Injectable Peptides
Injectable Peptides
Peptide therapies offer a range of unique benefits that make them an appealing option for individuals seeking targeted and effective health solutions. By mimicking the body’s own signaling molecules, peptides enable precise therapeutic actions with minimal disruption to other bodily systems. Their natural composition from amino acids results in excellent tolerability and a lower risk of side effects compared to many conventional medications. Most peptides mimic proteins or molecules in the body.
Peptide therapies are remarkably versatile—they can support hormone regulation, boost immune function, aid in weight management, promote anti-aging, speed recovery from injury, and enhance cognitive health. Because they work at the cellular level, peptide therapies often deliver more effective and sustainable results. Treatments can also be customized to individual needs and goals, making peptide therapies a leading choice in the evolving field of personalized medicine.
What are Peptides?
Peptides are amino acids or proteins. From skincare to food products, peptides are all the rage right now. We have many to choose from here at La Vie to advance your health goals.
Our Peptides & Their Benefits
-
BPC-157
BPC-157 can help accelerate healing of injuries, reduce inflammation, promote gastrointestinal health, joint health, enhanced muscle recovery, neuroprotective effects and cardiovascular health.
-
CJC/Ipamorelin
This stack include the benefits of CJC (improved body composition, enhanced recovery and healing, better sleep quality, increased energy and vitality, anti-aging effects, stronger bone and joint health, improved cognitive function and a strengthened immune system) and Ipamorelin (increasing muscle mass, fat loss, boosting immune function, improving recovery and healing, enhancing cognitive function, improving sleep and also has some anti-aging properties).
*This stack will be in 1 injection
-
GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu is made from glycine, histidine and lysine bound to a copper molecule. It has many benefits including tissue repair and regeneration, anti-aging properties, wound healing, stimulating collagen and elastin production for improved skin, reducing oxidative stress and supporting healthy scalp which leads to hair growth.

Glow Stack
BPC-157, TB500 and GHK-Cu
The benefits of this stack include the benefits of BPC-157 (accelerated healing of injuries, reduced inflammation, gastrointestinal health, joint health, enhanced muscle recovery, neuroprotective effects and cardiovascular health), TB500 (accelerated healing, improved mobility and flexibility, reduced inflammation and pain, promotion of angiogenesis, cellular regeneration and migration, cardioprotective benefits and hair growth support) and GHK-Cu (tissue repair and regeneration, anti-aging properties, wound healing, stimulating collagen and elastin production, reducing oxidative stress and supporting healthy scalp which leads to hair growth).
*This stack will be in 1 injection
-
AOD 9604
AOD 9604 promotes the breakdown of stored fat and inhibits the formation of new fat tissue. This can lead to a reduction in body fat, particularly in obese individuals.
By enhancing fat metabolism, AOD 9604 may improve overall metabolic health. This includes better regulation of blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity.
Some studies suggest that AOD 9604 may help in repair of joint and cartilage damage, potentially benefitting conditions like osteoarthritis.
-
Tesamorelin
Works by stimulating the pituitary gland to produce and release growth hormone (GH). Unlike other GH-releasing peptides, tesamorelin specifically targets the production of GH and does not affect other hormones like cortisol or prolactin. This selective action helps minimize side effects.
The benefits include reduction of visceral fat (hard fat), improved lipid profile, improved glucose metabolism, improved quality of life and can help improve bone density.

Wolverine
BPC-157 and TB500
This stack includes the benefits of BPC-157 (accelerated healing of injuries, reduced inflammation, gastrointestinal health, joint health, enhanced muscle recovery, neuroprotective effects and cardiovascular health), and TB500 (accelerated healing, improved mobility and flexibility, reduced inflammation and pain, promotion of angiogenesis or blood flow, cellular regeneration and migration, cardioprotective benefits and hair growth support).
*This stack will be in 1 injection
-
Sermorelin
Works by stimulating the pituitary gland to produce natural human growth hormone (HGH).
Benefits of sermorelin include increased muscle mass, decrease in body fat, improved sleep quality, faster workout recovery, enhanced energy and better cognitive function.
-
Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin stimulates natural growth hormone (GH) production.
Benefits of Ipamorelin include increasing muscle mass, fat loss, boosting immune function, improving recovery and healing, enhancing cognitive function, improving sleep and also has some anti-aging properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Wondering if peptide injectables are right for you?
Dr. Lisa answers frequently asked questions below. Reach out to us with any other questions you may have.
-
Peptides are a chain of amino acids that are the building blocks for things like hormones, proteins and tissues in the body.
-
The benefits of injectable peptides are bypassing the GI system so there is no negative GI side effects such as diarrhea, constipation, nausea or vomiting. Injections work quicker than oral peptide pills. Some peptides help with injury healing so injecting close to the site is beneficial for the injury to heal.
-
At La Vie, we have many peptide that cover a wide variety of health goals. You will have an appointment with our providers and discuss your health goals and together, we will create a health plan for you which may include peptides.
-
Each patient and peptide is different. You may start to feel the benefits sooner or later than other patients. Many patients feel an improvement in 4-6 weeks depending on the patient, peptide and health goals.
-
There is typically not any downtime to peptide injections. You will be able to work out and continue your usual activities. The most common outcome after an injection is a bruise at the injection site.
-
Most patient are candidates for peptide therapy. It is important to disclose any and all health information to your provider in order for the team to determine if peptide therapy is for you.
-
Each peptide will have a different cycle (time period you are injecting them). Some peptides (such as ipamorelin, tesamorlein, sermorelin) typically require a 2-4 week break between cycles.
-
With any injection, there is a potential for an injection site reaction, allergic reaction, infection, bleeding/bruising, etc. Each peptide has a different side effect profile but are uncommon. Any peptide that stimulated HGH or GH can produce a hive at the injection site and this is common. It is important to monitor all injection sites and yourself for any negative side effects or reactions.
