What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. They play various roles in the body, including signaling and supporting the production of essential proteins such as collagen. They are used in medical treatments due to their ability to mimic natural hormones and other signaling molecules in the body. As you know, NeXtGen offers peptide treatments such as GLP-1; however, we also offer a range of other Peptide treatments and are dedicated to finding the best treatments for you. 

Peptides We Offer

CJC-1295

CJC-1295 is a synthetic peptide that boosts growth hormone (GH) and IGF-1 levels, offering benefits such as increased fat loss, enhanced lean muscle growth, improved energy, better sleep quality, and faster injury recovery. Often paired with Ipamorelin, it supports anti-aging by improving skin elasticity and collagen production

BPC-157

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide known in preclinical studies for accelerating the healing of muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones, often used by athletes to speed recovery from injuries. It reduces inflammation, aids in repairing gut damage, and may assist in joint health.

Ipamorelin

Ipamorelin is a growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates the pituitary gland to increase natural growth hormone production, offering benefits such as enhanced fat loss, improved lean muscle mass, faster recovery, and better sleep. Often used for anti-aging, it supports better skin elasticity, higher energy levels, and improved cognitive function with fewer side effects compared to traditional growth hormone therapies.

PT-141

PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a synthetic peptide used to treat sexual dysfunction by acting directly on the brain’s nervous system to increase libido, rather than just enhancing blood flow. It is FDA-approved for hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women and is used off-label to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men.

GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu (copper peptide) is a naturally occurring compound that promotes potent anti-aging, skin rejuvenation, and tissue repair benefits. It enhances collagen and elastin production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin elasticity, accelerates wound healing, and promotes hair growth by reducing inflammation and supporting stem cell activity. 

Mots-c

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that acts as a potent metabolic regulator, offering benefits such as enhanced fat loss, improved endurance, and increased cellular energy. It works by activating AMPK, improving glucose metabolism, preserving lean muscle mass, and potentially slowing aging processes by boosting metabolic flexibility. 

Tesamorelin

Tesamorelin is a synthetic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog primarily used to reduce visceral abdominal fat. It acts by stimulating the pituitary gland to produce more growth hormone, which helps improve body composition by decreasing deep stomach fat, enhancing lean muscle mass, and improving lipid profiles.

TB-500

TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) is a synthetic peptide known to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. It enhances cell migration and new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) to aid recovery from injuries or chronic strain, often used by athletes to improve mobility.

Epitalon

​Epitalon (or Epithalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide, often called a "fountain of youth" peptide, that primarily aims to slow aging by increasing telomerase activity, thus lengthening telomeres and promoting cellular regeneration. It acts as a powerful antioxidant, enhances immune function, regulates circadian rhythms (improving sleep), and shows potential for cancer prevention.

Sermorelin

Sermorelin is a synthetic peptide that stimulates the pituitary gland to release natural Growth Hormone (GH), offering benefits like increased lean muscle mass, reduced abdominal fat, improved sleep quality, enhanced energy, and faster recovery. It acts as a <>growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analogue, often used to counteract age-related declines in GH.
