Therapeutic Peptides at PROVOKE Health
At PROVOKE Health, our doctors incorporate therapeutic peptides into our patients plans of care to support healing, optimize function, and promote overall health resilience. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body, influencing a wide range of biological processes. Whether you and your doctor are looking to enhance recovery, regulate immune function, or improve cognitive performance, the PROVOKE Health medical team carefully selects peptides based on your specific health needs.

Peptides Used at PROVOKE Health
Semax
Semax is a neuroprotective peptide that enhances cognitive function, memory, and focus. It has been shown to support brain health by stimulating the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which aids in neuronal repair and neuroplasticity (brain’s ability to adapt and rewire itself by forming new connections in response to learning, experiences, or injury).
Potential Uses of Semax:
- Cognitive enhancement and memory support
- Neuroprotection and brain health
- Mood stabilization and anxiety reduction
Selank
Selank is an anti-anxiety and cognitive-enhancing peptide that regulates stress responses and improves mood stability. It also modulates immune function and may enhance mental clarity.
Potential Uses of Selank:
- Anxiety and stress reduction
- Mood stabilization
- Immune system modulation
Thymosin Beta-4
Thymosin Beta-4 is a tissue-repair peptide known for its role in wound healing, muscle recovery, and reducing inflammation. It promotes new blood vessel formation and supports immune function.
Potential Uses of Thymosin Beta-4:
- Accelerated wound and tissue healing
- Muscle and tendon recovery
- Inflammation reduction
Thymulin
Thymulin is a peptide hormone that supports the immune system by regulating T-cell function and reducing inflammation. It also plays a role in balancing immune responses and may support patients with autoimmune disorders.
Potential Uses of Thymulin:
- Immune system modulation
- Anti-inflammatory support
- Potential support for autoimmune conditions
BPC-157
BPC-157 (Body Protecting Compound-157) is a gut-healing and tissue-repair peptide that works to reduces inflammation and may promote recovery from injuries. It also works in support of joint health, digestive function, and muscle regeneration.
Potential Uses Body Protecting Compound-157:
- Gut health (leaky gut / intestinal permeability, IBS)
- Joint and tendon repair
- Accelerated injury recovery
See BPC Provoke Plus below for one additional use of BPC-157.
IPA/CJC
IPA (Ipamorelin) and CJC-1295 work together to stimulate growth hormone release, promoting fat loss, muscle growth, and improved sleep quality. These growth-hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs) are often used in age management and performance optimization.
Potential Uses:
- Increased growth hormone production
- Fat metabolism and muscle growth
- Improved sleep and recovery
Sermorelin
Sermorelin is a growth hormone-releasing peptide that enhances the body’s natural production of growth hormone, supporting muscle repair, fat metabolism, and anti-aging benefits. This peptide has gained popularity for its anti-aging benefits in adults and is frequently used in hormone replacement therapies.
Potential Uses:
- Muscle growth and recovery
- Anti-aging and metabolic support
- Improved energy levels
See BPC Provoke Plus below for one additional use of Sermorelin.
Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin is another growth hormone-releasing hormone. While it is primarily used for reducing visceral fat in patients with metabolic concerns, Tesamorelin may also improve cognitive function and overall metabolic health.
Potential Uses:
- Reduction of abdominal fat
- Improved metabolic function
- Cognitive enhancement
Met-Enkephalin
Met-Enkephalin is an immune-modulating peptide with potential anti-cancer and pain-relief properties. It plays a role in regulating inflammation and immune response.
Potential Uses:
- Immune system modulation
- Pain management
- Potential adjunct for cancer therapy
MOTS-C
MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that enhances energy metabolism, promotes fat loss, and supports cellular function. It is often used for longevity and metabolic health.
Potential Uses:
- Improved energy production
- Fat metabolism and weight management
- Cellular health and longevity
Thymosin Alpha-1
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a powerful immune-boosting peptide that may help regulate immune function, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s defense mechanisms against infections and chronic conditions. One of its beneficial applications is its ability to both balance the immune system during inflammatory storms.
Potential Uses:
- Immune system enhancement
- Anti-inflammatory effects
- Support for chronic infections and immune dysfunction
VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide)
VIP is a neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory peptide with significant effects on immune function, brain health, and respiratory function. It is commonly used for chronic inflammatory conditions, mold-related illness, and chronic inflammation response syndrome (CIRS).
Potential Uses:
- Support for Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)
- Lung and respiratory health
- Neurological and cognitive support
BPC Provoke Plus
BPC Provoke Plus is a custom blend of three powerful peptides: BPC-157 (Body Protecting Compound-157), Thymosin Beta-4, and Sermorelin. When used together, these peptides are used to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and optimize recovery. Designed as part of a personalized PROVOKE Health plan of care, BPC Provoke Plus enhances the body’s natural regenerative abilities, supporting tissue repair, immune modulation, and musculoskeletal recovery.
Potential Benefits of BPC Provoke Plus:
- Supports muscle, tendon, ligament, and joint healing
- Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress
- Enhances immune function and tissue regeneration
- Aids recovery from injuries, surgeries, and chronic conditions
- May support gut health and neurological function
Are Peptides Right for You?
While peptide replacement therapy is a powerful tool in functional medicine and integrative healthcare, it should only be used as part of a medically supervised plan of care. At PROVOKE Health, we take an individualized approach, tailoring peptide therapy to your unique health.
