What is a Peptide?
At its simplest form, a Peptide is a chain of amino acids in a specific sequence. Our bodies use peptides to cause biological actions in the body. Whether we are trying to improve your body’s natural ability to increase the production of Growth Hormone or to accelerate the production of Type 2 Collagen to heal tissue, peptides are used in all of these processes.

peptide THERAPY
Below is a list of Peptides we offer at BioCure and the primary function of each:
Sermorelin/Glycine
Like many aspects of the aging process, decreased growth hormone production is usually asymptomatic at first with its ill effects not becoming apparent for some time. If you know anything about hormones, then you likely know that they are quite easy to throw out of balance. That is why Sermorelin, and other growth hormone releasing hormones (GHRHs), are so safe and effective. Sermorelin stimulates the production and release of your own growth hormone, in a way that complements your natural biological rhythms. Usually, growth hormone is released in pulses throughout the day, with the biggest pulse coming just before you usually go to bed. Sermorelin stimulates the production of growth hormone in your pituitary gland. At BioCure, we combine Sermorelin with Glycine. Glycine is the smallest amino acid present in our body. It is considered a “conditionally essential” amino acid, meaning that under certain conditions creation by your own body is limited. Glycine is highly concentrated in collagen, which is a protein that builds up our skin. Scientists claimed they could “reverse aging” in human cell lines by adding glycine to them. Adding glycine to fibroblasts from 97-year-old people restored their mitochondrial function to much younger levels . Glycine has epigenetic effects, especially on the mitochondria. The epigenome determines which genes are switched on or off. Glycine can impact the gene expression of mitochondria. This could be one of the reasons why glycine can extend lifespan.
TB4-Frag
Peptide Therapy is one of the innovative methods that has been proven to slow the aging process in the human body. The “building blocks of protein” making peptides the number one method for anti-aging and wellness treatments. This helps with slowing down your bodies normal aging process along with increasing the quality of life and longevity
Research has shown that Peptides have a positive influence on reducing inflammation, building muscle and slowing the aging process.
TB4-Frag is designed to stimulate a natural healing compound in the body. While TB4-Frag can be taken with your workout regimen the workouts can be more effective in less amount of time making workout recovery quicker and easier
TB4-FRAG helps aid:
- Repair Muscle Tissue Damage
- Rejuvenate and Protect Muscular Structures at the Cellular Level
- Reduces Inflammation
- Increases Tissue, Muscle, and Joint Healing
BPC-157
It was first introduced and overviewed in the Journal of Physiology back in 1993. BPC-157, or Body Protection Compound 157, is a fragment of a protein found in gastric juice. Its tissue-regenerative ability isn’t limited to our stomachs, however, in fact, BPC-157 has been found to promote increased healing and repair in nearly every kind of tissue in which it has been studied. BPC-157 is able to promote the healing of joint structures, tendons, and ligaments as it allows for an increased delivery of nutrients and various healing factors that are required for growth and repair. Most joint structures, ligaments, and tendons are composed primarily of different kinds of collagen and their healing can benefit from the increases in collagen production stimulated by BPC-157.
PT-141
PT-141 is a peptide that is clinically proven and FDA-approved to treat sexual dysfunction in men and women. It effectively elevates sexual desire and sexual intensity in both men and women. Unlike Cialis and Viagra which work on the vascular system, PT-141 works on the nervous system increasing sexual motivation, desire, and performance. It can be administered via oral capsule, nasal sprays, or injections.
CJC1295 / Ipamorelin
CJC-1295 is one of the most promising anti-aging peptides available today. In the case of CJC-1295, it’s a growth hormone secretagogue – that is, it is, in and of itself, not a hormone. Rather, it triggers the secretion of human growth hormone in your body via your pituitary gland. Human growth hormone is essential for many systems in your body – and regulates far more than just growth. However, after about age 30, the rate of human growth hormone in the body starts to decrease, by as much as 15% per decade. This is one of the natural processes responsible for decreased energy, increased difficulty losing or maintaining weight, decreased muscle mass, increased struggles to build new muscle, compromised healing and immune systems, and much more that are characteristic of “getting older”. Reversing these trends, with an anti-aging peptide like CJC-1295 is considered quite safe, since it merely triggers your body’s production of your own natural growth hormone.
DHEA
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone made from cholesterol by your adrenal glands. Your adrenal glands are located on top of your kidneys. DHEA is a precursor for all major sex hormones, by precursor, we mean that our body converts DHEA into two important sex hormones: Testosterone and Estrogen. Testosterone causes male sex characteristics to emerge during puberty in boys, such as growth of facial and pubic hair, enlargement of the penis and testes, and deepening of the voice. In adult males, testosterone is related to sex drive, muscle and bone mass, and sperm production. Estrogen in women is related to breast development, release of eggs from the ovary, menstrual periods, and pregnancy. Men have small amounts of estrogen, and women have small amounts of testosterone. We utilize this as a supplement which can help us reach optimal levels of hormones in your body.
