Peptide Therapy

At Lake Oswego Health Center, our functional and regenerative medicine practice is rooted in finding the root cause of health imbalances and optimizing cellular vitality. Peptide Therapy represents one of the most advanced, targeted approaches to health optimization, cellular repair, anti-aging, and disease prevention available today.

What is Peptide Therapy?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that function as signaling molecules in the body. They instruct your cells on how to function, repair, regenerate, and regulate vital systemic processes.
 
As we age or experience chronic stress, illness, and environmental exposure, our natural production of essential peptides declines. Peptide therapy works by replacing or supplementing these precise biological messengers, helping to restore optimal biological signaling, boost metabolism, support cognitive health, and accelerate tissue recovery.

Key Benefits & Reasons to Choose Peptide Therapy

Peptide therapy offers targeted biological interventions with high precision and low systemic side effects. Whether your goal is proactive prevention, performance optimization, or recovery from chronic conditions, peptides support your body’s natural self-healing mechanisms.
 
We offer customized peptide protocols formulated in various bioavailable delivery methods, including subcutaneous injections, oral troches, capsules, nasal sprays, and topical preparations.

Primary Areas of Support:

  • Metabolic Health & Weight Management: Enhances lipolysis (fat loss), improves insulin sensitivity, and reverses diet-induced metabolic dysfunction.
  • Tissue Repair & Joint Recovery: Accelerates healing of tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, and skin barriers.
  • Cognitive Function & Neuroprotection: Supports memory, mental focus, mood balance, synaptogenesis, and neurogenesis.
  • Gut Health & Anti-Inflammation: Restores tight junctions, protects the intestinal barrier, and supports inflammatory bowel conditions.
  • Immune Modulation & Longevity: Promotes telomerase activity, enhances T-cell production, and combats cellular senescence.
  • Sleep & Stress Regulation: Regulates circadian rhythms, lowers cortisol, and promotes deep restorative sleep.

Our Most Commonly Prescribed Peptides

Every treatment plan is personalized based on your health history, laboratory findings, and clinical goals. Below are some of the peptides we commonly use in practice.

CJC-1295

Supports the body’s natural growth hormone release to promote healthy body composition, exercise recovery, sleep quality, and healthy aging.

Ipamorelin

A selective growth hormone secretagogue often paired with CJC-1295 to support lean muscle maintenance, recovery, metabolism, and restorative sleep.

BPC-157

Known for its role in supporting tissue repair and recovery, BPC-157 may help promote healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, joints, and the gastrointestinal tract.

Sermorelin

Stimulates the body’s natural production of growth hormone and may support healthy aging, cognitive function, energy, recovery, and metabolic health.

I’ve been using peptides as a lozenge for the past 2 years. My sleep is better, my energy is better and my stamina is much better. Thank you for all the care I have received over the years!

Regulatory Verification & Safety Note

FDA Regulatory Overview: Compounded peptide therapies are prescription therapeutics formulated by licensed 503A compounding pharmacies. In 2026, the FDA reviewed bulk compounding lists (Categories 1 and 2) to maintain safety oversight while enabling physician-guided access to key regenerative compounds. Compounded therapeutics are distinct from FDA-approved mass-manufactured drugs (with specific exceptions like pharmaceutical GLP-1 formulations).

Clinical Supervision: At Lake Oswego Health Center, all peptide protocols require comprehensive lab evaluation, diagnostic assessment, and ongoing monitoring by a licensed naturopathic physician.  

Disclaimer: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These therapies are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. All peptide protocols require medical assessment and prescription by a licensed healthcare provider.
