Center for Advanced Urology – Moorestown, NJ

Peptide therapy has become one of the most promising new tools in sexual health, hormone balance, injury recovery, metabolic health, and longevity medicine. At the Center for Advanced Urology, we use data-driven, physician-guided peptide protocols to help patients improve libido, energy, recovery, and overall vitality.

WHAT ARE PEPTIDES?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers inside the body. They bind to specific cell receptors and trigger targeted biological responses related to:

• Sexual function and arousal

• Hormone production

• Tissue repair

• Metabolism and mitochondrial health

• Mood and stress regulation

• Collagen production and skin health

WHY DELIVERY ROUTE MATTERS

Different peptides absorb through different pathways. Choosing the right delivery route affects bioavailability, onset time, receptor access, and clinical response.

1. TROCHE (SUBLINGUAL MELT)

Troches dissolve under the tongue and enter through mucosal circulation.

PT-141 Troche:

• Stimulates melanocortin-4 receptors

• Enhances libido and sexual arousal

• Useful for men and women

Oxytocin Troche:

• Supports mood, bonding, parasympathetic tone

• Helps with stress-related libido decline

2. NASAL SPRAY PEPTIDES

Nasal delivery provides rapid access to the brain.

Semax / Selank:

• Influence BDNF, dopamine, and GABA pathways

• Improve focus, anxiety, and stress resilience

Oxytocin Nasal:

• Rapid onset for stress reduction and emotional calm

3. TOPICAL PEPTIDE CREAMS AND GELS

Topical peptides target skin and local tissue.

GHK-Cu:

• Boosts collagen and elastin

• Improves skin tone and firmness

• Enhances wound healing

Topical Oxytocin:

• Used in pelvic protocols for sexual pain

4. INJECTABLE PEPTIDES

Injectables offer the highest bioavailability.

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin:

• Stimulate growth hormone pulsatility

• Improve body composition, sleep, and cellular repair

BPC-157:

• Supports tendon, ligament, muscle, and gut repair

• Reduces inflammation

TB-500:

• Enhances tissue regeneration

• Complements BPC-157

MOTS-C:

• Mitochondrial peptide activating AMPK

• Improves metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and exercise tolerance

THE SCIENCE BEHIND PEPTIDE ACTION

• MC4R activation → libido and arousal (PT-141)

• cAMP → IGF-1 and growth hormone signaling (CJC/Ipamorelin)

• WNT activation → tissue healing (BPC-157)

• ECM remodeling → collagen formation (GHK-Cu)

• AMPK activation → metabolic efficiency (MOTS-C)

PEPTIDES AND SEXUAL HEALTH

For Men:

• Erectile dysfunction

• Low libido

• Performance anxiety

• Poor recovery

• Post-prostate treatment dysfunction

For Women:

• Perimenopause and menopause symptoms

• Low arousal

• Stress-related desire changes

• Sexual pain

• Fatigue and mood changes
