Peptides
Advanced Peptide
Therapies.
Medical-grade peptide protocols for recovery, vitality, cognitive health, and total wellness — prescribed and supervised by Barbara Kulik, MSN, FNP-BC, NP-C.
Important Notice: All peptide therapies offered through BotoxBarb require a completed telemedicine consultation and medical clearance from Barb N.P. before your order is fulfilled. You may place your order only after your consult is complete and clearance is confirmed. These therapies are prescribed within an established patient-provider relationship in compliance with applicable telehealth regulations.
The Process
How Peptide Therapy Works at BotoxBarb
Begin Your Consultation
Schedule a private 1:1 telemedicine visit with Barb N.P. We'll review your health history, labs, and goals to determine the right protocol for your body.
Your Personalized Protocol
Your plan is designed with clinical intention — peptides, dosing, and timing selected specifically for your metabolism, energy, and long-term results. Not a template. Yours.
Remote Monitoring + Ongoing Support
Your care doesn't stop after your consult. Barb provides continuous telemonitoring — tracking your response, reviewing labs, and adjusting your protocol as your body evolves.
Start Your Peptides
Once approved, you are ready to start your protocol. Ongoing clinical support continues throughout — because this is a plan, not a purchase.
Why Medical Clearance Is Required
As a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner, Barb is legally required to establish a valid patient-provider relationship before prescribing any therapeutic peptide. The telemedicine consult creates this relationship, allows Barb to review your complete health history, screen for contraindications, and ensure the right peptide and dose for your specific situation. This is the same model used by leading telehealth platforms like Hims, Ro, and all legitimate compounding pharmacies. Your order is held securely and ships as soon as clearance is confirmed — often within 24 hours of your consult.
Our Protocols
All Available Peptide Therapies
Vitality & Growth Hormone
Growth Hormone Support & Anti-Aging
Sermorelin
Sermorelin is a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analog that stimulates your pituitary gland to naturally produce and release more human growth hormone (HGH). Unlike synthetic HGH, Sermorelin works with your body's natural regulatory system — stimulating GH in natural pulses the way your body was designed to work.
What It Does
- Stimulates natural growth hormone production from the pituitary
- Improves sleep quality and promotes deeper REM sleep
- Increases energy levels and reduces fatigue
- Supports lean muscle tone and reduces body fat over time
- Improves skin elasticity and overall appearance
- Enhances cognitive function and mental clarity
Best For
- Adults experiencing declining energy or fatigue
- Poor sleep quality or disrupted sleep cycles
- Reduced muscle mass with age
- Body composition improvements
- Anti-aging and longevity optimization
- Those seeking GH support without synthetic HGH
Onset of Effects: Week 2–4: Improved sleep and energy · Month 2–3: Improved body composition and skin · Month 4+: Sustained GH optimization and recovery benefits.
Contraindications: Active malignancy, history of pituitary tumor. Barb will screen all candidates during your required consult.
Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates GH release without triggering cortisol or prolactin — making it one of the cleanest and best-tolerated GH peptides available. Often paired with Sermorelin for amplified results.
What It Does
- Selectively increases natural GH release
- Does not raise cortisol or prolactin levels
- Improves body composition — fat loss and lean muscle
- Enhances sleep depth and recovery
- Supports bone density and joint health
- Anti-aging effects at the cellular level
Best For
- Clean GH optimization without side effects
- Athletes seeking recovery and body recomposition
- Those who've had cortisol or mood issues with other GH peptides
- Stacking with Sermorelin for enhanced GH pulse
- Anti-aging protocols
- Sleep quality and recovery improvement
Onset of Effects: Week 1–2: Improved sleep quality · Week 3–4: Increased energy and recovery speed · Week 6–8: Noticeable improvements in body composition and skin. Note: Not for WADA-tested athletes (banned under Section S2).
GHRP-2
GHRP-2 is a potent growth hormone secretagogue that amplifies GH pulse output and also increases appetite — making it especially effective for those focused on lean mass building and overall GH optimization. Often combined with Ipamorelin or Sermorelin for synergistic results.
What It Does
- Strongly amplifies natural GH release
- Increases appetite — beneficial for lean mass building
- Supports muscle repair and recovery
- Improves sleep quality and metabolic function
- Reduces body fat when combined with exercise
- Supports IGF-1 production for anti-aging effects
Best For
- Lean muscle building and bulking goals
- Hard gainers or those with low appetite
- Stacking with Ipamorelin for maximum GH output
- Post-injury muscle rebuilding
- Strength and performance support
- GH optimization alongside body composition goals
Important: GHRP-2 may increase cortisol and prolactin at higher doses — Barb will calibrate your dose carefully. Cycle off periods recommended to avoid receptor desensitization. Not for WADA-tested athletes.
Cellular Energy & Longevity
NAD+ & Cellular Optimization
NAD+
What It Does
- Fuels cellular energy production (ATP synthesis)
- Activates sirtuins — longevity genes linked to aging
- Repairs DNA damage and improves mitochondrial function
- Enhances cognitive function, focus, and mental clarity
- Supports metabolic health and insulin sensitivity
- Reduces fatigue and improves overall vitality
Best For
- Chronic fatigue and low energy
- Brain fog or cognitive decline
- Anti-aging and longevity optimization
- Post-illness recovery (long COVID, etc.)
- Anyone over 40 — NAD+ declines significantly with age
- Metabolic dysfunction and weight management support
Cognitive Health & Mood
Brain Performance, Sleep & Emotional Wellness
Semax
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from ACTH that has been extensively studied for cognitive enhancement, neuroprotection, and mood regulation. Originally developed in Russia for stroke recovery and cognitive decline, it has gained significant interest for its ability to enhance focus, memory, and mental clarity in healthy individuals.
What It Does
- Enhances focus, memory, and cognitive processing speed
- Increases BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor)
- Provides neuroprotective effects against oxidative stress
- Improves mood and reduces mental fatigue
- Supports recovery from neurological stress
- May improve motivation and executive function
Best For
- Brain fog and cognitive decline
- High-performance cognitive demands
- Post-illness neurological recovery
- Anxiety with cognitive impairment
- Age-related memory concerns
- Those seeking a clean cognitive edge
Selank
Selank is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring human immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. Developed as an anxiolytic, it provides calming effects without sedation — reducing anxiety while simultaneously improving cognitive clarity and focus. Often described as a calm, clear-headed alertness without the fog of traditional anti-anxiety medications.
What It Does
- Reduces anxiety and stress without sedation
- Improves cognitive function alongside mood regulation
- Modulates serotonin, dopamine, and GABA pathways
- Enhances memory formation and learning
- Supports immune function through tuftsin analog activity
- Non-habit forming — no withdrawal effects
Best For
- Generalized anxiety and stress
- Cognitive performance under pressure
- Those sensitive to or avoiding traditional anxiolytics
- Mood regulation and emotional resilience
- Pairing with Semax for cognitive + calm
- Sleep onset anxiety
DSIP
DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide) is a naturally occurring neuropeptide that modulates sleep architecture, stress response, and hormonal balance. It promotes deeper, more restorative delta-wave sleep without the dependence or grogginess associated with traditional sleep aids.
What It Does
- Promotes delta-wave (deep) sleep naturally
- Reduces cortisol and normalizes stress hormones
- Modulates LH, GH, and other pituitary hormones
- Improves sleep onset without grogginess
- Supports adrenal recovery and stress resilience
- Non-habit forming — no withdrawal or dependence
Best For
- Insomnia and disrupted sleep patterns
- Adrenal fatigue and chronic stress
- Hormonal imbalances related to sleep disruption
- Those seeking drug-free sleep support
- Stacking with Sermorelin for maximum GH + sleep
- Perimenopause-related sleep disturbances
