PEPTIDE THERAPY

WHAT ARE PEPTIDES?

Peptides are basically short strings of amino acids, which are the essential components of proteins. They come together when two or more amino acids connect through peptide bonds. The size of peptides can vary quite a bit, from just a handful of amino acids to several dozen.  One of the advantages of peptide therapy is the ability to combine peptides to enhance their effects. For example: GLP-1 agonists such as semaglutide/tirzepatide PLUS AOD-9604, is shown to help reduce appetite while enhancing fat burning for significant weight loss.

Peptides play crucial roles in various biological processes, including:

  • Many hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, are peptides.

  • Peptides can activate or inhibit enzymes.

  • Antibodies and other immune proteins are peptides.

  • Peptides regulate cell division and differentiation.

  • Some peptides have antibacterial or antiviral properties.

Some peptides you may recognize are:

  • Insulin: A hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.

  • Glucagon: A hormone that increases blood sugar levels.

  • Collagen: A protein that provides structural support to skin, bones, and tendons.

  • Keratin: A protein that makes up hair and nails.

  • Antibiotics: Some antibiotics, such as penicillin, are peptide.

AOD 9604

WHAT IS AOD 9604?

AOD 9604 is a peptide that stimulates the pituitary gland, mimicking the human growth hormone and speeding up the body’s metabolism. Human growth hormones dictate things like our metabolism and body composition. Once your metabolism is regulated, your body will start to burn fat at a quicker rate. This can also help you build muscle mass. Proper dosing has been shown to enhance vitality, strength, and general well-being with a low risk profile.

THE DETAILS

AOD 9604 for weight loss is best administered in a subcutaneous injection 5 days a week- 2 days off. For optimal fat loss results, AOD is best administered on an empty stomach whether first meal of the day or just prior to bed. There should be 30-45 minutes between meal and administration. We recommend cycling this for no more than 6 months before taking a full two weeks off. Results are variable and dependent on the person as well as their age, family history, their health history and disease risks, also if they are utilizing combination therapy and optimizing diet and exercise. Some may notice results in the first several weeks of treatment while others will note a longer duration of 3 to 6 months prior to noticeable benefits. 

Common side effects:

While AOD 9604 is generally well-tolerated, there are some potential side effects to be aware of. These include upset stomach, headaches, pain at the injection site, and swelling.
