What is Peptide Therapy?
Peptides are naturally occurring in the body, appearing in every cell and tissue. Peptides signal cells in your body to act a specific way to benefit your health. Since different peptides affect different cells and cellular functions, they can be highly tailored and targeted to treat a full spectrum of health, including helping to improve body composition, energy levels, mental awareness and more! As we age, peptide activity in the body rapidly declines. Peptide therapy treatment works to restore the number of peptides in the body to stimulate optimal cellular activity. This is an advantageous therapy for any male or female who wants to feel better, recover faster and regain their youthfulness.
Benefits of Peptide Therapy Include:
- Improved overall metabolic function
- Increased lean tissue growth
- Reduction of fat tissue
- Accelerated injury recovery
- Decreased joint & muscle pain
- Improved quality of sleep
- Enhanced cognitive function & awareness
- Increased energy levels
- Improved cardiovascular conditioning
- Stronger immune function
- Reduced inflammation levels
Sermorelin
Classified as a Growth Hormone Secretagogue, this peptide focuses on promoting the secretion of Growth Hormone by the Pituitary Gland. By increasing Growth Hormone levels, Sermorelin indirectly promotes the production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in the liver, which is responsible for many of the growth-promoting effects of Growth Hormone. Sermorelin is an excellent Peptide for a longevity, anti-aging approach.
- Increased lean tissue growth
- Decreased body fat
- Improved quality of sleep
- Increased bone density
- Improved insulin sensitivity
- Improved energy levels
- Improved cognitive function and awareness
- Stronger immune system
Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin is an FDA approved GHRH peptide that is known for helping to reduce visceral adiposity and fat tissue in the mid-section. Similar to Sermorelin, this peptide is administered through subcutaneous injection. Tesamorelin increases Growth Hormone levels, increasing IGF-1 which produces growth promoting effects in almost every cellular system in the body. Growth Hormone can have a role in a number of metabolic effects. It can stimulate the breakdown of fats (lipolysis), increase protein synthesis, and regulate glucose metabolism.
- Increased lean tissue growth
- Decreased body fat
- Decreased Visceral Fat
- Improved quality of sleep
- Increased bone density
- Improved insulin sensitivity
- Improved energy levels
- Improved cognitive function and awareness
- Stronger immune system
5 Amino 1 MQ
5-Amino-1MQ is believed to work by inhibiting the activity of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). NNMT is an enzyme that plays a role in the metabolism of nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3, and is involved in the regulation of cellular energy balance and fat storage.
By inhibiting NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ may increase cellular energy expenditure and reduce fat accumulation. This makes it a compound of interest for those looking to lose weight or reduce body fat. Some studies suggest that inhibiting NNMT can enhance muscle growth.
- Lower body fat
- Increased lean tissue
- Improved energy levels
NAD+
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells. It plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular signaling. NAD+ is involved in various signaling pathways within cells, including those related to longevity and stress response.
Low NAD+ levels have also been
linked to various chronic diseases
like diabetes, heart disease, and even long-COVID. NAD+ can not only help improve symptoms of these diseases, like chronic fatigue, but it can also help reduce our risk for developing these diseases in the first place.
- Increased energy and mental clarity
- Improved athletic performance
- Support metabolism
- Repair damage to cells and DNA
- Combat inflammation
- Anti-Aging
Glutathione
Glutathione is a tripeptide molecule composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. It is considered one of the most important antioxidants in the body and plays several crucial roles in maintaining overall health.
- Antioxidant - Glutathione acts as a powerful antioxidant within the body. It helps neutralize harmful free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage cells and DNA. This antioxidant activity helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports overall cellular health.
- Heavy Metals - helps remove toxins, heavy metals, and other harmful compounds from the body, making them more water-soluble and easier to excrete.
- Neuro and heart protective - Glutathione levels tend to decline with age, and low levels of glutathione have been associated with various age-related diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Some researchers believe that boosting glutathione levels may have potential health benefits.
L-Carnitine
L-carnitine (also known simply as carnitine) is a naturally occurring amino acid-like compound found in the body. It plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and the transportation of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized (burned) to produce energy.
Fat metabolism - L-carnitine is essential for the transport of long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane, allowing them to be used as a source of energy. This process is particularly important during periods of increased energy demand, such as exercise or fasting.
ATP - By facilitating the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria, L-carnitine helps generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of cells. This is why L-carnitine is often associated with improved endurance and athletic performance.
Antioxidant - L-carnitine also has antioxidant properties and can help reduce oxidative stress in the body. This may contribute to its protective effects on the cardiovascular system and other tissues.
