Where is the best place to inject peptides?

 Injections can be given in arms, legs or lower abdomen! The key is to get a good pinch of fat tissue. The harder you squeeze the area, the less you’ll feel the injection. Most people feel comfortable injecting into the lower abdomen, 2 or 3 inches to the left or right of the belly button. It’s based on personal preference, just be sure to avoid blood vessels!

How does growth hormone help sleep? 

Most repair and restoration happens while we are in deep stages of sleep. During the REM stage of your sleep cycle, these growth peptides can stimulate the pituitary gland, which leads to an increase in growth hormone levels. Growth hormones help reset the sleep cycle so that the body can begin to recover quicker and more efficiently.

How long until you notice peptides are working? 

This depends on the peptide, the person in the severity of the symptoms. A person who experiences symptoms that affect their everyday life, might notice a difference within the first few days. One thing that makes peptides so amazing is that they perform functions the body already knows how to do, it just helps do it more efficiently. If the body is really struggling at a certain task, the effects of peptide therapy will be almost immediate. 

Can you travel with peptides?

As long as the vile is kept cold on ice in a small insulated travel bag or lunchbox with an ice pack, traveling with peptides is fairly easy! If you are flying, you can take it as a carry-on through airport security with no issues since it is less than 4 ounces. Just keep the insulin syringes in your checked bag and you’re good to go!

Peptides that address male or female sexual function? 

PT-141 works directly through the nervous system to increase both male and female arousal, desire and satisfaction with sex. Melanotan 2 is a Melanocortin that helps with sexual stimulation and erectile dysfunction.

Who is intranasal TRH good for? 

Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) converts to TSH, which converts to T4 to T3 and rT3. If TRH is not produced, our thyroid hormones down the line are not produced. This can result in hypothyroidism. TRH intranasal can increase regulation of thyroid hormone secretion!

Suggestions on increasing a MSH? 

UV rays increase MSH (melanocyte- stimulating hormone) production by the skin and pituitary gland. It plays an important role in making pigmentation of the skin, hair, and eyes. Specialized skin cells called melanocytes produce melanin, which protects cells from skin cancer. Sunlight exposure is great for increasing MSH! Both selank and Semax our ACTH/MSH-like peptides(melanocortins) and can be useful for regulation of MSH. 

Can peptides help with mold toxins or environmental toxins? 

Yes! I commonly treat mycotoxin illness with peptide therapy. Synapsin, thymosin alpha 1, Selank, MOTS-C, 5-amino 1MQ and SS-31 are all great options to reduce inflammation, up regulate the immune system, protect the brain and increase mitochondrial function.

Can peptides be used for weight loss? 

There are peptides that aid in fat loss! However, fat loss is often the result of what the peptide does for the immune system function, gut health, sleep, metabolism and hormone function. This is why getting to the root cause of the issue is so important! If we address this, the fat loss will be a result of fixing the bigger issue.

What’s the best peptide for mycotoxins with comprised detox pathways?

Thymosin Alpha 1, MOTS-C, SS-31 and 5-amino 1MQ are all great options for mycotoxin illness and aiding an optimal detoxification!
