Peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids—the building blocks of proteins. Think of them as messengers in your body that signal cells to perform specific functions. These functions can include repairing tissue, regulating hormones, enhancing immune function, reducing inflammation, and even promoting longevity.

The “Body Protection Compound”
Originally isolated from human gastric juice, BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide that’s derived from a protective protein found in the stomach lining. It’s gained attention for its remarkable regenerative properties.
-
Accelerated Healing
Speeds up tissue repair in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and skin
Useful for post-surgical recovery and injury rehab
Gut Repair
Helps heal leaky gut, ulcers, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), and gut lining damage
Protective effect against NSAID-induced gastric injury
Anti-Inflammatory Action
Systemic inflammation reducer without immune suppression
May help in chronic inflammatory conditions
Neuroprotective Effects
Supports nerve regeneration
May aid in recovery from brain injuries, strokes, or perip/ neuropathies
Improved Blood Flow
Promotes angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)
Enhances circulation to damaged tissues for faster healing
Tendon and Ligament Regeneration
Encourages fibroblast migration and collagen production
Particularly helpful in tendonitis, ligament sprains, and joint pain
-
Soft tissue recovery
Gut repair
Chronic pain and inflammation management
Muscle tears, strains, and joint injuries
Tendonitis and ligament damage (e.g., ACL, rotator cuff, tennis elbow)
IBD (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis), leaky gut, GERD
Post-surgical healing
Neuropathy and nerve injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke recovery
Mood disorders (adjunctive)
Autoimmune and inflammatory disorders
-
Pregnancy
Breastfeeding
Active or recent history of cancer (use caution due to possible growth-promoting effects)
Do not take with NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aleve, etc.) as it will counteract the benefits
-
The “Longevity Peptide”
Discovered by Russian scientist Dr. Vladimir Khavinson in the 1980s, Epitalon is a tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) known for its ability to stimulate the pineal gland and enhance melatonin production. It’s most recognized for its telomere-lengthening effects—a hallmark of cellular anti-aging.
-
Telomere Lengthening
One of the few compounds shown to reactivate telomerase, the enzyme that rebuilds telomeres-protective caps on DNA that shorten with age
Longer telomeres = improved cellular longevity and function
Anti-Aging & Longevity
Shown in animal and limited human studies to extend lifespan
Delays age-related diseases and cellular aging markers
Improved Sleep & Melatonin Production
Restores pineal gland function, increasing natural melatonin
Helps reset circadian rhythm-especially useful for shift workers, jet lag, or aging individuals
Immune System Rejuvenation
Enhances immune function, especially T-cell activity, making it beneficial for older adults or those with chronic immune challenges
Mitochondrial Health & Oxidative Stress Reduction
Improves mitochondrial function, reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS), and enhances overall vitality
Mood, Brain Function & Neuroprotection
May enhance mood, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression
Shown to support cognitive performance, especially in aging individuals
-
Anti-aging and longevity support
Immune optimization
Healthy aging for brain and body
Circadian rhythm regulation, poor sleep or melatonin deficiency
Hormone imbalance from aging
Early neurodegenerative changes (adjunctively)
-
Pregnancy
Breastfeeding

The “Growth Hormone Optimization Combo”
CJC-1295 is a synthetic peptide that stimulates the release of growth hormone via its action on the pituitary gland. When combined with Ipamorelin, a growth hormone secretagogue, the result is a synergistic boost in natural growth hormone production without the negative feedback loop seen with synthetic HGH.
-
Increased Growth Hormone & IGF-1
Enhances muscle growth, repair, and regeneration
Boosts recovery after workouts, injuries, or surgery
Fat Loss
Promotes lipolysis (fat burning), especially stubborn visceral fat
Can improve body composition over time
Improves sleep quality and recovery
Deepens slow-wave (restorative) sleep, crucial for healing and GH release
Many users report vivid dreams and waking up more refreshed
Anti-aging Effects
Improves skin elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and supports collagen production
Enhances bone density, immune function, and energy
Enhanced Athletic Performance & Recovery
Faster recovery between workouts
Increased stamina and reduced DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness)
Cognitive & Mood Support
GH and IGF-1 have neuroprotective effects
May improve mental clarity, mood, and motivation
-
Muscle and strength optimization
Anti-aging and body composition
Enhanced recovery from workouts or injury
Improved sleep and vitality
-
Pregnancy
Breastfeeding
Active or past history of cancer, especially breast cancer or other hormone-sensitive cancers
FAQ
-
Yes! All three peptides are administered via SubQ injections in the stomach.
-
BPC-157: Many clients report noticeable improvement in pain, inflammation, or gut symptoms within 1–2 weeks, especially for acute injuries or digestive issues. Chronic conditions may take 4+ weeks for full benefit. Typical cycles go for 8 weeks followed by an 8 week break. Repeating cycles has a cumulative effect.
CJC-1295/Ipamorelin: Results typically become noticeable after 3–4 weeks, with full effects (e.g. fat loss, improved sleep, muscle recovery) more prominent around 8–12 weeks as growth hormone levels gradually increase. The cycle may be repeated after a 4-8 week break. Repeating cycles has a cumulative effect.
Epitalon: This peptide works more gradually. You may notice improved sleep quality and circadian rhythm within 2–4 weeks. Anti-aging and longevity benefits are typically measured over months, often after 2–3 cycles per year. Repeating cycles has a cumulative effect.
-
BPC-157:
Dose: 200–500 mcg once or twice daily.
Cycle: Typically taken for 4–8 weeks, depending on healing goals; longer use may be appropriate for chronic GI or joint issues. It is recommended to follow the cycle with an 8 week break.
CJC-1295/Ipamorelin:
Dose: 100–300 mcg per injection (usually at night, to align with natural GH release)
Cycle: 8-12 weeks is common for body composition, anti-aging, or performance goals. Recommended to follow with a 4 week break before repeating a cycle, if desired.
Epitalon:
Dose: 10-20 mg daily
Cycle: Often used in 10–20 day cycles, repeated 1–3 times per year depending on goals (especially for longevity or age 40+)

Most peptides are very well-tolerated. However, here are some potential side effects:
Most Common for All Peptides:
Mild injection site irritation (redness, itching, or tenderness)
BPC-157:
Rare: Temporary dizziness, nausea, or changes in blood pressure (very uncommon)
CJC-1295/Ipamorelin:
Mild water retention
Tingling or numbness (due to GH-related effects)
Slight increase in appetite in some individuals
Epitalon:
Mild sleep disturbances during adjustment (e.g., vivid dreams or feeling overly alert)
Rare: Headaches or fatigue during the first few days of use
If side effects occur, they’re typically mild and resolve quickly. Always consult with our provider team before starting or continuing therapy.
