Meet the medical breakthrough of Peptides! They are chains of amino acids that are linked together in a specific process to produce a protein. Some peptides are naturally occurring and others can be artificially synthesized in the laboratory. Your body uses these proteins or peptides as signaling molecules facilitating the cell-to-cell communication and allowing you to switch certain cell functions on or off. This property can be harnessed and used to trigger amazing therapeutic effects.
Peptides are made from amino acids that are linked together and used to produce a specific reaction in the body. They can be thought of as a small protein. They have many functions in the body including signaling and messaging. Some may act like neurotransmitters, while others may act like hormones.
They bind to receptors on the cell surface and tell other cells and molecules what to do. 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 have been shown to assist with weight loss by motivating the collapse of visceral fat. They may also be utilized to diminish inflammation. Some peptides inspire the creation of human growth hormone and are utilized in anti-aging therapies or to raise muscle mass. Peptides are typically administered through the skin as a subcutaneous injection. They can also be applied in a transdermal creams, a nasal spray or in oral form.
Longevity: Epithalon (Teleomere lengthening)
Epitalon is a tetra peptide, meaning that it is made up of four amino acid chains. It is used to regulate the cell cycle through up-regulation of telomerase activity. It was discovered by the Russian scientist Professor Vladimir Khavinson, who conducted Epitalon-related research for 35 years in both animal and human clinical trials. The results were amazing. For the first time ever, human clinical trials proved beyond doubt that the substance consisted of powerful life extension and antiaging properties.
It works in the pineal gland of the brain. Its primary role is to increase the natural production of telomerase, a natural enzyme that helps cells reproduce telomeres, which are the protective parts of our DNA. This allows the replication of our DNA, so the body can grow new cells and rejuvenate old ones. It has shown a 33% increase in telomere length in somatic cells. It has many documented effects on general aging and impacts on the circadian rhythm. It promotes a natural cycle and healthy sleep cycles, it also makes sure that cortisol and other stress hormones are not elevated throughout the day, which can lead to excess abdominal weight gain. It helps regulate levels of melatonin and cortisol. It helps make sure cortisol is elevated in the morning and melatonin is elevated in the evening.
Telomerase is a nucleoprotein that contains RNA and adds repeat sequences to the end of telomeres. A Telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromosome, which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration of from fusion with neighboring chromosomes.
Younger people produce a relatively large amount of telomerase and longer telomeres. The longer the telomere strands are, the better cell health and replication they provide. However, as people age, the production of telomerase decreases and consequently cell replication and health decline. This is the main reason that people age.
The importance of telomerase production and telomere rejuvenation in fighting the symptoms of aging has been proven by numerous studies. In one study conducted on 913 pairs of twins, the twin with stronger telomerase production looked younger and had better health than his/her twin counterpart. In another study of 38 people who were 100 years old or older, the healthiest participants had the strongest and longest telomeres.
Epitalon has been proven to increase production of telomerase. This in turn strengthens and lengthens telomeres. That means that Epitalon can play a vital role in slowing down the aging process, and therefore extending human longevity.
Cellular Repair, Immune System Building: (T-Cell recovery/HIV/past cancer/chemo/chronic infections): Thymosin Alpha 1/Thymosin Beta 4,
Thymosin Alpha 1 family and is an excellent immune modulator. Thymosin is a peptide, or small protein, produced naturally by the thymus gland. It is one of several polypeptide hormones secreted by the thymus that controls the maturation of T-cells, which actively participates in the immune response. The thymus is a critical part of your immune system, where individual T-cells are tailored to respond to the millions of bacteria, fungi, or viruses that could invade your body. It is most often given for chronic viral diseases, but has also been shown to increase innate immunity factors and help fight against harmful autoimmune processes. It is given to help control inflammation associated with chronic diseases, which can cause excess fatigue.
Thymosin Beta 4 Working primarily with the immune system. It stimulates the production of T cells which are vital in immune function. It has also been found to play an important role in the protection and regeneration of injured tissues.
Neurogenic/Neurorestorative (Nootropin class): Semax, Cerebrolysin
Selanek. The spectrum of the pharmacological action of Selank is unique. It is an anti-anxiety supplement with the antidepressant and anti-asthenic action that is also able to enhance memory and cognitive functions. Therefore, this peptide can potentially replace three different drug groups — tranquilizers, antidepressants, and stimulants.
Semax is a drug which is used for a broad range of conditions but predominantly for its purported nootropic, neuroprotective, and neurogenic/neurorestorative properties.
Studies of the activity of this peptide in animal experiments have shown that it improves memory and attention, has antihypoxic and antihemorrhagic effects, and helps to reduce the severity of clinical and neurophysiological manifestations of ischemic stroke. Clinical studies have shown its high effectiveness in the treatment of intellectual-amnesic disorders like Alzheimer and Dimentia.
Administration of Semax has a pronounced positive effect in the treatment of stroke. As of today, this peptide is the only neurotropic drug widely used in medicine, developed based on endogenous melanocortins. In spite of the fact that Semax has been used in clinical practice for more than 10 years, the spectrum of physiological activity of this peptide has not been determined to date, and its mechanism of action is not fully understood yet.
Cerebrolysin is a peptide for the brain, which stimulates repair and regeneration of some neurons and parts of the nervous system. It improves efficiency within the brain’s aerobic metabolic processes and improves intracellular peptide synthesis. The neuroprotective properties of this nootropic agent help to shield neurons from lactic acidosis, to prevent formation of free radicals, and to decrease neurotoxic action of certain amino acids. The end result is that it’s a powerful brain activator and can also help prevent and alleviate the symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia.
Endocrine Regulation, Growth Hormone Optimization (diabetes, weight loss): Liraglutide/CJC1295-ipamorelin Learn More
Ipamorelin is one of the safest, most effective forms of growth hormone (GH) stimulator, widely used to support age management, disease management, sports performance and GH deficiency treatment protocols.
Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide, meaning that it is composed of five amino acids, that mimics the body’s natural GH release. Ipamorelin is a growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP) and analogue of the hormone Ghrelin. It induces GH release and increases the number of somatarophs(cells responsible for GH release) in a GH pulse by suppressing somatostatin.
Ipamorelin is very similar to the growth hormone releasing peptides (GHRPs) GHRP 2 and GHRP 6 in that it mimics ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and targets a specific HGH pulse. However, unlike other GHRPs, this peptide doesn’t affect the release of cortisol, acetylcholine, prolactin and aldosterone thereby minimizing side effects experienced with other GH therapies, such as increased hunger. Because there are virtually no negative side effects, Ipamorelin can be prescribed more aggressively and more frequently than other therapies without the risk of elevated cortisol and acetylcholine blood plasma levels. This helps optimize HGH levels for a longer period of time, leading to more successful health outcomes.
CJC 1295 is a synthetically produced peptide that can increase your plasma growth hormone levels. CJC 1295 stimulates growth hormone secration and will keep a steady increase of HGH and IGF-1, leading to fat loss, and increase protein synthesis therby promoting growth. Usually injected into your body via a subcutaneous injection. CJC 1295 is also somtimes referred to as DAC:GRF.
Stands for Drug Affinity Complex, and GRF stands for growth hormone-releasing factor. CJC 1295 can increase your IGF-1 levels and GH (growth hormone) levels in humans and in animals. DAC is added to this peptide in order to increase the half-life of CJC-1295. Initially CJC 1295 was developed to treat diseases and medical conditions for patients who had muscle disorders, diseases, and burn victims. CJC 1295 has drawn many individuals like athletes from around the globe for its incredible benefits and minimal side effects to enhance their performance on the field, and in the gym.
Liraglutide
Liraglutide is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, binding to the same receptors as does the endogenous metabolic hormone GLP-1 that stimulates insulin secretion.
Liraglutide, is a medication used to treat diabetes mellitus type 2 and obesity. In diabetes it is a less preferred agent. Its effects on long term health outcomes like heart disease and life expectancy are unclear. In obesity if after 12 weeks less than 5% of body weight is lost it is recommended the medication be stopped. It is given by injection under the skin.
Hair and Skin: PTD -DBM Learn More
BPC stands for body protection complex and has been shown to accelerate the healing of various wounds and injuries. It has also demonstrated a reduction in inflammation in the gut, typically arising from diseases like inflammatory bowel disease and leaky gut syndrome. By increasing blood flow to damaged tissues, this peptide may also assist skin burns to heal at a faster rate.
Libido and Sexual Wellness: Pt-141 Learn More
PT-141 is a drug that was originally created in the hopes of solving female sexual dysfunction. What they found was that by stimulating the melanocortin receptors in the arcuate nucleus of the brain is that it works to stimulate sexual arousal for both men and women. It especially works in men, providing spontaneous erections that require no psychological stimulus. This is also a great therapy, because it doesn’t work like any other product for erectile dysfunction. It works directly in the brain, instead of working to relax blood vessels like other PDE5 inhibitors.
Unlike Viagra and other similar medications, it does not act in the vascular system, but directly increases sexual desire with the nervous system. It stimulates and activates the dopamine hormones that happen to play a major role in sexual motivation. Dopamine is a known compound in the body, it’s a neurotransmitter that stimulates performance. When you have low levels of dopamine, your libido is lowered.
So, while PT 141 can be used to treat sexual dysfunction, for men and women, it can also be used for boosting your energy naturally, without harmful energy drinks or pills. It can also be used to promote skin tanning without the harmful effects of UV radiation and sunlight. It’s a good option for people who participate in body building competitions, they can get darker skin faster and have more energy to power through their workouts.
Sleep/Insomnia: (Delta wave sleep inducing peptide) : DSIP
DSIP is a neuropeptide that stands for Delta sleep-inducing peptide. Typically found in the brain, DSIP is often prescribed for the treatment of pain, alcohol and opioid withdrawal, testosterone level rebalancing, and stress-related symptoms. It has also been shown to promote and improve sleep quality.
Weight Loss: Tesofensine (Oral)
Tesofensine is a breakthrough drug that has shown Great results without many of the side effects, or risks, Of other, more commonly prescribed weight loss Medications. This once daily capsule will help you Safely and effectively shed those unwanted pounds!
This peptide is used in addressing obesity, as it is found to be an extremely effective appetite suppressant. Although originally used in the treatment of neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, tesofensine failed to demonstrate efficacy in treating these diseases. However, trial participants who were overweight achieved significant weight loss. By increasing the 3 important neurotransmitters in the brain- serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine, tesofensine is able to regulate and control appetite sensations to assist in weight loss.
Gut disorders: BPC 157
BPC 157 stands for body protection complex. It was discovered in and isolated from the human gastric tract. Experimentally, it has been demonstrated to accelerate the healing of many different wounds, including tendon-to-bone healing and superior healing of damaged ligaments. Those who suffer from discomfort due to muscle sprains, tears, and damage may benefit from this peptide treatment. Additionally, it has been shown to reduce inflammation in the gut often associated with diseases like leaky gut syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. The importance of telomerase production and telomere rejuvenation in fighting the symptoms of aging has been proven by numerous studies. In one study conducted on 913 pairs of twins, the twin with stronger telomerase production looked younger and had better health than his/her twin counterpart. In another study of 38 people who were 100 years old or older, the healthiest participants had the strongest and longest telomeres.
