Peptide Therapy for Peak Performance and Wellness in Newport Beach
Peptide therapies offer a wide range of benefits to target common conditions and health issues related to weight loss, post-workout and injury recovery, sleep disorders, sexual dysfunction, anti-aging and rejuvenation, and immunity enhancement.
Dr. Garcia offers a number of safe and effective peptide therapy services that can optimize performance, increase vitality, and help you achieve your personal goals for health and wellness.
CJC-1295 with Ipamorelin or Tesamorelin Peptides
These three synthetic peptides are designed to stimulate the release of the body’s natural growth hormone. They offer many potential advantages including increased muscle growth, fat reduction, accelerated recovery, improved deeper sleep, and a variety of anti-aging attributes. On their own, each of these peptides provides potent benefits:
CJC-1295 is a modified synthetic version of somatocrinin, the body’s natural growth-hormone release hormone (GHRH) that is produced by the pituitary gland and supports cellular healing, lean body mass, and converts fat into energy more efficiently.
Ipamorelin stimulates the release of growth hormone more safely and precisely without any negative impact to prolactin or cortisol levels.
Tesamorelin increases growth hormone and Insulin Growth Factor-1 hormone (IGF-1) which promotes bone and tissue development, particularly at the adolescent stage, and may also provide strong cognitive and cardiovascular attributes.
Dr. Garcia may prescribe Tessamorelin or Ipamorelin or CJC-1295 combined with Ipamorelin to stimulate optimized growth hormone release and visceral fat and metabolic health benefits.
BPC-157 with TB-500 Peptides
These are regenerative peptides designed to accelerate the body’s natural healing processes supporting cellular growth and tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote faster recovery from injury. These peptides are becoming more widely used in sports medicine due to these benefits.
Body Protection Compound-157 (BPC-157) offers increased healing potency for the soft tissues including muscles, tendons, ligaments, stimulates new vascular growth, stimulates the production of collagen, and reduces inflammation. All of which are vital for accelerated healing and recovery.
Thymosin Beta-4 (TB-500) is a synthetic variant of the naturally-occurring peptide produced in the body for tissue regeneration and muscle repair and recovery. This peptide can be beneficial for targeting injuries of the muscles and connective tissue, resulting in shorter recovery times and restoration of full flexibility to the injured area.
Utilizing these potent peptides together has been shown safe and effective for treating chronic injuries and supporting post-surgery recovery.
MOTS-c Peptide
This peptide originates from the body’s mitochondrial DNA instead of the nucleus of the cells. That’s what makes it so effective as a treatment therapy for stimulating and increasing muscle energy. MOTS-c works to increase the body’s mitochondrial functionality, improve energy production while optimizing the way your muscle tissue uses glucose.
The advantages of MOTS-c as a therapy option come from its ability to improve endurance, support muscular recovery, and modulate metabolic response, all of which result in increased athletic performance and decreased muscle loss and weakness brought on by aging.
Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide (DSIP) Peptide
This is a popular peptide therapy that is commonly used as a means for not just promoting good, healthy sleep patterns but improving restorative or delta wave sleep which is a vital part of successful physical and mental health and well-being. DSIP works by acting as a moderator with the body’s central nervous system and studies have shown that DSIP can reduce stress, improve circadian rhythm, and bring additional antioxidant and analgesic properties to contribute to the body’s natural healing and recovery responses.
It’s important to keep in mind that DSIP is not intended to act as a sedative as it doesn’t directly impact your ability to fall asleep or stay asleep. This type of peptide therapy is prescribed for optimizing sleep quality and regulating sleep cycles when the body is subjected to elevated levels of stress or disruption of your typical sleep schedule.
There may be secondary benefits from DSIP that work by targeting chronic pain and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes for faster recovery from injury or surgery.
GLOW Peptide
The Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine-copper (GHK-Cu) peptide is naturally produced in the body and found in human saliva, urine, and plasma. GHK-Cu, when combined with the peptides BPC-157 and TB-500, the result is commonly referred to as the GLOW Peptide. This is a potent peptide that works to stimulate and support tissue repair and skin regeneration, making it very popular as a contributing component to many anti-aging therapy regimens.
The reason being that it triggers the body’s production of the collagen and elastin proteins along with glycosaminoglycans that are responsible for providing the skin with hydration, elasticity, and firmness. It’s also effective for boosting the activity of enzymes that repair skin and promote new vascular growth.
GLOW therapies may be prescribed for a variety of cosmetic and medical purposes due to the peptide’s effective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
GHK-Cu can help wounds heal faster, enhance skin tone and texture, reduce lines and wrinkles by delivering vital nutrients to areas of the skin that are showing the effects of age or damage caused by oxidative stress or UV rays from prolonged exposure to the sun. These benefits are a main reason why GHK-Cu can be found in many premium cosmeceutical skincare products and microneedling treatments. Some recent studies have shown that the peptide may also support the regeneration of tissue and stimulate hair growth.
Combining that with BPC-157 and TB-500, which work to speed up the body’s natural healing processes through cellular growth and rapid tissue repair, while reducing inflammation, make the GLOW Peptide a highly effective and potent treatment option.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are peptide therapies safe?
Yes, these therapies are typically safe when administered and supervised under Dr. Garcia’s carefully customized treatment regimens for use. An initial consultation with Dr. Garcia will help determine which peptide therapy is right for your particular health condition or concern to achieve the intended objectives. Blood work and gradual dosing methods are employed to ensure the best possible outcomes.
How are these peptide therapies administered?
In most cases, peptides are administered using subcutaneous injections. However, there are other methods that may be used based on the type of peptide treatment being employed and these may include topicals or oral treatments.
How long will it take to see results?
The timeline for noticeable results depends on a variety of factors including the conditions being treated, the type of peptide being administered, dosage levels, and the patient’s overall health and treatment regimen. Each patient is different, requiring different types of therapies. A consultation with Dr. Garcia will be informative for understanding how peptides can help your particular issue and an approximate timeline for seeing results and reaching your desired goals.
Are these peptides administered only by prescription?
Yes, the peptide therapies offered by Dr. Garcia are dispensed by prescription only. After an initial consultation, Dr. Garcia will develop a personalized treatment approach designed exclusively for your condition.
