Ipamorelin & Sermorelin in Bonita Springs, FL
A Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide Protocol for Recovery, Sleep & Body Composition
Ipamorelin and Sermorelin are growth hormone-releasing peptides that work with the body's own pituitary signaling — rather than replacing hormones directly. Used together or in sequence, they support lean muscle development, fat metabolism, deeper sleep, and recovery, built and supervised by Dr. Katherine Ortiz.

What Is Ipamorelin/Sermorelin Protocol?
Why these three together
Each peptide acts on the growth hormone pathway slightly differently, and together they're designed to support a steadier, more natural release pattern than either alone.
Sermorelin — Foundational GH stimulation A growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog that signals the pituitary to produce and release growth hormone, supporting energy, recovery, and healthy aging. → Learn about Sermorelin
Ipamorelin — Selective, low-side-effect amplifier A growth hormone secretagogue that selectively stimulates GH release without significantly affecting cortisol or appetite hormones, often paired with Sermorelin for a more complete signal. → Learn about Ipamorelin
Who Ipamorelin/Sermorelin Is For
Patients dealing with low energy, poor sleep quality, slow recovery, or age-related decline in lean muscle and body composition who want to support their body's own hormone production rather than start hormone replacement directly. Commonly used as part of a broader healthy-aging or recovery protocol, and often paired with hormone optimization plans.
Your Journey
Common questions
Is this one combined injection or two separate peptides? Protocols are individualized. Dr. Ortiz determines delivery method and whether Ipamorelin and Sermorelin are combined or rotated based on your clinical picture.
How long until I see results? Most patients report improved sleep quality and energy within a few weeks, with body composition changes typically taking longer and becoming more noticeable over 8–12 weeks of consistent use.
Can I start with just one peptide instead of both? Yes. Many patients begin with Sermorelin alone and add Ipamorelin later for a stronger or more sustained GH response. Your protocol is built around your goals, not a fixed package.
Protocol design for Ipamorelin/Sermorelin therapy starts the same way every protocol does at DNA Wellness — with a full clinical consultation and review of your labs and health history. Dr. Ortiz determines dosing, delivery method, and sequencing for both peptides based on your specific case, and monitors your response with scheduled follow-ups.
