Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. Peptides are known for their precision, communicating directly with cells to influence specific biological processes such as healing, hormone signaling, inflammation, and metabolism. As interest in longevity, recovery, and performance grows, peptides continue to gain attention in wellness and research communities.
Below, we take a closer look at some of the most discussed peptides and peptide-related compounds offered at MediThrive Personalized Wellness.
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)
Although NAD+ is not technically a peptide, it is frequently included in peptide discussions due to its foundational role in cellular health. NAD+ supports energy production, mitochondrial function, and DNA repair in every living cell. As NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, supporting NAD+ has become a focal point in aging and cellular performance research.
Wolverine Blend (BPC-157 & TB-500)
The “Wolverine Blend” refers to the combination of BPC-157 and TB-500, two peptides often researched for recovery and tissue support.
- BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) derives from a protein found in gastric juices. It has been studied for its potential role in supporting gut health, tendon and ligament repair, and overall tissue integrity.
- TB-500, a fragment of thymosin beta-4, supports cellular migration, angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), and muscle recovery.
Together, this blend is frequently used for injury recovery, inflammation support, and overall physical resilience.
CJC-1295 with Ipamorelin
Researchers widely recognize this peptide combination for its role in optimizing growth hormone.
- CJC-1295 stimulates the release of growth hormone by acting on growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) receptors.
- Ipamorelin is a growth hormone that promotes growth hormone release while minimizing stimulation of cortisol and prolactin.
When combined, they enhance natural growth hormone pulses and support recovery, lean body composition, sleep quality, and metabolic efficiency.
Sermorelin
Sermorelin is a GHRH (growth hormone releasing hormone) analog that encourages the pituitary gland to produce and release growth hormone naturally. Unlike direct growth hormone administration, Sermorelin supports the body’s own regulatory pathways. It is often discussed in age-management protocols for its potential effects on energy levels, fat metabolism, muscle maintenance, and sleep patterns.
KPV
KPV is a tripeptide that comes from from alpha-melanocyte–stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has gained attention primarily for its anti-inflammatory properties. KPV is frequently studied in relation to gut health, immune modulation, and inflammatory balance, making it a peptide of interest for digestive and systemic inflammation research.
Final Thoughts
Peptides help the body communicate more precisely at the cellular level. From cellular energy and inflammation control to recovery and hormone signaling, these compounds are shaping the future of wellness and longevity. As scientific exploration continues, peptides remain an exciting area for those seeking targeted, data-driven approaches to health optimization.
