Peptides are short amino acid chains — typically 2 to 50 residues — that act as signaling molecules, binding to specific receptors to trigger targeted biological responses. From accelerating tissue repair to stimulating your body's own growth hormone production, peptide therapy offers precise, protocol-driven optimization. At Primal Mountain Medical, every peptide protocol is designed by Medical Director Dr. Jacob Egbert, D.O., and delivered by our clinical team under his supervision.
Body Protection Compound — 15 Amino Acid Fragment
BPC-157 is a synthetic, stable 15-amino-acid peptide derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice. It promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), modulates nitric oxide pathways, and upregulates growth factor receptors — accelerating tissue repair in tendons, ligaments, muscle, and the GI tract. Widely used for nagging injuries, post-surgical recovery, and gut dysfunction.
Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) Analog — 29 Amino Acids
Sermorelin is a truncated analog of your body's own GHRH, consisting of the first 29 amino acids — the biologically active fragment. It stimulates your pituitary gland to produce and release growth hormone in its natural pulsatile pattern, unlike synthetic HGH which bypasses feedback loops entirely. The result: improved sleep architecture, faster recovery, and gradual body recomposition without shutting down your own GH production.
GHRH Analog — FDA-Approved for Lipodystrophy
Tesamorelin is a 44-amino-acid GHRH analog with a trans-3-hexenoic acid modification that extends its half-life. It's the only GHRH analog with FDA approval (for HIV-associated lipodystrophy), which validated its mechanism for selectively reducing visceral adipose tissue. Prescribed off-label, it's one of the most effective peptides for stubborn belly fat — clinical data shows significant reduction in trunk fat while preserving subcutaneous fat and lean mass.
Active men over 30 looking to optimize recovery, body composition, and sleep quality without synthetic growth hormone.
Men with stubborn visceral fat that hasn't responded to diet and exercise alone — tesamorelin specifically targets dangerous abdominal fat stores.
Athletes and weekend warriors dealing with chronic injuries, tendon issues, or slow recovery — BPC-157 accelerates the body's natural repair processes.
Men already on TRT who want to maximize their results with complementary peptide protocols for sleep, recovery, and body composition.
Peptide therapy uses short chains of amino acids — typically 2 to 50 — that act as signaling molecules, binding to specific receptors to trigger targeted biological responses. Different peptides activate different pathways: BPC-157 promotes angiogenesis and tissue repair, sermorelin and tesamorelin stimulate your pituitary to release growth hormone naturally, and others target sleep, immune function, or sexual health. All peptide protocols at Primal Mountain Medical are physician-designed and monitored with lab work.
We currently offer BPC-157 (a 15-amino-acid fragment that accelerates tissue repair and gut healing), sermorelin (a GHRH analog that stimulates natural growth hormone release for sleep, recovery, and body composition), and tesamorelin (an FDA-approved GHRH analog that selectively reduces visceral abdominal fat). Dr. Egbert designs all peptide protocols based on lab results and individual goals, and our clinical team delivers care under his supervision.
When prescribed and supervised by a physician, peptide therapy has a favorable safety profile. All peptides at Primal Mountain Medical are sourced from licensed US compounding pharmacies and prescribed only after physician evaluation and appropriate lab work.
Peptide therapy pricing varies by protocol. Monthly peptide programs start at $149/month and include physician oversight, medication, and monitoring. A $49 lab panel is required before starting any peptide protocol.
Both are GHRH analogs that stimulate your pituitary to release growth hormone, but they differ in structure and specificity. Sermorelin is the first 29 amino acids of native GHRH — it drives broad GH release, improving sleep architecture, recovery, and body composition over time. Tesamorelin is a 44-amino-acid modified GHRH analog with a longer half-life that selectively reduces visceral abdominal fat; it's the only GHRH analog with FDA approval (for HIV-associated lipodystrophy). Dr. Egbert selects the appropriate peptide based on your lab results, body composition goals, and health history.
Yes. Many patients at Primal Mountain Medical combine TRT with peptide therapy for synergistic benefits. For example, testosterone plus sermorelin can improve body composition, sleep, and recovery more than either treatment alone. All combination protocols are designed and monitored by Dr. Egbert.
