Peptides are biological compounds made from short chains of amino acids.  Amino acids combine to form proteins in your body.  Peptides bind to receptors on the cell surface and tell other cells and molecules what to do, like tiny messengers that deliver instructions to your cells to perform certain processes.  Peptides are very specific which makes them safe, well tolerated, and more importantly, allow them to control and influence how our bodies react to physical exercise and diet.

Peptides are now the number one method for anti-aging and wellness because they occur naturally within the body allowing them to be effective with very few side effects. As we age, our levels of essential amino acids and growth hormone start to decline causing multiple deficiencies. Peptides work to stimulate your body’s natural production of growth hormone. They have the potential to rewrite bodily chemistry relationships to help with hormone balance.  From ultimate health optimization to treating chronic diseases, there is virtually nothing they cannot treat or fix.

Why are Peptides important as tools for rejuvenative healing?

Peptides are a widely variable group of molecules that serve many purposes and functions in the human body.

They typically exert one or more effects, and impact one or more biological systems within the human body – and our bodies regularly produce them over the course of our lives.  However, as we age, change our diets, experience mental and physical energies, and are exposed to different environments, our bodies down-regulate our natural peptide production.  As a result, our cellular processes become increasingly efficient.

When you start adding peptides back into your regimen – whether using naturally-derived peptides or man-made sequences, you can unlock the body’s ability to heal itself on a cellular level

What can Peptides be used for?

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

You can also gain lean muscle, slow down aging, strengthen the immune system, increase IQ, lose stubborn body fat, and treat major diseases such as chronic inflammation, Alzheimer’s, traumatic brain injury, and much more!

What can you expect after using Therapeutic Peptides

Dramatic physiologic change from speeding the rate of healing in soft tissue traumas like sprains, strains and or ligament or tendon tears, to increasing both short- and long-term memory, to reducing body fat and building lean muscle tissue, therapeutic peptides are the current and future of medicine.

Because peptides tend to mimic our natural cellular behavior, emerging science shows us that they likely have the potential to offer targeted treatments with fewer side effects, in large part due to the dosing.

CJC 1295

A synthetically produced peptide, CJC 1295 was originally made to treat diseases, but has been discovered to have performance-enhancing effects that appeal to athletes. The peptide works by increasing protein synthesis and insulin-like growth factor levels. This process enables muscle tissue to grow, thereby increasing muscle mass and function.  It can help individuals over the age of 30 to have more energy, a faster metabolism, and stay in better shape as you age.

CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are typically combined in therapy because they are known to work well together. CJC-1295 takes anywhere from 1-4 hours to reach peak serum in the blood, while Ipamorelin works much quicker. Ipamorelin is cleared from the body more rapidly as its half-life is about 2 hours. The combination of both peptides ensures a rapid onset with Ipamorelin and lasting effects with CJC-1295. These 2 peptides are incredibly specific at increasing growth hormone levels when compared to other peptides. 

Other peptide can increase levels of cortisol (as seen with stress, can increase hunger) but neither Ipamorelin nor CJC-1295 influence other hormones which is a great advantage.

CJC 1295 is a subcutaneous injection best used right before bed and most often in combination with another peptide.

Some benefits of CJC 1295 include:

Ipamorelin

Ipamorelin Acetate is a Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide (GHRP) that stimulates the pituitary gland within the body to release natural growth hormone (GH). Ipamorelin Acetate is a pentapeptide composed of five amino acids and has a biological half-life of 2 hours after administration. It is widely known for being able to suppress somatostatin or growth inhibiting hormone.

As we age, our hormone levels fluctuate interfering with patient’s overall quality of life. Imbalances can result in loss of energy, increased irritability, sleeplessness, memory problems, and low sex drive. Utilizing peptide therapy separately or in conjunction with hormone replacement may restore optimal hormone levels. Studies suggest that Ipamorelin Acetate did not affect FSH, LH, Prolactin, or TSH levels. Furthermore, Ipamorelin did not seem to have an impact on cortisol and ACTH levels during GHRH stimulation.

CJC and Ipamorelin work together to stimulate the pituitary for optimized growth hormone production. By combining CJC-1295 with Ipamorelin, more receptors are activated which leads to increased growth hormones output.  Add IGF-1 to this combo for maximum benefit!

Patient Benefits Over Time May Include:

Sermorelin

Sermorelin is a peptide that helps your pituitary gland produce more HGH naturally. These injections can reverse or stop many issues that develop due to HGH deficiency. Sermorelin Acetate is a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) that stimulates the pituitary gland to produce and release HGH. Sermorelin Acetate mimics the effects of HGH, but tells the pituitary gland in the body to produce HGH naturally. This means that Sermorelin will have similar effects of HGH, but without the side effects and cost.

Sermorelin therapy benefits include:

Sermorelin therapy is typically administered subcutaneously right before bed. Results are typically seen 90 to 180 days after starting the Sermorelin Acetate protocol. After six months you should have seen or felt most of the benefits listed above. The first week of your Sermorelin protocol you should notice an increased quality of sleep. You will wake up feeling well rested, and may notice your afternoon crash is gone. Many patients report that they are not waking up in the middle of the night anymore. The next benefit that patients report comes at about two weeks, and is quicker recovery from workouts. You should feel less sore the day after working out and can extend your workouts in the gym because you are sleeping better and have more energy.

Within a month you’ll notice more mental clarity and less fatigue. Patients state that they feel more focused and have less brain fog. As time goes on your body will become leaner and you will notice your percentage of body fat dropping. You will be stronger in the weight room and have more cardiovascular endurance for physical activities. Other benefits seen along the way include improved skin tone and elasticity, making you appear younger and healthier.

Tesamorelin

Tesamorelin is a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog that has been shown to increase growth hormone and IGF-1 levels. It is an injectable peptide that generates greater natural production of HGH (Human Growth Hormone). It binds and stimulates human GHRH receptors with similar potency as our own natural GHRH.

Benefits of Tesamorelin:

AOD 9604

Peptide AOD 9604, or commonly known as the fat-burning peptide has a natural ability to burn fat and help your body increase its weight loss. AOD injections help stimulate the pituitary gland without having harmful effects on your blood sugar, like some obesity medications can.

AOD 9604 can:

And decreases the growth of new fat that surrounds the fat cells, which helps the body gain more significant weight loss.

Peptide AOD 9604 has also been seen to help bone and cartilage repair, osteoarthritis, and even hypercholesterolemia. AOD 9604’s strong fat burning capacity doesn’t create any overheating, and even stimulates lipolysis (which is referred to as the breakdown or the destruction of body fat). It’s thermogenetic effects don’t even increase appetite, which is a huge plus.

The research hypothesis was proven in animals since the peptide had a significant impact on fat loss. AOD 9604 is known to have an excellent safety profile with the effects seen after only 12 weeks.

BPC-157

Body protecting compound (BPC-157) is a pentadecapeptide made up of 15 amino acids. It is a partial sequence of the body protection compound (BPC) derived from human gastric juice. Experiments have shown that it heightens the healing of many different types of tissues, including: tendon, muscle, nervous system, and is superior at healing damaged ligaments.

Patients who suffer from discomfort due to sprains, tears, and tissue damage may benefit from treatment with this peptide as it can increase blood flow back to the injured sites. BPC-157 may protect organs, prevent stomach ulcers, and heal skin burns.

Patient Benefits Over Time May Include:

PT-141

PT-141 was developed from the peptide Melanotan 2, which is a synthetically produced variant of a peptide hormone naturally produced in the body that stimulates melanogenesis that is known as alpha- Melanocyte stimulating hormone. PT-141 has been shown in studies to provide libido-enhancing effects by activating the melanocortin receptors MC1R and MC4R, without tanning the skin.

PT-141 is a potential remedy for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction and male erectile dysfunction. Studies have shown that PT-141 does not act on the vascular system, but may increase sexual desire through the nervous system.

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) analog. GLP-1 is a hormone produced in the small intestine that stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion, thereby lowering blood sugar. Studies show that semaglutide reduces appetite, improves control of eating, and reduces food cravings in addition to improving glycemic control.

Why Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a breakthrough treatment for people who struggle with serious, chronic weight management challenges. First isolated as an effective diabetes drug, this insulin-boosting medication is now available to patients who need to lose a significant amount of weight in a consistent way and achieve results long-term. This treatment method doesn’t rely on stimulants, harmful crash diets, unsustainable exercise plans, or any other mechanism that can jeopardize the patient’s overall health.

Excess weight is largely a result of eating habits but with busy lifestyles, everyday stress and modern food supply; not to mention hormones and genetics, it seems we are set up to fail.  Semaglutide helps control appetite and cravings, setting you up for success.
