TRT
● HORMONE THERAPY
TRT replaces testosterone in men whose natural production has declined — typically men 35+ experiencing fatigue, low drive, slow recovery, or stalled training results. Bloodwork is required to confirm clinically low testosterone before treatment begins.
HOW IT WORKS
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone, driving muscle mass, energy, libido, and recovery. When levels drop, performance and quality of life suffer. TRT brings levels back into a healthy physiological range using injectable, topical, or pellet-based delivery.
USED FOR
Persistent fatigue not explained by sleep or training
Low libido or erectile dysfunction
Difficulty building or maintaining muscle
Brain fog, low motivation, or mood changes
SAFETY
Bloodwork required before starting and during treatment
Not appropriate for men trying to conceive (suppresses fertility)
Requires ongoing monitoring of hematocrit, estradiol, PSA
Should be supervised by a licensed physician
IMPORTANT
TRT is a prescription medication that requires medical evaluation. This is not a supplement. Treatment decisions should be made with a qualified provider after appropriate bloodwork.
BHRT
● HORMONE THERAPY
BHRT uses bioidentical hormones — molecules structurally identical to those your body produces — to support women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopausal symptoms. Bloodwork is required to assess your current hormone profile before treatment.
HOW IT WORKS
Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all decline as women age, often well before menopause itself. BHRT restores these hormones to healthy levels using oral, topical, or injectable delivery — addressing the root cause of symptoms rather than just managing them.
USED FOR
Hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption
Mood changes, anxiety, low libido
Brain fog and cognitive changes
Body composition changes despite consistent training
SAFETY
Comprehensive hormone panel required before starting
Not appropriate during active pregnancy or breastfeeding
Requires ongoing monitoring with periodic labs
Should be supervised by a licensed physician
IMPORTANT
BHRT is prescription therapy that requires medical evaluation. Hormone replacement is highly individualized — what works for one person may not be right for another.
Progesterone
● HORMONE THERAPY
Progesterone is a key female hormone often supplemented as part of BHRT, particularly for women in perimenopause or those experiencing sleep, mood, or anxiety symptoms tied to hormonal shifts.
HOW IT WORKS
Progesterone has calming effects on the nervous system through its action on GABA receptors. It supports sleep quality, balances estrogen, and helps regulate mood. Many women experience progesterone decline well before estrogen drops, making it one of the earliest hormones worth supporting.
USED FOR
Sleep difficulty, particularly waking in the middle of the night
Anxiety or mood swings tied to cycle or perimenopause
PMS symptoms that have worsened with age
Estrogen balance during HRT
SAFETY
Should be prescribed and dosed by a licensed physician
Not appropriate during active pregnancy without medical guidance
Bioidentical (micronized) progesterone is preferred over synthetic progestins
Periodic monitoring recommended for ongoing use
IMPORTANT
Progesterone supplementation should be part of a broader hormone optimization plan, not used in isolation. Bloodwork helps confirm whether supplementation is appropriate.
Semaglutide
● WEIGHT LOSS
Semaglutide is the most widely studied GLP-1 receptor agonist, used for sustainable weight loss and improved metabolic health. Brand names include Ozempic and Wegovy.
HOW IT WORKS
Semaglutide mimics GLP-1, a natural gut hormone that signals fullness, slows stomach emptying, and reduces appetite. The result: you feel full faster, stay full longer, and naturally eat less without the constant hunger that derails most diets.
USED FOR
Sustained fat loss (15% body weight loss is typical at full dose)
Improved blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity
Reduced cardiovascular risk markers
Appetite regulation for chronic over-eaters
SAFETY
Common side effects: nausea, constipation, fatigue (usually mild and temporary)
Not appropriate for those with personal/family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2
Requires medical supervision and dose titration
Resistance training and adequate protein essential to preserve muscle
IMPORTANT
Semaglutide is a prescription medication. Compounded versions sold online without prescription oversight should be avoided — quality and dosing accuracy cannot be verified.
Tirzepatide
● WEIGHT LOSS
Tirzepatide is a dual-action incretin medication (GLP-1 + GIP) that produces greater weight loss than semaglutide in head-to-head studies. Brand names include Mounjaro and Zepbound.
HOW IT WORKS
Tirzepatide activates two metabolic pathways at once — GLP-1 (satiety, blood sugar) and GIP (insulin sensitivity, fat metabolism). This dual mechanism produces stronger appetite suppression and faster body composition changes than single-receptor medications.
USED FOR
More aggressive fat loss (20%+ body weight loss possible at full dose)
Type 2 diabetes management
Significant insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome
Patients who have plateaued on semaglutide
SAFETY
GI side effects more pronounced than semaglutide for some
Same thyroid cancer contraindications as semaglutide
May affect absorption of other oral medications
Muscle preservation requires adequate protein and resistance training
IMPORTANT
The greater potency of tirzepatide cuts both ways — better results, but a higher likelihood of side effects during titration. Slow, supervised dose escalation is essential.
Retatrutide
● WEIGHT LOSS
Retatrutide is a first-in-class triple receptor agonist (GLP-1 + GIP + glucagon) currently in late-stage clinical trials. Early data suggests it may produce the largest weight loss of any incretin medication to date.
HOW IT WORKS
By activating three metabolic pathways simultaneously — appetite suppression (GLP-1), insulin sensitivity (GIP), and energy expenditure (glucagon) — retatrutide drives fat loss while supporting metabolic rate. The glucagon component is what differentiates it: it actively burns fat rather than just reducing intake.
USED FOR
Significant body fat reduction (24%+ in clinical trials)
Improved liver fat and metabolic syndrome markers
Patients seeking maximum weight loss potential
Long-term metabolic health optimization
SAFETY
Currently in clinical development, not yet FDA-approved
Side effect profile similar to other incretins (GI symptoms)
Triple-pathway activation may amplify both benefits and risks
Requires close medical supervision
IMPORTANT
Retatrutide is investigational. Compounded availability exists but should only be considered with experienced medical oversight given the limited long-term safety data.
BPC-157
● HEALING PEPTIDES
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. It’s most known for accelerating tissue healing — particularly tendons, ligaments, muscle, and the gut lining.
HOW IT WORKS
BPC-157 promotes blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) at injury sites and stimulates the cells responsible for tissue repair. It also has protective effects on the gut lining and reduces inflammation in damaged tissue.
USED FOR
Tendon and ligament injuries (rotator cuff, Achilles, patellar)
Muscle strains and post-surgical recovery
Gut inflammation, IBD, leaky gut symptoms
Joint pain related to soft tissue damage
SAFETY
Generally well-tolerated in available human and animal data
NOT appropriate for individuals with active or past cancer (growth-promoting mechanism)
Treatment courses should be time-limited (typically 4–8 weeks)
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: avoid (no safety data)
IMPORTANT
BPC-157 is not FDA-approved and remains classified as an investigational compound. Use should be supervised by a knowledgeable provider, particularly for time-limiting treatment courses.
TB-500
● HEALING PEPTIDES
TB-500 is a synthetic fragment of Thymosin Beta-4, a naturally occurring peptide involved in tissue repair and cell migration. It’s commonly used alongside BPC-157 for serious soft tissue injuries.
HOW IT WORKS
TB-500 supports the migration of repair cells to damaged tissue and helps build new blood vessels at injury sites. It works on a different pathway than BPC-157, which is why the two are often paired for synergistic recovery.
USED FOR
Acute muscle tears or tendon ruptures
Post-surgical soft tissue recovery
Hard-to-heal injuries that have plateaued
Athletes recovering from significant trauma
SAFETY
Strict use limitation: acute injury only, not for general wellness or performance enhancement
NOT appropriate for individuals with active or past cancer
Treatment course capped at 8–12 weeks maximum
Quality and purity of commercial products varies significantly
IMPORTANT
Most “TB-500” sold commercially is actually a smaller fragment of the original peptide, not the full molecule studied in research. Provider-sourced, verified compounds should be prioritized.
KPV
● HEALING PEPTIDES
KPV is a small anti-inflammatory peptide derived from alpha-MSH. Unlike BPC-157 and TB-500, it does NOT promote tissue growth — making it appropriate for longer-term use, including in patients with cancer history.
HOW IT WORKS
KPV calms inflammatory signaling at the cellular level by inhibiting NF-kB, a master regulator of inflammation. It’s especially effective in the gut, where its uptake is enhanced in inflamed tissue.
USED FOR
Inflammatory bowel conditions (IBD, colitis, Crohn’s)
Chronic gut inflammation or autoimmune symptoms
Inflammatory skin conditions (psoriasis, eczema, topical use)
Long-term anti-inflammatory support without growth-promoting risk
SAFETY
Well-tolerated in available preclinical data
No angiogenic risk — appropriate for cancer history (unlike BPC-157)
Suitable for sustained use, not just acute treatment
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: avoid (no safety data)
IMPORTANT
KPV is one of the few peptides considered appropriate for individuals who cannot use angiogenic peptides like BPC-157. This makes it particularly valuable for patients with complex medical histories.
KLOW
● HEALING PEPTIDES
KLOW is a 4-peptide blend combining GHK-Cu, KPV, BPC-157, and TB-500 in a 5:1:1:1 ratio. It’s designed for serious acute injury recovery — not for general wellness or chronic use.
HOW IT WORKS
Each peptide contributes a different repair mechanism: GHK-Cu drives collagen remodeling and reduces scar formation, KPV controls inflammation, BPC-157 promotes tissue repair, and TB-500 supports cell migration. Together, they cover every phase of injury recovery.
USED FOR
Acute tendon or muscle tears
Post-surgical soft tissue recovery
Localized traumatic injury where rapid healing matters
Complex injuries needing multi-pathway support
SAFETY
Strict 6–8 week treatment course (12 weeks absolute maximum)
NOT appropriate for cancer history due to BPC-157 and TB-500 components
Not for chronic, indefinite, or cosmetic use
Requires sterile injection technique and provider oversight
IMPORTANT
KLOW is an injury recovery tool, not a maintenance compound. After completing a course, transition to KPV alone for ongoing inflammatory support if needed.
GLOW
● HEALING PEPTIDES
GLOW is a 3-peptide blend combining BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu in a 1:1:5 ratio. It’s similar to KLOW but without the KPV anti-inflammatory component — making it best suited for acute injury without significant inflammation.
HOW IT WORKS
BPC-157 and TB-500 drive the initial repair response, while GHK-Cu (the dominant component) handles collagen remodeling and scar minimization. The result is faster healing with better tissue quality than the injured tissue’s original state.
USED FOR
Acute soft tissue injury without major inflammatory component
Post-surgical recovery
Tendon and ligament repair
Athletes recovering from acute trauma
SAFETY
Strict 6–8 week treatment course (12 weeks absolute maximum)
NOT a skin care product — the injury-focused dosing makes this inappropriate for cosmetic use
NOT appropriate for cancer history due to BPC-157 and TB-500 components
Sterile technique required
IMPORTANT
GLOW and KLOW serve different purposes. If significant inflammation is present, KLOW is the better choice. If healing without major inflammation is the goal, GLOW is appropriate.
LL-37
● HEALING PEPTIDES
LL-37 is the only known human cathelicidin — a natural antimicrobial peptide produced by your immune system. Its strongest evidence base is for chronic wound healing when applied topically.
HOW IT WORKS
LL-37 recruits immune cells to sites of infection or injury, kills bacteria directly, and supports new blood vessel formation at wound sites. It’s especially useful for stubborn wounds that haven’t healed with conventional treatment.
USED FOR
Chronic wounds (venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers)
Wound infections resistant to standard treatment
Topical anti-microbial applications
Stalled healing in difficult tissue locations
SAFETY
TOPICAL USE ONLY recommended based on current evidence
Systemic (injected) use carries risks of autoimmune flare, blood clotting issues
Not appropriate for individuals with autoimmune conditions
Requires specialist oversight, not a DIY peptide
IMPORTANT
LL-37 is meaningfully different from other peptides because of the autoimmune risk with systemic use. Stick to topical applications under medical guidance.
SS-31
● MITOCHONDRIAL & LONGEVITY
SS-31 is a mitochondria-targeting peptide with one of the strongest clinical evidence bases of any investigational peptide. It works directly inside cells to restore mitochondrial function.
HOW IT WORKS
SS-31 binds to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, stabilizing the structure that produces cellular energy. The result: better ATP output, less oxidative stress, and improved performance from your existing mitochondria — without needing to grow new ones.
USED FOR
Age-related fatigue and energy decline
Recovery support for athletes with high mitochondrial demand
Mitochondrial myopathy and Barth syndrome
Longevity-focused protocols
SAFETY
Strong safety record across long-term clinical trials (up to 168 weeks at 40mg daily)
Mild injection site reactions most common side effect
No major cancer or autoimmune concerns identified
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: avoid
IMPORTANT
SS-31 has more human safety data than nearly any other investigational peptide, but is still not FDA-approved. It represents one of the most evidence-supported options in the longevity space.
NAD+
● MITOCHONDRIAL & LONGEVITY
NAD+ is a coenzyme essential for cellular energy production. Levels decline significantly with age, and injectable NAD+ aims to restore these levels directly — though the evidence for injectable forms is weaker than for oral precursors.
HOW IT WORKS
NAD+ powers core cellular processes including DNA repair, energy production, and the function of longevity-related proteins (sirtuins). Restoring NAD+ levels is theorized to support energy, recovery, and resilience to age-related decline.
USED FOR
Age-related fatigue and energy decline
Cognitive support and mental clarity
Cellular energy support during recovery
Longevity-focused protocols
SAFETY
IV administration: rate-dependent side effects (flushing, nausea, chest pressure) — slow infusion required
SC/IM dosing extrapolated from IV data, not independently validated
Long-term safety data limited compared to oral precursors
Should be administered under medical supervision
IMPORTANT
Oral NAD+ precursors (NR, NMN) have considerably more clinical research than injectable NAD+. Injectable forms are best considered after oral options have been trialed.
MOTS-c
● MITOCHONDRIAL & LONGEVITY
MOTS-c is a peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA — the only known peptide that originates from this source. It plays a role in metabolic health, exercise capacity, and aging.
HOW IT WORKS
MOTS-c improves cellular response to glucose and supports mitochondrial efficiency. Animal studies show it acts somewhat like exercise at the cellular level — improving insulin sensitivity, metabolism, and muscle function.
USED FOR
Metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance
Age-related metabolic decline
Exercise capacity and recovery support
Longevity protocols focused on metabolic health
SAFETY
Clinical evidence in humans is still early
Generally well-tolerated in preclinical and limited human studies
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: avoid
Long-term safety in humans not yet established
IMPORTANT
MOTS-c is biologically promising but the human evidence base is less developed than SS-31 or oral NAD+ precursors. Best considered as part of a broader metabolic health strategy under medical guidance.
Semax
● COGNITIVE
Semax is a synthetic peptide developed in Russia for cognitive support and recovery from neurological events. It’s most commonly used for focus, memory, and post-injury neural recovery.
HOW IT WORKS
Semax appears to increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and modulate neurotransmitter activity. The result: improved focus, faster cognitive processing, and support for the brain’s natural recovery mechanisms.
USED FOR
Focus and mental performance
Memory and cognitive function
Recovery from concussion or neurological events
Mental fatigue and brain fog
SAFETY
Generally well-tolerated, often delivered as a nasal spray
Mild side effects: occasional headache, fatigue
Not approved by FDA in the United States
Long-term safety data limited
IMPORTANT
Semax is widely used in Russia clinically but remains investigational in the U.S. Quality and authenticity of commercial products varies — provider-sourced compounds preferred.
Selank
● COGNITIVE
Selank is a synthetic peptide designed for anxiety reduction and calm focus — sometimes described as producing “calm energy” without sedation. Like Semax, it was developed in Russia.
HOW IT WORKS
Selank modulates GABA neurotransmission and may influence serotonin pathways. Unlike conventional anxiety medications, it doesn’t typically cause drowsiness, dependence, or cognitive dulling.
USED FOR
Generalized anxiety and chronic stress
Performance anxiety
Sleep difficulty tied to racing thoughts
Focus during high-pressure situations
SAFETY
Generally well-tolerated, often delivered as a nasal spray
No significant addiction or withdrawal profile in available data
Not approved by FDA in the United States
Drug interactions with other anxiolytics not fully characterized
IMPORTANT
Selank is investigational in the U.S. Should be used under medical guidance, especially if combined with other psychiatric medications.
PT-141
● SEXUAL HEALTH
PT-141 is a peptide that acts on the brain to increase sexual desire — different from medications like sildenafil (Viagra) which work on blood flow. Used by both men and women for low libido.
HOW IT WORKS
PT-141 activates melanocortin receptors in the brain, triggering pathways involved in sexual arousal. Because it works centrally rather than vascularly, it can address desire issues that don’t respond to traditional ED medications.
USED FOR
Low libido in men and women
Hypoactive sexual desire disorder
Erectile dysfunction unresponsive to PDE5 inhibitors
Female sexual dysfunction
SAFETY
Common side effects: nausea, flushing, transient blood pressure changes
Not appropriate for uncontrolled hypertension or cardiovascular disease
FDA-approved for premenopausal women under brand name Vyleesi
Should not be combined with other sexual function medications without guidance
IMPORTANT
PT-141 works on desire, not just function. If the issue is purely vascular (poor blood flow), traditional ED medications may be more appropriate. Provider evaluation helps clarify which option fits.
Trimix
● SEXUAL HEALTH
Trimix is a compounded injection combining three medications (typically alprostadil, papaverine, and phentolamine) for treatment-resistant erectile dysfunction. It’s injected directly into the penis.
HOW IT WORKS
Trimix forces the smooth muscle in penile tissue to relax, allowing blood flow and producing an erection independently of normal arousal pathways. It works when oral ED medications fail because it bypasses the typical signaling pathway.
USED FOR
Severe ED unresponsive to oral medications (Viagra, Cialis)
ED following prostate surgery or pelvic trauma
Diabetic ED with significant vascular involvement
Cases requiring reliable on-demand function
SAFETY
Requires injection training from a medical provider
Risk of priapism (prolonged erection) requires immediate medical attention if it occurs
Compounded medication — provider quality matters significantly
Not appropriate as first-line treatment
IMPORTANT
Trimix is a serious medical intervention requiring proper training and provider oversight. It is highly effective when oral medications fail, but the injection protocol and risk profile demand careful management.
