The liver produces IGF-1 to work in concert with insulin to determine what type of fuel the body uses at a given time. IGF-1 helps transfer glucose through cell membranes for growth and repair of muscle, nerve, and heart cells. Over time, if the liver becomes too fatty, production of IGF-1 suffers, putting more dependence on insulin, which can eventually lead to diabetes. Boosting the IGF-1 peptide keeps insulin balanced as well as providing a host of other benefits.

CJC-1295 is a 30 amino acid peptide hormone that has shown incredibly promising results as a Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analog. CJC-1295 stimulates HGH secretion and can provide a steady increase of HGH with minimal effect on cortisol and prolactin levels. This means increased protein synthesis, thus promoting growth and fat loss simultaneously. Ipamorelin mimics ghrelin and binds to the ghrelin receptor (or GH secretagogue receptor, GHSR) in the brain, thereby selectively stimulating the release of GH from the pituitary gland. This results in increased plasma GH levels, which would affect many biological processes. Unlike other GH-releasing peptides, Ipamorelin only stimulates GH release in a manner very similar to that of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone. This combination results in a great aid for sleep, energy, stamina, and recovery benefits.

• Increased protein synthesis
• Promotes fat burning
• Improves sleep quality

Epithalon is the synthetic version of the polypeptide Epithalamin, which is naturally produced in humans. Epitalon decreases the age-related changes in immune and neuroendocrine systems and reduces recurrent infections and chronic diseases. Some of the benefits include regulation of hormones, rejuvenation and strengthening of the immune system, and normalization of uric acid, cholesterol, and electrolyte levels.

Epitalon’s primary role is to increase the natural production of telomerase, a natural enzyme that allows for replicating our DNA so the body can grow new cells and rejuvenate old ones. Young people produce a large amount of telomerase and longer telomeres. However, as people age, the production of telomerase declines, and consequently, cell replication and health decline. This is the main reason people age.

• Increase human lifespan
• Promote deep sleep
• Delay and prevention of age-related diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and dementia
