PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a peptide that works directly on the central nervous system to increase sexual desire and arousal in both men and women. Unlike Viagra or Cialis which increase blood flow, PT-141 acts on melanocortin receptors in the brain to stimulate the neurological pathways responsible for sexual motivation and desire.

What Is PT-141 ?

PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a peptide that works directly on the central nervous system to increase sexual desire and arousal in both men and women. Unlike Viagra or Cialis which increase blood flow, PT-141 acts on melanocortin receptors in the brain to stimulate the neurological pathways responsible for sexual motivation and desire.

Administration

PT-141 is administered via subcutaneous injection, typically 45–60 minutes before desired effect. All protocols are supervised by Dr. Dan Solomon, MD and require a clinical intake. Individual peptide pricing: $299 per vial.

Who Is PT-141 For?

  • Men experiencing low libido not resolved by TRT alone
  • Men and women with reduced desire from stress, hormonal changes, or medications
  • Patients who want to address desire - not just physical function

Quick answers to questions you may have

Can PT-141 be used with TRT?

Yes – and it often works best in combination. TRT addresses hormonal foundation while PT-141 targets the neurological desire pathway. PERFORMANCE program members may have it included as one of their monthly peptides.
