Anti-Aging With SERMORELIN
Anti-Aging With SERMORELIN
No one likes getting older, but the sad truth is that aging is inevitable which is why we’re going to discuss what could be a powerful tool in your anti-aging arsenal; Sermorelin Anti-Aging. The body is a powerful machine, but like any machine, it can break down. As we age, we all want to look and feel younger and enjoy life the way we once did, without all of the excess weight, fatigue, and exhaustion. Many of us have tried to do the things experts advise like eating right, exercising, and getting plenty of rest. To no avail. As we age, our ability to live quality, productive lives is deeply affected by our physical and mental health. Maintaining the body and mind is crucial to overall feelings of well-being. The average person thinks of the damage of aging as an inevitable process of wear and tear. But one of the real culprits, could be a hormone imbalance. As you age, your body produces fewer hormones, a phenomenon that is considered one of the principal medical signs of aging.
A crucial hormone in the aging process is Human Growth Hormone, or HGH, which is responsible for the repair and regeneration of human tissue throughout our lives. By the time we reach 30, our HGH levels are only about 20 percent of their peak during childhood. After 30, they continue to decline at about 12 to 15 percent per decade, and often much more. As HGH levels continue to decline, the damage that we call aging continues to accelerate, and we begin to experience the effects commonly associated with aging. These include lower muscle mass, lower bone density, insomnia, and changes in our own personality and self-regard. Many different metabolic changes begin to occur, which can lead to greater risk for heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome to name a few. These relate closely to many of the common causes of death for people over fifty years of age.
While it might not be able to completely stop or reverse aging, one hormone has the potential to noticeably ease the signs of it. It’s called Sermorelin. Often called the new “Fountain of Youth” by many anti-aging experts, Sermorelin is a peptide comprised of the first 29 amino acids of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone, or GHRH. Sermorelin combined with Growth Hormone Receptor Peptide 2 or GHRP-2 addresses the primary cause of declining HGH by naturally stimulating the pituitary gland. This natural stimulation of the pituitary is designed to preserve and enhance the production of growth hormone mechanisms that decline as we age. While there are thousands of other supposed anti-aging products claiming to be “the fountain of youth”, few ever come close to delivering on their claims. What Sermorelin Anti-Aging Treatments deliver are results you can readily see and feel.
COMMON SERMORELIN QUESTIONS
What is Sermorelin?
Sermorelin (GHRH) is a bio-identical hormone that has recently been genetically engineered to stimulate the secretion of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) from the hypothalamus, a gland adjacent to the pituitary gland, Naturally, without the negative side effects and cost of traditional HGH replacement therapy.GHRH is a peptide that contains the first 29 amino acids of our own GH. These 29 amino acids are the active amino acids of GHRH. It is GHRH that stimulates the pituitary glands to release GH. As we get older, the hormones produced by the anterior pituitary are depleted. It has now been shown that GHRH can restore the GH-RNA to a youthful level causing elevation of levels of IGF-1.
How do I take Sermorelin?
Sermorelin is injected into the body fat, subcutaneously, using a very small needle similar to what a diabetic uses to inject insulin. Injections are initially prescribed for every day and are decreased in frequency over time. Sermorelin is presented in a multi-dosed, injectable vial. Administration and storage instructions will be provided with your prescription.
When do I take Sermorelin?
The best time to take Sermorelin is prior to bedtime. Growth Hormone is primarily released during sleep and most beneficial to the body’s recovery and repair during this time. Sermorelin has a promoting effect on sleep and can therefore make you tired if taken during the day.
How do you measure the effectiveness of Sermorelin?
Due to the pulsatile nature of both endogenous hGH and IGF-1, a single blood draw is not sufficient for accurate measurement. Thrive® physicians measure effectiveness in patients through symptomology (the study of your symptoms-see benefits); physical appearance and measurements; and blood analysis.
How will I know the Sermorelin is working?
Patients usually report improved sleep within the first few weeks of therapy. Of course, this is only noticed in patients who have trouble sleeping in the first place, however most patients at least notice an increase in sleep quality. This is usually concurrent with increased energy levels and improved mood. After 3-6 months of therapy patients start reporting noticeable or significant body changes, such as increase in muscle tone and a leaner physique. Over time patients will also notice a significant improvement in skin tone and health.
How long does it take Sermorelin to work?
Just like most peptide hormones, Sermorelin usually has a “loading” period of 3-6 months before full effects are noticed. Once injected, for a period of three to six months, its actions are dependent on a chain reaction of biological processes which result in elevated and sustained HGH and growth factors. It takes some time for levels to become optimal and initiate the benefits we are seeking to achieve.
Do I need to take Sermorelin forever to keep seeing results?
Actually, no. Sermorelin has an ongoing effect in which optimal hGH levels can be sustained long after the last injection. Just like synthetic hGH, Sermorelin initially must be injected every day. Unlike synthetic hGH, once optimal levels are sustained with Sermorelin injection frequencies can be decreased or stopped altogether. Once results are achieved, patients are then switched to a maintenance protocol eliminating the need for ongoing daily injections and reducing the total cost of therapy!Thrive Health and Wellness, LLC Sermorelin therapy restores optimal levels of Human Growth Hormone using a more effective approach. We may recommend combining an effective dosage of Sermorelin with bio-identical hormones like testosterone to increase lean muscle tissue, reduce body fat, and improve overall health and longevity.Our medical team also recommends the utilization of injectable amino acids and peptides to help improve results.
What Is GHRP-2?
Growth Hormone Receptor Peptide 2 is a substance that is mixed into the Sermorelin that gives the pituitary gland the ability to have a human growth hormone release within 15-20 minutes of administering. When the GHRH and Sermorelin are able to bind to the pituitary gland together, it causes an increased stimulation, which entails a greater amount of natural HGH to be released into the blood stream.
In addition to amplifying your GH releasing Hormone, GHRP-2 also acts to suppress other hormones that inhibit your body’s natural growth hormone secretion. GHRP-2 also supports your central nervous system by protecting neurons, as well as, increasing strength similar to the way certain steroids in the dihydrotestosterone family do.
What Is The Difference Between HGH And Sermorelin?
Sermorelin is not HGH; it is a like hormone to the GHRH. Human Growth Hormone is an illegal substance and cannot be prescribed to patients for use. When HGH is injected into the body it is genetically engineered in a lab to mimic the effects of natural HGH. The human growth hormone is a much larger molecule that reaches 190 amino acids, whereas Sermorelin is 29 amino acids. Sermorelin is much safer and has not shown any increase of cancer possibility, unlike injectable HGH.
Sermorelin does not add HGH to the body, instead it stimulates the release of the natural HGH your body has already formulated.
Can Testosterone Replacement Therapy And Sermorelin Be Done Together?
Yes! It has proven effective to increase energy and strength, and even more so when the medications are used together.
What Are The Concerns With This Medication?
There are currently no negative long-term side effects of this medication, in rare instances (less than 1%) there are some possible short-term side effects;
- Nausea/Diarrhea
- Flushing of Face
- Mild Headache
- Injection Site Reactions: this can be prevented by cleaning the injection site prior to giving the injection, and rotating injection sites.
