Aging, Skin and Hair Peptides

How Peptides Work to Combat Aging

Since peptides vary in structure and number, effects vary as well. Peptide therapy has been used to treat age-related conditions, osteoporosis, obesity, inflammatory disease and even neuropathy issues. This type of therapy provides a far less invasive alternative to medicines and procedures we have become all too familiar and complacent with.

These proteins are responsible for the way your body functions. Your weight loss, your sexual competence, and even your digestion processes are partially controlled by these proteins. Peptide therapy helps the body mimic the functions of naturally occurring peptides to emulate certain abilities on targeted areas.

GHK-CU

Tighten loose skin and reverse thinning of aged skin.
Repair protective skin barrier proteins.
Improve skin firmness, elasticity, and clarity.
Reduce fine lines, depth of wrinkles, and improve the structure of aged skin.
Smooth rough skin.
Reduce photo damage, mottled hyperpigmentation, skin spots, and lesions.
Improve overall skin appearance.
Stimulate wound healing.
Protect skin cells from UV radiation.
Reduce inflammation and free radical damage.

Beginning Peptide Therapy can initiate an immediate and significant cascade of positive health results that can directly improve cognition, muscle mass, fat percentage, restful sleep and metabolism. All of which is achieved by potentiating the body’s own innate mechanisms.

It’s no secret that peptides are used in multiple forms as the ‘fountain of youth’. Medical grade cosmetic products use them, and the scientific data is growing, especially as it relates to the copper peptides now taking the anti-wrinkle topical serums by storm! The peptides used and found in many products stimulate collagen production in the lower layers of the skin, increasing skin firmness.

Collagen is a protein in the skin, hair, and nails. Collagen peptides are broken down collagen proteins that the body can absorb more easily. Taking collagen peptides may improve skin health and slow the aging process. Additionally, many peptides are known to improve skin elasticity and hydration.

Each and every one of us wants to stay physically, emotionally and healthy at heart. Many go to great lengths to combat the effects of aging. A well known general growth hormone benefit is that of its anti aging properties – whether using “standard” growth hormone or a growth hormone secretagogue variety, you’ll benefit from their, ability to regenerate skin cells / organic tissue as a result of enhanced collagen synthesis.

In conjunction with these regenerative abilities, bone density / joint support will also improve, meaning that the you will feel more “stable” and subsequently feel and look more “youthful”.

This “glowing” external appearance is a result of collagen production. Peptides can support the process of reduced wrinkles, aged spots and cellulite, and strengthen hair, its growth and nails.

Peptides for Anti-Aging

GHK-Cu

is a naturally occurring copper complex that was first identified in human plasma, but has recently been found in multiple locations such as saliva and urine. Copper peptides are small, naturally occurring protein fragments that have high affinity for copper ions, which are critical to normal body function. GHK-Cu has a variety of roles in the human body including, promoting activation of wound healing, attracting immune cells, having anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, stimulating collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin fibroblasts, and promoting blood vessel growth.

Evidence has shown that it acts as a feedback signal that is generated after tissue injury. It seems to act as a potent protector of tissue and it is an anti-inflammatory agent that controls the oxidative damage that occurs after tissue injury. Further, it then plays a big role in signaling tissue remodeling which removes damaged/scarred tissue and generates new, healthy tissue.

These positive effects decline with age because the concentration of GHK-Cu in the body decreases with age. Thus, there is an increase in inflammation, cancerous activity, and tissue destruction. In plasma, the level of GHK-Cu is about 200 ng/ml at age 20. By the age of 60, the level drops to 80 ng/ml.

Zinc Thymulin (ZT)

Is used to regenerate hair lost as a result of androgenic alopecia. Hair loss occurs in a large percentage of the adult human population and increases in prevalence with increasing age. Hair loss may occur in males and in females but is more prevalent in males. In the western population it is estimated that 50% of the male population have noticeable hair loss by 50 years of age. The most common form of hair loss in men is termed androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Most hair loss involves inactivation of hair follicles, that is, hair follicles cease to grow hair. Literature also suggests that the thinning of the fat scalp layer due to age can contribute to hair loss through inactivation of the stem cells which regulate hair growth. A deficiency of Zinc will also lead to hair loss.

Zinc and thymulin are two natural compounds involved in hair follicle growth and have been studied and found to promote hair growth. Combined into a spray solution, ZT can be applied to the scalp and treat hair loss, bald patches and as well as initiate the angen hair growth phase (the active growth phase of hair follicles during which the root of the hair is dividing rapidly).

Testing has shown to be safe and effective, with proven clinical results published in the peer reviewed medical journal Hair Therapy and Transplantation.

Benefits of ZT

Can improve hair growth
Can improve quantity of hair
Can prevent hair loss
Can improve endogenous hair pigmentation
A variety of alopecia states can be treated
Both women and men can be treated
Treatment may be combined with known other hair restoration method

What is Melanin?

Melanin is the skin pigment produced that protects our skin from sun’s UV radiation and damage. It could be considered our body’s own natural sunscreen. Low levels of melanin mean that the skin is highly susceptible to DNA damage with excess sun exposure. This lack of melanin and its protection against UV radiation means that those individuals with fair skin have a propensity to burn and risk more DNA damage. It also means that a lot of time is invested their ability to develop a tan safely without burning.

Benefits of a Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone

The ability to achieve a darker tan with less exposure to UV radiation
Possible reduction in the risk of Melanoma (skin cancer)
A possible reduction in the incidence of sun-damaged skin
Fair skin individuals have the ability to develop a tan through the use of the MT2 peptide.
It can lead to reduction in body fat
No sunburn, No tan lines
No sunless tanning streaks or fake tan removal
It can increase libido
(During clinic trials for its use as a tanning agent, melanotan II was found to be a potent stimulator of male erections. It has also been shown to increase female sexual desire in patients with sexual arousal disorder).

Reverse the Signs of Aging

“The Collagen Peptide”

GHK-Cu has a variety of roles in the human body including, promoting activation of wound healing, attracting immune cells, having anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and more

“Although peptide therapies are not new , in fact they have been around for decades , we are now seeing them become mainstream in the field of aging medicine. Whether you are using a combination to help maintain growth hormone production, topical applications for inflammation and the signs of aging, or using them for hair regrowth or sexual health … peptides are the new frontier in personalized precision aging medicine.” ~ Adam Ripley, PharmD, RPh., Practice Consultant
