What Are Peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the building blocks of proteins — that act as messengers, telling your cells to perform specific functions. They influence healing, metabolism, immunity, hormone balance, and more.
As we age, natural peptide production declines, leading to slower recovery, changes in body composition, reduced energy, and other health concerns. Peptide therapy uses targeted peptides to restore and optimize these critical functions.

Peptides Offered at Glendale Whole Health
BPC-157
Promotes healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and intestinal tissue; reduces inflammation; protects organs; may aid pain relief. Taken orally or via subcutaneous injection.
Cerebrolysin
A neuropeptide blend that crosses the blood–brain barrier to support brain repair, neuroplasticity, and cell communication. Used for cognitive impairment, stroke, TBI, dementia, and neurodegenerative conditions. Administered via injection or IV.
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
A synergistic combination that stimulates growth hormone release through different pathways, maximizing results. Benefits include improved body composition, energy, recovery, sleep quality, libido, and immune balance. Administered subcutaneously.
Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium (PPS)
Supports cartilage regeneration and reduces breakdown; used for osteoarthritis, BPH, interstitial cystitis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Given orally or via injection.
PT-141 (Bremelanotide)
Directly stimulates sexual desire in men and women by acting on the nervous system. Effective even in patients unresponsive to PDE-5 inhibitors. Taken orally or via subcutaneous injection (max twice weekly).
Scream Cream
A topical vasodilating blend that enhances sensitivity, libido, orgasm intensity, and lubrication in women. Applied locally with minimal systemic absorption.
Selank
An anti-anxiety peptide with antidepressant, cognitive, and immune-modulating effects. Supports focus, memory, and may aid weight loss/metabolic health. Administered via subcutaneous injection or nasal spray.
Sermorelin
Stimulates natural growth hormone production, supporting metabolism, recovery, sleep, libido, and lean body mass. Administered subcutaneously, often at night.
Sermorelin / Glycine
Combines Sermorelin’s GH-stimulating effects with glycine’s calming, sleep-supporting, and GH-enhancing properties.
Thymosin Alpha-1 (TA1)
Enhances immune response by supporting T-cell and dendritic cell function. Used in immune-compromised states, infections, Lyme disease, and chronic illness. Administered subcutaneously.
Thymosin Beta-4 (TB4) aka TB-500
Supports tissue regeneration, immune function, and healing of soft tissue injuries, ulcers, neurological injuries, and more. Often combined with BPC-157 for synergistic repair and hair regrowth. Administered subcutaneously.
GLP-1 Peptides for Metabolic Support
Semaglutide
A GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite, slows digestion, improves blood sugar control, and promotes fat loss. Offered as part of our Ozempic (Semaglutide) Weight Loss Program →.
Tirzepatide
A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist offering significant weight loss and metabolic improvements. Supports appetite control, insulin sensitivity, and sustainable fat loss.
