Peptide Therapy

Unlock the Power of Peptides for Better Health

Peptide therapy is a cutting-edge treatment designed to support your body’s natural healing processes, boost metabolism, and enhance overall well-being. At LX Medical, we offer a range of peptide therapies tailored to individual needs, from weight loss to improving skin health, and from inflammation control to cognitive function. Learn how peptides can transform your health by targeting specific body systems for lasting results.

What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that serve as building blocks for proteins and play vital roles in various bodily functions. They act as messengers, signaling cells to perform tasks such as tissue repair, hormone production, and metabolism regulation. As we age, natural peptide levels decrease, leading to a decline in these essential processes. By introducing specific peptides into the body in the right place and at the right time, we can restore balance and improve various aspects of health, including weight management, energy levels, and skin vitality.

How Do Peptides Work?

Peptide therapy works by mimicking the effects of naturally occurring peptides to enhance or restore key physiological processes. These treatments can help boost the body’s production of essential hormones, stimulate collagen production for skin health effects, and optimize metabolic functions. At LX Medical, we offer personalized peptide regimens that are carefully tailored to meet your health goals, whether you’re looking to improve work or fitness performance, manage weight, or boost your immune system.

GLP-1

GLP-1, or glucagon-like peptide-1, is a powerful tool for weight loss and blood sugar regulation. It works by increasing insulin production and suppressing appetite, making it a popular option for those seeking effective, medically supervised weight loss. Examples of GLP-1s are semaglutide and tirzepatide. Semaglutide mimics the effects of a naturally occurring hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. By increasing insulin release, reducing glucagon, and slowing digestion, it helps with weight management and improves glycemic control, making it ideal for those managing diabetes or prediabetes.Tirzepatide offers a dual-action approach by both suppressing appetite and increasing insulin sensitivity. This treatment helps reduce overeating and targets visceral fat stores, promoting sustained weight loss and improved metabolic health.

GHK-CU

GHK-CU is a copper peptide that improves collagen production and overall tissue regeneration. It promotes hair and skin rejuvenation and has been shown to improve wound healing and reduce inflammation,

Sermorelin

Sermorelin stimulates the release of growth hormone, supporting metabolism, muscle recovery, and sleep regulation. It has potential benefits for anti-aging, improvement of sleep quality, enhancing muscle tone, and improving skin health, making it a comprehensive wellness treatment.

BPC/TB4

This combination of peptides is known for its powerful regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. It improves blood flow, speeds up tissue healing, and may aid in recovery from injuries or surgeries.

MOTS-C

MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that plays a critical role in regulating metabolism and energy levels. It helps improve blood sugar control, supports weight loss, and may protect against age-related metabolic decline. Studies have shown that it increases the glucose uptake in skeletal muscle which also improves exercise capacity and endurance.

Oxytocin/Tadalafil/PT-141

This powerful combination targets sexual health by increasing sexual desire and improving blood flow. It offers a potential solution for both men and women experiencing sexual dysfunction, enhancing intimacy and satisfaction.

PT-141 Bremelanotide

PT-141 is unique in that it works on the nervous system to increase sexual desire. Unlike Viagra, which improves blood flow, PT-141 stimulates arousal directly, making it effective for both men and women.

Selank

Selank is a neuropeptide that helps reduce anxiety and improve cognitive performance. It supports immune function and may enhance mental clarity, focus, and overall mood.

Semax

Semax is known for its neuroprotective effects and potential to enhance cognitive function. It helps protect brain cells, improves memory, and may reduce anxiety and sleep disorders.

Tesofensine

Tesofensine works as an appetite suppressant by inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline. It promotes better body composition, enhances fat loss, and improves insulin sensitivity.

Thymogen

Thymogen supports immune function by enhancing T-cell activity, which plays a crucial role in fighting infections. It can strengthen your immune system, making it more effective in warding off illness.

DSIP

Delta Sleep Inducing Peptide has shown ability to increase sleep quality, and also promotes cerebral stress protection and adaptive properties.

Epitalon

Epitalon is a peptide known for its potential anti-aging properties. It activates the enzyme telomerase, which helps maintain telomere length, a key factor in aging and longevity. Epitalon helps optimize circadian rhythm, melatonin release, and pineal gland health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are peptides used for?

Peptides are potentially used to support various health goals, including weight loss, anti-aging, improved energy, and enhanced physical performance.

Are peptide therapies safe?

Yes, peptide therapy includes medications like insulin and Ozempic which are FDA-approved therapeutics. It also includes peptides that are not as well-studied, such as BPC-157, MOTS-c, and CJC/Ipamorelin. More research is needed to understand the safety profiles and efficacy of these therapeutics. LX Medical considers all peptides, even those that are fully FDA approved, as investigational, and we are committed to internal research to further the understanding of these peptide therapeutics. Peptide therapies are generally safe when procured from quality labs and compounding pharmacies and administered by trained medical professionals in a controlled environment.

How long does it take to see results from peptide therapy?

Results can vary, but many patients start noticing improvements in energy levels, mood, or body composition within a few weeks.

Can peptides help with weight loss?

Yes, certain peptides like GLP-1 and Semaglutide are highly effective in promoting weight loss by reducing appetite and improving metabolic function.

Is peptide therapy suitable for everyone?

Peptide therapy can be tailored to a wide range of individuals, but a consultation with a medical professional is recommended to determine if it's right for you.
