Why it matters: This is rare, peptides usually break down in the stomach

Key peptides used in hormone optimization include: Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides (GHRPs): Stimulate natural growth hormone production Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone analogs: Enhance growth hormone release patterns Thymosin peptides: Support immune function and tissue repair BPC-157: Promotes healing and recovery Ipamorelin: Selective growth hormone stimulation without side effects Research on peptide therapeutics shows these molecules can effectively stimulate natural hormone production while maintaining physiological balance
Our clinic practices peptide cycling, typically using peptides for four to twelve weeks before taking a break
The functions of amylin are complementary to insulin and to GLP-1 : Slows gastric emptying , similarly to GLP-1, but more strongly Suppresses glucagon , helps control postprandial glycemia Induces satiety , via the area postrema in the brainstem Regulates weight balance , long-term effect In type 2 diabetes amylin secretion deteriorates in parallel with insulin secretion , as the disease progresses, the -cells lose the ability to produce both hormones at once
