Peptide therapy is one of the most exciting advancements in modern regenerative and functional medicine. At Redwood Medical, we offer medically supervised peptide therapy designed to support healing, improve energy, enhance aesthetics, and optimize long-term health at the cellular level.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. They tell your cells what to do — whether that’s repairing tissue, increasing collagen production, improving metabolism, or supporting brain and gut health. As we age, our natural peptide levels decline, which can contribute to slower healing, fatigue, inflammation, and visible signs of aging.
Below, we break down some of the most popular peptides we offer and how they can support your health goals.
BPC-157: The “Wolverine” Healing Peptide
BPC-157 is a powerful, naturally derived peptide best known for its exceptional healing and regenerative properties. Often called the “Wolverine peptide,” BPC-157 supports the body’s ability to heal from the inside out.
This peptide is widely used to aid recovery from injuries, reduce inflammation, and improve gut health. It works by promoting tissue repair, improving blood flow to damaged areas, and supporting the integrity of the gastrointestinal lining.
Benefits of BPC-157 include:
- Support for joint, muscle, and tendon healing
- Relief from chronic aches and pains
- Enhanced recovery from injury or overuse
- Excellent support for gut and GI health
- Helps regulate inflammation and tissue repair
Important considerations:
- Not recommended for individuals with an increased risk of cancer
- Typically cycled 8–12 weeks on, followed by 4 weeks off
- Always prescribed and monitored by a medical provider
BPC-157 is an excellent option for patients dealing with musculoskeletal pain, injuries, or chronic digestive issues.
GHK-Cu: The Beauty & Regenerative Peptide
GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) is often referred to as the “beauty peptide” due to its powerful effects on skin, hair, and tissue repair. Naturally present in the body, GHK levels decline with age — leading to slower healing, thinning hair, and reduced collagen production.
This peptide works by regulating gene expression involved in tissue repair and stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Benefits of GHK-Cu include:
- Improved skin quality and firmness
- Increased collagen production
- Support for wound and tissue repair
- Promotes hair growth and scalp health
- Anti-aging benefits at the cellular level
GHK is an excellent add-on for patients already investing in aesthetic treatments and is beneficial for both men and women, especially those experiencing age-related hair thinning or skin changes.
NAD+: Cellular Energy, Focus, and Longevity
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a vital coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It plays a critical role in energy production, metabolism, brain function, and DNA repair. As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, contributing to fatigue, brain fog, and slower cellular repair.
Supplementing NAD+ can help restore cellular function and support healthy aging.
Benefits of NAD+ therapy include:
- Increased energy and stamina
- Improved focus, mental clarity, and brain health
- Support for metabolism and cellular detoxification
- Enhanced DNA repair and cellular longevity
- Long-term support for healthy aging
Dosing can vary widely depending on individual needs, goals, and tolerance. NAD+ is appropriate for most patients and is often used as part of a broader wellness or longevity plan.
CJC-1295: Growth Hormone Support for Sleep, Muscle, and Fat Loss
CJC-1295 is a peptide that stimulates the body’s natural release of growth hormone. Typically taken before bedtime, it works with your body’s natural rhythms to promote deep, restorative sleep, improve body composition, and enhance recovery.
Benefits of CJC-1295 include:
- Improved sleep quality and recovery
- Lean muscle development
- Enhanced fat loss and metabolism
- Improved skin elasticity and mental clarity
CJC-1295 is often layered with medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide to support body composition goals.
Important considerations:
- Not recommended for individuals with a predisposition to cancer
- Typically cycled 8–12 weeks on, followed by 4 weeks off
- Most patients are good candidates when properly screened
