Peptides

Peptides 2020

Peptides are chains of amino acids which are less than or equal to 50 amino acids in length. They are identical or slightly modified versions of peptides which are found in the human body. As such, they have minimal if any adverse side effects. They function to increased hormone release or activate carious important biochemical pathways and essential cellular functions in your body.

Peptides inevitable decrease with aging. Supplementation is an effort to regain a youthful biochemical physiological and endocrinological state and functionality. This includes repair of injured tissue and improvements in cognitive function, strength, energy, libido, endurance etc.

The efficacy of these agents has been shown in limited animal and human trails as well as case reports for this reason, and the fact that we are all biochemically somewhat unique, your individual response cannot be guaranteed. My suggestion is to try any of these agents for 3 to 4 months. If you’re response is favorable, then continue. If not, there are an abundance of other peptides and therapeutic modalities that you might consider.

CLick on each Peptide below to learn more

  • SARMS (selective androgen receptor modulators)
    • LGD-4033
    • Stimulates androgen receptors to enhance anabolic affect
    • Very little if any androgenic affects
    • No liver toxicity
    • No polycythemia
    • Long elimination half-life
    • FSH and free testosterone suppressed only as high doses (greater than 1 mg per day)
    • Anabolic affect equal to or greater than testosterone

  • MODAFINIL (Provigil)
    • Very effective treatment for narcolepsy
    • Nonaddictive
    • Nootropic: Up regulates focus, clarity, concentration and short-term memory

  • CJC 1295/lpamorelin
    • CJC 1295 is derived from GHRH
    • GHRP is a peptide of 44 amino acids
    • The first 29 of these amino acids is the active part of this peptide
    • This has been previously isolated and is called Sermorelin
    • Sermorelin was further tetra-substituted with four specific amino acids to increase its potency and longevity and is called CJC 1295
    • CJC 1295 stimulates the somatotropic cells of the pituitary to increase in number as well as the amount of hGH released from each cell
    • CJC 1295 works in synergy with ghrelin and its derivatives
    • Ghrelin is released from the pancreas and stomach when they are empty
    • It tells the brain (hypothalamus) that you are hungry and stimulates the pituitary to release ACTH as well as hGH
    • Excess stimulation of hunger and release of ACTH and therefore cortisol is frequently counterproductive
    • Derivatives of ghrelin have been produced which diminish hunger and ACTH released while increasing hGH release
    • The best of these derivatives appears to be lpamorelin
    • CJC 1295 given in conjunction with lpamorelin is 5 times more potent (in the ability to release hGH) than is either one given independently.

  • Melanotan II
    • An analog of melanocyte stimulating hormone
    • Protects skin against UVB light by increasing melanin
    • Also reported to reduce appetite, inflammation, anxiety and stimulates the immune system
    • Thought to boost female libido far more than any other hormone
    • Increases the frequency, duration and volume of erections in men
    • Does not work by vasodilation like the PD 5 inhibitors but woriks by central nervous system stimulation
    • Take the prescribed amount or slightly less/ side effect: may cause nausea

  • BPC-157
    • Isolated from human gastric juice
    • Accelerates healing of many different wounds
    • Given orally it combats leaky gut, IBS, GI cramps, Crohn’s disease and gastric ulcers
    • Also exhibits analgesic properties
    • Can accelerate healing of muscle, tendon, cartilage, ligament and bone injury when injected locally

  • Thymosin Apha 1
    • Augments immune function by augmenting T-cell function and stimulating thymocyte conversions to T lymphocytes
    • Has shown efficacy in various cancers, chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease and Lyme disease
    • Augments the immune system response to influenza and rhinoviruses

  • Thymosin Beta 4
    • Stimulates production of T cells
    • Assists the development of B lymphocytes, plasma cells and antibodies
    • Protection, regeneration and remodeling of injured or damaged tissues
    • Prescribed after acute injury and surgical repair especially in senior patient’s
    • Regrows hair
    • Potential treatment for HIV, AIDS and influenza
    • Serum levels are frequently low in patients with multiple myeloma
    • Sometimes used in conjunction with BPC 157 for tissue injury
    • Note: There is ongoing research in both of the above thymosin agents
