Peptides — what they actually do.

32 peptides organized by clinical category. Use this hub to browse what we work with — from metabolic and recovery tools to skin, immune, sexual wellness, and longevity protocols. Each peptide links into the full clinical reference where Travis explains the indication, course duration, cycling pattern, and the foundational work each one needs to be paired with.

Metabolic & Body Composition Support

Peptides used in structured metabolic programs — fat metabolism signaling, mitochondrial support, and the GH-axis tools we use when nutrition and training alone aren't moving the needle. Always layered on top of foundational work, never a substitute for it.

AOD 9604
To support fat loss/body composition — especially when patients are already doing the nutrition and training but progress is slow.
Read clinical detail →
MOTS-C
To support metabolic flexibility — energy, glucose handling, body composition momentum — in a comprehensive metabolic plan.
Read clinical detail →
NAD+ (both strengths)
To support energy, fatigue recovery, and resilience during high stress or burnout seasons.
Read clinical detail →
Adipotide
To support advanced body-composition goals when stubborn fat is the primary concern and foundational lifestyle work is already in place.
Read clinical detail →
AOD-9604 / CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin / MOTS-C (blend)
To address body composition from multiple angles — metabolism plus recovery and sleep plus cellular energy — in a single protocol.
Read clinical detail →
Tesamorelin
In appropriate patients, to target visceral and central fat patterns and support metabolic risk reduction under careful monitoring.
Read clinical detail →
Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin / AOD-9604 / MOTS-C (blend)
To support visceral fat patterns, energy, and recovery together in a structured metabolic program.

Growth Hormone Axis — Sleep, Recovery, Body Composition

Tools that work through the body's own growth hormone signaling — supporting sleep depth, recovery capacity, and body composition. Layered protocols that respect physiologic GH pulsatility rather than override it.

Sermorelin
To support sleep depth, recovery, and body composition through physiologic GH signaling.
Read clinical detail →
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
To improve sleep quality, recovery, and body composition for patients who feel they're not recovering like they used to.
Read clinical detail →
Hexarelin
To support more pronounced recovery signaling in advanced protocols when gentler GH-axis options aren't adequate.
Read clinical detail →
Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin (blend)
To support GH-axis optimization for body composition and recovery goals in appropriate patients.
Read clinical detail →
Somatropin (hGH) — Prescription
Used for specific medical indications under careful monitoring. Dosing is titrated based on goals, labs, and side effects.
Read clinical detail →
IGF-LR3
Reserved for advanced, goal-specific recovery and anabolic signaling protocols under high oversight.
Read clinical detail →

Recovery & Repair — Muscle, Tendon, Joint, Gut Barrier

Tissue-recovery peptides used when conventional rehab and recovery aren't keeping pace with training load, injury, or healing demand. Always paired with the underlying physical therapy and progressive loading work.

Skin, Hair & Aesthetic Longevity

Peptides supporting skin remodeling, healing, and aesthetic longevity. We use these as adjuncts to in-clinic procedures and medical-grade skincare — not as substitutes for the foundational skin care work.

Inflammation & Barrier Support

Targeted tools for inflammatory load and barrier function — used as part of root-cause work, not as a way to mask underlying triggers we should be identifying and addressing.

Immune Resilience

Immune-modulating peptides used selectively — for resilience and balanced signaling, not just "boosting." Always layered onto foundational immune support: sleep, vitamin D, protein, stress.

Brain, Mood & Stress Resilience

Cognitive and stress-modulation peptides used selectively after we've ruled out the foundational drivers — sleep, thyroid, iron, glucose stability. Short courses, reassessed, individualized.

Sexual Wellness

Peptides used for libido, arousal, and sexual response — always after we've evaluated hormones, stress load, relationship factors, and underlying health conditions. These tools complement that work; they don't replace it.

Thyroid / Metabolic Signaling

Used inside a full thyroid workup — never as a shortcut around one. The fundamentals (full thyroid panel, ferritin, selenium, iodine status, cortisol) come first.

Advanced — Not Routine in General Wellness

These are not routine wellness or longevity tools. They appear here for educational completeness — patients reading the rest of the guide ask about them, and we want them to understand exactly where they sit in our practice.

Have questions about your situation?

Note: peptide therapy is pending FDA approval and not currently prescribed at Revitalize. A wellness consultation with Travis can discuss the foundational hormone, metabolic, and recovery work that often answers the underlying question — and which we do directly provide.
