What are Peptides?

Peptides are small, biological molecules that can be used by the body to send signals between different parts of itself. They are usually made up of just 2-3 amino acids connected together with peptide bonds.

They are the signaling molecules that communicate with our cells, telling them what to do. They serve as a crucial link in performing various critical functions like repairing tissues and hormones while sending out anti-inflammatory compounds for healing.

Peptide therapy is an adjunct and works in synergy with testosterone replacement therapy to improve treatment results and benefits.

Peptide Therapy

Peptide therapy is a cutting-edge medical treatment that utilizes naturally occurring peptides to regulate various bodily functions. Our clinic in Long Island offers peptide therapy services to help patients achieve optimal health and wellness.

Structurally speaking, peptides are related to amino acids and proteins in the following way:

  • Amino acids are individual molecules

  • Peptides are (generally) short chains of 2-50 amino acids

  • Proteins are (generally) long chains of 50+ amino acids

While some may think that peptides are an unproven alternative medicine, they have actually been used as life-saving medicines for over 100 years. Insulin & penicillin are all peptides that have contributed an irreplaceable amount of benefit to modern society.

We use safe and effective methods to administer peptide therapy. Our goal is to help you achieve your health goals and feel your best. Contact us today to learn more about our peptide therapy services in Long Island, NY.

Growth Hormone Peptides

Sermorelin

  • -Boost in energy

    -Better sleep quality

    -Mood enhancement

    -Improved skin quality

    -Burn fat

  • Sermorelin stimulates a patient's own pituitary gland to increase the production and secretion of growth hormone. Those who undergo this type of therapy experience an increase in muscle mass and a reduction in the amount of body fat and better sleep.

  • Sermorelin is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), which is produced by the hypothalamus in the brain. Its mechanism of action primarily involves stimulating the release of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland.

    Here's a step-by-step explanation of sermorelin's mechanism of action:

    Sermorelin administration: Sermorelin is usually administered as a subcutaneous injection, which means it is injected just under the skin. This allows it to be absorbed into the bloodstream and carried to its target cells.

    Binding to GHRH receptors: Sermorelin binds to specific GHRH receptors on the surface of cells in the anterior pituitary gland, which is a pea-sized gland at the base of the brain that plays a crucial role in hormone production and regulation.

    Stimulating growth hormone release: Once sermorelin is bound to its receptors, it triggers a cascade of intracellular signaling events that ultimately stimulate the release of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland. This process is known as growth hormone secretion.

    Effects on target tissues: GH then enters the bloodstream and travels to various target tissues throughout the body, where it exerts its effects. Some of these effects include stimulating cell growth, regeneration, and repair, as well as promoting protein synthesis, fat metabolism, and carbohydrate metabolism.

    It's important to note that sermorelin acts in a manner similar to the body's natural GHRH, which means its effects are regulated by the body's own feedback mechanisms. This helps maintain normal levels of GH in the body and reduces the risk of side effects associated with excessive GH levels.

Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin Combination

  • -Significant IGF-1 increase

    -Reduced visceral fat

    -Increased muscle mass

    -Reduced liver fat

    -Improved cardiovascular health

    -Reduced LDL cholesterol

    -Improved cognitive function

    -Accelerated recovery time after workouts

  • Once Tesamorelin is inside the human body, the peptide binds to GHRH receptors to stimulate the pituitary gland into releasing growth hormone at a rate similar to the body’s naturally occurring GHRH traveling through the bloodstream. Once more growth hormone is released, it boosts metabolism and improves muscle growth, which helps to burn more calories and decrease body fat. The peptide can also help to increase insulin growth factor (IGF-1), which can help to lower glucose levels and further stimulate weight loss. As a result, Tesamorelin can help reduce visceral adipose tissue, leading to improved belly appearance, size, and waist circumference.

    Recently, those seeking to restore their youthful vitality are gravitating towards the combination of two Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides (GHRP) Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin. Together, these two compounds work synergistically to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce and secrete your own natural growth hormone at more youthful levels.

CJC-1295/Ipamorelin Combination

  • -Increase and improve bone density

    -Increase muscle mass

    -Increase ability to burn fat

    -Improve cardiovascular health

    -Improve sex drive

    -Help recover from injuries

  • -CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are typically combined in therapy because they are known to work very well together. CJC-1295 takes anywhere from 1-4 hours to reach peak serum in the blood, while Ipamorelin works much quicker.


    -When CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin are expertly combined, your body produces a stronger and more steady release of HGH. Ipamorelin releases the pulse of HGH, and the CJC-1295 releases and amplifies this pulse.

  • Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 are both synthetic peptides that, when used in combination, can synergistically enhance the release of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland. Individually, each peptide has its own unique mechanism of action, and when combined, they work together to provide a more robust increase in GH secretion.

    IIpamorelin is a selective GH secretagogue, which means it stimulates the release of GH from the pituitary gland. It does this by mimicking the effects of the naturally occurring hormone ghrelin, which is known to promote GH release. Ipamorelin binds to the ghrelin receptor (GHSR) in the pituitary gland, stimulating the release of GH.

    CJC-1295 is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and is also known as a GHRH mimetic. It functions by binding to the GHRH receptors on the surface of the anterior pituitary gland, which in turn stimulates the release of GH. CJC-1295 has been modified from its natural counterpart to provide a longer half-life, which means it stays active in the body for an extended period of time, leading to a more sustained release of GH

    When Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 are used together, they act on different receptor systems within the anterior pituitary gland, which leads to a synergistic effect on GH release. This combination can result in a more significant increase in GH levels than either peptide would be able to achieve alone.

    The increased GH levels in the body can promote various physiological effects, including:

    -Enhanced muscle growth and recovery

    -Increased fat metabolism, leading to fat loss

    -Improved bone density and joint health

    -Better skin elasticity and reduced signs of aging

    -Enhanced immune function

    It is important to note that while the combination of Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 has demonstrated promising results, further research and long-term studies are needed to fully understand their potential benefits and possible side effects. It is also crucial to consult a healthcare professional before starting any peptide therapy to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your specific needs.

IGF-1 LR3

  • -Protein synthesis in the body

    -Fat storage is channeled for energy production, which results in a noticeable fat loss.

    -Positive effects on metabolism, increasing lean body mass and decreasing fat

    -Increase in regenerative properties of the body’s nerve tissues

    -Upregulates antioxidant benefit and ligament strength

    -Boosts hyperplasia in muscle cells, which leads to fuller muscle tissues.

    -Improved cognitive function

  • IGF-1 is an important protein in our bodies that helps with muscle growth and other functions. However, its natural form doesn't last very long in the body, so scientists created a modified version called IGF-1 LR3. This modified version has a longer half-life (about 20-30 hours) and is more potent than regular IGF-1.

    Because of its longer half-life, IGF-1 LR3 can work throughout the day, binding to muscle cell receptors and improving muscle growth rate. It also helps burn fat by inhibiting glucose movement into cells, using fat for energy production.

    The great thing about IGF-1 LR3 is that it doesn't require site injections like some other treatments. It cycles through the whole body, binding to muscle receptors, and stays active for about a day. That's why many patients and physicians prefer it, and a daily administration is usually recommended for the best results.

  • Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Long R3 (IGF-1 LR3) is a synthetic analog of human IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1) and is used in various research and medical applications. Its mechanism of action is complex and involves several steps in cellular signaling and growth regulation. Here's a simplified overview of the mechanism of action of IGF-1 LR3:

    Binding to the IGF-1 Receptor (IGF-1R): IGF-1 LR3 first binds to the IGF-1 receptor, which is a transmembrane receptor located on the cell surface.

    Activation of the IGF-1R: Binding of IGF-1 LR3 to the IGF-1 receptor causes the receptor to autophosphorylate, triggering a cascade of intracellular events.

    Activation of the PI3K-AKT Pathway: The activated IGF-1 receptor activates the PI3K (Phosphoinositide 3-kinase) pathway, which in turn activates the protein kinase AKT. AKT is a key mediator of cell survival and growth.

    Activation of the MAPK Pathway: In addition to the PI3K-AKT pathway, IGF-1 LR3 also activates the MAPK (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase) pathway. This pathway plays a role in cell proliferation and differentiation.

    Stimulation of Protein Synthesis: Activation of AKT and MAPK pathways ultimately leads to the stimulation of protein synthesis within the cell. This is crucial for cellular growth and tissue repair.

    Inhibition of Apoptosis (Programmed Cell Death): IGF-1 LR3 also helps inhibit apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death. This anti-apoptotic effect contributes to cell survival and growth.

    Cellular Proliferation and Growth: Overall, the activation of these signaling pathways and the inhibition of apoptosis promote cellular proliferation and growth. This can lead to increased muscle growth, tissue repair, and other physiological effects.

    IGF-1 LR3 is often used in research and clinical settings to study its effects on cell growth and differentiation. It has also gained attention in the bodybuilding and athletic communities due to its potential to promote muscle growth and recovery. However, its use in these contexts is often controversial and subject to regulation because of potential misuse and side effects.

    It's important to note that the precise mechanisms of action and the specific effects of IGF-1 LR3 can vary depending on the cell type and context in which it is used. Additionally, its clinical use is typically reserved for specific medical conditions and is closely monitored by healthcare professionals.

  • BPC-157, or Body Protection Compound-157, is a synthetic peptide consisting of 15 amino acids that is derived from a naturally occurring peptide found in human gastric juice. It has been the subject of research for its potential tissue repair and healing properties. BPC-157's mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve the modulation of various growth factors, inflammatory mediators, and cellular processes that contribute to tissue repair and regeneration.

    Here are some key aspects of BPC-157's mechanism of action:

    Modulation of growth factors: BPC-157 is thought to promote the expression of growth factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which plays a crucial role in angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels). This can improve blood flow and nutrient delivery to damaged tissues, supporting their repair and regeneration.

    Regulation of inflammatory mediators: BPC-157 may help regulate the production and release of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and prostaglandins, which play a role in the body's inflammatory response. By modulating inflammation, BPC-157 may facilitate a more favorable environment for tissue healing.

    Promotion of tendon and ligament healing: BPC-157 has been shown in some studies to promote the healing of tendons and ligaments by stimulating the production of collagen, a structural protein that provides strength and support to these tissues.

    Modulation of nitric oxide (NO) production: BPC-157 may also influence the production of nitric oxide, a molecule that plays a role in vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), tissue repair, and the immune response.

    Protection against gastrointestinal injury: BPC-157 is believed to promote the healing of gastrointestinal tissues by increasing the production of protective factors, such as mucosal lining, and by reducing the secretion of stomach acids.

    It is important to note that while BPC-157 has shown promise in preclinical studies and some anecdotal reports, further research is needed to fully understand its mechanism of action and potential therapeutic applications. Moreover, BPC-157 is not approved for medical use by any regulatory agency, and its long-term safety and efficacy have not been established. As always, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional before considering the use of any investigational or experimental compounds.

  • NAD+ is a helper molecule that is present in all our body's cells. It's like a tiny machine that helps our bodies turn the food we eat into energy we can use. It also helps our bodies repair damaged DNA, which is the blueprint for all the cells in our body.

    How does NAD+ do all this? It works by helping other proteins in our body do their jobs better. These proteins are involved in things like fixing our DNA, keeping our cells healthy, and regulating our body's internal clock.

  • NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes. As of my last update in September 2021, here's a general overview of the mechanism of action for NAD+ and its potential benefits when administered as an injectable:

    Cellular Energy Production: NAD+ is essential for the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy currency of the cell. It is involved in the electron transport chain within mitochondria, where it facilitates the conversion of energy from nutrients into ATP.

    DNA Repair: NAD+ is a substrate for the enzyme PARP (poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase), which is involved in DNA repair. When DNA damage occurs, PARP uses NAD+ to help repair the damage and maintain genomic stability.

    Sirtuin Activation: NAD+ is a co-substrate for sirtuins, a family of proteins that regulate various cellular processes, including DNA repair, inflammation, metabolism, and lifespan. Sirtuins deacetylate proteins, which can lead to beneficial effects on cellular health and longevity.

    Calcium Signaling: NAD+ can influence calcium signaling in the cell, which plays a role in various cellular functions, including muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, and gene expression.

    Potential Anti-Aging Effects: There's growing interest in the potential anti-aging effects of NAD+ supplementation. As organisms age, NAD+ levels tend to decrease, which can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and other age-related ailments. By supplementing with NAD+ (or its precursors), there's a hypothesis that it might help counteract some of these age-related declines.

    Potential Neuroprotective Effects: Some studies have suggested that NAD+ might have neuroprotective effects, potentially helping to protect neurons from damage and supporting cognitive function.

    When NAD+ is administered as an injectable, it bypasses the digestive system and is delivered directly into the bloodstream. This can lead to a rapid increase in cellular NAD+ levels, which might provide therapeutic benefits in certain conditions.
