Peptides
The Potent Role of Peptides
Our cells communicate with each other constantly to coordinate the different functions of our body in a synchronized way.
This communication is achieved in part thanks to peptides, which can act as signaling molecules for different cellular processes.
Peptides are chains of amino acids, similar to a protein. While a protein usually has more than 100 amino acids, a peptide has between 2 and 50.
Peptides are considered biological drugs because they act as signaling molecules that inform the different organs what to do in a specific way, thus having a much more specialized effect and fewer adverse effects.
Peptides That We Offer
BPC-157
/ TB-500 / MGF
BPC-157 is a powerful healing peptide. Commonly used for musculoskeletal injuries, it’s injected locally at the site of injury where it stimulates a rapid healing response from the body. BPC-157 can also be taken orally for the treatment of gut dysbiosis, leaky gut, and food sensitivities.
TB-500 is a peptide secreted mainly by the thymus, a gland that decreases in function and size as we age. At the musculoskeletal level, this peptide stimulates muscle growth, increases collagen production, and acts as a muscle relaxant. At the neuronal level, it encourages the creation of new neurons and the survival of existing ones.
MGF is a variation of IGF-1 which enhances muscle proliferation after mechanical load or damage.
EPITALON
This peptide acts directly on the pineal gland, helping to boost endogenous melatonin production. This has the dual effect of promoting deeper sleep and restoring one’s natural circadian rhythm.
In addition to its benefits on sleep, epitalon is also perhaps the most potent peptide for longevity. It has been linked to an improvement in memory, increases the lengths of one’s telomeres, increases bone density, and improves skin elasticity. It also helps decrease insulin resistance and acts as an antioxidant in the body. Given all of its anti-aging effects, this peptide is a must for anyone serious about their anti-aging protocol.
NAD+
One of the most powerful effects of NAD+ is its effect on energy metabolism. It acts as a powerful energy source for the body’s mitochondria, which in turn provide power to the cells. For this reason many people report feeling more energized and alert after regular NAD+ treatments. In addition, NAD+ facilitates the repair of damaged DNA.
NAD+ production declines as a person ages, making NAD+ a powerful anti-aging treatment. Along with epitalon, we recommend NAD+ for anyone who wants to focus on anti-aging.ﾠ
IPAMORELIN /
TESAMORELIN /
THYMULIN / GHRP-2
Ipamorelin stimulates the pituitary gland to produce more growth hormone. Benefits include muscle growth, fat loss, and improved sleep and energy metabolism.
Tesamorelin acts similarly to Ipamorelin, stimulating the natural release of growth hormone in the body. This peptide is especially effective at stimulating fat loss, making it a popular peptide for improving body composition.
Thymulin modulates the immune system, upregulating or downregulating its activity as necessary. We added Thymulin to the Growth Blend because growth hormone production can be impaired by an over- or underactive immune system.
GHRP-2 is another growth hormone producing peptide that works synergistically with Ipamorelin and Tesamorelin.
MGF is a variation of IGF-1 which enhances muscle proliferation after mechanical load or damage.
