Sermorelin is a peptide hormone that is structurally similar to growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It is typically used to treat growth hormone deficiency in children and adults. It can also be used for other conditions, such as improving wound healing, reducing fat mass, and increasing muscle mass.
Sermorelin works by mimicking the action of GHRH and by binding to receptors in the brain that trigger the release of growth hormone. It is important to note that sermorelin is not a growth hormone itself, but rather it stimulates the body's own growth hormone production.
When injected into the body, it causes the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Sermorelin injections help to counteract decreases in muscle mass and bone density by stimulating the body's natural production of growth hormone.
Sermorelin therapy is a relatively new anti-aging therapy. However, some studies have already shown that sermorelin therapy is safe and effective for restoring normal growth hormone levels in adults.
Studies have shown that people have experienced significant improvements in their physical and mental health, as well as in their overall sense of well-being, along with feeling more energetic, sleeping better, having better skin and hair, and feeling more mentally sharp. They also reported a decrease in wrinkles, joint pain, and body fat.
Sermorelin therapy is an increasingly popular anti-aging treatment, and for good reason. It can improve our overall health and well-being as we age. By injecting sermorelin, we can help to restore the levels of growth hormone in our bodies, which can lead to a number of anti-aging benefits.
BPC-157
Promotes wound healing
Speeds up tissue regeneration
Reduces inflammation
Increases blood flow
Relieves joint pain
Boosts immune function
Improves muscle strength and endurance
Resolves neuronal damage
Prevents memory and coordination deficits
Boosts serotonin production - antidepressant and relieves stress
Peptides work by telling specific cells in your body to act in a specific way. Because BPC-157 affects tissue regeneration, inflammation, and blood flow, it can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including: gastric ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, joint pain, and erectile dysfunction.
BPC-157 is a healing peptide that been around a long time and is known to promote wound healing, speed up tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and relieve joint pain.
BPC-157 also resolves neuronal damage and prevents memory, locomotor, and coordination deficits.
It can boost serotonin production, which is the hormone that regulates mood and happiness. As a result, BPC-157 peptide therapy has been shown to have many antidepressant and stress-relieving effects.
CJC-1295/Ipamorelin
Increased growth hormone levels
Improved body composition
Improved fat loss
Enhanced recovery from workouts
Improved sleep quality
Increased energy levels
Improved mood and cognitive function
Accelerated wound healing
Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 are two peptides that are often stacked together due to their complementary effects. Ipamorelin is a growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP) that stimulates the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. CJC-1295 is a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog that stabilizes and prolongs the release of growth hormone.
When stacked together, Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 have been shown to have a number of potential benefits, including. Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 can increase growth hormone levels by up to 300%. This can lead to a number of benefits, including increased muscle mass, improved fat loss, and accelerated wound healing. Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 can also help to improve body composition by increasing muscle mass and reducing body fat. This can be beneficial for people who are looking to lose weight, build muscle, or improve their athletic performance.
Recovery from workouts can be quickened by reducing muscle soreness and inflammation, and promoting muscle protein synthesis. This can be beneficial for athletes and bodybuilders who are looking to train harder and recover faster.
Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 have been shown to improve sleep quality by increasing the production of growth hormone during sleep. Growth hormone is known to play a role in regulating sleep cycles and promoting deep sleep while also helping to increase energy levels by increasing the production of growth hormone and other hormones that are involved in energy metabolism. This can be beneficial for people who are feeling tired or fatigued.
In turn, this peptide has been shown to improve mood and cognitive function. Ipamorelin and CJC-1295, by increasing growth hormone levels, may also help to improve mood and cognitive function.
Tesamorelin
Reduced Fat Accumulation
Improved Body Composition
Improved Cognitive Function
Improved Bone Health
Tesamorelin was initially used to reduce excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients.
However, this medicine may be used for other purposes. Tesamorelin peptide therapy has gained popularity as a promising approach with several benefits, including reducing fat accumulation, improving body composition, and increasing lean muscle mass.
Tesamorelin stimulates the production of GHRH in the body, which in turn increases the production and release of endogenous growth hormone (GH). This increase in endogenous GH has several beneficial effects, including the reduction of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and liver fat.
Some studies suggest that Tesamorelin therapy can improve cognitive function, including memory and attention span. This could be beneficial in treating age-related cognitive decline. It also increases bone density and reduces the risk of fractures. This is beneficial in treating osteoporosis, a common age-related condition.
Ibutamorelin (MK-677)
Improved muscle-building
Increases appetite
Increases growth hormone levels
Improved Bone Health
Reduces muscle wasting
MK-677 (also known as ibutamoren), promotes the secretion of the growth hormone (GH) and increases insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Ibutamoren increases growth hormone levels by mimicking the action of the hormone ghrelin and binding to one of the ghrelin receptors (GHSR) in the brain.
Activated GHSR stimulates growth hormone release from the brain. Like ghrelin, ibutamoren increases it. GHSR is found in brain regions that control appetite, pleasure, mood, biological rhythms, memory, and cognition.
It increases growth hormone levels with little or no increase in other hormones, such as cortisol. Cortisol suppresses the immune system, reduces wound healing, and impairs learning and memory, and it’s usually not good to have this hormone elevated.
The benefits of MK-677 include muscle-building, a reduction in muscle wasting, better bone density, improved sleep, and anti-aging properties. It may also have nootropic effects and it can be beneficial in treating growth hormone deficiencies.
Ibutamoren is frequently used as an anabolic substance, to increase lean body mass. It is orally active and can be taken once a day. Growth Hormone is believed by many to stimulate an increase in muscle size and strength and the ability of MK-677 to increase Growth Hormone production make it a popular choice. MK-677 has shown in recent studies to alleviate muscle wasting that can be caused by a decline in protein within an individual’s diet.
Several studies have indicated that long-term use of MK-677 can have tremendous results to increase bone mineral density. This finding can benefit several populations including obese individuals, older adults, and women with menopause. These distinct populations can have detrimental health problems due to low bone mineral density and MK-677 has proven to be an effective treatment for many of them.
Since Growth Hormone is known to help improve sleep quality, it is commonly thought that Ibutamoren Mesylate can assist with sleep quality since it stimulates production in Growth Hormone.
A study showed that in both younger and elderly subjects, ibutamoren improved sleep quality and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep duration.
Selank
Enhance memory
Reduce anxiety and depression
Reduce stress levels
Improve attention span
Help with alcohol withdrawal
Selank is a peptide that is a synthetic analog of tuftsin, a natural immune stimulating peptide. Unlike other peptides, which need to be taken as an injection, this one is a convenient nasal spray. It has various effects on nerve cells to decrease anxiety, improve cognitive functions and more.
In addition to its anxiolytic and nootropic effects, Selank has been shown to possess neuroprotective properties. Research found that Selank could protect neurons from oxidative stress, suggesting potential applications in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Given its anxiolytic, nootropic, and neuroprotective effects, Selank has been proposed as a potential therapeutic agent for a variety of conditions, including anxiety disorders, cognitive disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. has been found that Selank could improve symptoms in patients with generalized anxiety disorder, indicating its potential as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of anxiety disorders.
As with any peptide therapy, a talk with Dr. Cullison is required to address context of lab studies and fully understand the potential effects and applications of Selank in humans.
AOD-9604
Decreases growth of new fat
Increases the number of calories burned
Boosts metabolism
Encourages bone and cartilage repair
Regulates blood sugar
AOD 9604 peptide, also called the fat-burning peptide, is an anti-obesity drug (AOD) that can also be used for losing weight for non-obese patients. AOD is a reconstructed form of the amino acids 176-191 and is a synthetic lipolytic domain, meaning it serves as a synthetic alternative for the natural growth hormone produced by your body. AOD peptide therapy is a great option for those looking to burn body fat, boost fat metabolism, and support a healthy diet. If you’re looking for an alternative treatment from GLP-1’s to encourage significant weight loss, AOD 9604 might be the solution you’ve been searching for.
Once taken, AOD 9604 peptide stimulates the pituitary gland, mimicking the human growth hormone and speeding up the body’s metabolism. Human growth hormones dictate things like our metabolism and body composition. AOD 9604 works by stimulating the release of fatty tissue while preventing fatty tissue growth. Once your metabolism is regulated, your body will start to burn fat at a quicker rate. This can also help you build muscle mass. Thanks to fat loss, you may see a significant decrease in your body weight.
In addition to fat loss, AOD 9604 peptide therapy can help those struggling with other health problems, such as osteoarthritis, diabetes, bone damage, and depression.
SS-31 (Elamipretide)
Decreases growth of new fat
Increases the number of calories burned
Boosts metabolism
Encourages bone and cartilage repair
Regulates blood sugar
This a mitochondria-targeting peptide designed to improve how the “power plants” of your cells function. Unlike many peptides that act on receptors outside the cell, SS-31 works inside mitochondria by binding to a key membrane lipid called cardiolipin, helping stabilize mitochondrial structure and improve energy production (ATP).
Potential benefits:
Improves cellular energy production by supporting mitochondrial efficiency and ATP output.
Reduces oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage, which are linked to aging and chronic disease.
Supports heart, muscle, and brain function, especially where energy demand is high.
May improve muscle performance and recovery by enhancing mitochondrial responsiveness and energy metabolism.
Neuroprotective effects have been observed in research models, including improved memory and protection against mitochondrial dysfunction in the brain.
In short, SS-31 is a peptide that targets the root cause of many age-related declines — mitochondrial dysfunction — which is why it’s gaining attention in longevity, metabolic health, and performance medicine.
PT-141
Increased sexual desire and libido
Improved sexual arousal and performance
Improved erectile function
Enhanced orgasmic response
Improved emotional connection and intimacy
PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, acts as a melanocortin receptor agonist that stimulates melanocortin receptors in the brain associated with sexual desire and arousal.
PT-141 promotes an increase in libido and sexual function for both men and women. PT-141 offers a unique and innovative solution for individuals seeking to enhance their intimate experiences.
It is administered either through subcutaneous injections or as a troche and is an effective treatment for a variety of sexual dysfunction issues such as erectile dysfunction, low libido, and female sexual arousal disorder.
NAD+
May slow signs of aging
Supports metabolic function and assists in weight loss
May aid addiction recovery
May help reduce chronic pain
Supports cognitive function
Boost energy and reduce fatigue
May help manage anxiety and depression
Technically not a peptide, NAD+ therapy is another innovative approach to enhancing health and wellness. NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in the human body that plays a critical role in various cellular energy function and is involved in many cellular processes in the body, including energy production and DNA repair. NAD+ is a cofactor that helps produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell. As we age, our natural levels of NAD+ naturally decline, which can contribute to a variety of health issues, including chronic fatigue, cognitive decline, and inflammation.
NAD+ therapy involves the administration of NAD+ directly into the body. This can help replenish NAD+ levels and promote cellular health and vitality. NAD+ therapy has been shown to improve cognitive function, boost energy levels, and support anti-aging efforts. At Mojo Vitality, it can be offered as an injection. We often recommend combining NAD+ with NMN oral capsules, in which case you’re not just getting a temporary boost, you’re helping your body restore and maintain the systems that drive energy, resilience, and healthy aging. In short, the earlier you support your cells, the better they perform over time.
Methylene Blue
Helps blood carry oxygen
Fights infections (germs, UTIs)
Used in light therapy for cancer/skin issues
Boosts cell energy
Improves memory and focus
Protects brain and nerves
Fights aging (antioxidant)
May lift mood
Things to Watch! Don't mix with antidepressants Too much can be harmful Turns pee/skin blue (harmless)
Also not categorized as a "peptide," methylene blue works by supporting the mitochondria—the "powerhouses" of your cells—helping them produce energy more efficiently. It acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage, and improves oxygen delivery in the blood.
At low doses, it may boost brain function, memory, and focus by enhancing cellular metabolism. It also shows promise in protecting the brain from aging and injury. Clinically, it's used to treat methemoglobinemia and urinary tract infections. Early research suggests it may help with mood, fight infections, and support overall cellular health. However, proper dosing is crucial, and it should not be mixed with certain medications.
Methylene blue can be delivered orally, intravenously, or topically, depending on the purpose. Low-dose oral use is common in wellness and nootropic settings. Side effects may include nausea, headache, dizziness, and blue discoloration of urine or skin. High doses or drug interactions can be dangerous, especially with antidepressants (risk of serotonin syndrome).
