Peptides

A thoughtful, supervised approach to performance, metabolism, recovery, and sexual wellness.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act like tiny messengers in the body. Some have FDA‑approved uses; many others are investigational and used off‑label. At Bloom in Frederick, Maryland, we keep this simple and safe: evidence‑informed care, legal sourcing, and patient‑specific plans. If a therapy doesn’t serve your health—or isn’t lawful—we don’t use it.

Peptides at Bloom 

Weight loss and metabolic support

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide (the GLP‑1/GIP class) are FDA‑approved medicines that regulate appetite and post‑meal blood sugar.

Sexual health and intimate wellness

PT‑141 (bremelanotide) can help with low sexual desire in appropriate patients.

Oxytocin may be considered as an adjunct for intimacy/stress modulation in select patients after clinical review.

Anti-Aging & Longevity

GHK‑Cu (copper peptide) topical formulations can support skin quality and collagen. We pair medical‑grade topicals with a skin plan like RF microneedling, peels, and skincare when appropriate.

BPC-157 — A synthetic peptide fragment studied for GI lining support and soft-tissue recovery (tendons/ligaments); human data remain limited.

Weight Loss & Metabolic Support

Sermorelin — A synthetic analog of GHRH that signals the pituitary to release growth hormone, often discussed for sleep, body composition, and recovery support.

Ipamorelin — A selective GH secretagogue (ghrelin-receptor agonist) designed to trigger physiologic GH pulses with fewer off-target effects than older agents.

How do I get started?

• Consult and labs – We map symptoms and goals, review meds, and order targeted labs when needed.

• Right‑fit selection – If a peptide‑based therapy truly benefits you we’ll use it. If not, we won’t.

• Start low, go smart – Clear dosing plan, side‑effect coaching, and practical lifestyle supports.

• Quality sourcing – FDA‑approved medications when available; otherwise, vetted pharmacies with documented controls.

• Follow‑up and outcomes – Check‑ins every 4–12 weeks to adjust based on response, labs, and life.

Who’s a candidate?

Adults with clear goals (metabolic health, sexual wellness, skin quality, recovery) and no contraindications after screening. Certain conditions/medications may exclude specific therapies—we’ll review this together.

Safety

Many peptide therapies are off‑label. They’re not for those pregnant or nursing, and may be inappropriate with certain cancers, clotting history, uncontrolled hypertension, significant organ disease, or untreated endocrine disorders. We avoid research‑only or unverified sources. Your safety comes first.
