Peptides

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Boosting Peptides

There are several peptides that boost Human Growth Hormone (HGH). They may differ in size  or duration but many share similar mechanisms and this group of peptides leads to increased  production of human growth hormone (HGH). HGH levels decline as we age and are believed  to lead to weaker muscles and bones, loose skin, reduced healing ability, increased body fat,  

and likely many more issues associated with aging. Taking these peptides may improve healing  and exercise recovery, aid in restful sleep, increase energy, reduce body fat, and more.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Boosting Peptides

Sermorelin 

Sermorelin is a synthetic version of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH). GHRH  stimulates Human Growth Hormone (HGH) release. HGH assists in muscle growth, fat loss and  sleep improvement. This peptide can also increase energy in adults, quicken metabolism,  accelerated healing and aid in anti-aging benefits.  

Inflammation and Healing

BPC-157

Studies have shown improved healing from bone, tendon, muscle, vascular, skin, and spinal  cord injury and reduces inflammation. This can also help with healing after injury or surgery.

Hormones and Sexual Health

Gonadorelin

Gonadorelin is a gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist and stimulates FSH and LH  production leading to improved hormone production from the ovaries or testicles. This is most  often used to improve testosterone production in men. 

PT-141

Used for premenopausal hypoactive sexual desire disorder for women and to improve erectile  function for men. The mechanism is believed to act on melanocortin receptors in the brain,  increasing arousal.

Weight Loss and Blood Sugar Control

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is the peptide found in brand name medications Wegovy and Ozempic. These  medications are used to control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes mellitus and to help patients  lose weight. Semaglutide activates the glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. Semaglutide  can reduce food cravings, increase insulin production in the pancreas and reduce levels of  glucagon resulting in lower blood sugar and weight loss.

Tirzapetide

Tirzepatide is the peptide used in the brand name medication Mounjaro and Zepbound. This  medication is used to control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes mellitus as well as for weight loss.  Tirzepatide works by activating both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors in your body. This improves  insulin release from your pancreas, reduces glucagon, reduces food cravings and helps  patients lose weight.
