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:

  1. 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

  2. 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​.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme essential for cellular energy production, DNA repair, and anti-aging mechanisms. NAD+ is one of the body’s most vital and fascinating compounds, involved in over 500 enzymatic reactions and regulating nearly all major biological functions. Most notably, it may contribute to healthier and longer lives. This molecule has gained attention as a key regulator of cellular activities that help the body adapt to stress. Small molecules known as NAD+ boosters, which increase NAD+ levels, are now regarded as highly promising for treating various diseases and potentially extending human life. The age-related decline in NAD+ is believed to contribute to numerous health issues, including hearing and vision loss, cognitive and motor impairment, immune system deficiencies, autoimmune conditions, and inflammatory disorders such as arthritis, metabolic dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease.

Nicotinamide adenine nucleotide (NAD+)

NAD+ injections provide numerous advantages, primarily due to their role in enhancing cellular functions and overall well-being. Key benefits include:

• Boosted Energy Levels: NAD+ enhances cellular metabolism, increasing energy production and reducing fatigue.

• Anti-Aging Properties: By supporting cellular repair and health, NAD+ may help slow the effects of aging.

• Improved Cognitive Performance: Promotes brain health, enhancing memory, focus, and overall mental clarity.

• Mood Enhancement: Contributes to improved mood and helps alleviate symptoms of depression, fostering emotional wellness.

• Detoxification Assistance: Facilitates the breakdown and elimination of harmful substances from the body.

• DNA Repair Support: Plays a role in repairing damaged DNA, promoting cellular health and longevity.
