Peptides
Let’s Talk Peptides
- Peptides are small amino acids that can be used by the body to send signals between different parts of itself. They are usually made up of just 2-3 amino acids connected together with peptide bonds.
- They are the signaling molecules that communicate with our cells, telling them what to do. They serve as a crucial link in performing various critical functions like repairing tissues and hormones while sending out anti-inflammatory compounds for healing.
- Structurally speaking, peptides are related to amino acids and proteins in the following way:
- Amino acids are individual molecules
- Peptides are short chains of 2-50 amino acids
- Proteins are long chains of 50+ amino acids
- While some may think that peptides are an unproven alternative medicine, they have actually been used as life-saving medicines for over 100 years. Insulin & penicillin are all peptides that have contributed life saving health benefits.
CJC1295/Ipamorelin: (A very popular peptide!!)
- CJC 1295 was originally made to treat diseases, but has been known to have performance-enhancing effects that appeal to athletes and trainers. This peptide works by increasing protein synthesis and insulin-like growth factor levels. This process enables muscle tissue to grow, thereby increasing muscle mass and function.
- Ipamorelin and CJC 1295 are often used together to stimulate muscle development. The combination works by increasing the blood level of hormones associated with growth. It can increase:
-
- Muscle mass and strength
- Decrease and burn body fat
- Improved recovery and repair from training and working out
- Improves cognition and memory function
- Strengthens Immune System
- Increased Sex drive
- Improve sleep to feel well rested
-
BPC157: (Another very popular peptide)
Aids in tissue repair, reduces inflammation, accelerates wound healing, and gut health.
AOD-9604
AOD-9604 helps regulate fat metabolism by stimulating lipolysis (the breakdown of fat) and inhibiting lipogenesis (the transformation of non-fatty foods into body fat). As a result, greater weight loss results are achieved in a shorter period of time, as more calories are burned than with normal dietary restrictions and exercise alone. This is a great peptide to transition into for weight loss maintenance after complimenting our weight loss program.
Copper Peptides (GHK-Cu):
Aids in the stimulation of collagen formation, reduces inflammation, and promotes wound healing.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1):
Functions by boosting pancreatic insulin production, decreasing glucagon release, and slowing gastric emptying, resulting in better blood sugar control (famous Ozempic and Monjuro).
Sermorelin
Sermorelin can greatly improve your exercise performance by helping you recover more quickly and by putting on muscle faster. Sermorelin can restore your growth hormone levels so that you can exercise easier and have more energy to get through more strenuous workouts. Benefits of Sermorelin includes:
- Increased lean body mass
- Fat reduction
- Improve energy
- Increase strength
- Increase Endurance
- Speed up wound healing
- Improve skin quality
- Increase collagen production
- Improve bone density
- Improve sleep quality
