Peptides are targeted chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. They support healing, metabolism, hormone balance, immune function, cognitive performance, and healthy aging. At Stratera, peptides are not used as a quick fix—they are integrated into individualized plans that support long-term metabolic, hormonal, and cellular health.

 

How Peptides Work

Peptides send precise messages to cells that activate specific healing or regulatory pathways. Depending on the peptide, these signals may accelerate tissue repair, improve sleep and recovery, support hormone production, enhance metabolic efficiency, reduce inflammation, or strengthen immune defense.
Because peptides are naturally occurring compounds, most are well tolerated and work synergistically with foundational wellness strategies such as nutrition, sleep, gut healing, movement, and hormone optimization.

Peptide Categories and Descriptions

 

Tissue Repair and Recovery

BPC-157 (Injection)

Supports rapid repair of tendons, ligaments, joints, and soft tissue while reducing inflammation. Also promotes GI healing and overall recovery.

BPC-157 (Oral)

Targets the digestive tract to improve gut lining integrity, reduce inflammation, and support healing in IBS, leaky gut, and autoimmune-related GI irritation.

BPC-157 + TB-500

A synergistic combination that enhances cell migration and deep tissue regeneration, significantly improving chronic tendon injuries, mobility, and athletic recovery.

 

Metabolic Optimization and Fat Loss

5-Amino-1MQ

Improves metabolic rate, increases NAD⁺ recycling, boosts mitochondrial energy, and enhances stubborn fat loss. Ideal for plateaus or insulin-resistant patterns.

AOD-9604

A growth hormone fragment that promotes fat breakdown and reduces midsection fat without raising IGF-1. Often helpful in cortisol-driven abdominal fat retention.

MOTS-c

A mitochondrial peptide that enhances insulin sensitivity, increases fat oxidation, and supports endurance and metabolic flexibility.

 

Growth Hormone and Recovery Optimization

CJC-1295

Stimulates natural growth hormone pulsatility to improve sleep, recovery, metabolism, and vitality.

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin

A combined GH secretagogue that supports fat loss, deep sleep, muscle development, and tissue repair while improving stress resilience.

Ibutamoren (MK-677)

Orally increases GH and IGF-1, supporting strength, muscle recovery, deeper sleep, and improved body composition.

Sermorelin

Stimulates natural GH production to support energy, body composition, recovery, and skin health for those with early hormone decline.

Tesamorelin

Clinically proven to reduce visceral fat and improve metabolic signaling, especially in central adiposity or metabolic imbalances.

 

Gut Health and Immune Regulation

KPV

Reduces mast cell activation and inflammatory responses in the gut and skin. Helpful for eczema, dermatitis, histamine intolerance, and IBD.

Larazotide

Supports tight junction integrity to improve barrier function and reduce systemic inflammation in celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and chronic GI distress.

Thymosin Alpha-1

Strengthens immune regulation, improves T-cell function, and supports chronic infection recovery or autoimmune balancing.

 

Sleep and Stress Regulation

DSIP

Lowers nighttime cortisol, stabilizes circadian rhythm, and improves restorative sleep, especially for early-morning waking or stress-driven insomnia.

 

Hormone and Fertility Support

Kisspeptin

Stimulates LH and FSH to support reproductive hormone balance, fertility, cycle regularity, and improved libido, particularly in cases of hypothalamic suppression.

 

Cognitive and Mood Optimization

Selank

Supports GABA regulation to reduce anxiety, enhance focus, and improve cognitive clarity without sedation.

Selank (Nasal)

Provides similar anxiolytic and cognitive benefits with a convenient nasal delivery system.

Semax

Enhances dopamine signaling and increases BDNF to support focus, memory, productivity, and long-term neuroprotection.

Semax (Nasal)

A nasal alternative delivering the same cognitive and productivity benefits.

 

Libido and Sexual Wellness

PT-141

Improves libido, arousal, and orgasmic function through central melanocortin activation. Effective in both men and women and not dependent on blood flow.

Melanotan II

Supports natural tanning, enhances libido, improves mood, and reduces appetite through melanocortin receptor activation.

 

Longevity and Healthy Aging

Epitalon

A telomerase-activating peptide that supports cellular aging, improves sleep quality, enhances immune function, and helps regulate circadian rhythms.

GHK-Copper

Improves skin firmness, elasticity, wound healing, and overall vibrancy by stimulating collagen and elastin production. Also offers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
