Complete step-by-step guide for peptide beginners

Peptide Guide :

1 - You are on this site because you have heard of and want to become more familiar with Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide (GHRP) and/or Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH). These 2 materials administered can give you an increased quality of life in ways of anti-aging, muscular hypertrophy, fat loss, injury repair, higher bone density, and better sleep.

2 - GHRP can be used on its own to increase our natural Growth Hormone (GH) pulse release from the Pituitary Gland in the brain. GHRP dosed in conjunction with GHRH will amplify our growth hormone release significantly to gain maximal benefit.

3 - There are various types of GHRH's. The only GHRH to consider is tetra-substituted CJC-1295 / CJC-1295(without DAC) / modGRF(1-29). They are all the same thing but with a different name. They come in vials ranging in material weights measured in milligrams (mg) consisting of a solid freeze-dried (lyophilized) substance.

4 - There are various types of GHRP's. GHRP-6, GHRP-2, Hexarelin, and Imaporelin. The differences between them are potency and side effects. GHRP-6 is very potent and makes you quite hungry. GHRP-2 is potent and can slightly affect your sleep somewhat. Hexarelin is very potent but you can desensitize from higher dosages. Imaporelin is potent with the minimalist side effects of all 4 GHRP's.

5 - Peptides are dosed via a regular 1mL needle syringe typical to what a diabetic would use. It is administered Subcutaneously (SubQ) (just under the skin into the fat tissue), most usually around the abdomen region.

6 - The required amount (saturation dose) is 1mcg (microgram) per Kg (Kilogram) of bodyweight. The typical usage and for ease of measuring is 100mcg of modGRF(1-29) and/or 100mcg of your choice of GHRP. Lower dosages will simply result in less GH release due to a slightly weaker GH pulse and reduce any side effects you may have. A higher dose will have minimal benefit and is more a waste of money than anything else. But, in saying that, the more frequently dosed in any given day would result in more frequent pulses.

7 - Mixing (reconstitution) the lyophilized product in their vials with Bacteriostatic Water (BW) can take some getting used to. The idea is not to add too much dilution. Typical rule of thumb is to add 0.5mL of BW to 1mg of Peptide. So a 2mg vial should reconstitute with 1mL BW. 5mg with 2.5mL, 10mg with 5mL, etc. Squirt the BW along the inside wall of the vial in a smooth controlled manner being cautious not to agitate the mixture too much. It will dissolve itself and become clear. You can roll the vial gently between your fingers or hands but don't shake it to dissolve. The reconstitute is ok to be drawn once fully dissolved.

8 - On a 1mL needle, there are either 50 tick marks from 0-100, skipping every odd number OR 100 international units (IU). A 100mcg dose is half way between the 2nd and 3rd tick mark, OR 5 IU's (if you followed the above reconstitution). There are no half tick marks. It is OK to draw modGRF and GHRP into the one needle for a single shot. It is NOT OK to mix peptides in the same vial or syringe for storage.

9 - Reconstituted peptide should be stored in the refrigerator to prevent degradation. Left at room temperature, peptide will degrade within days but kept in the fridge will last months. You can pre-load syringes and store in freezer if you want but it is more of a hassle than being worth the effort.

10 - Doses can be taken throughout the day but at no less than 3 hour intervals between doses. 1 dose a day is typical for light injury repair, anti-aging effects, deeper sleep, and better quality of life. The most beneficial would be to dose immediately prior to going to bed for your daily sleep period. Sleep is the time when our pituitary is most active. 2 or 3 doses per day will give the added benefit of lean tissue build, and fat loss, considering your diet consists of good quality foods.

11 - Doses should be taken on empty stomach to benefit the most. This is usually 3 hours or more.

12 - Do not consume food for between 15-30 minutes after your dosage. Best time is around 20-25 minute mark. GH pulses should peak within about 10 minutes after dosage. Fats and Carbohydrates affect the pulse dramatically. Protein has no effect on pulse and you can have a pure protein source in your stomach at anytime if you so choose to.

13 - Dosage timing can be beneficial to your goals. For muscle growth, the 2nd most beneficial time to dose is post workout (PWO). Best time is pre-bed because sleep is when we recover and our cells repair and grow. Within 30 minutes should be fine but sooner the better. Remember to have your meal 20-25 minutes after dose.

14 - For fat loss, your supplemental dose is 1 hour pre-cardio exercise after a long fasting without food. Best time is after waking up and before breakfast. During cardio exercise, maintain a moderate intensity for between 30-60 minutes. 45 minutes is a good session. You do not want to go too hard or too long. A moderate pace will utilize Free Fatty Acids (FFA) at the highest rate for energy. Refrain from eating for approximately 2 hours after your exercise because this is the time the body is still burning fat as fuel. You must eat throughout the day to reduce the chance of muscle catabolism (breakdown).

15 - These Peptides can be used on a daily basis for the rest of your life without any harm. Enjoy!!!

GROWTH HORMONE

HGH is a hormone that is naturally present in the human body when we're young, but tends to diminish when we age. Specifically, HGH is a sequence of 191 amino acids which are the building blocks of protein. It is converted by the liver to IGF-1(insulin like growth factor). IGF-1 is the major by-product of GH which does the work of GH providing youthful benefits to organs, tissue, cells and muscle. In many people, we see a decline in GH production and IGF-1 levels beginning at the age of 25 to 30 years old.

By age 30, virtually everyone is deficient in human growth hormone, resulting in SDS, or Somatotropin (human growth hormone) deficiency syndrome therefore needing HGH therapy benefits. People with an age related deficiency of such, can become overweight, flabby, frail, and lethargic; lose interest in sex; have trouble sleeping, concentrating, and remembering things; tire easily; and in general, lose their zest for life. Decreased human growth hormone symptoms include loss of muscle and an increase of fat. Low levels of human growth hormone decreases physical mobility, and reduces energy levels. Low levels of growth hormone diminish the healing ability, low levels pose a greater risk of cardiovascular disease and lower life expectancy. In other words, these are symptoms of the disease called aging.

HGH benefits, from hgh therapy treatment, hgh hormone levels decline with age, sometimes referred to as somatopause, which is directly associated with many symptoms of aging, including wrinkling, gray hair, decreased energy and sexual function, increased body fat, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and much more, thus requiring hgh therapy treatment. Many of these symptoms have been associated with younger adults who have hormone deficiency; in a sense, the biological age of these adults has exceeded their chronological age. The good news, however, is clinical evidence demonstrates that by replacing human growth hormone, HGH benefits will dramatically reverse symptoms attributed to low levels HGH helping restore hair color, growth, regain bone tissue, increase energy, significantly reduce body fat, plus many other health benefits from human growth hormone therapy treatment.

With supplementation to increase GH levels which in turn increase IGF-1 levels, all of these so-called signs of aging can be reversed.

There are different ways to increase GH and IGF-1levels in the blood with bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.

1.GHRH – Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone

2.GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 – Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides

3.GHRH/GHRP-2/GHRP-6 Combinations

4.HGH – Human Growth Hormone

The goal of Human Growth Hormone (HGH), Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH), Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2 (GHRP-2) and Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone 6 (GHRP-6) is to elevate IGF-1 levels to a more youthful state.

We utilize GHRH, GHRP-2 and GHRP-6, GHRH/GHRP-2/GHRP-6 combinations and/or HGH. Both men and women benefit equally from supplementation of these hormones.

Since all these proteins are slowly lost with aging, one way to oppose these undesirable effects is by administering either of these or a combination of one or more of these as an anti-aging therapy.

Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH aka Semorelin)

GHRH is a bio-identical hormone that has recently been genetically engineered to stimulate the secretion of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) from the hypothalamus, a gland adjacent to the pituitary gland. GHRH is a peptide that contains the first 29 amino acids of our own GH. These 29 amino acids are the active amino acids of GHRH. It is GHRH that stimulates the pituitary glands to release GH. As we get older, the hormones produced by the anterior pituitary are depleted. It has now been shown that GHRH can restore the GH-RNA to a youthful level causing elevation of levels of IGF-1.

Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) mimics the body's naturally produced GHRH from the hypothalamus. GHRH by itself will stimulate the pituitary gland in the base of the brain to release Growth Hormone (GH).

Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide's (GHRP 2 and GHRP 6)

GHRP's are a small family of peptides acting at the pituitary and the hypothalamus to release Growth hormone (GH) through the activation of a specific, G protein-coupled receptor.

Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide's substantially stimulates the pituitary gland's increased natural production of the body's own endogenous human growth hormone (HGH). The results of the clinical studies published in the Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism in 1997 for GHRP2 and 6 - showed that a medically supervised, prescribed and administered therapy increased growth hormone levels in adults and children, who have growth hormone deficiency.

Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide has shown on it's own to robustly increase IGF-1 levels, and even greater results occurred when used with Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) to which also stimulates the pituitary gland to produce increased natural secretion of human growth hormone. This also boosts the hypothalamus function as well. The increase in the body's growth hormone via elevated IGF-1 levels produced by the pituitary gland in response to GHRP therapy -- has an anabolic effect on the tissues of the body and other benefits identified below.

GHRP is a synthetic peptide that mimics the body's naturally produced GHRP. It directly stimulates the pituitary gland to produce more GH.

GHRH/GHRP Combinations

Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) and Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides (GHRP) not only work independently, but they can be used together to maximize the body's ability to produce its own growth hormone. The synergistic relationship or GHRH and GHRP together is an extremely powerful hormone for anti-aging allowing us to preserve our health and vitality as we age. The stimulation of both the production and release of more endogenous GH will occur, aiding in increasing and releasing the body's natural GH levels resulting in an increase in IGF-1 levels.

Some say that GHRH and GHRP combinations have an advantage over injected HGH although both hormones increase IGF-1 levels to the youthful state of an early 20 year old. According to studies performed, the effects of GHRH and GHRP are regulated by a negative feedback system involving Somatostatin, a hormone produced by the hypothalamus gland, which decreases GH secretion. The interactive effects of GHRH/GHRP and Somatostatin cause episodic release of GH making it difficult, if not impossible, to overdose on HGH.

HGH

Today's HGH is a genetic engineered bio-identical hormone produced by pharmaceutical companies. It is an identical protein to the one made naturally in the human body. For this reason allergic reactions to the drug are rare and it is extremely safe for human use. In August 1996 the FDA approved HGH for the use of hormone deficient adults, which allows physicians to prescribe it, and you to reap the Anti-Aging benefits of it.

In 1990, ground breaking evidence and research on Human Growth Hormone by Daniel Rudman, M.D. shook the medical world. (Published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine) with the announcement that 12 men, aged 61 to 81 had received human growth hormone treatment and had reversed up to the equivalent of 20 years of aging in six months with human growth hormone injections.

Perhaps the largest human growth hormone study on the effects of human growth hormone on humans has taken place at the Palm Springs Life Extension Institute under the direction of Dr. Edmund Chein, director of the institute, and his associate Dr. Leon Terry, a neuroendocrinologist from the Department of Neurology at the Medical College of Wisconsin.

Dr.Chein follows a protocol that involves restoring (Hormone levels for (hgh) Human Growth Hormone patients who are deficient (IGF-1 less than 350 mg/ml) with low dose, high frequency growth hormone injections. Dr. Chein, by combining growth hormone injections with other hormones that are shown to be low, has developed an growth hormone program that he claims has been 100% effective for all of his patients. He guarantees that his patients will experience exceptional hgh benefits such as increased bone density, decreased body fat, increased lean muscle mass, higher energy levels, increased memory, and an overall better of quality of life from HGH injections.

Recently, Dr. L Cass Terry collected the data of patients who have been treated at the Life Extension Institute with (hgh) human growth hormone and has written up the amazing results that you receive from taking (hgh) human growth hormone. The following assessment figures were derived from randomly selected, self-assessment questionnaires completed by 202 patients during the term of their therapy programs. In general, improvements were reported to occur within one to three months from the day therapy begins with a tendency of the treatment to continue improving over six months.

By increasing the levels of growth hormone these bio-identicals are reported to assist in the role of anti-aging by:

•Increasing energy from fat breakdown

•Increases protein synthesis – increases lean muscle

•Increasing muscle mass through sarcomere hyperplasia (additional division of the contractile unit of a muscle)

•Decreases body fat and increases Lipolysis (fat burning)

•Strengthens immune system – reduces risk factors for age related diseases

•Strengthening of joints and connective tissue

•Increases bone density - Increases calcium retention

•Stimulates the growth of all internal organs to more a youthful state

•Improving cognitive abilities

*NOTE: Genuine GHRH, GHRP, GHRH/GHRP combinations and HGH must be prescribed by a physician. Be leery of over-the-counter supplements that claim to boost HGH, known as HGH precursors. The amino acid chains that makes up GHRH, GHRP-2 and GHRP-6, GHRH/GHRP-2/GHRP-6 combinations and HGH is very delicate and must be compounded or synthesized under extremely sterile conditions. These bio-identicals cannot survive your digestive enzymes therefore cannot be ingested.
