Peak Wellness with Peptide Therapy

Cerebrolysin is a naturally occurring nootropic peptide and is used to aid with brain (neurotrophic) repair which can assist with memory, focus, learning, and cognition. The properties of this nootropic agent help to shield neurons from lactocidosis, to prevent the formation of free radicals, and have been studied in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, MS, ALS, TBI, and stroke.

As the name suggests, DSIP is used to aid with deep sleep. This peptide has been shown to promote a particular type of sleep which is characterized by an increase in the delta rhythm of the EEG. Some of the effects of the peptide are accomplished through the modulating action on a modulating influence on the activity of GABAergic, glutamatergic, and other neuronal systems.

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a universal cellular electron transporter, coenzyme, and signaling molecule present in all cells of the body and is essential for cell function and viability. It is naturally occurring in the body and is vital for energy (ATP) production in all parts of cellular respiration: glycolysis in the cytoplasm, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain in the mitochondria. NAD+ levels are highest in newborns and steadily decline with chronological age. After age 50, there are approximately half of the levels seen in younger adults. NAD+ replacement therapy may promote mitochondrial health and homeostasis, genome stability, neuroprotection, healthy aging, longevity, and may aid in treating addiction. This can be applied best as an IV or subcutaneous injections.

PT-141 is used for sexual enhancement in both men and women. This peptide works directly through the nervous system to increase arousal, desire, and satisfaction with intercourse. Although most of the research has been targeted towards female sexual dysfunction it has been found to be effective in sexual dysfunction in both men (helping with erectile dysfunction or impotence) and women (sexual arousal). Unlike Viagra and other related medications, it does not act upon the vascular system, but directly increases sexual desire via the nervous system. It currently has no contraindications and can be up to 80% effective in men. For women, it has been shown to increase up to 50% in their sexually satisfying experiences.

This peptide is used to aid in reduction of abdominal fat and enhanced cognition function. Tesamorelin is a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analog that increases IGF-1 levels in both men and women. It binds to and stimulates GHRH receptors with similar potency as endogenous GHRH. Other benefits include the ability to reduce triglycerides. Clinical trials have shown that Tesamorelin significantly reduces abdominal fat. Additionally, it has been shown to aid with cognitive function for seniors and patients with an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and long-term weight management. Semaglutide acts like human glucagon-like peptide-1 in that it increases insulin secretion, thereby increasing sugar metabolism. It works by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Weight loss may result from GLP-1’s reduction of appetite and slowing down digestion.

Semax and Selank are used to assist with mood regulation – anxiety and stress primarily amongst others. It has also been shown to be effective in many other treatments related to PTSD, ADHD and as an immune system enhancer. These classes of peptides help control many behaviors such as regulating attention, processes of learning, and memory formation as a result of their pronounced effect on the central nervous system. 

Tirzepatide uses the same mechanism as Semaglutide but has been shown to be more effective at reducing A1C levels, achieving greater weight loss with less GI (gastrointestinal) issues.
