⚠ Compounded medications — not FDA-approved drug products. Prescription required with provider supervisionLongevity & Anti-Aging
GHK-Cu
Copper Peptide · Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide that occurs naturally in your body. Levels are highest in your 20s and drop significantly by age 60. It works by activating your skin’s repair genes — stimulating collagen production, reducing inflammation, and accelerating wound healing. Research suggests it influences the expression of a remarkable number of human genes toward younger, healthier patterns.
What to expect
Firmer skin, improved texture and collagen density
Faster wound and tissue healing
Reduced inflammation and oxidative stress
Hair follicle stimulation and scalp health
NAD+
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide · Cellular Energy Coenzyme
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell in your body and essential to producing energy. It powers over 500 enzymatic reactions, activates longevity proteins called sirtuins, and plays a critical role in DNA repair. By your 60s, your NAD+ levels have dropped by roughly half — which is linked to fatigue, brain fog, and accelerated aging. IV delivery restores levels rapidly and completely.
What to expect
Increased energy, mental clarity, and focus
Improved cellular repair and DNA maintenance
Metabolic support and healthy aging
Neuroprotective and addiction recovery support
Glutathione
GSH · The Master Antioxidant
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
Glutathione is your body’s most powerful antioxidant — made naturally in every cell from three amino acids. It neutralizes free radicals, detoxifies the liver, supports your immune system, and recycles other antioxidants like Vitamins C and E. Levels drop with age, stress, and illness. IV delivery bypasses the digestive system for near-complete absorption — far more effective than oral supplements.
What to expect
Powerful liver detoxification support
Brighter, more even skin tone over time
Stronger immune system function
Reduced oxidative stress and inflammation
Epithalon
Epitalon · Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly · Telomerase-activating tetrapeptide
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
Epithalon is a four–amino acid peptide studied for its effects on telomeres — the protective caps on the ends of your DNA that naturally shorten as cells divide and age. Research suggests it may support the activity of telomerase, the enzyme that maintains telomere length, while also helping regulate the body’s natural melatonin and circadian rhythms through its effect on the pineal gland. It has been one of the most studied compounds in longevity research literature.
What to expect
Support for healthy cellular aging pathways
Melatonin regulation and improved sleep-wake cycles
Antioxidant and immune-support properties
Often used as part of a broader longevity protocol
Recommended length of use: Typically administered in concentrated short cycles (10–20 days), often repeated once or twice per year rather than taken continuously. Your provider will determine the right cycle length and frequency for you.
FOXO-4 DRI
FOXO4-p53 Disruptor · Senolytic peptide
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
FOXO-4 DRI is an emerging peptide in the field of senolytics — the study of clearing “senescent” cells. These are aged cells that have stopped dividing but linger in tissue, releasing inflammatory signals that are thought to contribute to aging. FOXO-4 is designed to interrupt a specific protein interaction that allows these cells to persist, encouraging the body to clear them while sparing healthy cells. This is one of the newest and most experimental areas of longevity research.
What to expect
Investigated for clearance of aged (senescent) cells
Research interest in reducing chronic low-grade inflammation
Explored for tissue renewal and healthy aging
A frontier compound — highly experimental
Recommended length of use: Used only in short, pulsed cycles under close supervision — not continuously. Because this is a highly experimental compound, it is offered only after a thorough consultation to determine appropriateness.
SS-31
Elamipretide · Mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
SS-31 is a peptide that targets the innermost membrane of your mitochondria — the energy-producing structures inside every cell. It binds to a lipid called cardiolipin that is essential to mitochondrial structure and efficiency, helping stabilize energy production and reduce the oxidative stress that accumulates with age. It has been studied in clinical research for conditions involving mitochondrial and cardiovascular decline.
What to expect
Support for cellular energy production
Reduced mitochondrial oxidative stress
Research interest in cardiovascular and age-related decline
Often used within a structured longevity protocol
Recommended length of use: Typically dosed daily across a 2–4 week vial, often within a longer structured protocol. Injection-site reactions are common — your provider will guide site rotation and cycle length.
Metabolic & Body Composition
MOTS-C
Mitochondrial Peptide · Metabolic Regulator
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
MOTS-C is a peptide produced inside your mitochondria — your cells’ energy centers. It acts like a metabolic switch, improving how your body uses insulin, burns glucose, and responds to physical stress. Levels naturally decline with age and are lower in people with obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
What to expect
Improved insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation
Enhanced physical performance and endurance
Reduced age-related metabolic decline
Anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective support
Recommended length of use: Commonly dosed 2–3 times weekly across a 2–3 week cycle, sometimes paired with metabolic or GLP-1 protocols. Your provider will set your cycle and dosing.
AOD-9604
Anti-Obesity Drug 9604 · Growth hormone fragment (176–191)
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
AOD-9604 is a small fragment of the growth hormone molecule — specifically the portion responsible for stimulating fat breakdown. Unlike full growth hormone, it’s designed to encourage the body to release stored fat and support metabolism without significantly affecting blood sugar or the growth-promoting effects of GH. It was originally developed and studied as a targeted anti-obesity compound.
What to expect
Support for fat metabolism, especially stubborn areas
Targeted approach to body composition
Does not typically raise blood sugar or IGF-1
Best paired with nutrition and activity
Recommended length of use: Typically dosed daily (often 5 days on, 2 off) across a 4–6 week cycle, then reassessed. Works best alongside a structured nutrition and movement plan.
IGF-1 LR3
Long R3 Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
IGF-1 is one of the body’s primary drivers of tissue growth and repair, produced naturally in response to growth hormone. The “LR3” version is a modified, longer-acting form designed to stay active in the body longer. It supports muscle protein synthesis, cellular repair, and recovery. Because it directly influences growth pathways, it is used carefully and always with appropriate baseline lab work.
What to expect
Support for lean muscle development
Enhanced recovery and tissue repair
Body-composition support alongside training
Requires baseline labs and monitoring
Recommended length of use: Typically dosed daily or every other day in defined cycles. Must be taken with appropriate food timing to support stable blood sugar; your provider will review baseline labs before starting.
Growth Hormone Support
Tesamorelin
Egrifta SV® · GHRH Analogue · Most clinically validated GH peptide
FDA Approved (limited indication)
What it is & how it works
Tesamorelin is a synthetic version of the hormone your brain naturally uses to signal growth hormone release. It stimulates your pituitary gland to produce more of your own natural growth hormone — rather than replacing it artificially. It’s FDA-approved for visceral fat reduction and is the most clinically studied GH-releasing peptide available.
What to expect
Significant reduction in visceral (belly) fat
Improved body composition and lean muscle
Elevated IGF-1 — key marker of GH activity
Better sleep quality and recovery
Sermorelin
GHRH 1–29 · Geref® (discontinued brand) · Nightly injection
Compounded (previously FDA-approved)
What it is & how it works
Sermorelin is the first 29 amino acids of the natural growth hormone-releasing hormone your body produces. It gently stimulates your pituitary to release GH in the same natural pulsing rhythm your body uses — preserving the feedback loop rather than overriding it. It’s taken nightly because most natural GH release happens during deep sleep. Previously FDA-approved; now available through compounding pharmacies.
What to expect
Deeper, more restorative sleep within the first few weeks
Gradual improvements in body composition over 3–6 months
Increased energy and exercise recovery
Gentler GH stimulation than synthetic HGH
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
GHRH Analogue + GHRP · Synergistic combination
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
This is a two-peptide combination that works through complementary pathways. CJC-1295 keeps your pituitary primed and ready to release GH. Ipamorelin then triggers strong GH pulses — without raising cortisol or prolactin the way older GH peptides did. Together they produce significantly more GH release than either peptide alone, making this one of the most popular combinations for body composition and recovery.
What to expect
Increased growth hormone and IGF-1 levels
Improved body composition, muscle tone, and fat reduction
Better sleep, recovery, and daily energy
Fewer side effects than older GH-releasing peptides
Healing & Recovery
BPC-157
Body Protection Compound 157 · 15 amino acid healing peptide
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
BPC-157 is derived from a protein found naturally in human gastric juice. It promotes the growth of new blood vessels, reduces inflammation, and accelerates repair across multiple tissue types — tendons, ligaments, muscles, the gut lining, and nerves. It’s one of the most researched healing peptides in preclinical settings and is popular for sports recovery, chronic injuries, and gut health support.
What to expect
Faster tendon, ligament, and muscle repair
Reduced joint pain and inflammation
Gut lining repair and digestive health support
Improved recovery from injury or surgery
TB-500
Thymosin Beta-4 Fragment · Tβ4(17–23)
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
TB-500 is a fragment of Thymosin Beta-4, a protein your body produces naturally to support tissue repair and regeneration. While BPC-157 works locally at the site of injury, TB-500 works more systemically — promoting cell migration, new blood vessel formation, and healing throughout the body. The two are often combined for a more comprehensive recovery effect.
What to expect
Systemic tissue repair and regeneration support
Improved flexibility and range of motion
Faster recovery from overtraining or injury
Reduced muscle soreness and inflammation
KPV
Lys-Pro-Val · Alpha-MSH tripeptide fragment
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
KPV is a small three–amino acid fragment of alpha-MSH, one of the body’s natural anti-inflammatory signaling molecules. It’s studied for its ability to calm inflammatory pathways, particularly in the gut lining and skin. Because it’s a small, stable peptide, it can be effective when taken orally — making it especially useful for digestive and gut-focused support.
What to expect
Support for gut lining and digestive comfort
Calming of inflammatory pathways
Skin-inflammation and healing support
Can be taken orally or by injection
Recommended length of use: Commonly used daily across a 4–8 week cycle, especially for gut-focused protocols, then reassessed. Available in both vial and pen formats.
LL-37
Cathelicidin · Human antimicrobial peptide
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
LL-37 is a naturally occurring peptide and a key part of the body’s innate immune defense. It has broad antimicrobial properties and also plays a role in coordinating immune responses and supporting wound healing. In research settings it’s explored for immune resilience, difficult or recurrent infections, and skin and tissue repair. Because it can influence inflammatory pathways, it’s used thoughtfully and with provider guidance.
What to expect
Support for innate immune defense
Research interest in recurrent infections
Wound-healing and skin support
Used with care in inflammatory conditions
Recommended length of use: Typically used in shorter 3–6 week cycles. Mild flu-like effects can occur early as the immune system responds; your provider will tailor dosing and duration.
Brain, Mood & Cognitive
Selank
Tuftsin analogue · Anxiolytic & nootropic peptide
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
Selank is a synthetic peptide modeled on a naturally occurring immune-modulating molecule called tuftsin. It’s studied for its calming and cognitive-supporting effects, thought to work by influencing the brain’s GABA and serotonin systems and supporting BDNF, a key protein for brain health. Notably, it’s non-sedating — offering a sense of calm without drowsiness — and originated as a clinical anxiolytic in Russian medicine.
What to expect
Reduced anxiety and improved stress resilience
Calm without sedation — suitable for daytime
Support for mental clarity and focus
May support mood and sleep quality
Recommended length of use: Often used daily across a 4–6 week cycle, by injection or intranasal spray. Use caution alongside other calming medications; your provider will guide timing and duration.
Semax
ACTH(4–7) analogue · Nootropic & neuroprotective peptide
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
Semax is a peptide derived from a fragment of ACTH, a hormone involved in focus and stress response. It’s studied for cognitive support — memory, focus, and mental stamina — and for neuroprotection. It’s thought to work by increasing BDNF (a brain growth factor) and supporting dopamine and other neurotransmitter systems. In Russian medicine it has been used clinically in cognitive and stroke-recovery settings.
What to expect
Improved focus, memory, and mental clarity
Support for mental stamina and processing
Neuroprotective research interest
A clean, non-stimulant style of focus
Recommended length of use: Often used daily (mornings preferred) across a 3–6 week cycle, by injection or intranasal spray. Pairs commonly with Selank for a focus-plus-calm approach.
DSIP
Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
DSIP is a naturally occurring peptide that helps regulate sleep and the body’s stress response. It’s studied for its role in supporting deeper, more restful sleep and helping normalize circadian rhythm — the body’s internal clock. It’s also researched for its effects on the stress-hormone (HPA) axis, making it of interest to people whose sleep is disrupted by an over-active stress response.
What to expect
Support for deeper, higher-quality sleep
Circadian rhythm normalization
Calming of the stress response
Support for recovery and resilience
Recommended length of use: Typically dosed in the evening several times weekly across a 4–6 week cycle. Best taken shortly before bed; your provider will guide timing and duration.
Hormonal & Sexual Health
PT-141
Bremelanotide · Vyleesi® (FDA-approved for women)
FDA Approved (women) · Off-label (men)
What it is & how it works
PT-141 works differently from medications like Viagra or Cialis — it doesn’t target blood flow. Instead it activates specific receptors in the brain that are directly involved in sexual desire and arousal. This makes it effective for both men and women, and for cases where low libido is the primary issue rather than physical function. FDA-approved as Vyleesi® for women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD); used off-label for men.
What to expect
Enhanced sexual desire and arousal in both men and women
Works on brain chemistry — effective regardless of blood flow
Can help when hormonal or psychological factors are involved
Used as-needed — not a daily medication
Kisspeptin
Kisspeptin-10 · Master regulator of the hormonal axis
Research / Compounded
What it is & how it works
Kisspeptin is often called the “master switch” of the body’s reproductive hormone system. It signals the brain to begin the cascade that leads to natural production of LH, FSH, and ultimately testosterone or estrogen. It’s studied for supporting healthy hormonal signaling, libido, and fertility in both men and women — and for helping restart the natural hormonal axis when it has been suppressed.
What to expect
Support for natural hormonal signaling
Libido and sexual-health support
Fertility research interest in men and women
Support for restoring a suppressed hormonal axis
Recommended length of use: Usually dosed in a pulsed pattern (2–3 times weekly) rather than daily, to work with the body’s natural rhythm. Your provider will design the right schedule for your goals.
