Peptide Therapy Protocols
Here are some common peptide therapy protocols offered at Balance Clinic to safely and effectively enhance your vitality:
Powerful peptides like Sermorelin, Ipamorelin, and CJC-1295 can help increase hormone levels of HGH, testosterone, thyroid and more. This is excellent for anti-aging, body recomposition, vitality, and general health.
It involves a twice weekly injection regimen - usually morning and night. Dosages are tailored to your lab results, needs, and goals.
Benefits include: increased energy/endurance, fat loss, lean muscle gains, better immunity and healing, enhanced mood and cognition, and improved sleep quality.
For targeted weight loss and appetite control, metabolic peptides can be very effective. Options like AOD-9604 suppress hunger while stimulating lipolysis - the breakdown of fat for energy.
This protocol entails daily or twice-daily injections before meals when hunger tends to peak. Dosages start low and increase gradually as needed.
Results include reduced food cravings, increased fat burning, accelerated metabolism, easier weight (fat) loss, and better body composition.
Peptides like BPC-157, TB-500, and others help repair musculoskeletal injuries by reducing inflammation, rebuilding damaged tissue, and accelerating healing.
This protocol involves regular injections at injury sites. Frequency depends on severity - from every few days to a few times weekly.
Benefits include: faster recovery, reduced pain/stiffness, enhanced functionality, avoidance of surgery, and lower risk of re-injury. Ideal for sports injuries, arthritis, tendonitis.
To reduce wrinkles, sun spots, acne, eczema and other skin conditions, peptides like Collagen, Epithalon and Thymosin Beta-4 can rejuvenate skin.
This regimen entails twice weekly microneedling peptide injections to stimulate collagen and cellular regeneration.
Results are improved texture, tone, smoothness, elasticity, hydration, brightness, and overall skin quality for a more youthful appearance.

She says peptide therapy gave her motivation and zest for life back.
David, a passionate golfer, endured chronic shoulder pain for years, which worsened over time. It severely impacted his performance and enjoyment. After MRIs and cortisone shots failed to provide relief, he began twice-weekly BPC-157 peptide injections. Within a month, David had significantly less pain and stiffness with fuller shoulder mobility. After 3 months, his injury was completely healed. David says peptides allowed him to get back to playing competitive golf pain-free.
