There are several peptide therapies available at The Beaumont Med Spa. These include:

SERMORELIN Sermorelin is a bioidentical peptide. It is a "growth hormone-releasing hormone" (GHRH) that is produced naturally by the human brain to stimulate production and release of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. The increased volume of human growth hormone (hGH) causes an increase in the production of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 by the liver.

During aging, GHRH declines causing a decrease in the secretion of pituitary hGH which leads to growth insufficiency which can erode health & vitality.

Benefits may include:

• Increase of lean body mass

• Reduction of body fat through lipolysis

• Increase of strength and endurance

• Accelerated healing from wounds or surgery

• Improvement of sleep quality

SEMAGLUTIDE  Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, but it is also considered a peptide. It delays gastric (stomach) emptying (feeling of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meals, slows intestinal motility, improves glycemic control and lowers blood glucose (blood sugar) levels, and stimulates insulin secretion by pancreas.  

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 peptide that has been FDA approved for use in weight loss. It is a prescription medication. It is delivered by weekly injection. It aids in delayed gastric emptying, to keep you feeling fuller, longer, while also improving glycemic control and blood sugar management, ultimately reducing appetite and food cravings. Visceral fat (deep, hidden abdominal fat) is also targeted by this therapy, leading to leaner, slimmer physiques. **There are some inclusion and exclusion criteria and each patient should be properly screened. Consultation is needed to determine whether Semaglutide is recommended. Treatments are customizable to either be closely followed weekly in clinic or available for at home use. 

Peptide therapy in combination with BHRT can provide optimal results for qualifying patients.

GLUTATHIONE  Glutathione is a short peptide that acts primarily as an antioxidant. It is composed of the amino acids glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid. It can be utilized in strengthening the immune system as well as tissue building and repair. Because glutathione is produced by the liver, it is associated with detoxification. 

When administered through injection, the GI tract is bypassed, making it more effective quicker.

• aids in weight loss (shifts body from fat production to muscle development)

• improve immune function

• improves sleep, memory

• muscle recovery

• decrease inflammation and inflammatory conditions (acne, eczema, rosacea)

• increases collagen production

• improve skin health and appearance

Glutathione injections can increase weight loss, but they work best when combined with a healthy diet and an exercise plan. Long term use can be associated with decreased zinc levels (The tri -immune boost injection is composed of glutathione with ascorbic acid and zinc).

L-TAURINE    L-taurine, otherwise known as taurine, is a conditionally essential amino acid. It helps to maintain proper hydration and electrolyte and mineral balance in your cells, supporting the functions of the digestive, nervous and immune systems.

AMINO BLEND The amino acid blend available is compromised of 5 separate amino acids. These include L-Glutamine, L-Omithine, L-Arginine, L-Lysine, L-Citrulline. 

Glutamine is the most abundant peptide found in muscle, and an essential amino acid. The body can naturally synthesize glutamine, but strenuous exercise and training can deplete levels faster than the body can replenish. 

Ornithine increases lean muscle mass, including power output for weight lifters. Ornithine has also been associated with stimulating growth hormone secretion. 

Arginine aids in ammonia excretion, which is a byproduct of protein metabolism. It can be converted to citrulline, releasing nitric oxide. Arginine in conjunction with lysine has also been noted to increase growth hormone levels.

Lysine is acquired from your diet, as it is not produced in the human body. It is necessary in collagen formation, the most abundant structural protein in your body. It is also required for carnitine production, which converts fatty acids into energy.

Citrulline is associated with the urea cysle, aiding in elimination of ammonia and additional harmful substances from the body. It is also noted to cause vasodilation and aid in muscle building. 

LIPO PLUS WITH METHYL B12 (Contains Methionine and Carnitine) 

Methionine is an essential amino acid typically found in meat, fish, and dairy products. It must be consumed in diet or supplementation, as it is not produced in the human body. It provides protection from damage caused by ionizing radiation, detoxifying harmful substances, such as heavy metals, from the system. Additional claims note possible decreases in fatigue, decreased risk of balding, and osteoporotic bone change.

Carnitine is a compound produced in the body from lysine and methionine. Dietary supplementation can be achieved with meat. 

LIPO-TRIM SL (Contains Betaine, Methionine, Acetyl-L-carnitine, Leucine, Arginine) 

Betaine is a modified amino acid consisting of glycine with three methyl groups that serves as a methyl donor in several metabolic pathways 

Leucine is one of the 3 essential branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). These amino acids are utilized by skeletal muscle to give energy during exercise. It is needed for protein synthesis and conversion to ATP, improving tissue regeneration and metabolism. 

Arginine aids in ammonia excretion, which is a byproduct of protein metabolism. It can be converted to citrulline, releasing nitric oxide. Arginine in conjunction with lysine has also been noted to increase growth hormone levels.

Several IV infusions also provide peptide therapy. These include:

ENERGY (Vita blend + Amino Blend)

B-LEAN (Vita blend + METHYL B12 + L-taurine)

PERFORMANCE/RECOVERY (Vita blend + Vit C + Mineral Blend + Amino blend)

MYERS COCKTAIL (Acetyl-L-Caritine, Methyl B12, L-Leucine, L-Arginine, Choline, L-Methionine, Betaine, Thiamine (B1), Folic Acid)
