Optimize Your Health Naturally

At Saffron & Sage, we are proud to introduce Peptide Therapy, a cutting-edge treatment designed to enhance your body’s natural ability to heal, rejuvenate, and thrive. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers, helping your body repair, restore, and maintain optimal function.

TYPES OF PEPTIDES:

If your are looking for Peptide Therapy, your Holistic Primary Care Provider will help guide you in finding what Peptides are aligned with your health goals and needs. Here is an overview so you can start to familiarize yourself with what we offer.

Neurocognitive and Mood Support Peptides

Peptides such as Selank, Semax, and Epitalon help modulate the limbic system, reduce anxiety, and improve cognitive clarity—especially in the context of limbic dysregulation, neuroinflammation, or post-infectious fatigue.

• Selank: Reduces anxiety, improves concentration, modulates GABA and BDNF signaling

• Semax: Enhances memory, learning, and executive function through BDNF upregulation

• Epitalon: Promotes melatonin regulation, telomerase activity, and deep circadian realignment

Mitochondrial, Energy, and Metabolic Support Peptides

This class is ideal for patients with fatigue, low metabolic flexibility, or mitochondrial dysfunction, which are common in CIRS, long-COVID, and post-antibiotic syndromes.

• MOTS-c: Improves mitochondrial function, glucose tolerance, and energy production through AMPK activation

• NAD+: Boosts mitochondrial ATP production, supports DNA repair and sirtuin signaling; used for energy, detox, neurocognition, and aging

• Glutathione: Master antioxidant that detoxifies mold, mycotoxins, and drug metabolites; used IV, liposomal, or subQ for redox homeostasis

Tissue Repair, Inflammation, and Gut Barrier Recovery

This trio, BPC-157, KPV, and TB-500, forms the cornerstone of regenerative support in CIRS, injury recovery, and systemic inflammation protocols.

• BPC-157: Repairs gut lining, blood-brain barrier, connective tissue, and vagus nerve

• KPV: Downregulates cytokines, calms mast cell activity, and modulates innate immune overactivation

• TB-500: Regenerates tissue via actin remodeling, mitochondrial repair, and enhanced microcirculation

Immune Regulation and Antimicrobial Support

Used in mold illness, Lyme, Epstein-Barr virus, or persistent post-viral fatigue syndromes, these peptides modulate immune function and combat intracellular pathogens.

• Thymosin Alpha-1: Enhances T-cell response, balances Th1/Th2, and improves immune surveillance

• LL-37: Antimicrobial peptide with activity against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and biofilms

• Thymosin Beta-4 (full): Broader immune and regenerative benefits than TB-500, often used in chronic inflammatory repair protocols

Hormonal and Endocrine Axis Peptides

These peptides modulate the growth hormone axis, endocrine circadian rhythm, and reproductive performance.

• Tesamorelin: GHRH analog that supports natural GH pulsatility, fat loss, and recovery

• CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin: Used together to increase GH and IGF-1 levels while avoiding excessive stimulation

• PT-141 (Bremelanotide): Activates melanocortin-4 receptors for libido enhancement and mood support

• DSIP: Induces delta wave sleep and supports parasympathetic restoration in HPA axis dysregulation

Beauty & Aesthetic Peptides

Peptides used in regenerative aesthetics promote collagen remodeling, hair follicle rejuvenation, and skin elasticity—often in systemic or topical form.

• GHK-Cu: Stimulates collagen, elastin, and dermal healing; improves mitochondrial function and skin tone

• Epitalon: Improves melatonin, antioxidant capacity, and skin clarity via telomerase activation

• BPC-157: Supports wound healing, scar revision, and vascular remodeling; can be used topically or injected intradermally

• Thymosin Beta-4: Enhances angiogenesis and soft tissue recovery, sometimes used in hair restoration

GLP-1 and Incretin-Mimetic Peptides

GLP-1 receptor agonists are increasingly used not only for weight loss, but also for metabolic rescue, neuroprotection, and inflammation modulation in complex chronic illness.

• Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy, compounded): GLP-1 analog that enhances insulin sensitivity, reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying, and lowers systemic inflammation; supports leptin and metabolic recovery in CIRS with metabolic syndrome or limbic leptin resistance

• Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound): Dual GLP-1 + GIP receptor agonist offering superior fat loss and glycemic control; may improve insulin, adiponectin, and inflammatory markers

• Clinical Use Cases:

• Fatty liver, leptin resistance, or stress-induced overeating patterns

• May indirectly improve inflammation, sleep apnea, and fatigue via fat mass reduction

• Cautions: Risk of nausea, delayed gastric emptying, or gallbladder issues; requires clinical oversight for thyroid history or gastroparesis
