Sermorelin can provide a number of health benefits including building muscle, burning fat, improving sleep and providing faster recovery from exercise. You will see some of these benefits in a matter of days to weeks and others take a few months to get the full benefit. Typically, within the first few weeks, you should experience improved sleep, stamina and energy. By the second month, fine lines and wrinkles start to decrease and noticeable improvements in hair and nail quality are seen. Full effects such as fat loss and improved muscle mass are normally seen by month 3 and these benefits continue while taking Sermorelin. Human growth hormone (HGH) therapy with Sermorelin is a long-term strategy. The longer you stick with it, the better the results!

• Sermorelin

While Sermorelin is generally considered safe, like any medication or treatment, it can have potential side effects. Some possible side effects of Sermorelin may include: • Injection Site Reactions: Pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site can occur. • Headache: Some users may experience headaches but tend to be mild. • Nausea: Nausea is a less common side effect but has been reported in some cases. • Dizziness or lightheadedness: This can occur, especially when standing up quickly. • Hyperactivity or Restlessness: Some individuals may experience increased energy levels, leading to feelings of restlessness. • Flushing or Sweating: Changes in skin temperature or sweating can occur. • Tingling or Numbness: Some people may experience sensations like tingling or numbness.

• Sermorelin

Since Sermorelin is a peptide (think protein/amino acid structure), you are not able to swallow Sermorelin and therefore it must be injected. It is often injected once daily at bedtime with a small needle into the fat. Human growth hormone is primarily released during sleep and most beneficial to the body's recovery and repair during this time. Your doctor will provide you with a custom dose based on your age, weight and specific circumstances. It is also important to not eat anything for 2-3 hours before your injection since insulin (which is released after a meal) may counteract Sermorelin and interfere with your HGH release.

• Sermorelin

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) Injectable is a powerful longevity and mitochondrial support therapy administered via intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. NAD+ is a coenzyme present in every cell and is essential for energy metabolism, DNA repair, and healthy cellular aging. As we age, NAD+ levels decline, contributing to fatigue, inflammation, cognitive decline, and metabolic dysfunction. Injectable NAD+ provides rapid and efficient absorption into the bloodstream for systemic and neurological rejuvenation.

• NAD+ Injectable

NAD+ plays a central role in longevity and cellular repair mechanisms: Cellular Energy & Mitochondrial Function NAD+ fuels the electron transport chain, directly boosting ATP production in mitochondria—enhancing stamina, resilience, and metabolic health. DNA Repair & Sirtuin Activation Activates sirtuins (SIRT1, SIRT3) and PARPs, key enzymes involved in DNA repair, inflammation control, and regulation of aging. Whole-Body Anti-Aging Support Supports neuroprotection, insulin sensitivity, immune modulation, and resistance to oxidative stress.

• NAD+ Injectable

Common (Usually mild and transient): • Injection site soreness or redness • Warm flushing sensation • Headache or lightheadedness (especially with IV or high doses) Less Common / Monitor If Present: • Nausea or GI discomfort • Fatigue or sleep disturbances in the first few doses • Anxiety or overstimulation (rare, often dose-dependent)

• NAD+ Injectable

Common dose: 1–2 sprays per nostril, 1–2x daily (typically 25–50mg NAD+ per use) • Day 1–3: Increased alertness, reduced brain fog, better energy • Week 2+: Improved mood, motivation, and cognitive performance • 1–3 months: Enhanced mitochondrial resilience, metabolic flexibility, and cellular repair • Best used in combination with fasting, exercise, red light therapy, and sleep optimization

• NAD+ Nasal Spray

Common (Usually mild and transient): • Nasal irritation or mild burning sensation • Temporary flushing or warmth • Mild headache or lightheadedness Less Common / Monitor If Present: • Nausea (rare) • Fatigue with very high doses • Runny nose or sneezing

Bremelanotide activates melanocortin receptors (MC3R and MC4R) in the hypothalamus, so it acts through central nervous system pathways rather than the nitric oxide and vascular pathways used by PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil or tadalafil. It is given as a subcutaneous injection before sexual activity. Individual response varies. Your clinician will discuss the evidence, potential risks, alternatives and whether this treatment is appropriate. Do not combine treatments or adjust dosing without their guidance.

• PT-141

Sildenafil and Tadalafil are both an oral tablet, prescription medicines that are FDA approved to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).

• Erectile Dysfunction

Sildenafil and Tadalafil are in a group of medications called phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Sildenafil and Tadalafil treat ED by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, which leads to an erection. Sildenafil is taken one hour before sexual activity and its effects last 4-6 hours. Tadalafil can be taken up to 36 hours before sexual activity and therefore is often known as the “weekender”.

• Erectile Dysfunction

ED medications work by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing for increased blood flow when sexually stimulated. This enhanced blood flow can lead to firmer and longer-lasting erections. The onset of action varies between different ED medications. Sildenafil and Tadalafil ideally are taken 1 hour before expected sexual activity but since Tadalafil gives you the ability to obtain an erection for up to 36 hours, Tadalafil gives you extra convenience. Daily Tadalafil at a lower dose (5mg) is also an option and this gives you the ability to obtain an erection without needing to time a dose to match expected sexual activity. ED medications don’t automatically cause an erection. Sexual stimulation is still required to trigger the response. The medication simply enhances the body’s natural response to sexual arousal.

• Erectile Dysfunction

Both medications should be taken with a full glass of water and can be taken on an empty stomach or with a normal-sized meal. It’s important to note that Sildenafil and Tadalafil will not give you an erection for the entire period that they are in your system. They simply allow you to achieve a satisfactory erection when you are sexually stimulated.

• Erectile Dysfunction

Sildenafil and Tadalafil are generally safe and well-tolerated by most men. However, like any medication, they can have side effects. Common side effects of ED medications may include: Headache: This is one of the most common side effects reported with ED medications. It is usually mild and transient. Facial flushing: Some men may experience redness or warmth in the face and neck. Nasal congestion: Stuffy or runny nose can occur as a side effect. Upset stomach: Some men may experience indigestion or gastrointestinal discomfort. Dizziness: ED medications can cause a temporary drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness in some individuals. Vision changes: Some men may experience mild and temporary changes in vision, such as a blue tinge or blurred vision. Back pain or muscle aches: These side effects are less common but can occur. Priapism: This is a rare but potentially serious side effect. Priapism is a prolonged and painful erection that lasts for more than four hours. It requires immediate medical attention to prevent tissue damage to the penis. It’s important to note that not everyone will experience these side effects, and they are usually mild and temporary. If you do experience any of these side effects and find them bothersome or persistent, you should contact your healthcare provider. It’s also essential to be aware that ED medications may not be suitable for everyone, especially men with certain medical conditions or those taking specific medications. For example, men who have severe heart disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or are taking nitrates for chest pain should avoid ED medications due to potential interactions and health risks.

• Erectile Dysfunction

For Sildenafil (all strengths) or Tadalafil (10mg or 20mg), take 1 tablet as needed for sexual activity. Do not take any more than is directed by your doctor. If you are taking daily Tadalafil (5mg), take your dose around the same time each day. If you miss a dose, take that dose once you remember if it’s still within the same-day. If you completely miss your daily dose, do not double up the next day. You can just get back on your normal dosing schedule as prescribed by your doctor.

• Erectile Dysfunction

Keep this medication in the original container that you received it in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom).

Sertraline is an oral tablet, prescription medicine that is widely used to treat Premature Ejaculation (PE).

• Premature Ejaculation

Sertraline belongs to a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Traditionally prescribed as an antidepressant, Sertraline is also very effective in helping men with Premature Ejaculation (PE) when taken daily in a low dose.

• Premature Ejaculation

Taking Sertraline daily can greatly reduce PE. Researchers found that a 25mg daily dose of Sertraline lengthened the average ejaculatory interval (the time between the start of intercourse and ejaculation) from 1 minute to 7 minutes (600% increase!). You don’t have to time your dose or be bothered with topical applications, just take 1 tablet daily and PE is greatly reduced for most men.

• Premature Ejaculation

Taking 1 tablet daily helps most men reduce their PE issue. It may take a few weeks for the medication to reach its full effect, so be patient and continue following your doctor’s instructions. Sertraline needs to be taken daily. If you skip days or doses, you may not receive the full benefit for PE.

• Premature Ejaculation
• PT-141

Sertraline is often very well tolerated, especially at the low dose used for PE. However, side effects may occur. Some of the side effects are as follows: Nausea: Feeling sick or queasy, which may occur initially but often improves with continued use. Headache: Some people may experience mild to moderate headaches. Insomnia or drowsiness: Sertraline can affect sleep patterns, leading to either difficulty sleeping (insomnia) or increased drowsiness. Diarrhea or constipation: Changes in bowel movements may occur in some individuals. Dry mouth: A common side effect that can cause discomfort. Dizziness: Feeling lightheaded or dizzy. Agitation or restlessness: In some cases, Sertraline may lead to increased feelings of anxiety or restlessness. Suicidal thoughts: Although rare, some individuals may experience an increase in suicidal thoughts, especially when first starting the medication. Close monitoring is essential, especially in younger individuals.

PT-141 (bremelanotide) is a melanocortin receptor agonist that acts on the central nervous system rather than on blood flow. Bremelanotide is FDA approved for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in premenopausal women. Any other use is off label, and compounded bremelanotide is not FDA approved and is not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality. Your clinician will discuss the evidence, potential risks, alternatives and whether this treatment is appropriate. Do not combine treatments or adjust dosing without their guidance.

• PT-141

Dosing, timing and how often the medication may be used are set by your prescribing clinician and stated on your prescription label. Bremelanotide is used on demand rather than daily. Outcomes differ between people and no specific result is promised. Your clinician will discuss the evidence, potential risks, alternatives and whether this treatment is appropriate. Do not combine treatments or adjust dosing without their guidance.

• PT-141

Common Side Effects: • Nausea (transient) • Flushing or warmth • Headache • Injection site reactions Less Common / Monitor If Present: • Elevated blood pressure (temporary) • Fatigue or yawning • Dizziness • Darkening of gums or skin (rare with prolonged use)

Valacyclovir is an oral tablet, prescription medicine that is FDA approved to treat cold sores and genital herpes.

• Cold Sores

Valacyclovir is an antiviral medication that is used to treat certain viral infections, primarily caused by herpes viruses. Valacyclovir works by inhibiting the replication of herpes viruses. It does this by interfering with the viral DNA synthesis process. By inhibiting viral DNA synthesis, Valacyclovir helps to reduce the spread of the virus and control the infection. It is most commonly used to treat genital herpes and cold sores (oral herpes). It’s essential to note that while Valacyclovir can help manage herpes virus infections, it does not cure the infection completely. The virus remains in the body, and outbreaks may still occur, especially during times of weakened immunity or stress.

• Cold Sores

Valacyclovir is effective in reducing the frequency and severity of herpes outbreaks. For people with recurrent herpes infections, taking Valacyclovir regularly can help suppress the virus and decrease the number of outbreaks experienced. When taken during an active herpes outbreak, Valacyclovir can help speed up the healing process and reduce the duration of symptoms like pain, itching, and blisters. Valacyclovir can reduce the risk of transmitting herpes to sexual partners when taken as a daily suppressive therapy. However, it’s essential to use additional precautions such as condoms, as the risk of transmission is not completely eliminated. The duration of Valacyclovir treatment will vary depending on the reason for use. For acute outbreaks, treatment is usually for a few days. For suppressive therapy, it may be taken daily for an extended period under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

• Cold Sores

Valacyclovir works best if it is used within 48 hours after the first symptoms of genital herpes (pain, burning, or blisters) begin to appear. For recurrent outbreaks of genital herpes, Valacyclovir works best if it is used within 24 hours after the symptoms begin to appear. For these recurrent outbreaks, taking Valacyclovir daily instead of just during an outbreak, will greatly reduce the number of total outbreaks per year.

• Cold Sores

Valacyclovir works very well for the treatment of cold sores and genital herpes. Like most medications, Valacyclovir may cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects include Nausea and vomiting Headache Dizziness Abdominal pain Diarrhea Skin rash Fatigue or weakness Most of these side effects are generally mild and go away on their own without any specific treatment. However, if any of these side effects persist or become bothersome, it’s essential to inform your healthcare provider. In rare cases, Valacyclovir can cause more serious side effects that require immediate medical attention. If you experience any of the following severe side effects, seek medical help right away: Allergic reactions: Signs may include rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, severe dizziness, and difficulty breathing. Unusual bruising or bleeding: Valacyclovir can affect the blood’s clotting ability in some cases. Kidney problems: Symptoms may include change in the amount of urine, back/side pain, or signs of dehydration. Neurological symptoms: Rarely, some people may experience confusion, hallucinations, tremors, or seizures. It’s essential to take Valacyclovir as prescribed by your doctor and inform them about any other medications or supplements you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions. If you have a history of kidney problems or immune system issues, let your healthcare provider know, as they may need to adjust the dosage or monitor your condition more closely.

• Cold Sores

If you are taking Valacyclovir for an outbreak and you miss a dose, you may need to start your therapy over again. Consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. If taking Valacyclovir for suppressive therapy and you miss a daily dose, take your dose as soon as you remember if it is same-day. If you completely missed a daily dose, go back to your normal dosing schedule the next day. Do not double up on the next day’s dose.

These three medications address the root causes of hair loss through complementary mechanisms: DHT Blockade (Finasteride & Spironolactone) Finasteride inhibits 5-alpha reductase, blocking testosterone from converting into DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which causes follicle miniaturization. Spironolactone works as an anti-androgen, lowering androgen receptor activity and reducing scalp DHT sensitivity—especially beneficial in women with hormonal hair loss. Follicular Blood Flow (Minoxidil) Minoxidil dilates scalp blood vessels, increasing oxygen and nutrient supply to hair follicles. This boosts follicle activity, thickens hair shafts, and encourages regrowth. Custom Compounded Therapy Combining these medications in customized oral or topical blends enhances effectiveness while minimizing systemic side effects. Formulations are dermatologist-designed for men and women.

Initial shedding may occur in the first 4–6 weeks Visible improvements begin around 3–4 months Most patients see significant improvement at 6–9 months Full regrowth potential is typically seen at 12 months Daily adherence is essential—missed doses reduce efficacy Discontinuation can reverse results in 3–6 months

• Men's Hair Loss
• Women's Hair Loss

Finasteride belongs to a group of drugs called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. It works by blocking the conversion of Testosterone to DHT by up to 70% and therefore lowers DHT levels in the body and at the scalp. Lowering DHT will allow your hair to start the process of growing back.

• Men's Hair Loss
• Women's Hair Loss

Results will begin appearing after 3-4 months but significant results may not be apparent for 6-9 months after starting the medication. Full results are usually seen approximately 1 year after starting treatment with Finasteride and using the medication on a daily basis. Patients who skip treatment days, weeks, or months may find that the medication does not work as effectively and does not produce the results they were expecting.

• Men's Hair Loss
• Women's Hair Loss

Finasteride comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with or without food. Take Finasteride at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully. Take Finasteride exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

• Men's Hair Loss
• Women's Hair Loss

Finasteride is a medication primarily used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia) and enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). Like any medication, it can have potential side effects. The most common side effects of Finasteride include: Sexual side effects: This is the most well-known side effect of Finasteride. It may include decreased libido (sex drive), erectile dysfunction, and decreased ejaculate volume. In some cases, these side effects may persist even after discontinuing the medication. Breast enlargement and tenderness: Some men may experience breast enlargement and tenderness, a condition known as gynecomastia. Allergic reactions: Rarely, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to Finasteride, which may manifest as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing. It’s important to note that not everyone experiences these side effects, and most people tolerate Finasteride well. If you are prescribed Finasteride, your healthcare provider will monitor your progress and discuss any potential side effects with you. If you notice any troubling side effects while taking Finasteride, it is crucial to discuss them with your doctor as soon as possible.

• Men's Hair Loss

Tretinoin is a prescription cream that belongs to a class of medications called retinoids. Tretinoin minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by increasing the production of collagen which is a protein that provides a powerful support network for your skin. Collagen production drops by about 1% every year after you enter your 20’s and this contributes to aging skin. Tretinoin also stimulates the production of new blood vessels in the skin, which improves skin color. Additional benefits include fading age spots and softening rough patches of skin. The VIP of skin care products!

• Skincare

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3. It reduces inflammation and helps with the production of ceramides (which are like the bricks that build your skin barrier). Additionally, it improves the smoothness of your skin and reduces dark spots. It’s a true skincare multitasker!

• Skincare

Hydrocortisone is a topical, mild steroid that helps reduce inflammation, swelling, redness and itching. An added boost if needed!

• Skincare

Tretinoin has a few precautions that you should be aware of. A brief sensation of warmth or stinging may occur immediately after applying the medication. Skin redness, dryness, itching, scaling or mild burning may occur during the first 2-4 weeks of using the medication. These effects usually decrease with continued use.

• Skincare

Topical Niacinamide is generally well-tolerated but may cause mild burning, itching, or redness.

• Skincare

Hyaluronic acid is generally well-tolerated since it is already produced in the body. Rarely, a topical allergic reaction may occur.

Common side effects of Hydroquinone include redness, dryness, and irritation. Hydroquinone has the risk of producing a condition called exogenous ochronosis which is a gradual blue-black darkening of the skin. This risk is more common in darker skin types, with use of Hydroquinone strengths greater than 4% and when treatment is prolonged beyond 3 months without breaks in therapy; however, this adverse effect can also develop at any time during treatment with Hydroquinone. The occurrence of any signs of blue-black darkening of the skin should prompt immediate discontinuation of therapy with Hydroquinone. Studies of Hydroquinone in animals have demonstrated some evidence of carcinogenicity, but the carcinogenic potential of Hydroquinone in humans is unknown.

Omeprazole belongs to a group of drugs called proton-pump inhibitors, which work by reducing the amount of acid made in the stomach. It relieves symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing and persistent cough. When taken on a daily basis, acid reflux symptoms are greatly reduced without the need to time doses which is true with antacids and most over the counter treatments.

• Acid Reflux

Omeprazole takes about 1 hour to block the production of stomach acid and its maximal effect occurs around 2 hours after beginning therapy. The action of omeprazole can continue for about 3 days. Omeprazole must continue to be taken on a daily basis for the stomach acid to remain low. If Omeprazole is only taken on an “as needed” basis, you will most likely experience breakthrough acid reflux.

• Acid Reflux

Omeprazole is usually taken once per day, with or without food. Omeprazole is commonly available in capsule form. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Don’t crush or chew the capsule. Omeprazole needs to be taken constantly each day to suppress stomach acid.

Bupropion is an extended-release oral tablet, prescription medicine that is FDA approved as an aid to smoking cessation treatment.

• Smoking Cessation

Bupropion, which is an atypical antidepressant, also helps those looking to stop smoking. Although the exact mechanism of how Bupropion helps people quit smoking is not fully understood, it is believed to work through the following actions: Dopamine and Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibition: Bupropion inhibits the reuptake of two important neurotransmitters in the brain: dopamine and norepinephrine. By blocking their reabsorption, Bupropion increases the levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain, leading to improved mood and increased alertness, which may help reduce the urge to smoke. Nicotine Receptor Modulation: Nicotine, the addictive component in cigarettes, binds to specific receptors in the brain known as nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Bupropion is thought to partially stimulate these receptors in a way that is different from nicotine, which may help reduce nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Reduced Withdrawal Symptoms: Bupropion may alleviate some of the withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting smoking, such as irritability, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating. This can make it easier for individuals to cope with the challenges of quitting.

• Smoking Cessation

You begin taking Bupropion daily, 1 week before you quit smoking. This builds up the level of medicine in your body. You take Bupropion for up to 12 weeks after you stop using tobacco but you can take Bupropion for as long as 6 months to 1 year.
