The Incredible Benefits of Peptide Therapy
WHAT IS PEPTIDE THERAPY
Peptide Therapy is designed to enhance quality of life and longevity by reversing aging effects. This innovative therapy improves sleep, muscle mass, libido, and slows aging, using amino acid sequences (peptides) that communicate with various body functions. By binding to cell receptors, peptides optimize health, impacting physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Popular among patients and physicians, peptide therapy offers safe, effective treatment options.

Sermorelin Peptide for Growth Hormone Stimulation
Overview of Sermorelin Peptide Therapy
Sermorelin is a growth hormone-releasing peptide that enhances human growth hormone (hGH) levels, positively impacting energy, sleep, muscle, and bone health. Peptide therapy with Sermorelin helps counter low GH levels for better vitality.
Usage of Sermorelin
Is Sermorelin Meant to Be Used Continuously?
Continuous use is optional; some clients use it regularly, while others take it periodically to regain energy and vitality.
Expected Benefits Timeline
How Long Does It Take for Benefits to Appear?
Sleep improvements are noticeable within days, while stamina, strength, and body composition benefits appear within 1-2 weeks.
Safety and Side Effects
Are There Any Side Effects?
Sermorelin is generally safe, with minimal side effects, mainly limited to mild local irritation from self-injection. It mimics natural peptides, making it well-tolerated.
Whether you decide to use Sermorelin continuously is completely up to you! The most important thing is that you are seeing improvements in your quality of life. Some of our clients prefer to take it continuously. In contrast, others make use of peptide therapy on a semi-regular basis whenever they feel they need some help to regain some energy and vigour in their daily life.
When taking Sermorelin, the first effect you will notice is improvements in the amount and quality of sleep you can achieve. These effects typically appear within a few days of beginning therapy. The other effects, such as increased stamina, strength, and improvements in body composition, will become visible soon after, between several days and two weeks after beginning therapy.
Sermorelin has an excellent adverse effect profile. Your physiology is perfectly capable of regulating the medication, as it is very similar to the peptides and hormones that would otherwise be present in your body. You may experience some adverse effects related to self-injection, such as local irritation. However, Sermorelin is perfectly safe and comes with very minimal, if any, side effects.

Bremelanotide (PT-141) for Intimacy Enhancement
Overview of Bremelanotide Peptide Therapy
Bremelanotide is a peptide therapy that naturally enhances sexual desire and satisfaction in both men and women, without impacting the vascular system.
Common Questions about Bremelanotide
Can I Become Addicted to Bremelanotide?
No, Bremelanotide is non-addictive and safe for regular use without risk of dependency.
Difference Between Bremelanotide and Viagra
Unlike Viagra, which affects blood flow, Bremelanotide directly stimulates the central nervous system to enhance arousal.
Usage Instructions
Available as a nasal spray or subcutaneous injection, Bremelanotide should be taken 30-60 minutes before intimacy.
Frequency of Use
Recommended usage is no more than once per day or eight times per month.
Drugs such as Viagra and Cialis enhance the effect of nitric oxide and, thus, stimulate blood flow. Unlike these drugs, bremelanotide increases sexual arousal by directly stimulating the central nervous system rather than the vascular system.
Bremelanotide is available in a nasal spray or self-injection. For self-injection, patients are directed to self-inject the medication subcutaneously, meaning under the skin, 30-60 minutes before sexual activity.
It is not recommended that bremelanotide be used more than eight times in a month or more than once in 24 hours.

Copper Peptide for Skin and Wound Healing
Overview of Copper Peptide Therapy
Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu) is a key ingredient in peptide therapy, known for aiding wound healing, reducing inflammation, and promoting collagen production for a youthful look as natural levels decline with age.
Application Guidelines
How to Use Copper Peptides
Available as a cream or injection, copper peptide is often used as a night cream. Start by incorporating it into your routine gradually.

Are There Side Effects?
While safe, using copper peptide in high doses may cause gastrointestinal discomfort due to its mineral content. Follow prescribed amounts.
Skincare Compatibility
Can Copper Peptide Be Used with Other Products?
Yes, copper peptide complements other skincare products. Recommended use is three times weekly, though it can be adjusted.
Copper peptide is available both in a cream or self-injection. We recommend using it as a night cream after washing your face. Begin by slowly incorporating its use into your existing skincare routine to test how your skin tolerates the new product. For example, you may begin by using our copper peptide cream on alternating nights. From then, you may increase the frequency of the application.
Copper peptide has a safe adverse effect profile. However, it is important to remember that copper is a trace mineral. As such, administration in authorized quantities may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. Never use more than the amount prescribed to you by your doctor.
Absolutely! Copper peptide can be the base of a healthy skincare routine or something used less frequently alongside other skincare products. We recommend using copper peptide three times per week, but you are more than free to use it more often!

Peptide therapy allows for the healthy production of growth hormones in the body. They are important for our growth, cell regeneration, and production. With PT, the body can enrich hormone levels similar to when you were younger. It provides the aging body with increased muscle mass and a boosted metabolism which helps burn fat.
It is easy to mix the two as they both provide patients with increased muscle mass and density. However, their chemical composition is remarkably different. While steroids increase muscle, it comes with a host of side effects that PT does not. With steroid use, you may feel bouts of anger, develop female-like breasts, and the hormonal imbalance is much more evident.
