WHAT ARE PEPTIDES?

Peptides, similar to proteins, are short chains of amino acids that our body naturally produces. They act as signalling molecules within the body, instructing other cells and molecules on what functions to perform. There are over 7000 known peptides in our bodies, and all these different peptides have a wide range of functions, including immune system health, weight loss, improved cognitive function, and many more.

WHAT IS PEPTIDE THERAPY?

While our bodies do naturally produce peptides, the production of peptides in individuals can vary greatly, and we generally see a decline in our bodies’ production of peptides as we age. This is where peptide therapy comes in. Therapy with peptides uses those sequences already present to regulate and rejuvenate functions, basically, they bind to and tell other cells what to do, replacing or mimicking the functions of naturally occurring peptides Peptide therapy is the use of peptides in treatment to direct cells to perform the function specific to the peptide being used. Since our bodies naturally produce many kinds of peptides, there are many different types of peptide therapy, all of which are used to trigger a specific function within the body.

CJC-1295/ Ipamorelin

CJC-1295 is an incredibly effective growth hormone secretagogue. This means that it stimulates the release of your own body’s growth hormone. After the age of 30, growth hormone levels drop by 15% on average for every decade of life. CJC-1295 is able to increase growth hormone naturally by binding to receptors for growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) on your pituitary gland.

This turns on a hormonal switch that otherwise loses its ability to function optimally as we age. In one study completed with healthy men and women between the ages of 21 and 61, CJC-1295 was able to increase serum growth hormone levels by 200-1000%. In these subjects, elevated growth hormone production and release continued for up to 6 days due to CJC-1295 having a half life of about 6-8 days – a relatively long duration compared to other peptides that also act on the GHRH receptors. Interestingly, it’s potency as a growth secretagogue is just one reason that CJC-1295 has become such an effective tool for safely increasing growth hormone levels.

Thanks to the fact that CJC-1925 turns on the switch to produce and release growth hormone in a biologically harmonious way, you are able to achieve increased growth hormone levels without having to resort to the traditional HGH treatment, which is notoriously rife with major side effects. On the other hand, the side effects of CJC-1925 are generally mild and transient, with the most common being an irritation at the injection site, headache, flushing and dizziness.

While CJC-1295 binds to GHRH receptors, Ipamorelin stimulates the production and release of growth hormone by binding to receptors for the little-known hormone named ghrelin on your pituitary gland. Ghrelin is one of three hormones that act to regulate the release of growth hormone (the other two being somatostatin which stops release, and GHRH). Because they turn on completely different hormonal switches, clients prefer to buy CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin stacked together, because they create an even more profound effect than either could cause in isolation CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin work together well for many reasons. They activate separate switches or receptors on the pituitary gland. This results in the increased production and release of growth hormone in a natural and biologically regulated way. The other reason that so many clients choose to buy CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin together, is that it takes 1-4 hours to reach peak serum levels, while Ipamorelin works much more rapidly and is essentially cleared from your system quickly as it’s half life is about 2 hours. Ipamorelin gets to work quickly and begins stimulating growth hormone release before being broken down in your body, right when CJC-1925 is beginning to take effect, a one-two punch for increasing growth hormone levels. Unlike some treatments that increase growth hormone levels, these two peptides are incredibly specific. Neither Ipamorelin nor CJC-1295 have an effect on other hormones, particularly cortisol which is commonly elevated as a result of some peptide treatments

What Are The Benefits of

CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin?

There are many benefits to CJC 1295 and Ipamorelin. Studies have shown that the results are safe and therapeutic for healthy adults. Some of the amazing benefits for CJC 1295 and Ipamorelin are:

  • An Increase in Lean Muscle Mass

  • A decrease in Body Fat Percentage

  • Significantly increased Collagen,elastin and fibrin production

  • Improved skin tone and texture

    resulting in fewer wrinkles

  • Increased Restful Sleep Stages

    naturally (Stages III and IV)

  • Increase in Energy Levels

  • Enhanced Libido

  • Improved Cardiovascular Function

  • Stronger Immune system

  • Decreased Joint and Muscle Pain

  • Enhanced Healing after Injury

  • Improved mental clarity

  • Slowed aging process


  • Typical Usage

    CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin is commonly taken by subcutaneous injection, which is an injection under the skin but not in the muscle. The best time to take the injection is in the evening before bed since that correlates better with the natural secretion of growth hormone.

    All doses are taken on empty stomach 1hr prior or 1 to 1- 1/2hrs after eating. Ipamorelin/CJC-1295 is usually taken for 12-16wks at a time and up to 6 months for maximum results.

    PT-141

    What is PT-141?

    PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is peptide hormone that activates melanocortin receptors. PT-141 binds primarily to melanocortin 4 receptor (MC-4R) and MC-1R. MC-4R is known to produce sexual arousal in the central nervous system and influence sexual behavior. PT-141 has been shown to have substantial effect on libido, creating sexual arousal in both men and women. It uses a different pathway than medications like Viagra.

    The potency of the medication can last hours. PT-141 is an exciting new option in addressing erectile dysfunction with the further benefit of increased arousal and libido. It is proven beneficial in the treatment of mild-to-moderate erectile dysfunction With proper dosing PT-141 acts within 30 minutes and effects may be felt up to 12 hours from the time of administration and have been known to last for up to 3 days, diminishing each day. PT 141 increases sexual desire via the central nervous system and does not act upon the vascular system.  Mechanism of Action: PT-141 binds to melanocortin receptors (MC3-R and MC4-R) in the hypothalamus in the brain. Activation of these brain neurons has a direct erectogenic effect resulting in on-demand erections

    What are the Effects of PT 141 in Women ? 

    PT-141 is sometimes referred to as the female Viagra because it is the only known medication that can be taken as needed to rapidly boost libido and sexual performance in women. Aside from its ability to promote sexual health. Recent studies have shown that over 43% of the women in the United States experience little or no sexual satisfaction from orgasm and only 25% achieve orgasm with intercourse.

    Fortunately, there are libido treatments for women who desire greater sexual fulfillment, greater intimacy and enhanced relationships. More women reported moderate or high sexual desire following bremelanotide treatment vs. placebo. Among women who attempted sexual intercourse within 24 hours after treatment, significantly more were satisfied with their level of sexual arousal following bremelanotide, compared with placebo.

    Route of Administration: PT-141 is administered as a subcutaneous injection that can be easily injected into the abdomen. The small dose also makes traveling with PT-141 relatively simple. Given that everyone responds differently to Bremelanotide PT-141, effective dosages may vary. A 2mg dose is generally effective for men and women, about 1 hour prior to sexual activity. Some studies suggest starting with a 1mg test dose and injecting an identical amount 30 minutes later. By consulting Dr Pretorius, you can receive protocol best suited for your condition. In studies, some subjects responded to PT-141 in minutes while others took several hours to see the effects.

    Your PT-141 Results

    You may feel the effects of your peptide therapy within minutes, though it could take a few hours.

    Effects of PT-141 therapy may last up to 24 hours. As a result of their peptide therapy, some men have described having longer-lasting erections, up to 2-6 hours.

    Side Effects

    The most commonly occurring side effect is nausea. Other, less common side effects include flushing and headache.
