and trigger a multitude of bodily functions that maintain your health.


Therapy with peptides uses those sequences already present to regulate and rejuvenate functions, basically, they bind to and tell other cells what to do, replacing or mimicking the functions of naturally occurring peptides. 



Peptides have the capability to utilize body chemistry relationships to promote restoration, anabolism, and homeostasis. Peptides can act as messengers that relay information or transport materials into cells. i.e., peptides can transfer glucose from blood into the cells to be used as energy.

What Are the Different Types of Peptides?

There are over 60 FDA approved peptides on the market. Peptides are commonly used in everyday medical therapy such as Lisinopril, which is used for hypertension and insulin, used to control blood sugar and diabetes.

 

Some peptides are used are used to help increase HGH or human growth hormone production, promoting healing within the body. In addition to that, there are other peptides for gut health, for brain health, immune-boosting, sexual dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, and many more. 


At Ayafusion Wellness Clinic we focus on a few key peptides such as BPC-157, Sermorelin, TB500,  PT-141 (Bremelanotide), and GHK-Cu.

These are just a few of the many areas of health and wellness where peptide therapy can deliver safe and impressive benefits.

What Peptides are offered at Ayafusion Wellness Clinic?

    • BPC-157

      BPC 157, composed of 15 amino acids, is a partial sequence of body protection compound (BPC) that is discovered in and isolated from the human gastric juice. Experimentally it has been demonstrated to accelerate the healing of many different wounds, including tendon-to-bone

      healing and superior healing of damaged ligaments. This peptide is also shown to decrease pain in damaged areas. Those who suffer from discomfort due to muscle sprains, tears and damage may benefit from treatment with this peptide. It can also help aid skin burns to heal at a faster rate and increase blood flow to damaged tissues.


      Since BPC-157 is derived from a protein in the stomach, it’s often used to help treat stomach

      and intestinal conditions including fistulas, ulcers, and inflammatory conditions such as

      arthritis. BPC-157 has also been shown to help people with organ damage. Also, BPC 157 seems to protect organs and to prevent ulcers of the stomach. This peptide has been known to exhibit analgesic characteristics. Those who suffer from discomfort due to muscle sprains, tears and damage may benefit from treatment with this peptide. It can also help to aid skin burns at a faster rate by increasing blood flow to damaged tissues.


      Benefits of BPC157:

      • Speeds up tissue healing and recovery
      • Promotes Joint and Tendon Health
      • Helps in the regulation of blood pressure
      • Reduces post workout pain
      • Accelerates bone healing
      • Improves gum or periodontal disease
      • Protects the gut and repairs damages by inflammation
      • Aids in angiogenesis – the regulation of blood cells

      Benefits of Sermorelin

      • Increased lean body mass
      • Body fat reduction
      • Improved energy and vitality
      • Increased endurance and strength
      • Accelerated wound healing
      • Improved immune function
      • Improved cardiovascular function
      • Improved sleep

    • Sermorelin

      Sermorelin is another powerful peptide used to help augment human growth hormone (HGH) production. Just like Ipamorelin, Sermorelin is a synthetic peptide designed to stimulate the production and release of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) from the hypothalamus, which then signals the pituitary gland to release growth hormone (GH). As we age, our natural GH levels decline, leading to a range of age-related symptoms Sermorelin therapy offers a safe and effective solution to combat these effects by replenishing GH levels naturally. Sermorelin peptide is taken every day, generally on an empty stomach just before bedtime. The injection is given subcutaneously, into the fatty tissue just under the skin. This could include the abdomen, hip, thigh, upper arm, or other fatty areas of the body. We recommend rotating where you administer the injection to prevent bruising.


      Benefits of Sermorelin

       

      • Increased lean body mass
      • Body fat reduction
      • Improved energy and vitality
      • Increased endurance and strength
      • Accelerated wound healing
      • Improved immune function
      • Improved cardiovascular function
      • Improved sleep

    • TB500

      TB-500 is a synthetic version of the naturally occurring peptide present in virtually all human and animal cells, Thymosin Beta-4. This potent peptide is a member of a ubiquitous family of 16 related molecules with a high conservation of sequence and localization in most tissues and circulating cells in the body. TB-500 not only binds to actin but also blocks actin polymerization

      and is the actin-sequestering molecule in eukaryotic cells.


      TB-500 was identified as a gene that was up-regulated four-to-six fold during early blood vessel formation and found to promote the growth of new blood cells from the existing vessels. This peptide is present in wound fluid and when administered subcutaneously, it promotes wound healing, muscle building and speeds up recovery time of muscles fibers and their cells. An additional key factor of TB-500 is that it promotes cell migration through a specific interaction with actin in the cell cytoskeleton. It has been demonstrated that a central small amino acid long-actin binding domain has both blood cell reproduction and wound healing characteristics.


      These characteristics are uncovered by accelerating the migration of endothelial cells and keratinocytes. It also increases the production of extracellular matrix-degrading enzymes. Studies demonstrate that TB-500 is a potent, naturally occurring wound repair factor with anti- inflammatory properties. Tß4 is different from other repair factors, such as growth factors, in that it promotes endothelial and keratinocyte migration. It also does not bind to the extracellular matrix and has a very low molecular weight meaning it can travel relatively long distances through tissues. One of TB-500 key mechanisms of action is its ability to regulate the cell-building protein, Actin, a vital component of cell structure and movement. Of the thousands of proteins present in cells, actin represents up to 10% of the total proteins which therefore plays a major role in the genetic makeup of the cell.

    • PT-141 (Bremelanotide)

      PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is an innovative new peptide hormone treatment that works for both men and women to improve sexual function. PT-141 is an effective and efficient treatment for both erectile dysfunction and increased libido in men and improves female sexual arousal disorder in women. PT 141 peptide gives you the desire and motivation along with the ability to increase blood flow to the penis or vagina and clitoris, returning the intimacy and passion to your relationship. PT 141 addresses those issues to help resolve sexual difficulties.


      PT-141 works directly through the nervous system to increase arousal, desire, and satisfaction with sex. Treatments like Viagra and Cialis work through the vascular system and only give you the ability to achieve an erection. However, PT-141 gives you the desire and motivation along with the ability to achieve an erection, returning the intimacy and passion to your relationship.


      Given that everyone responds differently to Bremelanotide PT-141, effective dosages may vary. A 2mg dose is generally effective for men and women, about 1 hour prior to sexual activity. Some studies suggest starting with a 1mg test dose and injecting an identical amount 30 minutes later. In studies, some subjects responded to PT-141 in minutes while others took several hours to see the effects.


      Bremelanotide PT-141 is a novel treatment option for sexual dysfunction that works in both men and women.


      Primary Benefits of PT 141

       

      • Improved erectile function
      • Increased confidence and self esteem
      • No adverse effects on the vascular system. 
      • More potent than ED pills/medications
      • Increased libido via the central nervous system
      • Improved sexual desire in men and women 
      • Increase energy levels naturally
      • Enhanced mood, lower stress 
      • Natural sunless tanning agent 

    • GHK-Cu

      GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide which is naturally produced in many tissues in the body. Copper peptides are like this are naturally occurring protein fragments that have high affinity for copper ions, which are critical to normal body function. GHK-Cu has a variety of roles in the human body including, but not limited to promoting activation of wound healing, attracting immune cells, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects, and stimulating collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines in skin.


      GHK-Cu acts directly on fibroblasts by increasing production of mRNA and protein for collagen, elastin, proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, and decorin; all of which are critical components in tissue repair and maintenance. Further, it acts to stimulate the production of metalloproteases and protease inhibitors which function to remove damaged tissue proteins. Together these functions increase the function of the cellular machinery and scaffolding to initiate repair and healthier tissue. GHK-cu is one of the best products to signal regrowth and remodeling of tissue all over the body. Using this for healing and cosmetic use are its main indications. It also had been shown to be more effective at growing hair than the ingredient found in Rogaine!


      GHK-CU Benefits


      • Improves Healing
      • Prevents and corrects hair loss
      • Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
