Peptides Therapy

Peptides are short strings of amino acids that can penetrate the skin and intestines. As they are shorter than proteins, they enter the bloodstream more quickly. They work by signaling cells to regulate and rejuvenate body functions.

Depending on the sequence of amino acids they contain, peptides have different effects on the body. As a result of their specific nature, they are safe and well-tolerated. With age, however, the production of peptides slows down. Perhaps this explains why people have difficulty losing weight, maintaining bone health, and achieving sexual satisfaction.

Evidence shows that peptides may slow aging, reduce inflammation, and build muscle. Dr. Shel offers peptide therapy regimens tailored to your medical needs and goals.

AOD-9604

Originally used as an anti-obesity drug, AOD 9604 is a modified form of amino acids 176-191. The injection of this hormone derivative stimulates the pituitary gland, which, in turn, speeds up metabolism and burns fat.

BPC-157

BPC-157 (body protection compound 157) is a short regeneration peptide chain comprising 15 amino acids. It enhances the expression of growth hormone receptors and is mainly responsible for muscle, injury, and tendon healing, and activating angiogenesis. There is also evidence that it has analgesic properties.

Ipamorelin with CJC-1295

Combining ipamorelin and CJC 1295, a peptide that stimulates pituitary gland function, increases growth hormone release. This is essential for well-being as it promotes anabolism and enhances speed, strength, and endurance during workouts. 

The combination helps repair tissue and mental clarity, boosts immunity, and increases muscle mass. Users of this peptide combination report improved alertness and stimulation of the pituitary gland after taking it.

GHK-Cu

When applied topically, the human copper-binding peptide GHK-Cu aids in collagen and elastin formation. Patients use GHK-Cu to eliminate wrinkles, discoloration, age spots, and scarring. Clinical trials show that it improves fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and skin appearance.

Zinc Thymulin

Thymulin is a nonapeptide produced by two distinct epithelial populations in the thymus. It requires zinc for biological activity. 

Combining zinc and thymulin improves hair growth, prevents and reduces hair loss, and improves endogenous hair pigmentation in graying hair. 

Dihexa

Dihexa is a new peptide that acts as a hexapeptide, which means it contains six amino acids linked in a chain. This peptide variant is derived from angiotensin IV.

Dihexa is a cognitive enhancer designed to enhance certain cognitive functions, improve mental stamina, and boost both short- and long-term memory capacity.

PT-151

PT-141 is a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist that treats men with erectile dysfunction and women with sexual arousal disorders. It is used to restore sexual function, increase libido, and improve performance during intercourse. It works directly through the nervous system to increase arousal, desire, and sexual satisfaction. The hormone PT-141 stimulates the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is associated with sexual function.

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a long-acting, injectable GLP-1 agonist that can be used as a diabetes treatment. It mimics the effects of GLP-1. Semaglutide was initially designed to control blood sugar in diabetic patients, as it stimulates insulin secretion to regulate blood sugar. However, it has also been shown to reduce body fat in healthy individuals! 

It works through several mechanisms, such as suppressing appetite, increasing satiety, reducing food cravings and feelings of hunger, and delaying gastric emptying (the rate at which the stomach empties).

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist used to treat type II diabetes in adults as an adjunct to diet and exercise. Like semaglutide, it reduces food intake and appetite by mimicking hormones. Besides reducing appetite, tirzepatide may also improve sugar and fat metabolism.

Patients who took a high dose of tirzepatide lost 22.5% of their body weight on average, or 52 pounds, better than any medication currently on the market. A majority of the trial participants had a body mass index above 30. 

Thymosin alpha

Thymosin alpha is used for boosting the immune system as it increases Major Histocompatibility Complex class-1 and cytokine production, providing immunoregulatory function. It enhances T-cell function and stimulates the production of active T-cells, which help your immune system fight germs and protect you from disease.

DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide)

DSIP, or Delta sleep-inducing Peptide, is a somnogeneric nonapeptide that affects neuromodulation. Usually found in the brain, it passes quickly through blood barriers. Studies have shown that DSIP and its analogs are classified as peptide neuromodulators. 

Studies have also shown that DSIP exhibits a stress-protective action that decreases stress-induced metabolic disorders in humans and animals. The DSIP is thought to modulate GABAergic gluta activity and other neuronal systems.

Kisspeptin

Kisspeptins are peptide hormones that play a major role in controlling reproductive hormones in both men and women. Specifically, kisspeptin regulates the release of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. They may also be used for diabetes, hypogonadism, and metabolic disorders.

VIP (Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide)

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is a neuropeptide that functions as a neuromodulator and neurotransmitter. It is found in the pancreas, intestine, and central nervous system, and has many actions in the body. It causes the blood vessels to relax and regulates smooth muscle activity, epithelial cell secretion, and blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract.

Sermorelin

The peptide sermorelin stimulates the pituitary gland to produce more growth hormone, which enhances vitality and energy, heals injuries, slows aging, and boosts immunity.

Selank

Selank peptides are known for their calming and nootropic properties. In addition to helping you overcome anxiety and depression, it relieves stress, relieves aggression and fear reaction, and promotes relaxation and focus. It stimulates mental activity, so the learning process becomes more accessible.
