Peptide Therapy

Tesamorelin

Tesamorelin is a prescription medication used to reduce excess abdominal fat in individuals with HIV and lipodystrophy, a condition characterized by abnormal fat distribution. It is a synthetic form of the growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF) and works by stimulating the production of growth hormone, which helps to break down excess fat in the abdominal area. Tesamorelin has been shown to improve body composition and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in individuals with HIV and lipodystrophy.

Sermorelin

Sermorelin is a prescription medication used to stimulate growth hormone production in the body. It is a synthetic form of growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP) and works by binding to specific receptors in the pituitary gland, stimulating the release of growth hormone. Sermorelin is used to treat growth hormone deficiency and growth failure in children, as well as adult growth hormone deficiency. It may also used for anti-aging purposes and to improve body composition.

IGF1-LR3

IGF1-LR3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 - Long Arginine 3) is a synthetic analogue of human IGF-1, a protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth and division. IGF1-LR3 has been shown to have a longer half-life than natural IGF-1, making it more effective for research purposes. IGF1-LR3 has been investigated for its potential to improve muscle growth and strength, as well as its potential therapeutic applications in various diseases, including growth hormone deficiency and muscle wasting disorders.

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a medication used to lower blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes, reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke, and aid in weight loss in specific patients. Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body to help regulate blood sugar levels. It is administered via injection or tablet.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and aid in weight loss. It is administered via subcutaneous injection and is sold under the brand names Mounjaro for diabetes treatment and Zepbound for weight loss. Tirzepatide works by activating the receptors for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which are natural hormones that regulate appetite and food intake. Common side effects of tirzepatide include abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea.

Hexarelin

Hexarelin is a synthetic growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP) medication used to stimulate the production and release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. It is used to treat growth hormone deficiency and growth failure in children and adults. Hexarelin has also been used off-label for its potential benefits in increasing muscle mass, bone density, and fat loss. It is administered via injection and is often used in combination with other growth hormone-releasing medications. Common side effects of hexarelin include joint pain, muscle pain, and changes in blood sugar levels.
