Your Body Already Speaks This Language.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the same building blocks as proteins, but smaller and more targeted in their biological function. The human body produces thousands of peptides naturally, using them as precise signaling molecules that regulate everything from growth hormone release to cellular repair, metabolism, and neurological function.
Peptide therapy introduces specific, clinician-selected sequences that interact with targeted receptors to amplify, restore, or support physiological processes. Unlike hormones, which operate broadly, peptides communicate specific instructions to specific cells and tissues.
At Arbour Longevity, every peptide protocol is developed based on your individual labs, health history, and goals. Protocols are sourced from regulated compounding pharmacies and administered under ongoing clinical supervision, with full transparency about the regulatory status of every compound before any prescription is written.

Six Categories. Every Goal. One Clinic
Every Arbour Longevity peptide protocol is clinician-designed around a specific physiological objective. All protocols are subject to current FDA compounding regulations and compound availability at the time of prescribing. Pricing and specific compound availability are discussed at the consultation.
Growth Hormone · Recovery · Sleep
Growth Hormone Peptide Protocols
CJC-1295 · Ipamorelin · Sermorelin
Restore what time has taken from your GH axis, naturally.
Growth hormone secretagogues may stimulate your pituitary to produce and release growth hormone through your body's own pathways, supporting recovery, body composition, sleep quality, and metabolic function that tends to decline with age.
- Deep sleep
- Recovery
- Lean muscle
- Fat metabolism
- Anti-aging
Metabolic · Fat Loss · Body Composition
Metabolic & Weight Loss Protocols
Tirzepatide · Retatrutide · Tesamorelin
Advanced metabolic medicine for body composition and fat loss.
GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist therapy represents the current frontier of metabolic medicine. Tirzepatide is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity. Retatrutide is an investigational triple agonist in Phase 3 trials. Tesamorelin supports visceral fat reduction.
- Visceral fat
- Weight loss
- Metabolic health
- Appetite
- Insulin sensitivity
Regenerative · Healing · Recovery
Regenerative Peptide Protocols
BPC-157 · TB-500 · GHK-Cu
Supporting tissue repair and recovery at the cellular level.
BPC-157 and TB-500 are among the most studied regenerative peptides in research settings, with data suggesting support for tissue repair, inflammation modulation, and musculoskeletal recovery. GHK-Cu supports skin and connective tissue regeneration. All are investigational compounds, discussed fully at consultation.
- Injury recovery
- Tissue repair
- Inflammation
- Gut health
- Skin
Sexual Health · Libido · Vitality
Sexual Health Peptide Protocols
PT-141 (Bremelanotide) · Kisspeptin
Addressing desire and vitality at the neurological and hormonal level.
PT-141 is FDA-approved for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in premenopausal women and used off-label in men. Kisspeptin supports the hypothalamic signaling cascade upstream of reproductive hormones, addressing sexual health from the biology of desire, not just its downstream effects.
- Libido
- Sexual response
- Hormone signaling
- Intimacy
- Vitality
Longevity · Cellular Health · Anti-Aging
Longevity Peptide Protocols
MOTS-c · Epithalon · NAD+
Supporting the biological pathways that determine how we age.
Longevity peptides target mitochondrial function, telomere biology, and cellular energy, the mechanisms that research has identified as central to biological aging. MOTS-c activates AMPK metabolic pathways. Epithalon may support telomerase activity. NAD+ restores the coenzyme depleted in every aging cell.
- Mitochondria
- Telomeres
- Cellular energy
- Oxidative stress
- Longevity
Cognitive · Focus · Neuroprotection
Cognitive Performance Protocols
Selank · Semax
Supporting clarity, resilience, and neurological health by design.
Selank and Semax are neuropeptides derived from endogenous proteins, studied for their potential to modulate anxiety, support cognitive function, and provide neuroprotective effects, without the sedation or dependency risks associated with conventional anxiolytics. Both are investigational in the United States.
- Focus
- Anxiety support
- Memory
- Neuroprotection

Frequently Asked Questions
What Patients Ask About Peptide Therapy.
Peptide therapy uses short chains of amino acids that act as precise signaling molecules, directing specific physiological processes, including hormone production, cellular repair, metabolism, recovery, and longevity. At Arbour Longevity, every protocol is clinician-designed based on comprehensive labs and health history, and administered under licensed clinician supervision with full regulatory disclosure.
Regulatory status varies by compound. Tirzepatide is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity. PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is FDA-approved for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in premenopausal women. Other compounds are used off-label or are investigational. At Arbour Longevity, the regulatory status of every compound is disclosed in full at consultation, and written informed consent is completed before any protocol begins. Availability of specific compounds may change based on current FDA regulations.
When prescribed and supervised by a licensed clinician following a comprehensive evaluation, peptide therapy has an established safety profile for appropriate candidates. At Arbour Longevity, all protocols require baseline labs, a complete health intake, and ongoing monitoring. Every patient receives full informed consent documentation including the regulatory status and known risk profile of each compound in their protocol.
Arbour Longevity in Ann Arbor offers clinician-supervised peptide therapy protocols across six categories: growth hormone support, metabolic and weight loss, regenerative and healing, sexual health, longevity, and cognitive performance. All compounds are sourced from regulated compounding pharmacies. We serve Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Saline, Plymouth, Canton, and greater Southeast Michigan.
Hormone therapy replaces or supplements hormones directly, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. Peptide therapy signals your body to produce hormones and other compounds more efficiently, working upstream of the hormone itself. Many patients benefit from both as part of a comprehensive longevity protocol: hormones restore deficient levels while peptides may optimize the signaling environment that makes hormone therapy more effective.
Results vary by compound, indication, and individual patient response. Growth hormone secretagogues may show sleep and recovery improvements within 2–4 weeks, with body composition changes typically at 8–12 weeks. Tirzepatide generally produces measurable metabolic changes within 4 weeks. Regenerative peptides may show tissue response within 2–6 weeks. Full protocol outcomes are assessed at the 3-month clinical review with follow-up labs. Individual results vary.
What They Said After.
★★★★★
"The growth hormone protocol changed my sleep within two weeks. Recovering from training faster than I was in my 30s. The clinical process, labs first, everything explained, made me trust the whole program."
★★★★★
"I appreciated that they explained every compound's FDA status before we started anything. That transparency is what sold me. The results spoke for themselves, 26 lbs in 4 months."
★★★★★
"Six months of PT had plateaued my shoulder. The regenerative peptide protocol at Arbour Longevity moved the needle in 6 weeks. Comprehensive informed consent, clear expectations, real results."
