Peptide Spotlight: Growth Hormone MOD GRF

Our pituitary gland makes a hormone called growth hormone (GH).  GH helps improve bone density, stop muscle wasting, decrease visceral fat, and increase metabolism. It may also improve deep sleep, increase energy, offset the effects of steroids, improve skin elasticity, and improve heart health. 

As we age, our pituitary gland still produces GH, but the rest of our body forgets to ask for it. 

If we take exogenous growth hormones, then we shut down our own production. Growth Hormone peptides operate within the proper feedback loops of the body. This means that they DO NOT shut down the natural signaling pathways and have no negative long-term effects.  

Here’s a graph of how growth hormone decreases as we age.

Primary Benefits:  Great for fat loss, muscle gain, increased strength, improved skin tone, better sleep, more energy, stronger bones, and connective tissues. Restores vitality for people who aren’t getting ideal levels of growth hormone.

Benefits:

• Increased muscle mass

• Improved sleep

• Enhanced cognition, focus and memory

• Improved wound healing and injury repair

• Increase bone density

• Increased sex drive

• Strengthened immune system

• Optimized cardiovascular system

• Improved skin tone

Doses: 20-40 per vial

Dosage:  5 days on, 2 days off per week, for 3 months, usually right before bed on an empty stomach.  Best for people over age 40.  It has a half-life of several hours.

Side Effects: May experience tiredness, water retention, tingling in hands and feet, temporary irritation (redness and/or lumps) at the injection site. May have flushing in the face for a few minutes after each injection.  

Description:  MOD GRF 1-29 (Also known as CJC-1295 no DAC) is a synthetic derivative of growth-hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). It consists of amino acids #1-29 of GHRH. MOD GRF acts on the pituitary gland to stimulate secretion of growth hormone. It also acts systemically to promote effects similar to those of growth hormone itself. Research studies have shown MOD GRF to improve muscle repair and growth, accelerate wound healing, strengthen bones, increase fat burning, and improve metabolism. It may also have beneficial effects on blood sugar regulation and the immune system. Improves hyperplasia, hypertrophy, bone density, blood sugar, fat metabolism, protein synthesis, and heart function.
