What is Peptide Therapy?
Let’s talk peptides.
These powerful chains of amino acids act as molecular messengers — signaling your cells to repair, regenerate, and recalibrate essential functions that often get disrupted during hormonal shifts.
Think of peptides as your body's internal command system. When functioning optimally, they tell your cells exactly what to do — whether that’s rebuilding tissue, optimizing metabolism, or supporting cognitive clarity.
At MetaPause, we integrate targeted peptide therapy into personalized protocols designed specifically for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution — it’s part of a new kind of precision care model that restores key regenerative factors to optimal levels. The result? Improved cellular efficiency, better recovery, and support for longevity systems that matter — like energy, sleep, skin, libido, and more.
Science-backed. Data-informed. Woman-designed.
Peptides are just one of the tools in ELSA’s curated toolbox — helping your body do what it was designed to do: heal, adapt, and thrive.
Peptide Therapy By Symptoms
Weight Loss
Semaglutide
(+B12, B6 or L-carnitine)
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist, and a peptide that restores metabolic function in the body. It is considered safe and even protective against risk factors like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and more. Preliminary: A 2021 study reported that postmenopausal women taking Semaglutide experienced up to a 74% reduction in moderate-to-severe hot flashes over 14 weeks.
Why We Chose It
- Aids in Weight Management
- Improves Metabolic Dysfunction
- Enhances Cardiovascular Benefits
- Improves Insulin Sensitivity
Tirzepatide
(+B12, B6 or L-carnitine)
Tirzepatide
is a GLP-1 agonist and peptide that restores metabolic function in the body by suppressing appetite through ghrelin and leptin management, slows gastric emptying and increases metabolism. Clinical studies have shown a slightly higher weight loss performance as compared to Semaglutide.
Why We Chose It
- Aids in Weight Management
- Improves Metabolic Dysfunction
- Enhances Cardiovascular Benefits
- Improves Insulin Sensitivity
Body Composition
Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin stimulates natural growth hormone production, helping reduce visceral fat, especially abdominal fat, supports lean muscle mass, improves metabolic function, and potentially enhances cognitive and tissue repair processes.
Why We Chose It
- Improves Body Composition
- Reduces Visceral Fat
- Improves Muscle Retention & Growth
- Improves Insulin Sensitivity
Sermorelin
Sermorelin is a growth hormone secretagogue that helps boost energy by boosting lipolysis (fat breakdown) and helps preserve lean muscle mass, both of which improve metabolic efficiency. A better metabolism means more available energy throughout the day.
Why We Chose It
- Improves Body Composition
- Increases Muscle Retention & Growth
Skin and Hair Health
GHK-cu
GHK-cu helps age-related skin challenges by stimulating collagen production, accelerating skin repair, improving hydration, reducing inflammation, and also supporting healthier hair growth.
Why We Chose It
- Supports Wrinkle Reduction and Skin Firming
- Provides Hair Thickening
Anti-Inflammation
BPC-157
BPC 157 has been demonstrated to promote the healing of different tissues, including skin, muscle, bone, ligament and tendon. Helps with exercise recovery and overall tissue repair.
Why We Chose It
- Helps Promote Tissue Repair Reduces Inflammation
- Reduces Joint & Muscle Pain
Cognitive Enhancement
Pinealon
Pinealon shows neuroprotective and anti-aging properties. It may help improve cognitive function, regulate the nervous system, and support the body’s natural repair processes.
Methylene Blue
Methylene Blue
shows neuroprotective and mitochondrial-supporting properties. It may help enhance cognitive function, improve cellular energy production, and support the body’s natural defense against oxidative stress.
Energy/Anti-Aging
SS-31
SS-31
is a mitochondria-protective peptide that may improve energy production, reduce oxidative damage, and support healthier aging—especially where mitochondrial dysfunction is involved.
NAD+
NAD+
plays a crucial role in cellular energy production, helping to convert nutrients into usable energy for the body. It also supports DNA repair and promotes healthy aging by enhancing cellular function and resilience.
Why We Chose It
- Improves energy level
- Enhances mitochondrial health for longevity
Sex and Vaginal Health
PT-141
PT 141
helps improve libido and increase receptors that improve arousal, sexual desire and excitability. PT-141 promotes vasodilation which sends blood flow to genital regions which can aid in achieving erections in men and enhanced sensitivity in women.
