What Is Peptide Therapy and How Can It Boost Your Health?

Peptide therapy is one of the most promising wellness tools in functional and integrative medicine today. At Flow Wellness, with locations in Bend, OR and Seattle, WA, we specialize in peptide therapy to help patients enhance energy, recovery, metabolism, and long-term health. We offer telehealth consultations across the Pacific Northwest and can ship peptides directly to your home, when appropriate.

But what exactly is peptide therapy—and how can it benefit you?

What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids naturally produced by the body. They act as signaling molecules that regulate many physiological processes—such as hormone balance, tissue repair, immune function, and metabolism. Peptide therapy involves supplementing specific peptides to enhance or restore these functions.

While peptide therapy may seem new, the research behind it dates back to the 1970s. Peptides like Sermorelin and BPC-157 have been extensively studied in both clinical and preclinical settings for their regenerative, metabolic, and anti-inflammatory properties. As we age, our natural peptide levels decline. Peptide therapy helps restore those levels to support energy, performance, healing, and more.

How Peptide Therapy Works

Different peptides target different receptors or systems in the body. Depending on the formulation, they may:

• Stimulate cell repair and regeneration

• Improve metabolic efficiency

• Promote hormone production (like growth hormone)

• Enhance wound healing

• Reduce systemic inflammation

• Support immune balance

• Improve skin, hair, and tissue health

Popular Peptides Offered at Flow Wellness

Here are four of the most commonly used and effective peptides we offer:

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) Peptide

NAD+ is a peptide that supports mitochondrial health and cellular repair. It’s often used to:

• Boost mental clarity and focus

• Improve sleep and energy

• Support detoxification and longevity

• Enhance athletic recovery

Many patients notice better energy and deeper sleep within days. The mechanism? NAD+ peptide help restore your body’s cellular function to levels more typical of youth, improving how your brain and body respond to stress and fatigue.

At Flow Wellness, NAD+ is available in several formats:

• Add-on to GLP-1 therapy: No extra cost

• Injection kits: 1-month supply for $249, with a 10% discount if enrolled in autopay

• Sublingual troches: 30-day supply for $199, also with 10% off for autopay

• IV infusions: Available in our Bend clinic, ranging from $299–$499. Higher doses may take several hours to infuse, and patients are advised to start with lower doses and work up to 1000 mg.

Sermorelin Peptide

Sermorelin is a peptide that stimulates your body to naturally release human growth hormone (HGH), improving sleep, metabolism, muscle repair, and recovery. It’s used for:

• Fatigue and low energy

• Poor recovery from exercise

• Sleep disturbances

• Age-related hormonal decline

Administered via nightly subcutaneous injection for 3–6 months, sermorelin requires consistent use. Most patients notice improved sleep and recovery by the second month. A monthly supply is $249.

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) Peptide

BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from gastric proteins that supports both musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal healing. It’s commonly used to:

• Heal tendon, ligament, or muscle injuries

• Reduce joint inflammation

• Repair intestinal lining and improve gut health

We offer BPC-157 as a daily oral capsule. Most patients with gut symptoms (e.g. IBS, Crohn’s, bloating) report improvement within 2 weeks. For joint or soft tissue injuries, benefits are usually seen in 3–6 weeks. A 1-month supply is $249. Capsules should be taken on an empty stomach for best absorption.

GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide with powerful regenerative properties, particularly for skin, hair, and tissue repair. Clinical uses include:

• Skin rejuvenation (reduces wrinkles, firms skin)

• Improved wound healing

• Hair regrowth

• Immune support and inflammation modulation

At Flow Wellness, we offer GHK-Cu in two forms:

• Sublingual tablets: For systemic absorption and full-body skin/hair/nail support. A 30-day supply is $249 (10% off with autopay). Most patients notice results in 4–6 weeks.

• Topical formulations:

  • Hair Foam: Includes minoxidil, ketoconazole, latanoprost, finasteride, and GHK-Cu to address thinning and stimulate regrowth. Priced at $119/month, with visible changes in 6 weeks.

  • Anti-aging face cream: GHK-Cu with niacinamide and azelaic acid, ideal for face, neck, chest, or hands. Also $119/month.

Why Choose Flow Wellness for Peptide Therapy?

At Flow Wellness, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our team of clinicians creates individualized treatment plans using only pharmacy-grade peptides from trusted, U.S.-based compounding pharmacies. We never use research-only peptides or products from unverified sources.

A Word of Caution About Online Peptides

Be wary of peptides sold online or labeled “for research use only.” These are not FDA-approved, and you can’t verify their purity or manufacturing process. We strongly advise against using any product that isn’t backed by pharmaceutical-grade standards for human use.
