Growth Hormone Release Peptides: CJC1295/Sermorelin/Ipamorelin

As we age, endogenous production of Growth Hormone declines aggressively. In most patients, Growth Hormone and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 levels will drop 15% per decade after the age of 30. Additionally, growth hormone receptor density decreases, reducing cellular uptake of growth hormone at target cells. Decline of endogenous GH and IGF-I production can contribute to a variety of symptoms and adverse physical effects, including: Increased body fat, especially in the abdominal region, loss of muscle mass, decreased bone density, decreased muscular strength, reduced cardiovascular capacity, dry and thinning skin, loss of elasticity, atherogenic changes in cholesterol profile, fatigue and lethargy, lessened sleep quality, decreased immune response, reduced connective tissue health

What are Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides?

Growth Hormone release peptides (also known as secretagogues) are formulated amino acid-based chains that enhance the body’s natural means of growth hormone production. Unlike exogenous growth hormone, peptides are not neuro-endocrine suppressive, conversely, they improve the function of somatotrophs (GH Producing Cells) and inhibit the expression of somatostatin (GHIH). Peptides stimulate growth hormone expression in a pulsatile manner like natural growth hormone patterns prior to decline. Because peptides enhance the body’s natural neuro-endocrine function, patients receive all the benefits of GH therapy without the unwanted side effects, e.g., acromegaly, stomach distention, and elevated blood glucose.

Healing Peptides: BPC-157

BPC-157 is a healing peptide derived from proteins within the gut. BPC-157 has tremendous anti-inflammatory and healing properties that can help patients address a myriad of health concerns beyond what’s available in the traditional pharmaceutical market. It is clinically proven to upregulate collagen synthesis and angiogenesis (proliferation of vessels for improved blood flow), as well as support interleukin-I; a powerful natural anti-inflammatory enzyme. The combination of these effects can accelerate wound healing, aid in the recovery of musculoskeletal and connective tissue injuries, assist healing gastric ulcers, and reduced symptoms of IBS/IBD. BPC-157 may also improve cognitive function, provide cardiovascular protective benefits, improve production and regulation of certain neurotransmitters, and support healthy neuro-endocrine function.

Sexual Desire and Performance Peptides: PT-141 (Bremelanotide)

Bremelanotide is peptide with therapeutic application for men and women. This innovative peptide not only increases sexual desire, but increases genital stimulation and arousal for both men and women. Traditional drugs for erectile dysfunction, like Cialis and Viagra, provide vascular support allowing for patients to achieve an erection, but do nothing to augment libido. PT-141 acts directly through the nervous system to increase sexual excitation, arousal and gratification with sexual activity. It is a great option for patients looking to improve sexual performance and improve intimacy in their relationship.

Weight Loss Peptides: Glucagon-Like Peptide Analog (Semaglutide)

Semaglutide is revolutionizing weight loss and helping patients correct long term metabolic disease processes like DMII and High Cholesterol. Semaglutide regulates the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus in the brain - controlling energy expenditure and food intake and slows gastric emptying, helping reducing appetite and food cravings. It also helps regulate insulin secretion, stabilizing blood glucose levels and helping reverse insulin resistance. Semaglutide is also clinically proven to help correction of high cholesterol and reduce long-term cardiovascular disease risk.
