Peptide Therapy in Fort Collins
Targeted peptide therapy in Fort Collins — Sermorelin, NAD+, and GHK-Cu — to support recovery, muscle growth, tissue healing, cellular energy, and overall resilience. Protocols designed around your individual goals and labs.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as targeted messengers inside the body, signaling cells to repair tissue, produce hormones, and generate energy more efficiently. Our peptide protocols in Fort Collins are used to support recovery, muscle development, tissue healing, metabolic function, and cellular regeneration — with each protocol selected based on your individual health profile and goals.
Sermorelin is a growth hormone-releasing peptide that stimulates your pituitary gland to produce more of your body's own growth hormone — rather than introducing synthetic GH directly. This makes Sermorelin a popular choice for adults looking to support lean muscle development, recovery, sleep quality, fat loss, and overall vitality without the risks associated with exogenous human growth hormone.
Sermorelin is administered as a subcutaneous injection at home, with our Fort Collins team providing training and ongoing dose adjustment. Everyone responds differently. Your provider reviews how you're feeling at each follow-up and adjusts your plan.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme essential to cellular energy production. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and supplementing them through peptide therapy supports mitochondrial function, mental clarity, metabolic health, and longevity.
Looking for at-home NAD+ specifically? See our dedicated NAD+ injection therapy page — subcutaneous self-administration, provider-prescribed dosing, lower-cost than IV.
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide used to support skin regeneration, hair follicle health, and tissue repair. It's a strong fit for patients focused on recovery, healing after procedures, or appearance-related goals. Many patients combine GHK-Cu with red light therapy or hormone optimization for a more comprehensive approach.
In October 2026 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a draft policy under which licensed pharmacies may compound six peptides on a patient-specific prescription, including BPC-157, TB-500, KPV and MOTS-c. These are compounded medications. They are not FDA-approved, no regulator has established their safety or effectiveness, and the human evidence behind them is limited. The policy covers each peptide only as its own single-ingredient product. Our guide to the policy explains what changed and what it doesn't mean, and our BPC-157 and TB-500 guide covers the two peptides people ask about most.
Peak Medical Wellness plans to offer BPC-157, TB-500, KPV and MOTS-c by prescription once each has been through our clinical review and procedure process and our compounding pharmacy partner is supplying them under the policy’s sourcing and testing conditions. Interested? Book a visit; the evaluation is the same either way, and we’ll tell you where availability stands.

Peptide therapy is increasingly used by adults pursuing better recovery, lean muscle development, and faster tissue healing — particularly when combined with strength training, hormone optimization, and proper nutrition. Sermorelin remains the most commonly used peptide in this category because it stimulates the body's own growth hormone, which directly supports muscle protein synthesis, fat metabolism, and recovery between workouts.
For patients focused on healing — whether after injury, surgery, or aesthetic procedures — GHK-Cu offers measurable support for tissue repair, while NAD+ helps the body's cellular energy systems keep up with the demands of recovery. Our providers can build a combined protocol when it makes clinical sense.
We combine provider-led protocols with careful monitoring so Fort Collins patients can benefit from peptide therapy safely and effectively. Peptides are not a one-size-fits-all solution — the right combination depends on your health history, existing treatments, and what you're trying to achieve. Our team takes the time to understand your full picture before making recommendations.
Many of our peptide patients are already using hormone therapy or medical weight loss programs, and peptide therapy complements these treatments well. Improved cellular function supports better energy, faster recovery, and more consistent results across your entire wellness plan.
Your first peptide therapy visit includes a comprehensive health review, discussion of your goals, and lab assessment if needed. Your provider will recommend a protocol that fits your specific priorities — whether that's recovery, muscle development, anti-aging, healing, or a combination.
Most peptides are administered by subcutaneous injection, which patients self-administer at home after a brief training session with our team. Your provider will monitor your progress and adjust your protocol over time based on your response. Everyone responds differently.
Start with a consultation to determine the right peptide mix for your recovery, muscle growth, healing, or anti-aging goals.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signals in the body. In peptide therapy, a licensed provider prescribes a specific peptide for a specific purpose, after an in-person visit and labs. The peptides prescribed at Peak Medical Wellness are compounded medications that aren’t FDA-approved for the uses they’re prescribed for, and your provider explains what the evidence does and doesn’t support for each one.
Sermorelin is a peptide that prompts the pituitary gland to release the body’s own growth hormone, rather than supplying growth hormone directly. It is a compounded medication that isn’t FDA-approved for the uses it’s prescribed for, and the research in adults is limited. Our sermorelin guide covers what it is, who it may fit and what the evidence shows.
Both are growth-hormone-releasing peptides. Tesamorelin is a longer, modified version with FDA approval for one specific condition, excess abdominal fat in people with HIV. Sermorelin is compounded and prescribed outside any approved indication. Your provider talks through whether either fits your history and your labs.
Some peptides are prescribed with recovery or body composition in mind, but the evidence in adults is limited and everyone responds differently. Your provider tells you honestly what a given peptide is and isn’t likely to do, and says so if it isn’t a fit.
GHK-Cu and some other peptides are used with tissue repair and recovery in mind. The research is early and mostly small studies, so your provider sets expectations honestly and monitors you while you’re in care. Everyone responds differently.
It depends on the peptide and on your health history. At Peak Medical Wellness, peptides are prescribed only after an in-person visit and labs, with follow-up while you’re in care. Side effects are usually mild and local, but some health histories make certain peptides a poor fit, and your provider reviews that first.
There is no set timeline, and the research for most peptides is limited. Your provider reviews how you’re feeling and what your labs show at each follow-up and adjusts or stops the plan from there. Everyone responds differently.
Sometimes. Your provider looks at the whole picture at your first visit and will say whether a peptide makes sense alongside hormone care, and in what order.
Some peptides are small injections under the skin that you learn to give at home, with training from our team at the clinic. Others come as a nasal spray or a lozenge. Your provider chooses the form and sets the dose and schedule. Nothing at Peak Medical Wellness is given by IV.
No. Neither is FDA-approved. In October 2026 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a draft enforcement-discretion policy under which licensed pharmacies may compound six peptides, including BPC-157 and TB-500, on a patient-specific prescription. That is not approval: compounded peptides are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality, and the FDA’s own reviewers said the evidence for them was insufficient.
Not yet. Peak Medical Wellness plans to offer BPC-157, TB-500, KPV and MOTS-c by prescription once each has been through our clinical review process and our compounding pharmacy partner is supplying it under the policy’s sourcing and testing conditions. Book a visit to talk through whether one fits you, and we’ll tell you where availability stands.
