Peptide Therapy for Men
Hormonal balance plays a critical role in keeping your body in top shape. But by the time men reach their forties, their HGH levels can drop by nearly 50%, leading to noticeable changes in energy, muscle mass, and overall vitality.
Stress only adds to these challenges, which further declines your physical performance and well-being. Peptide therapy offers a natural solution to counter these effects, helping restore balance and boost your body’s ability to heal, recover, and thrive.
Totality Men offers peptide therapy to help you feel your best. We offer a 12-month peptide program and à la carte treatments tailored to your needs. And since your well-being is our top priority, we use peptides sourced only from registered compounding pharmacies.
Peptide Therapy for Better Body Composition
Totality Men has developed two peptide therapies to help improve your body composition, decrease body fat, and boost overall wellness.
Sermorelin Therapy
Cycle: 3 months on / 1 month off
Sermorelin is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone, or GHRH, and stimulates the production of natural growth hormone in your body. It’s generally a safer and more effective alternative to traditional testosterone replacement therapy.
Benefits:
- Enhanced body composition
- Increased muscle mass and strength
- Faster recovery from injuries
- Improved bone health
- Anti-aging effects
- Reduced body fat
- Cardiac tissue repair
- Better sleep regulation
Sermorelin is typically well-tolerated, with rare side effects such as facial flushing, redness, swelling, pain or irritation at the injection site, headaches, nausea, vomiting, or allergic reactions. It is not suitable for individuals with a history of cancer.
Lipotropic (MIC) +/- B12 Therapy
Cycle: Weekly
The MIC formula combines L-Methionine, Inositol, and Choline to promote fat breakdown and eliminate fat deposits from the liver and body.
- L-Methionine is an essential amino acid found in meats, dairy, spinach, and nuts that aids in protein building.
- Inositol, a carbohydrate found in fruits and legumes, supports fat metabolism.
- Choline, an essential nutrient produced in the liver, helps with fat breakdown but is often not made in sufficient quantities.
- Vitamin B12, found in animal products, is vital for energy metabolism, nervous system function, and red blood cell formation.
Benefits:
- Accelerates fat metabolism
- Supports liver function
- Helps eliminate stored fat deposits
- Boosts energy and metabolism
The MIC and vitamin B12 formula is also well-tolerated and has rare side effects that may include upset stomach, headaches, or mild irritation at the injection site.
Peptide Therapy for Body Recovery and Repair
As you age, the body’s recovery and repair mechanism may work as smoothly as it used to. If you want to feel your best even after hitting your forties, these peptide therapies can help.
TB-500 Therapy
Cycle: 4 Weeks
TB-500 is a synthetic peptide modeled after thymosin beta-4, which is naturally produced by the thymus gland in our body in response to injury. Researchers around the world are actively investigating how TB500 accelerates the healing process.
Benefits:
- Reduced inflammation
- Faster soft tissue repair
- Enhanced wound healing
- Reduced scar tissue formation
- Increased muscle growth and stamina
Generally well-tolerated, but TB-500 can have possible side effects like swelling, redness, pain at the injection site, lightheadedness, nausea, flu-like symptoms, or allergic reactions.
Pentadeca Arginate Therapy
Cycle: 4 weeks (500 mcg capsule daily)
Pentadeca Arginate stimulates the production of new blood vessels and fibroblasts, which is crucial for collagen synthesis. It aids in tendon-to-bone healing and healing damaged ligaments, while offering pain relief in affected areas.
Benefits:
- Faster post-injury recovery
- Enhanced wound, ligament, and bone healing
- Reduced inflammation
- Boosted energy and mood
- Improved skin and hair health
Some patients may experience potential side effects such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, elevated blood pressure, increased appetite, swelling, or irritation at the injection site.
Anti-aging Therapy/Cognitive Enhancement Therapy
With growing age, your body will experience a natural decline in cellular function and cognitive sharpness. Our anti-aging/cognitive enhancement therapies can help you slow down these effects by restoring vitality and promoting overall health.
Copper Tripeptide Therapy
Cycle: 4 weeks on / 8 weeks off
Copper Tripeptide is said to offer healing and anti-oxidative effects by binding with copper ions. This peptide supports copper metabolism, which is essential for skin repair, blood vessel regrowth, nerve regeneration, and collagen synthesis.
Benefits:
- Accelerated tissue healing
- Improved skin repair and regeneration
- Enhanced blood vessel and nerve regrowth
- Strong anti-oxidative effects
This therapy is usually well-tolerated but may have potential side effects like pain at the injection site, lightheadedness, nausea, flu-like symptoms, or allergic reactions.
GHK-Cu (Topical)
Cycle: Applied daily
GHK-Cu is a powerful peptide commonly used in anti-aging skincare and hair regrowth products. Although research is ongoing, it has shown potential in pain relief and nervous system support.
Benefits:
- Tissue healing and skin repair
- Improved skin quality and texture
- Hair regrowth
- Antioxidant and anti-anxiety effects
Considered safe as a naturally occurring substance, but possible side effects include irritation at the application site, lightheadedness, or allergic reactions.
Glutathione Therapy
Cycle: 4 weeks on / 4 weeks off
Glutathione is a tripeptide made up of three amino acids—cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. It is a powerful antioxidant found in nearly every cell in our body and brain. It protects our cells from oxidative stress. Not only that, but it also plays a vital role in enhancing immune function, reducing inflammation, and detoxifying heavy metals.
Benefits:
- Protection against oxidative damage
- Anti-aging and skin improvement
- Enhanced brain and cartilage health
- Boosted immune function and athletic performance
Glutathione is generally considered safe. However, in some cases, it may lead to side effects like flatulence, loose stools, flushing, weight gain, or irritation at the injection site.
NAD+ Therapy
Cycle: 2–3 times per week
Nicotinamide adenine nucleotide, or NAD+, has emerged as a key player in regulating cellular energy and stress response. However, NAD+ levels steadily fall as we age, leading to a decline in the function of cells and organs. Raising NAD+ levels can support your cellular health, improve organ function, and may extend lifespan.
Benefits:
- Enhanced cognitive and sensory function
- Improved metabolism and insulin sensitivity
- Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protection
- Immune system support and inflammation control
- Potential extension of fertility and lifespan
Although NAD+ therapy is well-tolerated, its potential side effects may include nausea, headache, or mild irritation at the injection site.
Peptide Therapy for Sexual Health
A busy lifestyle, chronic stress, and aging can slow down your stamina. If you haven’t been feeling your usual self with your partner, you might benefit from one of our peptide therapies.

Epigenetic Testing for DNA Methylation and Biological Age Testing:
$550 Includes DNA Methylation and Biological age testing
Methylation is one of the main pathways through which the body controls gene expression, adding methyl groups to DNA molecules. This process is crucial for regulating gene expression. Genetic methylation tests identify specific genetic variants in genes related to this process, analyzing variations in the DNA sequence that affect methylation capability. These genes do not change throughout our lifetime. Some genetic variants that can be identified are involved in the methylation cycle. The presence of certain genetic variants may influence the efficiency of methylation and the body’s ability to process B vitamins, metabolize homocysteine, synthesize neurotransmitters, and detoxify the body
