Description Hair loss occurs in a large proportion of the adult population and increases with age. Both men and women can experience hair loss, but it is more common in men. In the West, an estimated 50% of men will experience noticeable hair loss before the age of 50. The most common form of hair loss in men is androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Most hair loss is due to follicular inactivation, which means that the follicles stop growing hair. Literature also suggests that with aging, the fat layer of the scalp thins, leading to the inactivation of stem cells that regulate hair growth, which can lead to hair loss. Zinc deficiency can also lead to hair loss. Thymosin is a nonapeptide from the thymus gland. Zinc and thymosin are two natural compounds involved in hair follicle growth that have been found to promote hair growth. Early reports of thymus extracts stimulating hair growth were published in 1986 and 2000. Conclusive studies on the activity of thymosin on hair follicles were recently published by Meier et al., where in vitro studies investigated several thymosin peptides and showed that thymosin can prolong the anagen phase. However, both the biological activity of the thymus gland and se ...
Read MoreWhat is Thymosin Alpha 1? Thymosin Alpha 1, also known as TA1, is a 28 amino acid peptide. It is naturally produced and isolated from the human thymus, a small gland that makes and trains immune cells (T-cells). The T-cells help your immune system fight disease and infection. Thymosin Alpha 1 was first isolated from the calf thymus in 1977. Since then, two additional methods have been developed to extract this peptide from its source. These include solid-state synthesis (the popular method) and genetic engineering processes. Like the source (thymus) from which it is isolated, TA1 possesses the ability to enhance, restore and modify your immune response. It has also shown promise in various clinical applications, including viral, fungal, and bacterial infectious diseases and cancer. Recent research has indicated that TA1 might be used for the treatment of severe sepsis. The peptide has also been reported to prevent invasive infections in bone-marrow transplanted patients. In clinical studies, it has displayed promise as a vaccine adjuvant. How does Thymosin Alpha 1 Work? Thymosin Alpha 1 has a dual mechanism of action: Immune Modulating Effect Thymosin Alpha ...
Read MoreWhat is Tesamorelin? Tesamorelin is a stabilized synthetic analogue of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH),not specifically from the hypothalamus, used for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in HIV-patients with lipodystrophy. Lipodystrophy is a metabolic condition often associated with insulin resistance, fat redistribution, and hyperlipidemia associated with antiretroviral therapy for the treatment of HIV infection. Mechanism of Action Tesamorelin works by mimicking the natural Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone, stimulating the pituitary gland to release more growth hormone. This increase in growth hormone leads to various metabolic effects, majorly the reduction of excess abdominal fat, and helps improve body composition. By binding to GHRH, Tesamorelin causes a series of physiological reactions that result in a reduction of visceral fat in the abdominal area. Potential Benefits of Tesamorelin The following are the benefits of Tesamorelin: Fat loss and improvement in body composition: One of the well-known benefits of tesamorelin is the visceral fat reduction. Research shows that tesamorelin may help in the reduction of excess abdominal fat and also help improve the body composit ...

Read MoreWhat is Survodutide? Survodutide 10MG is a research compound studied for potential benefits in obesity and glucose management. Similar to Mazdutide and Retatrutide, Survodutide shows high efficacy. Researchers hypothesize that, when combined with proper diet and exercise, it might significantly enhance obesity reduction. Additionally, studies explore its effects on metabolic regulation and cardiovascular health. How Does Survodutide Work? Survodutide stands out in obesity research due to its multifaceted mechanisms of action: Multi-Receptor Agonist: Survodutide targets multiple receptors involved in regulating metabolism. This action slows gastric emptying, reduces postprandial glucose levels, and promotes satiety. Consequently, it leads to decreased food intake and improved energy balance. Enhancing Satiety: By acting on the brain’s satiety centers, Survodutide helps reduce appetite and prolong feelings of fullness. This reduction in caloric intake supports efforts in obesity reduction. Glucose Optimization: Survodutide aids in better glucose regulation by slowing gastric emptying and modulating insulin and glucagon release.

Read MoreSS-31 Research SS-31 (also called elamipretide) is a peptide that specifically targets mitochondria. Clinical evidence indicates that SS-31 demonstrates promise in addressing numerous medical conditions stemming from mitochondrial dysfunction. SS-31 Mechanisms of Action SS-31 operates within cells by selectively aggregating inside the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it binds to cardiolipin, a critical component of mitochondrial structure and function. By binding to cardiolipin, SS-31 helps maintain the shape of the mitochondria’s inner folds, known as cristae, which facilitates their energy-producing capabilities. SS-31 also functions as a potent antioxidant, neutralizing damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS). This action helps to prevent oxidative stress and maintain mitochondrial function. Further, SS-31 promotes the flow of electrons through the mitochondrial respiratory chain, which boosts ATP production – the cell’s energy currency. Lastly, SS-31 has been shown to prevent cell death by inhibiting the activation of pro-apoptotic proteins and preserving mitochondrial integrity. SS-31 and Mitochondrial Dysfunction Mitochondria are known as “powerhouses” within cells and play ...
