Advanced Peptides
Therapeutic peptide protocols
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signalling molecules in the body. Different peptides trigger different biological responses — supporting growth hormone release, tissue repair, immune function, or metabolic and sexual health.
At The T Clinic, peptide therapy is evidence-based and individually tailored to your health goals. Whether you're seeking improved recovery, anti-ageing support, performance optimisation or targeted healing — peptide protocols offer precise, targeted benefits with minimal side effects.
Every protocol is prescribed and monitored by Dr Heyns as part of a comprehensive wellness plan. Specific peptide selection is discussed in private consultation.
Prescribed & medically supervised
All peptide protocols at The T Clinic are individually prescribed by Dr Heyns, medically supervised, and sourced from SAHPRA-approved compounding pharmacies. Specific peptide selection is discussed during your private consultation, not advertised publicly.
Therapeutic Categories
What peptide therapy can support
Peptides work through different biological pathways. The category that suits you depends on what you're trying to achieve. Dr Heyns determines the right protocol at consultation.
Growth Hormone Support
Peptides that support the body's own growth hormone release for body composition, recovery, sleep quality and skin health.
Tissue Repair & Healing
Protocols that support tissue regeneration — useful for sports injuries, joint recovery, gut healing and post-surgical repair.
Immune Modulation
Peptides used clinically worldwide for immune support, chronic infection management and overall resilience.
Skin & Collagen
Compounds that support collagen production, wound healing and skin quality through gene-level activation.
Sexual Health
Therapy that supports libido and arousal through the nervous system — a different mechanism than vascular medications.
Longevity & Cellular Health
Compounds researched for telomere protection and cellular health support — the longevity end of the spectrum.
Your Treatment
How peptide therapy works
Consultation & Assessment
Your peptide programme begins with a comprehensive consultation including detailed blood work. Dr Heyns assesses your health status, goals and medical history to determine which protocol will be most effective for you.
Personalised Protocol
Based on your results, a tailored protocol is prescribed with specific dosages, timing and duration. Clear instructions are provided for self-administration — typically simple subcutaneous injection.
Treatment Phase
Most protocols run for 8–12 weeks. Peptides are typically administered daily or several times per week depending on the specific compound. The process is straightforward and easily integrated into routine.
Monitoring & Optimisation
Follow-up blood work ensures the protocol is working as intended. Dosages and combinations are adjusted based on your response and laboratory results.
Common Questions
Frequently asked
What are peptides exactly?
Peptides are naturally occurring short chains of amino acids — essentially small proteins. Your body produces many peptides that regulate critical functions. Therapeutic peptides are bioidentical or closely related to these natural compounds.
Are peptides safe?
The peptides used at The T Clinic have been extensively researched and have strong safety profiles. They work with your body's own systems rather than against them. All protocols are medically supervised with regular monitoring.
How are peptides administered?
Most are administered via simple subcutaneous injection using a very fine insulin needle. Dr Heyns and the team provide thorough training so you can self-administer comfortably at home. Some peptides are available in oral or topical forms.
How quickly will I see results?
This varies by peptide and goal. Some effects can be noticed within the first week. Tissue healing protocols typically show improvement within 2–4 weeks. Full anti-ageing and body composition benefits develop over 8–12 weeks.
Can peptides be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Peptide therapy is often most effective as part of a comprehensive programme that may include hormone optimisation, IV therapy and lifestyle modification.
Are peptides legal in South Africa?
Yes. The peptides we prescribe are legal, pharmaceutical-grade compounds obtained from SAHPRA-approved compounding pharmacies. They are prescribed by Dr Heyns as part of a supervised medical programme.
Who is a good candidate?
Peptide therapy benefits a wide range of patients — athletes seeking enhanced recovery, individuals pursuing anti-ageing support, those with chronic injuries or inflammation, or patients looking to optimise sexual health and overall vitality.
