Peptides and Nutrients for Wellness and Longevity

Peptide therapy is the medicne of the 21st century! Riding the fence between traditional pharmaceutical medications and nutraceuticals, peptides are small amino acid sequences which provide vital information for human and mammalian cells for producing essential hormones, improving glucose utilization, addressing brain health, repairing nerves and wounds, healing the gut, supporting hair growth, enhancing skin appearance and elasticity, increasing deep sleep, and even lengthening telomeres.

These peptides recommended by the practitioners of AIM are available from FDA approved, GMP pharmacies. However, some of these peptides are still waiting for full inclusion as approved items for prescription by US physicians. Many of these peptides, while traditionally used as injectables, can be taken sublingually as a stack.
