Semaglutide is a new, effective, FDA-approved weight loss peptide that is administered subcutaneously once weekly. It is for adults with obesity or who are overweight and also have weight-related medical problems. Semaglutide is shown to help them lose weight and keep it off.
- Slows gastric emptying and decreases appetite
- Improves insulin resistance and reduces food cravings * Improves cardiovascular health including lowering blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar
- Burns BOTH white and brown fat
- Decreases inflammation which leads to anti-aging AND an enhanced immune system
- Regenerates heart, brain and pancreas cells
It works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1 that targets areas of the brain involved in regulating appetite and food intake. This can help you eat less, which can lead to weight loss. It should be used with a nutritional plan and increased physical activity. Adults lost on average 35 lbs, or 15% of their body weight, while taking Semaglutide in a 68 week study.
No. Semaglutide therapy is not covered by insurance for people who are not diabetic type 2 and want it to just lose weight. If you are Diabetic Type 2, it may be covered by your insurance with proper documentations, such as Metformin failing to control your diabetic condition. You will also need a Prior Authorization with your PCP. The second option is for those who were prescribed a medication for weight loss, and it failed to work. They must also have documentation of Chronic Obesity and BMI>30.

BPC-157 stands for Body Protection Compound, a peptide originally isolated from protective proteins in the stomach. It promotes healing and regeneration in the body, especially in the gut, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. BPC-157 is available in oral capsules for systemic and gastrointestinal support and injections for targeted tissue healing and recovery.
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring peptide complex that supports tissue regeneration, wound healing, and skin repair. We offer it as a subcutaneous injection for systemic benefits that can include collagen and elastin support, faster post-surgical repair, and reduced inflammation.
Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide (DSIP) is a neuropeptide used to support natural sleep regulation. It promotes deeper, more restorative sleep by modulating circadian rhythms and reducing stress-related arousal. Clients consider DSIP for insomnia, poor sleep quality, nighttime anxiety, and to support recovery from physical/mental fatigue.
Semax/Selank injections to support focus, memory, mental clarity, and mood. It’s a synthetic peptide known for neuroprotective and nootropic properties, and often chosen to enhance cognitive performance, motivation, learning, and stress regulation.
Tesamorelin (a GHRH analog) stimulates your pituitary to release natural human growth hormone (HGH), particularly known for reducing visceral abdominal fat and supporting metabolic health. Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue (ghrelin mimetic) that triggers HGH release without affecting cortisol, prolactin, or hunger levels. Used together, they synergistically enhance natural HGH production to support fat loss, lean muscle, recovery, energy, and cellular repair.
Sermorelin is a bio-identical peptide that mimics growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), stimulating your pituitary gland to naturally increase human growth hormone (HGH) production. It’s primarily used for anti-aging, improved recovery, and performance optimization.
Ipamorelin is a growth hormone secretagogue and ghrelin mimetic, meaning it binds to ghrelin receptors to stimulate HGH release. It’s one of the safest and most selective peptides for this purpose, with minimal side
effects.
Used together, Sermorelin and Ipamorelin create a synergistic effect that enhances the body’s natural production of growth hormone while reducing unwanted side effects commonly associated with synthetic HGH.
