Peptides

Peptides are chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, and function like hormones. They are chemical messengers that deliver specific instructions to cells in our body. The outer surfaces of our cells are covered with receptors, unique “keyholes” that only certain peptides and hormones can unlock and activate. When a peptide with the right shape and size binds to its corresponding receptor, it unlocks the cell and initiates a change or action.

CJC-1295 with Ipamorelin is a combined peptide that mimics the effects of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) in the body. It works by increasing growth hormone production while you sleep. It is taken by subcutaneous injection five days per week.

​​​​​​​Potential benefits of CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin include:

• Increased lean muscle mass and strength
• Reduced body fat • Improved bone density
• Better sleep quality & duration
• Faster healing and recovery from injury
• Increased skin elasticity and appearance
• Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles in the skin
• Increased sexual function and libido When used for healing and recovery,

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin has been shown to work exceptionally well when combined with the peptide BPC-157. This is thought to occur because BPC-157 increases growth hormone receptors at the site of injury while stimulating the growth of new blood vessels.

Mk-677 is a non-peptide medication used to increase growth hormone levels in the body. It was developed as a potential treatment for conditions such as growth hormone insufficiency, obesity, and loss of muscle mass. Mk-677 activates ghrelin receptors, which influence appetite growth hormone production within the body. It is taken by mouth daily, in the form of a capsule.

Potential benefits of Mk-677 include:

• Increased lean muscle mass and strength
• Improved sleep quality
• Increased appetite
• Increased bone mineral density
• Improved skin elasticity and appearance
• Less fine lines and wrinkles
• Faster healing and recovery from strenuous activity and injury
• Improved mood and cognitive function

BPC-157 is a peptide that is under investigation for its therapeutic effects. It was originally isolated from a protein found in human gastric juice and is taken orally or by injection. BPC-157 is believed to work by activating the body's natural healing processes. It is thought to stimulate the release of molecules that promote the growth of new cells and tissue, as well as the production of substances that protect against inflammation and tissue damage.

BPC-157 injections can have several benefits, including:

• Faster healing from injuries, especially in tendons, ligaments, and bone

• Enhanced action circulating growth hormone

• Reduction in pain, swelling, and inflammation

• Stimulated growth of new blood vessels

• Faster post-operative healing

When used for healing and recovery, BPC-157 has been shown to work exceptionally well when used in combination with the peptide combination CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin. This is thought to be due to BPC-157's tendency to increase the concentration of growth hormone receptors in damaged tissues. Therefore, increased levels of circulating growth hormone could accelerate the healing process exactly where the body needs it most.

​​​​​​​When taken by mouth in capsule form, BPC-157 can reduce gut inflammation and promote healing of the gut lining. This may be especially beneficial to individuals living with Crohn’s Disease, diverticulitis, and ulcerative colitis. It has also been shown to protect against gastric ulcers. Notably, those who have recently undergone a colonoscopy (especially with polyp removal) or gastric bypass surgery may benefit from oral BPC-157's ability to promote healing.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a powerful antioxidant found in all living cells. It plays a crucial role in cellular metabolic reactions. These reactions produce ATP, which allows energy to be produced and used by the cells. It is taken twice weekly by subcutaneous injection.

NAD+ has several reported benefits, including:

• Increasing drive and daytime energy

• Improving focus and cognitive function

• Alleviating symptoms of depression and low mood

• Regenerating damaged DNA

• Strengthening immunity and inflammation response

• Protecting against oxidative stress and cellular damage

• Enhancing mitochondrial function and energy production

• Supporting healthy aging and longevity.

​​​​​​​Overall, NAD+ plays a vital role in maintaining cellular health and function. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age. Supplementing with NAD+ injections can be beneficial in optimizing physical and mental health.

Epitalon is a modified version of a natural enzyme called telomerase. This enzyme is important for maintaining the health and function of our cells. Epitalon is thought to work by activating telomerase, which can help to maintain the length and integrity of telomeres. Telomeres are the protective caps on the ends of our chromosomes that shorten as we age. By maintaining telomeres, Epitalon may support healthy aging and longevity. It is currently being studied in clinical trials for its potential use in treating agerelated diseases. It is taken by subcutaneous injection.

Epitalon has several potential benefits, including:

• Supporting healthy aging and longevity by maintaining telomere length and function

• Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress

• Lowering metabolic age

• Supporting immune function and cellular health

• Enhancing energy production and mitochondrial function

• Improving skin health and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Dihexa is a peptide that has been studied for its potential benefits in treating neurodegenerative disorders and promoting brain health. It is seven times more potent than brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is important for sustaining long term memory and supporting the growth and repair of nerve cells in the brain. It is taken daily in the form of a capsule

Dihexa has several potential benefits, including:

• Stimulating the growth and differentiation of nerve cells in the brain

• Protecting nerve cells from damage and promoting their survival

• Enhancing blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain

• Improving learning and long-term memory

• Reducing cognitive decline

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Dihexa is being studied in clinical trials for its potential use in treating Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Glutathione is a small protein found in every cell in the body. It is made up of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. Glutathione plays a crucial role in maintaining cell health and protecting from damage. Glutathione levels in the body can be negatively impacted by poor diet, chronic stress, and lack of adequate sleep. It is taken weekly by intramuscular injection.

Glutathione has several potential benefits, including:

• Reducing fatigue during strenuous activity

• Lowering levels of inflammation in the body

• Improving cognitive function and memory

• Maintaining healthy skin appearance and reducing wrinkles and fine lines

• Supporting immune system response and function

Research suggests that low levels of glutathione have been linked to increased risk of certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases, as well as impaired immune function and systemic inflammation.
