Hydralyfe Peptide Monitoring Panel

The Peptide Monitoring Panel is designed for patients on prescribed peptide therapy including GH secretagogues (CJC 1295/Ipamorelin), BPC-157, semaglutide, tirzepatide and other therapeutic peptides. This test tracks treatment efficacy and safety by measuring key markers of metabolic function, organ health, inflammation and hormonal response. Recommended every 8– 12 weeks to ensure safe, effective therapy under clinical supervision.

This test is for clients currently prescribed peptide therapy through Hydralyfe or an external practitioner who require regular safety monitoring. This panel satisfies the minimum clinical requirements for ongoing peptide prescribing and provides the data your clinician needs to adjust dosing, assess efficacy and monitor for adverse effects.

Thyroid & Autoimmune Panel (For Fatigue, Hair Loss, Weight Issues)

This test investigates the key markers that influence metabolism, energy, mood, weight regulation, hair health and menstrual balance. By measuring TSH, Free T4, Free T3 and Reverse T3, thyroid antibodies (TPO and TgAb), this panel identifies both functional thyroid imbalances and autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s that often go undetected in standard testing. The panel goes beyond thyroid to assess contributing factors like adrenal function, iron stores, and vitamin D. It helps uncover the root causes of fatigue, stubborn weight changes, anxiety, mood fluctuations and hair loss, enabling precise and personalised treatment planning.

Essential Nutrients Panel

This panel assesses six essential nutrients Vitamin D, Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, Folate and Vitamin B12 these play critical roles in energy, immunity, mood, metabolism, cognitive function and overall wellbeing. Vitamin D influences immune strength, hormone balance and recovery; Magnesium supports over 300 biochemical reactions including sleep, muscle function and stress regulation; Iron is vital for oxygen transport, endurance and preventing fatigue; and Vitamin B12 underpins neurological health, metabolic efficiency and red blood cell production. Testing these core markers helps identify deficiencies or suboptimal levels that may be contributing to tiredness, poor performance, low mood or reduced resilience, enabling precise, personalised optimisation of health and longevity.

Inflammation Panel

The Inflammation Test measures key biomarkers linked to systemic inflammation, immune activity and cellular stress. Elevated inflammation can contribute to fatigue, weight resistance, joint pain, hormonal disruption, gut issues and accelerated ageing. This test helps identify hidden inflammatory drivers that may be affecting energy, recovery, metabolic health and overall wellbeing, allowing for targeted treatment and lifestyle intervention. This is a standalone test to assess chronic fatigue, autoimmune concerns, or recovery issues.

Enhance your muscle-building journey

Muscle health for strength and growth relies on a combination of physical activity, proper nutrition, recovery, rest and hormonal balance. At Hydralyfe, we provide cutting-edge therapies, expert guidance, and tailored programs designed to support muscle development, improve strength, and boost overall performance.

Advanced therapies to support muscle growth

Peptides for muscle repair and growth

Peptides are powerful tools for promoting protein synthesis, reducing inflammation, and accelerating muscle recovery. They can help you build strength and maintain lean muscle mass effectively. Growth hormone-releasing peptides are known for their ability to stimulate the production of growth hormone in the body, increasing IGF-1 levels, promoting muscle growth, reducing body fat, and boosting energy levels during workouts. 

Hormone and Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)

Testosterone plays a crucial role in muscle health and physical performance. TRT is designed to optimise hormone levels, supporting muscle development, recovery, and overall vitality.

Nutrition tailored for results

Proper nutrition is the foundation of muscle growth. Partnering with expert nutritionists, we provide personalised dietary guidance to fuel your body for maximum performance, recovery and results .

Cryotherapy for recovery and performance

Cryotherapy reduces inflammation, boosts circulation, and promotes recovery after intense workouts, ensuring you’re ready to push harder in your training. 

Movement and manual therapy

Through our onsite partner, Vivelo, we offer movement and manual therapy services to improve mobility, reduce injury risks, and support physical performance.
