What are peptides and why are they so important?
The best place to start is to talk about how Human Growth Hormone (HGH) works in the adult body as we age. Human growth hormone typically reaches its peak in your mid 20’s and then it can start dropping by as much as 50 percent by the time your reach your 40’s. These drops in HGH levels can decrease libido, energy levels and muscle growth.
This is where Sermorelin comes in. Sermorelin is a peptide that was first developed in the 1970’s and consists of 29 amino acids which stimulate the pituitary gland to produce more Human Growth Hormone. Sermorelin can help stimulate the pituitary gland to produce HGH at a higher rate.
Sermorelin Acetate growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) encourages the pituitary gland to release HGH. This is achieved when GHRH binds specific receptors which increase the secretion of endogenous growth hormone. This increase of body growth hormone as a result of Sermorelin Acetate growth hormone therapy produces an anabolic effect on the body tissues therefore helping the body process nutrients more efficiently into muscle and energy.
