7 Anti-Aging Benefits of Peptide Therapy and Human Growth Hormone (HGH)

Growth hormone deficiency increases as we age, causing a loss in muscle mass, decreased libido, and a reduction in skin elasticity and bone density. It can also contribute to weight gain or stubborn weight loss. Peptide therapy is a relatively new anti-aging treatment, which can reverse the effects of aging by rejuvenating the release of growth hormone in the body. The Ipamorelin/CJC 1295 formula which our practitioners recommend does this by stimulating production of IGF-1 by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. This combination also inhibits the release of somatostatin from the pituitary gland, which is a growth hormone inhibitory factor (GHIH). As compared to Sermorelin, Ipamorelin/CJC 1295 has a longer half-life, higher efficacy and more pronounced anti-aging benefits.

7 Uses and Benefits of Ipamorelin + CJC 1295

1. Decreases Body Fat – This combination of peptide therapy boosts fat metabolism and burns carbohydrates, which supports healthy weight loss.
2. Increases Muscle Mass – As we age, our muscle mass and muscle tone naturally declines, and this treatment can help to maintain a toned body shape.
3. Increases Vitality – a patient who is on this type of treatment long-term, may notice an increase in strength, energy and feel more youthful overall.
4. Improvements in Seep Quality – Another not-so-fun consequence of aging is the decrease in slow wave sleep. The Ipamorelin/CJC 1295 combination stimulates deep sleep, which allows the brain to relax, thereby reducing stress and anxiety.
5. Increases Bone Density – This combination peptide therapy is great for both men and women alike in preventing the development of osteoporosis. It is especially beneficial for post-menopausal women who are at a higher risk for osteoporosis.
6. Boosts Immunity – Anti-aging peptide therapy will enhance your immune function, making you less susceptible to disease and infection.
7. Rejuvenates the Skin – Wrinkles, uneven skin, poor elasticity and pigmentation get worse as growth hormone is depleted by the aging process. Ipamorelin/CJC 1295 enhances growth hormone production, which in turn promotes skin elasticity and eliminates crepey skin.

Possible Side Effects and Adverse Reactions
The Ipamorelin/CJC 1295 combination is a new and improved formula for Sermorelin, which eliminates many of the negative side effects patients used to experience from using Sermorelin. Adverse reactions and side effects are limited but may include reactions at the injection site, including redness, swelling or flushing of the face. In clinical trials, less than 1% of patients experienced dizziness, headache or hyperactivity after long-term treatment with peptide therapy. Overall, the peer-reviewed literature on the safety and efficacy of exogenous growth hormones have found that there are no potential side effects. 

How to Use
Ipamorelin/CJC 1295 is a daily injection prescribed by one of our practitioners and created by an accredited and fully licensed compounding pharmacy. The medication is shipped to the patient's house with instructions on how to self-administer.
