GHK-Cu Peptide: The Botox Alternative

By Rebecca Steiner, Certified Health Coach and Peptide Specialist

GHK-Cu is a copper complex peptide naturally found in human plasma. It has an array of health benefits and anti-aging effects. For instance, it is an essential part of collagen production. As we age, the amount of GHK-Cu we produce declines. In fact, by age 60 we make around 60% less. GHK-Cu is a common ingredient found in anti-aging skin creams, scientifically proven to provide good clinical results. However, administering GHK-Cu via injection allows for far better absorbency and more powerful results. The peptide is administered via a tiny injection in the abdomen that you do at home 1-2 times a day. The benefits of GHK-Cu injections include:

-       Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles

-       Skin regeneration

-       Increased collagen production

-       Stem cell production

-       Reversal of skin thinning

-       Restoration of skin elasticity and firmness

-       Improvement in skin clarity 

-       Softening of rough skin

-       Reduction of hyperpigmentation 

-       UV protection

-       Wound healing/ Tissue repair

-       Hair growth/re-growth/thickening

-       Antioxidant/Anti-inflammatory effects

-       Lowers anxiety and Aggression

-       Neuroprotection

-       Supports cognition 

-       Reduction of inflammation and free radical damage

-       Reduction of gut inflammation 

-       Improvement in pain and pain tolerance

Peptide Therapy for Men: The Secret to Vitality at Any Age

By Rebecca Steiner, Certified Health Coach and Medical Assistant

As we age, we begin to experience a decline in how our body looks and functions. For men this can mean a lower libido, decreased lean muscle mass, decreased strength, energy, and weight gain. Fortunately, there is a way to prevent and even reverse these undesirable symptoms of aging. Peptides have been shown to exert incredible anti-aging effects that include:

·       Improvement in erectile dysfunction 

·       Reduced body fat (especially around the midsection)

·       Increased lean muscle mass 

·       Greater strength, endurance, energy and stamina 

·       Faster recovery after exercise 

·       Quicker healing from injury

·       Improvement in the look of hair and skin 

·       Neurological protection 

·       Prevention of degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s 

·       Better memory

·       Deeper Sleep 

·       Reduced inflammation 

·       Increased bone density and prevention of osteoporosis

·       Boosting of the immune system 

·       Increased life-span 

·       Improved mood 

Peptides are amino acids that naturally occur within the body. Peptide therapy, is a safe, natural and effective way to augment these small, important proteins, to significantly improve the bodily processes that diminish with age. 

Peptides are usually administered at home via a very small, relatively painless, subcutaneous injection. Talk with us about which peptides will help you to achieve your optimal health, vitality and strength, at any age.
