- Parkinson’s disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Cancers
- Anti-aging
- Wound repair
- Gut healing
- Weight loss
- Increased libido
- Sleep
- Mood enhancement
- Increases muscle mass
- Increases bone density
Peptide Therapy
- Replaces or supplements natural-occurring peptide levels inside the body
- Allows the body to mimic the function of various natural peptides
- Holds promise for interventions; such as regenerative and anti-aging
Classes of Peptides
- BPC-157
- Derived from a protein in the stomach called “body protection compound”
- It can be taken orally or injected subcutaneously
- Used for wound healing, anti-inflammatory, muscle healing, leaky gut, improves blood sugar, protects liver
- ARA 290 or EMA401 or cibinetide
- Synthetic peptide used for anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties
- Derived from the EPO (erythropoietin protein)-helps with red cell production
- Focuses on neuropathic pain, diabetic neuropathy and sarcoidosis
- SYN-COLL
- Synthetic tripeptide similar to human collagen
- Used for skin elasticity, firmness, and youthful appearance
- Works via topically and subcutaneous injection
- Thymosin Alpha 1
- Synthetic peptide that looks like the hormone excreted from the thymus gland
- Modulates the activity of T-cells
- Helps with autoimmune conditions
- Thymosin Beta 4
- Helps promote healing and repair of damaged tissues
- Used for the regeneration of joint and tendon problems
- Stimulates collagen and other essential structural proteins
- CJC-1295
- Growth hormone that helps with fat loss, muscle growth, cellular repair and deep sleep
- Semaglutide
- Helps with weight loss, appetite control, glycemic control, PCOS, cardiovascular benefits and neuroprotective properties
- Sermorelin
- Helps with sleep, energy, weight loss, muscle tone, sex drive and anti-aging
