What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that function as messengers within the body. They help regulate processes like hormone signaling, tissue repair, immune function, metabolism, and cellular energy. As we age—or encounter physical, emotional, or environmental stress—our peptide levels naturally decline.

Peptide Therapy Supports:

Through targeted peptide therapy, we can reintroduce these vital signals to support:

  • Injury recovery
  • Fat metabolism and muscle tone
  • Mental clarity and resilience
  • Libido and sexual performance
  • Joint comfort and gut health

All of our peptides are sourced from licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies and administered with professional medical oversight.

Peptides We Offer

Pentadeca-Arginate (PDA)

The Safer, Smarter Alternative to BPC-157

Searching for BPC-157 in Virginia Beach? Meet PDA: a 15-amino-acid regenerative peptide designed to mimic the healing benefits of BPC-157—with added clinical safety, pharmacy sourcing, and provider oversight.

Benefits of PDA Therapy:

  • Accelerates soft tissue repair (muscles, tendons, ligaments)
  • Reduces inflammation in joints and gut tissue
  • Supports healing after injuries or surgical procedures
  • Enhances overall cellular resilience and repair

Why PDA Instead of BPC-157?

BPC-157 remains unregulated and is often sold through unreliable sources. PDA offers a clinical-grade solution with similar anti-inflammatory and healing benefits, safely compounded and prescribed under medical supervision.

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)

Energy, Focus, and Longevity from Within

Feeling constantly tired, foggy, or burned out? NAD+ is a critical coenzyme your body depends on for mitochondrial energy, neurological function, and DNA repair. However, NAD+ levels decline with age and stress—contributing to symptoms like:

  • Low energy or stamina
  • Brain fog or forgetfulness
  • Mood dips and poor sleep
  • Sluggish recovery after illness or stress

Benefits of NAD+ injections:

  • Boosts cellular energy and metabolism
  • Enhances cognitive clarity and focus
  • Improves recovery and detox pathways
  • Supports longevity and anti-aging repair
NAD+

Sermorelin

Growth Hormone Support & Cellular Repair

Sermorelin is a peptide often used to naturally stimulate and naturally increase the production of Human Growth Hormone (HGH). Unlike synthetic hormone therapy, Sermorelin prompts your pituitary gland to release more of what it already knows how to make.

Common benefits include:

  • Enhanced muscle tone and fat metabolism
  • Faster recovery post-workout or injury
  • Deeper sleep and better mood stability
  • More energy, vitality, and mental sharpness

PT-141 (Bremelanotide)

Libido Support for Men and Women

Low sex drive isn’t just physical — it starts in the brain. That’s where PT-141 (Bremelanotide) works differently from hormone therapy or erectile medications. PT-141 is a neuropeptide that targets the brain’s melanocortin receptors to promote sexual desire and arousal. It is often used by both men and premenopausal women to enhance natural intimacy and satisfaction.

What sets it apart:

  • Works at the brain level—not through vascular stimulation
  • Addresses arousal challenges in both sexes
  • Offers fast-acting, on-demand benefits
  • Non-hormonal, safe, and well tolerated

Whether you’re navigating low libido due to perimenopause, testosterone changes, or emotional stress, PT-141 offers a trusted, fast-acting boost that fits seamlessly into your wellness routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is peptide therapy?

Peptide therapy uses targeted chains of amino acids to stimulate natural healing, hormone regulation, and tissue repair processes in the body.

Are these peptides safe?

Yes. When administered under clinical supervision using pharmacy-grade peptides, peptide therapy is considered safe and well-tolerated.

Is peptide therapy different from hormone therapy?

Yes. While both may address similar goals, peptides and hormone therapy work through different biological pathways. Peptides typically stimulate or enhance specific natural processes, while hormone therapy involves balancing systemic hormone levels.

How do I take peptides?

Most peptides are given through subcutaneous or intramuscular injections. We offer patient instruction and support for easy at-home use.

Can peptide therapy help with libido or arousal?

Yes. PT-141 is specifically used for sexual health and is available for both men and women to support desire and satisfaction.

How soon will I feel results?

Most patients report improvements in sleep, energy, libido, or recovery within 2–4 weeks, depending on the peptide.

Can I combine peptide therapy with other treatments?

Absolutely. Peptides complement many of our services, including HRT, weight loss, and vitamin injections.
