Peptides: Read This First
Peptides are short chains of amino acids. They may be from two to fifty. These short chains are linked by chemical bonds, AKA peptide bonds. Peptides are made by your body naturally.
But what do peptides do for your body? The answer is that they can do a variety of important things for you. It all depends on their class.
Scientific studies have found that peptides may have multiple benefits for you, including with your skin, your weight, and even your muscles.
In Beverly Hills, RWA Center has a wide selection of peptides that may be beneficial to the patient. These peptides have all been demonstrated in scientific testing to be safe because they all naturally occur within the human body. Patients interested in getting such peptides must first have a consultation with one of our medical providers and receive a careful exam of their past medical history, along with an overview of the patient’s health and wellness goals. When one of these medical professionals finishes accurately assessing which peptides might be most beneficial to the patient, then the process can begin. The consultation costs $250.
Peptides come in many different varieties which may benefit people in different ways.
Some examples include Melanotan II, which provides a protective mechanism against UV rays. There is also BPC 157, which promotes wound healing, but especially in the digestive tract.
PNC 27 has been called the “anti-cancer peptide.” This is because it has the ability to target and damage the membranes of cancer cells. DSIP can help with pain management and substance withdrawal.
MK-677, or Ibutamoren, may increase the secretion of growth hormone. Cerebrolysin is a tiny peptide that can promote the health of neurons in the brain and protect them from damage.
iRGD is a peptide that can make tumors more vulnerable to chemotherapy and other treatments. PT-141 and Selank do work in the brain. The peptide Semax may help improve memory and attention. There’s also a Semax and Selank 50:50 combo that combines the two peptides so the patient can receive the benefits of both.
NAD+ is a key coenzyme that helps with multiple metabolic functions. Kisspeptin influences testosterone levels while Pentosan Polysulfate is a peptide used for relief from osteoarthritis.
Met-Enkephalin is a peptide that acts as a neurotransmitter. Semaglutide is known to reduce body weight and body fat mass through reduced appetite and a lowered food intake. It also reduces insulin secretion.
Those are just some ideas of the many useful benefits of peptides!

A NAD+ IV infusion typically takes between 2 to 4 hours to complete. The duration can vary depending on the dosage and the individual’s tolerance to the infusion rate. Some people may prefer a slower infusion to minimize potential side effects like nausea or discomfort, which can extend the session time. It’s usually administered in a medical or wellness clinic under professional supervision.
Experiences during a NAD+ IV infusion can vary from person to person. Some people report feeling a warming sensation or slight pressure at the infusion site. Others may experience mild discomfort, like nausea, headaches, or a sense of tightness in the chest, especially if the infusion rate is too fast. The effects can differ based on individual sensitivity and the rate of the infusion.
Each peptide is different, with dosages that can vary from person to person. In general, a vial of any peptide can last about 3-4 weeks. During the consultation, our provider will address dosing and how long the specific peptide will last for you.
No, our providers will address all your questions and concerns with you before your first appointment. Please eat and drink as normal.
In Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) with ozone therapy, a “pass” refers to the process of drawing a certain amount of blood from the patient, infusing it with a precise concentration of ozone gas, and then reinfusing the ozonated blood back into the patient’s body. Each pass represents one complete cycle of this process. In the context of multi-pass ozone therapy, multiple passes (or cycles) are performed during a single session to increase the therapeutic effects. For example, in a 10-pass ozone therapy, the process of drawing blood, ozonating it, and reinfusing it is repeated ten times. This technique is often used to enhance the oxygenation of blood, boost the immune system, and support overall healing. The number of passes used can vary based on the specific treatment goals and the patient’s condition.
The number of ozone passes you can do during a Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) session typically depends on your health status, treatment goals, and the protocol our provider will recommend during your initial visit. In your first visit, you can have 1, 2 or 3 passes of ozone therapy.
To receive more than 3 passes, our provider will have the G6PD test performed by a blood test. The results will indicate whether your G6PD enzyme activity is within the normal range, or if you have a deficiency.
The decision on the number of passes should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider, who will consider your individual needs and how your body responds to the therapy. Some patients may gradually increase the number of passes over time as their tolerance improves.
The amount of ozone administered in each pass during ozone therapy can vary depending on the specific treatment protocol and the patient’s needs. Generally, approximately 14,000μg of ozone is administered in each pass.
Each pass of ozone can take approximately 7-10 minutes, this varies from person to person.
A G6PD test measures the activity of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in your blood. This enzyme is crucial for the proper functioning of red blood cells, helping them to protect against oxidative damage. People with G6PD deficiency have lower levels of this enzyme, which can lead to the destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis) when they are exposed to certain triggers, such as certain foods, medications, or infections.The G6PD test is particularly important before undergoing treatments like ozone therapy or high-dose vitamin C therapy. These treatments can increase oxidative stress, which may be harmful to individuals with G6PD deficiency, potentially leading to hemolytic anemia.
