Peptide Therapy

What are Peptides?

Peptides are the building blocks of proteins and are composed of amino acids that work to regulate a variety of biological functions and processes. These naturally occurring peptides act as signaling molecules within the body and instruct other cells and molecules on what functions to perform. Some common functions of peptides include providing pain relief, aiding in soft tissue repair, accelerating healing processes, promoting weight loss and lean muscle gain, reversing symptoms of sexual dysfunction, improving hormone production and cognitive function, increase melanin for tanning, reduce signs of aging, and improve sleep quality.

Different Types of Peptides

IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1)

CATEGORY: Optimal Health

The liver produces IGF-1 to work in concert with insulin to determine what type of fuel the body uses at a given time. IGF-1 helps transfer glucose through cell membranes for growth and repair of muscle, nerve, and heart cells. Over time, if the liver becomes too fatty, production of IGF-1 suffers, putting more dependence on insulin, which can eventually lead to diabetes. Boosting the IGF-1 peptide keeps insulin balanced as well as providing a host of other benefits.

Benefits include:

Reduced body fat with enhanced fat burning
Increased muscle mass and strength
Improved energy and physical stamina
Better sleep and lower incidence of insomnia
Enhanced cognitive function
Improved calcium retention and better bone density
Improved skin elasticity
Strengthened connective tissue and

AOD9604 (Advanced Obesity Drug)

CATEGORY: Weight Management

This is a synthetic peptide fragment that comprises a modified 15 amino acid region of GH (the tail end, which burns fat). Similar to GH, AOD9604 aids in the reduction of obesity. Additionally, it does not stimulate the production of IGF-1.

Benefits include:

Promotes fat burning without affecting blood sugar or tissue growth
Prompts fat release from obese fat cells
Prevents lipogenesis (fat accumulation)
Treatment in osteoarthritis, hypercholesterolemia, bone and cartilage repair
Boosts the body’s metabolism
Less appetite stimulation

BPC 157

BPC 157, composed of 15 amino acids, is a partial sequence of body protection compounds (BPC). Experimentally it has been demonstrated to accelerate the healing of many different wounds, including tendons, muscles, nervous system, and superior healing of damaged ligaments. Those who suffer from discomfort due to muscle sprains, tears, and damage may benefit from treatment with this peptide. It can also help aid skin burns to heal faster and increase blood flow to damaged tissues.

CJC-1295

CATEGORY: Weight Management, Increased Energy, Healing, Optimal Health

CJC-1295 is a 30 amino acid peptide hormone that has shown incredibly promising results as a Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analog. CJC-1295 stimulates HGH secretion and can provide a steady increase of HGH with minimal effect on cortisol and prolactin levels. This means increased protein synthesis, thus promoting growth and fat loss simultaneously. Ipamorelin mimics ghrelin and binds to the ghrelin receptor (or GH secretagogue receptor, GHSR) in the brain, thereby selectively stimulating the release of GH from the pituitary gland. This results in increased plasma GH levels, which would affect many biological processes. Unlike other GH-releasing peptides, Ipamorelin only stimulates GH release in a manner very similar to that of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone. This combination results in a great aid for sleep, energy, stamina, and recovery benefits.

Benefits include:

Increased protein synthesis
Promotes fat burning
Improves sleep quality
Increased bone density
Accelerated injury recovery
Improved immune system
Increased protein synthesis
Increased energy
Increase in lean body mass

Ipamorelin

CATEGORY: Weight Management, Anti-Aging, Increased Energy, Optimal Health

Ipamorelin is a peptide used to help growth hormone production. Ipamorelin is composed of five amino acids that stimulate the pituitary gland to produce more growth hormone naturally. This results in increased plasma GH levels, which would affect many biological processes, such as in the gastrointestinal tract, heart, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas, adipose tissue, and immune cells. Unlike other GH releasing peptides, Ipamorelin only stimulates GH release in a manner very similar to that of growth hormone releasing hormone.

Benefits include:

Promotes fat burning
Increased collagen production
Increase in lean body mass
Improves sleep quality
Increased energy
Increased endurance
Improved cellular repair
Increased IGF-1
Counteracts glucocorticoid catabolic effects
Less appetite stimulation

Thymosin Beta-4 (TB_500)

CATEGORY: Anti-Aging, Optimal Health, Healing

Thymosin Beta-4 (TB-500) is a cell-building protein, an essential component of cell structure and movement, which assists in joint, tissue, muscle, and ligament repair. Thymosin Beta-4 plays a crucial role in protecting, regenerating, and remodeling injured or damaged tissues. Thymosin Beta-4 is released by platelets and numerous other cells to protect the most damaged cells and tissues involved in an injury. Some studies show it reduces inflammation and microbial growth.

Benefits include:

Increase in endurance and strength
Improved joint & tissue repair
Modulates immune function and inflammation
Improved chronic fatigue
Improved muscle tone

Benefits:

Anti-inflammatory
Promotes gut health
Anti-microbial
Aids with wound healing
Treats irritable bowel disease (IBD) and colon cancer

PE-22-28

CATEGORY: ANTIDEPRESSANT

PE-22-28 is a 7-amino acid peptide derived from a naturally occurring peptide known as spadin. Spadin is a peptide that blocks the TREK-1 channel. TREK-1 is present in areas of the brain that control mood, learning, and memory and is, therefore, a target for antidepressants. PE-22-28 is a research peptide undergoing evaluation for potential benefits as an antidepressant.

Benefits:

Antidepressant
Promotes growth of new neurons
Aids in stroke recovery
Defends against neurodegenerative diseases

Tesamorelin

Once Tesamorelin is inside the human body, the peptide binds to GHRH receptors to stimulate the pituitary gland into releasing growth hormone at a rate similar to the body’s naturally occurring GHRH traveling through the bloodstream. Once more growth hormone is released, it boosts metabolism and improves muscle growth, which helps to burn more calories and decrease body fat. The peptide can also help to increase insulin growth factor (IGF-1), which can help to lower glucose levels and further stimulate weight loss. As a result, Tesamorelin can help reduce visceral adipose tissue, leading to improved belly appearance, size, and waist circumference. This Peptide is often paired with the GLP-1, GIP, or Glucagon inhibitors you come to know as Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Retratrutide.

Epithalon

CATEGORY: Anti-Aging, Optimal Health, Healing

Epithalon is the synthetic version of the polypeptide Epithalamin, which is naturally produced in humans. Epitalon decreases the age-related changes in immune and neuroendocrine systems and reduces recurrent infections and chronic diseases. Some of the benefits include regulation of hormones, rejuvenation and strengthening of the immune system, and normalization of uric acid, cholesterol, and electrolyte levels.

Epitalon’s primary role is to increase the natural production of telomerase, a natural enzyme that allows for replicating our DNA so the body can grow new cells and rejuvenate old ones. Young people produce a large amount of telomerase and longer telomeres. However, as people age, the production of telomerase declines, and consequently, cell replication and health decline. This is the main reason people age.

Benefits include:

Increase human lifespan
Promote deep sleep
Delay and prevention of age-related diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and dementia
Acts as an antioxidant
Improve skin health and appearance
Healing of injured muscle cells
Restores and normalizes melatonin levels in older individuals
Can increase resistance to emotional stress

Kisspeptin

CATEGORY: REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

Kisspeptin is a peptide hormone made in the hypothalamus that controls the levels of other reproductive hormones. Kisspeptin stimulates the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).

GnRH triggers the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and stimulating hormone (FSH). These hormones play a crucial role in reproductive health as they contribute to the secretion of the sex hormones oestradiol in women and testosterone in men. Kisspeptin is also known as metastin because of its benefits in preventing the spread of cancer.

Benefits:

Promotes reproductive health
Improves male and female fertility
Helps regulate the metabolism
Regulates sexual behavior

PEG/MGF

Pegylated Mechano Growth Factor (PEG MGF) is a derived form of the IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1), which stimulates myoblasts division and allows for muscle fibers to fuse and mature. This is a process necessary for growth of adult muscle. The distinction between IGF-1 and MGF is that MGF stimulate myoblasts division through stimulation of different receptors. Research has demonstrated that PEG-MGF helps increase the muscle stem cell count, so that more may fuse and become part of adult muscle cells.

Benefits:

Decrease of fat mass of the body
Endurance increase
Improvement of immune defense and skin
Bone strengthening
Lowering of cholesterol level
Accelerated recovery

Cerebrolysin

Cerebrolysin is a multi-modal neuropeptide drug with a fast onset of action that helps to regain and maintain the independence of patients suffering from stroke, TBI, dementia and cognitive impairment. Cerebrolysin improves the brain’s ability for self-repair by stimulating neurorecovery.

FAQ's

Who is a good candidate for CJC 1295 / Ipamorelin?

CJC-1295 can help individuals over the age of 30 to have more energy, a faster metabolism, and stay in better shape as you age. It’s not a hormone itself, so it is a relatively safe and low-risk option when all things are considered. However, it requires a prescription and is delivered via an injection, so there are some important points to cover regarding the CJC-1295 benefits and side effects trade-offs.

What are the side effects of CJC1295 / Ipamorelin?

One of the biggest reasons why CJC-1295 is being embraced by so many in their anti-aging fight is because of the relatively low rate of side effects. Most people tolerate CJC-1295 quite well, and side effects are generally mild if present at all. The most frequent side effect was injection site reaction – usually skin complaints or mild pain at the site of injection.

Why combine CJC-1295 & IPAMORELIN?

CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are typically combined in therapy because the 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 it’s 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 have an effect on other hormones which is a great advantage.

How often should you take CJC-1295?

Most prescribers direct that CJC-1295 be taken once daily, via subcutaneous injection (above the muscle, below the skin) in the stomach or abdominal region. Other prescribers recommend a “5 days a week” plan, either with skipping days every 2 or 3 days, or weekdays on, weekends off for injections. There is competing evidence as to the efficacy of these two dosing regimens, but in both cases, the effects of CJC-1295 – higher circulating levels of human growth hormone – tend to last for upwards of a week following administration and continue at that level so long as the administration continues a few times a week.

Does CJC 1295 really work?

How long can you take CJC 1295?

Research has shown that administering CJC-1295 once weekly helps to increase plasma GH concentrations (2-10 times more) for a period of up to 6 days after injection. Further, it increases IGF-1 levels by 1.5 to 3 times, for a period of 9 to 11 days, with no adverse side effects.

How should CJC-1295/Ipamorelin be used?

CJC-1295/Ipamorelin is injected subcutaneously or under the skin. The injection is taken at night to mimic the natural release cycle of growth hormone.
