Inflammation & Pain Peptide Stacks

Treating the Root Cause, Not Just the Symptoms

Chronic inflammation is one of the most common—and commonly overlooked—drivers of fatigue, pain, autoimmune flare-ups, and poor healing. Whether your patient is dealing with joint discomfort, post-injury recovery, or systemic inflammation, peptides can support healing at the cellular and immune level.

This stack offers a non-pharmaceutical approach that pairs well with aesthetics, weight loss, hormone therapy, or post-op recovery protocols.

Ideal Use Cases

Use this stack for patients presenting with:

  • Joint stiffness, swelling, or limited mobility
  • Muscle soreness or inflammation after workouts or injury
  • Post-surgical or post-injection inflammation
  • Generalized fatigue with suspected immune dysfunction
  • Long COVID, fibromyalgia, or autoimmune “flare” symptoms

Best suited for:

  • Active adults over 35
  • Perimenopausal or postmenopausal women
  • Men with declining testosterone or recovery issues
  • Anyone with inflammatory symptoms but normal labs

How to Position This Stack

Frame this as a restorative anti-inflammatory support program, not a replacement for acute medication. Use phrasing like:

“This stack helps your body regulate inflammation from the inside out, especially when it’s been in overdrive from stress, hormones, or recovery demands.”

“We’re not suppressing symptoms—we’re supporting your cells in returning to balance.”

  • IV Therapy: Add Glutathione IV or NAD+ push for deeper systemic relief
  • Hormone Therapy: Pair with BHRT in perimenopausal or low-testosterone patients
  • Aesthetic Services: Use post-microneedling, threads, or laser treatments to reduce downtime

Implementation Support

  • White-label patient handouts explaining the inflammation stack
  • Dosing calendars for 30- and 60-day plans
  • Protocol training for staff and injectors
