Only available through us! Our state-of-the-art compounding pharmacy has focused their considerable knowledge on producing a product that delivers greater benefits to the patient at a price that is more affordable than HGH. This exciting, new product, SERMORELIN GHRP2/GHRP6, has proven to be much more effective and have a more profound effect on body composition.
When we’re young, our bodies produce a growth hormone releasing factor that triggers our pituitary gland to produce and release human growth hormone (hGH) in levels that are sufficient to sustain good health and vitality. However, as we age, growth hormone releasing factor declines causing a decrease in the production and secretion of pituitary hGH. This often results in a growth hormone deficiency that can erode health, diminish vigor and vitality, and lead to a host of undesirable symptoms.
A Natural, Effective, Affordable Alternative
Traditionally, adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) has been treated by substituting natural hGH with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH). Now, our breakthrough product, SERMORELIN GHRP2 offers a natural, effective, and affordable alternative to recombinant human growth hormone for those suffering the symptoms of age-related growth hormone deficiency.
Developed in 1998 by Serono Laboratories, Inc., the makers of Saizen hGH, FDA approved Sermorelin is the most natural and effective treatment for AGHD. As a releasing agent, SERMORELIN GHRP2 triggers the pituitary gland to produce your own natural growth hormone. Your body regulates the level and frequency of hGH release, so you don’t experience the side effects associated with injected rhGH.
No Off Cycles!
SERMORELIN GHRP2 requires no off-cycles. In fact, the longer you use it, the better your pituitary gland functions, more like it did when you were younger!! In addition, SERMORELIN GHRP2 can be used to re-stimulate the natural production of human growth hormone, making it a very effective off-cycle medication for those on an injected rhGH therapy program.
At our pharmacy, we’ve combined the pituitary-supporting effects of Sermorelin with the stimulating action of GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide). GHRP-2 stimulates the pituitary gland which causes an increase in growth hormone release. 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.
As detailed below, our SERMORELIN GHRP’s will include the following benefits:
Increases Energy, Provides Mental Clarity and Improves Mood
Improves Physical and Mental Functioning
Improves Immune System, Skin Elasticity and Strengthens Hair
Huge Metabolism Increases
Improves Cholesterol levels, Lowers Blood Pressure, Protects the Heart Decreases Body Fat
Increases lean muscle mass
Restore Your Health and Vitality!
Bottom line, restoring optimal growth hormone levels can sustain and promote youthful anatomy and physiology, thereby helping to restore the health and vitality often lost with agerelated growth hormone deficiency. SERMORELIN GHRP2 not only provides the youth restoring benefits of hGH on body composition, it also helps maintain good pituitary health.
What to Expect:
If you follow the guidelines set out by our Doctor, take your meds as directed and exercise regularly with a clean diet, you can expect to see these dramatic changes from your increased HGH levels as soon as 3-6 months from beginning your therapy……
1. Benefits to the Immune System A major benefit of increasing HGH levels is that an increase of the hormone can actually give the immune system a powerful boost; resetting it to back when it was strongest in our younger years. You may be wondering how this is possible. It’s simple, really. I’ll try to explain: The Human Growth Hormone regenerates cells. White blood cells, which help fight disease, are increased and the production of red blood cells is enhanced. Also, macrophages needed to defend against bacteria are boosted. New antibodies are created and the production of interleukin 2 and T-cells is elevated.
Explanation of Benefit:
Basically this means you’ll encounter significantly fewer infections, colds, flues or other maladies that will try to slow you down. If you do get sick, which everyone does once in a while, the time it takes for you to recover is shortened. Surprisingly, these positive effects on the immune system are often the most frequently overlooked set of benefits associated with successful HGH therapy.
2. HGH Benefits Lean Muscle Growth Who doesn’t want more lean muscle and less fat? HGH benefits more than the immune system after all. It helps people enhance their physical presence by gaining weight in all the right places. Not to worry, weight gained is in muscle not fat.
Our research in action:
According to recent research, people who take this hormone decrease their body fat by an impressive average of 15%. What’s even better, the research also concluded that people increased their amount of lean muscle by an average of 8% by supplementing their daily regiments with a human growth hormone supplement.
Power Users: If your primary objective is to speed up muscle growth, stimulate new muscle development by increasing protein synthesis, or to increase your overall muscle strength, you should read our popular article on using HGH for Bodybuilding and other performance enhancing purposes.
It doesn’t hurt that your metabolism will get a boost allowing you to burn calories at a faster rate. The calories that would have once contributed to your love handles, thighs, and abs are now converted into fuel used to build lean muscle. Losing unwanted fat not only makes you look and feel better, it can make you look years younger as well.
3. HGH Benefits Your Endurance Levels Let’s face it, we live in a fast paced society that never slows down no matter how tired we get. HGH benefits our overall endurance levels by providing needed energy and vitality. Your moods get better and your outlook on life gets brighter, all stemming from the use of natural HGH supplements in increase your body’s natural hormone level.
Interesting Fact: This mood-elevating benefit is a natural byproduct of healthy body systems, found after a successful increase of existing growth hormone levels. Some users have compared this natural effect to the effects of prescription anti-depressants that synthetically create feelings of well-being and happiness in clinically depressed men and women).
Your expectations and attitudes will become invigorated as your concentration and ability to think things through skyrockets. With the right attitude and ability to keep your thoughts in check, not only will you be able to make it through an endurance packed workout, you won’t struggle to pay attention at work, in class or anywhere else in your life.
These particular benefits are our personal favorites. It’s not often that you hear about something that can naturally elevate your mood and outlook on life as well as HGH can. We’ve analyzed countless sources of data and information on various efficiency studies and clinical trials and the results almost never change. The facts are consistent between research: Skin, nails and hair all reap the benefits of elevated growth hormone levels–caused by successful HGH optimization as an adult.
Think about this: What would you say if you could make your face look a decade younger?
4. Effects on Skin You look younger because wrinkles are reduced. The skin on your face thickens. Contours are more noticeable and youthful looking, hydration and elasticity sets in. In some documented cases, burned skin is repaired and ulcerated wounds close. Fine lines fade and deep, set in wrinkles become less noticeable all due to cell rejuvenation.
5. Effects on Finger and Toenails Nails grow stronger and longer. This is possible because cellulite patches disappear. Nail beds are healthier and cuticles stronger.
6. Effects on Hair Growth Thanks to the countless benefits of HGH, your hair begins to grow in its natural shade of color and it also grows in thicker and stronger. One study attributed new hair growth in 38% of its clinical participants to HGH supplementation. Pretty impressive, right?
7. Improvements in Sex Drive As the body ages, its natural to experience a decrease in sex drive. HGH benefits sex drive in both men and women. Both sexes have reported a significant increase in enhanced orgasms. The want/desire to have sex returns and both men and women are able to perform when the desire and opportunity presents itself.
8. Sexual-Health Benefits of HGH:
Sexual Function Returns
Vaginal Dryness Disappears
Multiple Orgasms
Menstrual and Post-Menstrual Symptoms Decrease
Heightened Pleasure
Increased Male Potency
In humans who have an unnatural deficiency of their growth hormone levels, frequent problems arise relating to lack of sexual libido or sexual desires of any kind. GH-deficient males have trouble producing and maintaining erections and GH-deficient females have extra trouble getting in the mood for sexual activity. Having an orgasm is often impossible for individuals with severe deficiencies.
9. HGH Benefits Brain Function This whole section is an astonishing concept that I still have trouble believe sometimes. The fact that we can naturally increase the power of the human mind (without the negative side effects of harmful stimulants) is almost too hard to believe, even for a researcher like myself. Sometimes I have to just take a step back from everything and think about how far we’ve come with medical advancements in the past century.
How does HGH increase brain power? Without neurons, our brain and nervous systems wouldn’t be able to function properly. As we age, neurons can become damaged and slow down. Neurons are a permanent fixture and though we cannot grow new neurons, thanks to HGH, we can rejuvenate and repair the ones we have.
Explanation of Benefit:
The health of your neurons drastically affects your ability to learn, call memories to action and be as intelligent as you set out to be. Living with unhealthy neurons in the brain can cause many stressful situations where cognitive performance is less than satisfactory. By supplementing your body with additional growth hormone, you can gradually restore the health of such neurons in your brain.
Just another benefit to add to the long list: Human Growth Hormone has the ability to enhance cellular defense mechanisms. This defense mechanism prevents free radicals from doing their damage to cells and promotes a typical increase in healthiness of the human body.
Did you know HGH can also stimulate brain cells into rejuvenating themselves? That’s pretty cool, right? All of these benefits are possible since the human growth hormone is naturally produced in the body at an early age. By increasing the levels of HGH as an adult, we can virtually reset the clock on our lives and give our body systems the youthful reminder they need to keep producing natural goodies. Anyway, let’s go back to the topic of HGH stimulating brain cells and promoting rejuvenation.

MIC / Chromium / Methyl B-12 / L-Carnitine Exclusive Weight Loss Combo Injectable – Now available with HCG
What Does Lipotropic Mean?
Lipotropic compounds are substances that help stimulate the breakdown of lipid (fat) during metabolism and, in this way, reduce the accumulation of excess fat in the liver and other tissues. Injections of carefully calibrated doses of natural lipotropic nutrients can optimize your ability to shed fat.
Lipotropic Injections Improve Weight Loss
Many substances have lipotropic properties. The most effective lipotropic agents for weight loss purposes are choline, inositol and methionine. Through their involvement in lipid (fat) metabolism, lipotropic agents help maintain a healthy liver.
The liver plays a major role in human metabolism including aiding in the digestion, storage, and distribution of nutrients and the detoxification of metabolic poisons and waste products. The liver produces and stores glycogen from excess carbohydrates, and later releases it when blood sugar levels fall too low. The liver synthesizes plasma proteins that carry oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues and plasma proteins that carry waste products back to the liver for detoxification. The liver also produces bile, a compound that emulsifies fat so that it can be broken down by digestive enzymes. A lipotropic nutrient is one that promotes or encourages the export of fat from the liver. Lipotropics are necessary for the maintenance of a healthy liver as well as burning the exported fat for additional energy. Without lipotropics such as choline and inositol, fats and bile can become trapped in the liver, causing severe problems such as cirrhosis and blocking fat metabolism. Choline is essential for fat metabolism. Choline functions as a methyl donor and it is required for proper liver function. Like inositol, choline is a lipotropic. Inositol exerts lipotropic effects as well. An “unofficial” member of the B vitamins, inositol has even been shown to relieve depression and panic attacks. Methionine, an essential amino acid, is the major lipotropic compound in humans. When estrogen levels are high, the body requires more methionine. Estrogens reduce bile flow through the liver and increase bile cholesterol levels. Methionine helps deactivate estrogens.
Vitamin B12
This vitamin is important to keep the brain and nervous system functioning normally and for the formation of red blood cells. By synthesizing and regulating DNA, B12 is involved in cellular metabolism. It also plays a vital role in fatty acid synthesis and energy production. Many medications, certain medical conditions, and the normal aging process can lead to a B12 deficiency.
Choline and Inositol
These chemicals are co-enzymes that are required for the proper metabolism of fats and have the ability to remove fat from the liver. Since brain and nerve cells have a protective covering made of fatty acids, choline and inositol are necessary for normal nerve and brain function.
Choline is a key agent in bile production, and bile emulsifies fats in foods you eat so they can be digested. Without choline, fats can become trapped in the liver, where they can block normal metabolic functions. Choline also helps to emulsify cholesterol so that it mixes with the blood and does not settle on the walls of the arteries.
Choline works in combination with inositol to metabolize fats and cholesterol. The body can produce choline, with the help of vitamin B12, folic acid (vitamin B9) and the amino acid known as methionine. However, the rate your body produces choline may not be adequate to meet daily metabolic needs, particularly during weight loss when a lot of body fat must be broken down. Studies show that diets deficient in choline often result in undesirable changes to liver, kidney and brain functions. For this reason, we often recommend choline injections to our weight loss patients.
Inositol is a member of the B-Complex vitamin group and is a lipotropic agent. It metabolizes fats and cholesterol and helps transport fats in the blood system. Thus, inositol can aid in the redistribution of body fat and can help to lower cholesterol levels by moving cholesterol to the liver where it can be excreted. A lack of inositol has been shown to result in an accumulation of triglycerides (a fat compound made of 3 fatty acids) in the liver.
Methionine
This chemical is an essential amino acid that participates in fat and protein metabolism. It has lipotropic properties similar to those produced by choline. Methionine is an essential amino acid because your body cannot produce it. It must be supplied by your diet. Your body uses methionine to make proteins and many other important substances. For example, your body requires an adequate supply of methionine to synthesize two other important amino acids cysteine and taurine. Methionine is also one of the nutrients required for the body to produce choline. Therefore, a deficiency of this amino acid will adversely affect fat metabolism by limiting choline production. Methionine levels also affect the amount of sulfur-containing compounds, such as glutathione, in the liver. Glutathione and other sulfurcontaining peptides (small proteins) play a critical role in defending against toxic compounds. When higher levels of toxic compounds are present, more methionine is needed.
Lipocarn
L-Carnitine is an amino acid which is required for the transport and breakdown of body fat for the generation of metabolic energy. Studies show that oral L-Carnitine supplementation can decrease fat mass, increase muscle mass, and reduce fatigue (University of Maryland Medical Centre, 2002). Like most nutritional supplements, a high dose is needed when taken orally to produce any efficacy since so little is absorbed during digestion. When administered via injection, nutrients like L-Carnitine are absorbed almost 100%. By following the 10-1 ratio of absorption in oral versus injected L-Carntine, our Lipo-C provides the equivalent of 2000mg of Carnitine per injection.
Methylcobalamin
Methylcobalamin is a cobalamin used in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. Methylcobalamin has been advocated to protect the cognitive function of patients suffering from depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, stroke, and ALS. Supplementing with mehtylcobalamin while following a low calorie diet can increase alertness and energy, as well as supply the body with what it needs for healthy cellular growth and function. Vegetarians especially benefit from methylcobalamin since this compound tends to be prevalent in meat proteins. Also known as vitamin B12, Methylcobalamin is the most bio-available form which means it is readily absorbed and used by the body once injected. Many over the counter B12 supplements consist of Cyanocobalamin, also a cobalamin, which must first convert to methylcobalamin within the liver for the body to have any use for it.

Brain Benefits of L-Theanine
There’s been a resurgence of interest in the anxiety-relieving powers of L-theanine , an amino acid found in green tea. 1
Discoveries over the past two years have uncovered exciting additional properties of this nutrient best known for inducing calming, tranquilizing effects while simultaneously improving alertness.
In this Research Update, we examine how L-theanine acts in the brain, and review compelling new studies on its actions that include potentially reduced risk of stroke and less brain damage if an ischemic stroke were to occur.
How L-Theanine Works in the Brain to Block Anxiety and Stress
L-theanine relieves anxiety in large part because it bears a close resemblance to the brain-signaling chemical glutamate. L-theanine produces the opposite effect in the brain.While glutamate is the brain’s most important excitatory neurotransmitter, L-theanine binds to the same brain cell receptors and blocks them to glutamate’s effects. This action produces inhibitory effects. 1,2 That inhibition to brain overactivity has a calming, relaxing effect in which anxiety fades. 3
In addition to blocking excitatory stimuli at glutamate receptors in the brain, L-theanine also stimulates production of the inhibitory, relaxing neurotransmitter GABA, adding to its calming, anti-anxiety effects. 2
Unlike prescription anti-anxiety drugs, however, some of which mimic GABA’s effects, L-theanine produces its anti-anxiety effects without producing sleepiness or impairing motor behavior. 4 In fact, L-theanine has been shown in human studies to moderately improve alertness and attention while exerting its anxiety-reducing effects. 5
Of particular interest are studies showing that L-theanine supplementation prevents the abrupt rise in blood pressure that some people experience under stress. 1 The reason this is so critical is that many people have normal blood pressure readings at rest that spike up to dangerously high levels when subjected to stressful situations.
These periods of surging blood pressure inflict massive arterial damage and are the main reason why at-home and at-office blood pressure testing are so important.
New Directions for L-Theanine
Scientists are now increasingly interested in applications for L-theanine far beyond its anti-anxiety properties. Excessive glutamate stimulation of brain cells ( excitotoxicity ) is a factor in development of long-term neurodegenerative disorders, stroke, and schizophrenia. 6,7 Therefore, L-theanine’s glutamate-blocking capabilities make it promising for neuroprotection and prevention in these areas.And while its deeper mechanisms are still under investigation, there is tantalizing evidence that L-theanine influences expression of genes in brain areas responsible for fear and aggression (amygdala) and memory (hippocampus), helping to balance the behavioral responses to stress, and potentially improve conditions such as mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance dependence. 8
L-Theanine Protects Brain Cells and Promotes Cognitive Function
There’s a link between anxiety, reaction to stress, and the brain’s most fundamental function, maintaining cognition. Studies over the past two years suggest a potential role for L-theanine in supporting cognitive function and preventing its loss.
Stress has powerful negative effects on one’s ability to think clearly and make smart decisions. This is demonstrated physiologically by animal experiments showing that stress significantly reduces animals’ performance on standard tests of learning and memory, as well as by increased oxidative stress in the brain and elevated blood levels of stress-response hormones such as catecholamine and adrenaline. Treating animals with L-theanine before the stress is applied, however, results in reversal not only of cognitive impairment, but also of the elevation of stress hormones and oxidative damage. 9
Studies such as these demonstrate that L-theanine can specifically reduce the molecular impacts of acute stress, and the resulting excitotoxicity, on brain cells. 10,11 The issue with chronic glutamate-driven excitotoxicity is profound and long-lasting cognitive dysfunction, including neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s diseases, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). 12
The protective effects of L-theanine have been shown in animal models for at least the first three of these disorders, suggesting that regular L-theanine supplementation might be important in fending off these tragic conditions by opposing the destructive effects of long-term glutamate excitotoxicity. 13-16
In a rat model study for Huntington’s disease, researchers investigated the protective effects of L-theanine against 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP). Rats exposed to 3-nitropropionic acid experienced significant reductions in body weight, oxidative defenses, and locomotor activity, as well as impaired mitochondrial enzyme activity. But when exposed to L-theanine, the behavioral, biochemical, and mitochondrial enzyme activities were significantly attenuated, leading authors to conclude that “ L-theanine has neuroprotective activity against 3-nitropropionic acid induced neurotoxicity .” 17
Exposure to toxic chemicals is another known risk factor for many of the neurodegenerative disorders, with the metal aluminum being a major culprit. 18,19 Recent studies show that L-theanine is capable of preventing both the biochemical and structural damage to brain cells induced by aluminum, offering yet another means by which this nutrient can prevent or slow cognitive decline. 20
Taste the Relaxation
The molecular similarity of L-theanine with glutamic acid can be experienced simply by tasting it. L-theanine provides the umami flavor that gives green tea its richness. 31 One of the more common molecules that delivers umami taste is glutamic acid, and studies show that glutamate and L-theanine both stimulate the same receptors on our tongues, in a vivid demonstration of molecular mimicry. 32,33
In the brain, of course, the similarity is only close enough for L-theanine to bind to brain glutamate receptors but without stimulating them, which is why L-theanine produces relaxing, as opposed to stimulating, effects.
L-Theanine Reduces Stroke Impact
A stroke is the result of a sudden blockage of blood ( ischemia ) to a part of the brain, resulting in massive chemical stresses, extreme excitotoxicity, and eventual death of brain cells. 21 The latest studies show that L-theanine has properties that may both help to prevent strokes and to mitigate the damage caused when they do occur.
Lab studies show that L-theanine is capable of significantly improving nitric oxide production in endothelial (artery-lining) cells. 22 This has the potential to lower stroke risk because nitric oxide is a signaling molecule that endothelial cells use to communicate information about blood flow and pressure to muscles in the artery walls, telling them to constrict or relax appropriately in response and distributing blood flow appropriately.
In another stroke-preventing mechanism, L-theanine has recently been shown to significantly reduce the expression of adhesion molecules to the endothelial wall by inhibiting tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a), thereby reducing the risk of an artery-blocking clot or obstruction that produces a stroke. 23
L-theanine protects the body from the damage of blood reperfusing, or refilling that occurs after the abrupt loss of circulation during the stroke. 24
This ischemia-reperfusion injury results in massive release of glutamate and produces deadly excitotoxicity. 25
Animal studies show that administration of L-theanine up to 12 hours after a stroke is induced protects brain cells and reduces the size of the damaged brain areas. Even treatment as late as 24 hours after the stroke improves neurological status. 24
L-Theanine May Play a Role in Ameliorating Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia, literally a “split mind” in which sufferers experience a cut-off from reality, is one of the most tragic and misunderstood disorders known. People with schizophrenia may experience positive symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and paranoid thinking, as well as negative symptoms including loss of ability to experience pleasure, blunted emotions, and diminished speech capacity. 26
Perhaps because schizophrenia may involve excitotoxic damage to brain cells, L-theanine has recently been the focus of human studies in patients with this disease. 27
In one study of 40 patients with schizophrenia, subjects were given placebo or 400 mg L-theanine along with their regular medications for an eight-week trial. The supplemented patients demonstrated significant reductions in their anxiety and general symptoms of psychopathology. 28
A 250 mg per day dose of L-theanine significantly improved, in a different study scores on positive symptoms, as well as in sleep quality. 29 And the combination of L-theanine ( 400 mg per day) with the hormone pregnenolone ( 50 mg per day) was capable of reversing not only anxiety, but also negative symptoms. 30
Summary
L-theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, reduces anxiety by blocking excitatory stimuli at glutamate receptors in the brain while stimulating production of the inhibitory, relaxing neurotransmitter GABA. But unlike prescription anti-anxiety drugs, L-theanine relieves stress without causing drowsiness or impairing motor behavior. In fact, studies show it improves alertness and attention. Researchers are now examining L-theanine’s applications beyond its anti-anxiety effects. Studies suggest a role for L-theanine in supporting cognitive function and preventing cognitive loss by protecting brain cells and preventing strokes and reducing the damaging effects if a stroke has occurred. Lastly, L-theanine is the subject of human studies in patients with schizophrenia.
