Looking, Buff
If you’re a certain age, the names Hans and Franz will make you laugh out loud and think, “…and we want to pump (hand clap) you up!” Muscle-bound “cousins” of Arnold Schwarzenegger, played by actors Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon, Hans and Franz served as bodybuilders extraordinaire on NBC’s comedy show, Saturday Night Live. They parodied bodybuilding in a humorous way, making it relatable for the rest of us.
In real-life bodybuilding, caring for one’s physique is a source of commitment and pride. Nourishing the physical body with appropriate food and protein to build a phenomenal physique is a process requiring commitment as well as a willingness to change and learn about how the body functions and what it needs. Every day folks are beginning to realize the benefits of modalities used by athletes and bodybuilders, including the benefits of peptides.
Peptides as Part of the Process
We hear the word peptides but most of us aren’t exactly sure what they are. In essence, peptides are tiny chemicals that bond together and form chains. These chains become amino acids, which, in turn, become proteins. Our bodies literally can’t exist without proteins. They are responsible for functions like:
- Hormonal balance
- Digestion
- Correct immune function
Peptides in general are responsible for innumerable areas of well-being. These include:
- Managing inflammation
- Wound healing
- Support for autoimmune diseases
- Anti-aging
- Immunity
Of course, specific peptides are beneficial in supporting specific functions. Peptide therapy is a new form of medical treatment, and it can be an alternative to surgery and/or medications. Peptides CJC1295/Ipamorelin may support several areas, including weight loss.
What IS CJC1295/Ipamorelin?
CJC1295/Ipamorelin is a combination of two different peptides, CJC1295 and Ipamorelin. CJC1295 is a peptide that acts as a growth hormone. It works in combination with the pituitary gland. Ipamorelin is a second peptide that also works in combination with the pituitary gland. Together, they work to tell your body to secrete more growth hormone.
Growth hormones typically slow down as we age. At Apex Hormone Health, we use CJC1295//Ipamorelin to:
- Increase muscle mass
- Increase strength
- Decrease fat
- Improve sleep
- Experience fewer achy joints
Individually, we use CJC1295 to:
- Improve injury recovery times
- Improve cognitive function
While we use Ipamorelin to:
- Improve post-workout recovery times
