Human Growth Hormone
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) levels peak while you’re a teenager and into early adulthood. Levels decline rapidly after the age of 30 and result in a myriad of symptoms that are usually associated with “getting older.”
Symptoms typically include an increase in body fat, loss in muscle mass and strength, fatigue, decreased sex drive, cognitive decline, and a myriad of “age associated” symptoms. Replacing HGH itself is very expensive and can only be prescribed based off strict FDA guidelines. This is where peptides come in.
HGH secretagogues are medications that naturally increase the bodies ability to produce its own HGH These medications are typically administered on a daily basis and are injectable or in pill form.
HGH Releasing Peptide
Diagnosing Growth Hormone Insufficiency:
We diagnose growth hormone insufficiency by testing your insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) which is part of the initial blood work every man gets during their first visit at True North Health & Wellness. IGF-1 is produced by the liver in response to circulating HGH that is secreted while you sleep. The higher the IGF-1 levels, the more growth hormone the body is producing. If IGF-1 levels are low, it indicates that your body is not producing enough HGH.
IGF-1 levels peak when you’re a teenager and are typically in the 400-500 range. These levels drop as we age and by the time you are in your 40s, levels hover in the 100-200 range. If your IGF-1 levels are low and you begin peptide treatment, we target IGF-1 levels in the 200-300 range.
Benefits of Growth Hormone Restoration:
Improved sleep and recovery
Improve mood and well-being
Weight loss
Increased lean muscle mass and strength
Strengthens the immune system
Increased bone density
Increased Energy
Different types of growth hormone peptides:
Sermorelin: Sermorelin is a Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone Analog that stimulates the production of HGH. It is taken nightly and improves sleep quality. In addition, it aids in fat loss, improves muscle composition and anecdotally improves mood and well-being
Tesamorelin: Tesamorelin is a synthetic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analogue that stimulates the production of HGH. Tesamorelin offers several benefits: Reduction of abdominal fat, improved sleep and physical appearance, Muscle preservation.
TB 500
TB-500 peptide is a synthetic version of naturally occurring thymosin beta 4, a protein found in nearly all human and animal cells. This powerful peptide promotes healing, enhances strength, flexibility and endurance, reduces inflammation of tissue in joints, and encourages hair growth.
Research has shown that TB-500 substantially aids in the recovery and healing of injuries that would typically take months to heal, such as tendonitis, ligament damage, and fractures. Its regenerative properties have also been recognized in various kinds of heart tissue.
TB-500 is not only effective in athletes for its injury recovery and performance-enhancing properties but also among those suffering from acute and chronic injuries or disease. It offers potential help for individuals looking to promote wound healing, decrease inflammation, and recover faster from surgeries or illnesses.
Pentadeca Arginate (PDA)
Pentadeca Arginate: Unlocking the Power of Regeneration
Pentadeca Arginate, also known as Peptide PDA, is a bioactive compound that has gained significant attention for its remarkable regenerative and healing properties. Derived from the peptide sequence BPC-157, which is naturally found in human gastric juice, this compound has demonstrated its ability to enhance tissue repair, promote muscle growth, and support overall sports performance.
One of the primary benefits of Pentadeca Arginate is its capacity to accelerate the healing of wounds, tendons, and ligaments. By supporting the body's natural processes, this peptide can help reduce inflammation and facilitate the repair of damaged tissues, enabling faster recovery and improved overall function.
Moreover, Pentadeca Arginate has been shown to aid in muscle growth and development. By optimizing cellular function, this compound can contribute to the building and maintenance of lean muscle mass, making it a valuable asset for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.
Beyond its regenerative and muscle-building properties, Pentadeca Arginate has also been recognized for its protective effects on vital organs, including the heart and stomach. This peptide's ability to safeguard these essential systems can have far-reaching implications for overall health and well-being.
As a testament to its versatility and efficacy, Pentadeca Arginate has garnered significant interest in the health and wellness community, with ongoing research exploring its potential applications in various areas of medicine and sports performance enhancement.
Benefits of Pentadeca Arginate (PDA)
Tissue Repair and Wound Healing: Pentadeca Arginate accelerates the healing of different types of wounds, including tendon-to-bone healing and damaged ligaments. It also aids in skin burn recovery and increases blood flow to damaged tissues, which helps in quicker recovery post-injury.
Muscle Growth and Sports Performance: This peptide is beneficial for muscle growth, fat loss, and overall sports performance by naturally supporting the body’s mechanisms to build muscle and maintain body composition.
Anti-Aging: Pentadeca Arginate improves overall cellular function and longevity, making it a key component in anti-aging protocols. It enhances cellular health and resilience, contributing to reduced signs of aging and improved vitality.
Pain Reduction: It helps decrease pain in damaged areas, making it useful for those suffering from discomfort due to muscle sprains, tears, and damage.
Inflammation and Intestinal Health: The peptide reduces inflammation and protects organs, including the stomach, where it can prevent ulcers and aid in the healing of intestinal issues,
Collagen Synthesis: Pentadeca Arginate increases collagen synthesis, which is important for skin health and overall tissue strength.
Heart Protection: It has protective effects on the heart, contributing to cardiovascular health.
