Human Growth Hormone Optimization
Growth hormone secreting medications, called peptides, signal your body to produce Human Growth Hormone (HGH) naturally. The medications are typically administered subcutaneously every night to result in faster gym recovery times, faster injury recovery, increased muscle development, fat loss, improved skin quality, and improved sleep. The medications listed on this page are typically given in 3-month cycles.
There are several advantages to restoring Growth Hormone levels, which may include:
-
Enhanced mood and overall well-being
-
Increased lean muscle mass and strength
-
Increased bone density
-
Boosted immune system
-
Improved sleep quality
-
Weight loss
Sermorelin
Sermorelin is a Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone Analog that stimulates the production of HGH. It is taken nightly and improves sleep quality. In addition, it aids in fat loss, improves muscle composition and anecdotally improves mood and well-being.
Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin is a Ghrelin agonist and stimulates the production of HGH in a steadier slow release that mimics the natural release during sleep. It aids in fat loss, increasing muscle mass, improving sleep and improving the immune system. It can be taken more long term as an age management supplement in older patients if desired.
Ibutamoren (MK677)
Ibutamoren is a Ghrelin agonist that stimulates the pituitary gland to release HGH. Ibutamoren is unique because it is dispensed as a pill vs injection like the other growth hormone secreting peptides. This increases muscle mass, aids in fat loss, affects appetite, improves physical performance and stamina, and also may aid in surgical/injury recovery.
CJC1295 / Ipamorelin
CJC 1295 / Ipamorelin is a combination of 2 peptides. It is a Growth Hormone releasing hormone that stimulates one side of the pituitary gland. It does this in order to produce growth hormone. Ipamorelin mimics the ghrelin and binds to the ghrelin receptor in the pituitary gland in the brain. Thus, it also acts on the pituitary gland in order to produce growth hormone. These two peptides combine to act together in order to increase HGH (human growth hormone) produced in the body. The CJC 1295 / Ipamorelin combo is able to achieve this by acting in two different families of receptors.
CJC 1295 Ipamorelin should be taken together in order to maximize the amount of growth being released into your body. This creates a safe and therapeutic anti-aging benefit. Some would even call it the fountain of youth!
Sermorelin Plus
Sermorelin Plus has all of the benefits of Sermorelin, plus the added benefits of Ipamorelin and Glycine. Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide, a selective agonist of the ghrelin/ GHS receptor pathway. Ipamorelin selectively binds the GHSR-1a receptor in the brain. This interaction with GHSR-1a leads to a GH release from the pituitary gland, influencing several anabolic processes, including appetite regulation, fat processing, and overall energy usage. Studies have shown that Ipamorelin can be found in the gastrointestinal tract, heart, lungs, kidney, pancreas, liver, immune cells, and adipose tissue. Glycine is one of the stimulatory agents inducing the pituitary gland to secrete HGH. Patients report improvements in libido and wellbeing including, augmented restful sleep, refined skin tone with stronger hair and nails, improvement in fat loss and lean body mass gains, significant increases in growth hormone release two hours after administration.
