At Tampa Bay Total Wellness, we believe in making the most of every day to feel and look our best. In addition to the multitude of age management and longevity services we offer, we also encourage the use of peptides. These oral and injectable options are ones that you can stack onto other vitamins and supplements and use in conjunction with in-office treatments to address specific issues and live a longer, healthier, and happier life!
Rapamycin
This oral pill was originally developed as an immunosuppressant for organ transplant patients but has been recently discovered to possess powerful potential anti-aging effects. FDA-approved in 1999, researchers have known about this drug’s ability to increase life expectancy in mice for about one decade. This drug works by mimicking the effect of caloric restriction: it targets a signaling molecule called mTOR in our nutrient-sensing pathways, whereas usually restricting food is the typical switch for mTOR, which ultimately allows for autophagy (similar to the effect that fasting has on the body). This is THE LATEST in cutting-edge anti-aging treatment!
NAD+ (IV & injectable)
The celebrity-made-famous NAD+ IVs and IM shots which were once thought to simply slow aging now have clear evidence upon clinical trails that support the notion that aging can be targeted from its root cellular cause to actually REVERSE aspects of aging as well. Not only does NAD+ play a key role in skin aging but also demonstrates a great potential to improve multiple aspects of age-related decline across the whole body. In addition to supporting cell rejuvenation and assisting with the cosmetic side of aging, the treatment can also help reduce the risks of some age-related diseases, including potentially reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
BPC-157 (oral)/ PDA/Pentadecapetide (injectable)
This integrative peptide, derived from a protein in the stomach, is most renowned for its healing and regenerative qualities. Multiple studies have shown that it encourages greater gut health by possibly improving digestive disorders, healing ulcers, and mitigating NSAID-induced damage. Other studies suggest that it may accelerate healing wounds, muscles, tendons, and nerves. In additional to cardiovascular health benefits and improvement for mental conditions like depression and anxiety, BPC-157 is also associated with tissue regeneration and inflammatory control response.
Vitamin D injection
Vitamin D injections are nothing new, but they remain a health and wellness mainstay for a reason! Vitamin D is a critical nutrient. It is a powerhouse that our bodies rely on for everything from developing and maintaining sturdy bones to immune systems. Currently, close to 1 in 4 US citizens are Vitamin D deficient. Even though we live in Florida and get plenty of sunshine, most adults need to supplement Vitamin D. While it occurs naturally in some foods such as cheese and fatty fish, like salmon and tuna, most people need to supplement it, and intramuscular injections that go right into the bloodstream are far more reliable than oral pills which need to pass through the stomach. If you are looking for a healthy heart, a responsive immune system, an elevated mood, and diabetes and weight-loss support, schedule regular Vitamin D injections!
Vitamin B12 injection
Vitamin B12 intramuscular injections may help reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, neurological disorders, problems associated with thinking and memory, and vision loss. With these range of benefits, what are some signs you may possibly be suffering from a B12 deficiency? They include a pale, yellow tinge to the skin; a red, sore tongue; mouth ulcers; pins and needles (paraesthesia); disturbed vision; irritability; and depression.
Mots-C
A promising mitochondrial-derived peptide composed of 16 amino acids, Mots-C targets skeletal muscle and can enhance glucose metabolism. It can prevent HFD-induced obesity and improves insulin sensitivity, an important component in the weight-loss game. It plays an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular, diabetes, exercise, and overall longevity, which is our main focus here at Tampa Bay Total Wellness!
Tesamorelin, troche (dissolvable tablet) & injectable
Tesamorelin is in a class of medications called human growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF) analogs. It works by increasing the production of a certain natural substance that can decrease the amount of body fat; it is NOT used to help with weight loss, only fat loss.
Sermorelin, troche & injectable
Sermorelin is another popular method of stimulating the growth hormone, which can support improved physical performance, vitality, and body composition. Potential benefits include increased muscle mass, fat loss, faster recovery, stronger immune function, improved bone density, and heightened energy.
