Unlocking the Potential of Peptide Therapy

At Montana Laser and Medical Center, we’re always exploring new ways to support our patients’ health and recovery. One option that’s getting a lot of attention is peptide therapy.

What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids—the building blocks of proteins. Think of them as messengers that help guide important processes in your body, like healing, metabolism, and cellular repair. Your body naturally makes many peptides, but as we age or face health challenges, levels can change.

Medical providers can prescribe specific peptides to help support your body’s natural functions. These prescriptions are compounded by specialized pharmacies and used under medical supervision.

Potential Benefits of Peptide Therapy

Different peptides may support different goals. Here are a few examples:

• Sermorelin – Encourages your body’s natural production of growth hormone, which may support better sleep, recovery, and body composition.

• Tesamorelin – Similar to sermorelin but stronger; it may support metabolism and fat mobilization while also encouraging muscle recovery.

• BPC-157 & KPV – These oral peptides are being studied for their role in supporting tissue repair, gut health, and reducing inflammation.

• TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) – A naturally occurring peptide that may help with recovery from physical stress, flexibility, and healing.

• PT-141 – FDA-approved for improving libido in pre-menopausal women, and frequently used for men as well.

• Semaglutide + B12 – Widely known for medical weight management, this combination may help reduce appetite while supporting energy and mood.

• Tirzepatide + NAD – Tirzepatide is another medical weight management option; NAD supports energy production and recovery.

What You Need to Know

• Supervision matters: Peptides should only be used under the care of a licensed healthcare provider.

• FDA status: Some peptides are FDA-approved for specific uses, while others are prescribed “off-label” based on research and clinical experience.

• Monitoring: Regular check-ins and lab testing are recommended to make sure your body is responding well and to keep therapy safe.

• Not for everyone: Peptide therapy isn’t a replacement for healthy habits, and it may not be appropriate for competitive athletes due to anti-doping restrictions.
