HPA Stress Reset Peptides

Selank

HPA Axis Reset and Pain Relief- Selank works on the amygdala by breaking down enkephalins which express fear, anxiety, and aggressiveness. Those enkephalins bind on opiate receptors to blunt pain.

Serotonin, GABA, and Dopamine Regulation- Selank eases sugar and food cravings. It activates 52 of the 84 genes that are responsible for GABA, making it a natural “benzodiazepine.”

Enhances Cognitive Function- a 30% increase in BDNF (short/long-term synapses) in animal studies with Selank.

Decreases Brain Inflammation- Selank has been shown to lower TNF-a, IL-6, and other pro-inflammatory cytokines by shifting T cells from Th1/TH17 to Treg in the microglia of the brain. May stop viral replication in the nasal passages.

RG3 Synapsin

RG3 (Ginsenganoids, Methylcobalamine, Nicotinamide Riboside)

HPA Axis Reset- neuroprotective, enhances memory and learning and decreases inflammation. Protects against mold exposures, chemical, and emotional stressors.

Longevity- increases sirtuin pathways via NAD+ for improved cardiovascular health, DNA expression, endurance, and cognitive function.

Epitalon

HPA Axis Reset- activates telomerase activity for longevity and interacts with CD5 for immune stem cell differentiation. Fruit flies and rats given Epitalon had a 52% decrease in mortality.

Sleep, Lipids, and Cholesterol- Epitalon balances circadian rhythms and blood lipids by activating the pCREB and the alkylamine-n-acetyltransferase pathways responsible for melatonin production.

Muscle and Skin Recovery- Epitalon targets the protein synthesis gene for better protein production and decreasing inflammation by enhancing the MMP2 pathway.

Lean Muscle + Endurance Peptides

Tesamorelin

Liver Health- proteins are well established as building blocks for muscles and your liver is responsible for converting the proteins you eat into slabs of muscle. Tesamorelin has been shown to repair even the most damaged liver so you can rebuild the frame that you want in a shorter amount of time.

Belly Fat Converter- Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin effectively turns your accumulation of mid-section overage to a defined masterpiece by working on your natural youthful growth hormone pathways.

Cardio-Brain Reset- Tesamorelin is a great way to lower non-optimal ranges of cholesterol and clean out your pipes with its inflammatory lowering and regenerative properties. This peptide also improves cognitive decline while you are putting on muscle and enjoying your favorite “Fitness 50 at age 100” challenges.

CGC-1295

Youngevity- CJC1295 is a supercharger for muscle building and accelerates recovery by inducing delta sleep waves and resets your circadian rhythms.

Energy Factory- it’s not uncommon to feel a surge of energy after injecting CJC1295, some refer to this as a flushing feeling, I like to think of it as my get up and go is ready to go.

Ipamorelin

Hunger Control- building muscle is a centerpiece of CJC1295 through the growth hormone pathway which also increases hunger, Ipamorelin tames the hunger and jumps up growth hormone by turning off somatostatin for a 7x greater release.

Overuse of Medications- Ipamorelin helps combat the side effects of glucocorticoids for pain conditions and bisphosphonates that treat osteoporosis.

Sarcotropin

Brains with the Brawn- Sarcotropin’s unique properties of GHRP’s (growth hormone releasing peptide), solid amino acid stack, vitamins D3 and K2 and nootropics provides world-class, science-based age reversal medicine that also reduces sarcopenia and keeps your blood vessels squeaky clean.

Immune Peptides

APB-7

Short-Lived Long-Haul– ABP-7 thymulin harmonizes your immune, endocrine, and central nervous system for fast recovery from COVID and other linger-longer infections like Lyme, mold, or EBV.

From Fallout to Fall In– ABP-7 restores balance in a cytokine storm, it also calms autoimmune markers IL-6 and TNF-a for a redistribution of specialized immune cells that can now spend less energy on attacking you and more on egregious invaders and can be used to reverse the aged immune system

Thymogen Alpha 1 (TA1 Frag)

Immune Reinstated- even though your T-cells decline, and your thymus gland shrinks with age, Thymogen Alpha-1 (a thymosin alpha-1 frag) brings them back to life no matter what chronic infection is in the way.

Remodulation- fungal, viral, and bacterial infections can be subtle and devastating to your health, thymogen alpha-1 activates dendritic cells to release antigens that allow your immune system to ward off impending invaders without disturbing your delicate ecosystem.

Odd Cells Out- thymogen alpha 1 is part of your insurance policy against cancer cells by increasing CD-4 and CD-8 cells to stop tumor growth and can be used as adjunctive therapy with chemo and radiation.

CJC1295 / Ipamorelin

Intelligent Immunity- declining growth hormone leads to an involuted thymus gland and immunity decline. CJC1295 recharges your immune cells intelligence by providing an increase of natural growth hormone. The Ipamorelin is the supercharger that yields 7x greater of a release.

KPV

Regulate It- KPV is a small peptide chain of 3 amino acids that works like the conductor of your genetic orchestra and turns on genetic expression with just the right pitch while silencing those off-tune so that your innate and adaptive immune response aligns to protect you when you need it most.

Healing Energy- KPV works on a pathway in Chinese Medicine known as the Wei Qi, or the Protective Force, which is an invisible energy field circulating on the outside of your skin. I think that the Wei Qi pathway is the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, which modulates skin pigmentation and immunity.

Fever Reduction- KPV cools the inflammatory fire in feverish conditions via the MSHalpha pathways.

Your Best Weight Peptides

Semaglutide (GLP-1)

Weight Loss Superstar- study participants on average lost 15% of their total body weight or approximately 30 pounds.

Healthy Heart- AOD9604 enhances cardiac protection through the beta-3-adrenergic receptor pathways. Improves cardiovascular function, endurance, and sleep.

Pain-Free Joints- research shows that AOD9604 injected directly into joints may aid in the regeneration of osteoarthritic joints and may help improve stem cell proliferation when used with perinatal tissue.

Gut Recharge Peptides

LL37

LL37 is naturally secreted in humans only as a response to infections and is one of the body’s most advanced anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and antiinflammatory peptides. It might be the most promising replacement for antibiotics because of its ability to select pathogenic from friendly microbes.

**Leaky Gut- LL37 downregulates TL4 and increases IL-18 to decrease inflammation, repairs leaky gut by binding on lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to stop bacterial translocation and repairs compromised barriers. SIBO and Biofilms- Useful for IBS or any acute or chronic infections. Breaks down biofilms in SIBO, mold, and Lyme disease, and corrects inflammatory conditions of the intestines.

BPC-157

BPC157 (body protective complex) was first isolated from human gastric juices and has been shown to be protective of gut barriers, combats inflammation and resolves IBS.

Heals Barriers- BPC157 stimulates nitric oxide for new vessel growth. It regulates the gut/brain axis via the vagus nerve and stimulates hormone production in the gut. Helps reset the circadian cycles in the body.

Overuse of Medication- the body protective complex reduces damage caused by long-term use of NSAIDS that increase gastric bleeding.

KPV

KPV is a powerful bioregulator in the body that treats inflammatory conditions of the gut and skin by downregulating the IL-6 and TNF-a pathways. Eases suffering from IBS, colitis, and Crohn’s disease.

Infections- KPV works on the alpha-MSH pathway, and its antimicrobial effects have been demonstrated on S. aureus and C. Albicans, two common pathogens in irritable bowel disease.

VIP

Vasoactive Intestinal peptide relaxes the smooth muscle in the gut, lowers blood pressure, and aids the immune function with mold and Lyme exposure. Balances the parasympathetic nervous system.
