Peptide Therapy

Skin • Hair • Collagen • Healthy Aging

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide found in the human body that plays a role in tissue repair, collagen production and cellular renewal. Levels naturally decrease with age, which is one reason it has become such an interesting peptide in regenerative and healthy-aging research.

GHK-Cu helps activate pathways involved in collagen and elastin production, fibroblast activity, antioxidant defense and tissue remodeling. Research involving the skin has demonstrated improvements in measures such as firmness, elasticity, fine lines and overall appearance.

Metabolism • Mitochondria • Energy • Exercise

MOTS-C is a fascinating peptide because it originates within the mitochondria—your cells' energy-producing centers. It acts as a metabolic messenger, helping cells respond and adapt to changes in energy demand and metabolic stress.

Research has connected MOTS-C signaling with glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, exercise adaptation and metabolic function. Human research has also shown that MOTS-C levels respond to exercise, strengthening interest in its relationship with physical performance and metabolic health.

Think of MOTS-C as a peptide researchers are studying to better understand how the body communicates with its mitochondria to manage energy and metabolism. to metabolic and physical stress.

What does the research show? Human research has demonstrated that MOTS-C is connected with exercise and metabolism. In one study, researchers measured changes in mitochondrial-derived peptides after exercise. Another 16-week exercise study found that increases in MOTS-C were associated with reductions in fat mass, body weight, insulin resistance and CRP, along with increased lean mass in one study population. Importantly, these studies examined the body's own MOTS-C—not whether MOTS-C injections produce those outcomes.

Libido • Sexual Desire • Sexual Wellness

PT-141, also known as bremelanotide, takes a completely different approach to sexual wellness. Rather than primarily affecting blood flow, it works through melanocortin receptors in the brain involved in sexual desire and arousal.

PT-141 has been studied in large clinical trials, and bremelanotide is FDA-approved under the brand Vyleesi® for certain premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). Phase 3 studies involving more than 1,200 women demonstrated significant improvements in sexual desire and reductions in distress related to low desire.

ocus • Mental Clarity • Stress Response

Semax and Selank are neuroactive peptides being researched for how they interact with the brain, nervous system and stress-response pathways.

Semax has received attention for its relationship with BDNF—brain-derived neurotrophic factor—a protein involved in neuroplasticity, learning, memory and neuronal health. This makes it particularly interesting in research surrounding cognition and neurological recovery.

Selank has been studied for its influence on anxiety and stress-response pathways, including neurotransmitter systems involved in emotional regulation.

Together, they have generated interest in the areas of focus, mental clarity, cognitive performance, neuroplasticity and stress resilience.

Growth Hormone • Recovery • Sleep • Body Composition

Sermorelin works with your body's own growth-hormone system. It mimics growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), sending a signal to the pituitary gland to release growth hormone rather than supplying growth hormone directly.

Growth hormone naturally declines with age and is involved in tissue repair, protein synthesis, body composition, metabolism and recovery. Sermorelin has been shown in human studies to stimulate the body's natural GH secretion.

This is why sermorelin has become particularly interesting for people looking at healthy aging and optimizing the body's natural recovery pathways.

Visceral Fat • Metabolism • Body Composition

Tesamorelin is a GHRH analog that stimulates the pituitary gland to increase the body's own growth-hormone production. Where it really stands out is its research involving visceral fat—the deeper abdominal fat surrounding the organs.

Clinical research has demonstrated reductions of approximately 15% in visceral abdominal fat after about six months in studied populations, with longer-term research reporting reductions approaching 18% at 12 months.

That makes tesamorelin particularly interesting because visceral fat isn't simply about appearance. Excess visceral fat is metabolically active and is associated with cardiometabolic health.

Body Composition • Visceral Fat • Recovery • Healthy Aging

Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin combines two peptides that support the body's natural growth-hormone signaling, an important system involved in metabolism, body composition, tissue repair and recovery.

Tesamorelin has become especially well known for its research on visceral fat—the deeper abdominal fat that surrounds the organs. Clinical studies of tesamorelin have demonstrated reductions of approximately 15% in visceral abdominal fat after six months in its studied population.

Ipamorelin works through a different pathway, stimulating the pituitary gland to produce a natural pulse of growth hormone. This complementary mechanism is why the two peptides are paired in some treatment protocols.

Together, the combination has gained attention for supporting goals centered around body composition, metabolic health, recovery and healthy aging.
