Peptides & longevity · FAQ

How do the products in the peptides & longevity category work?

Short answer

Peptides & longevity is a category name, not one type of medicine. Sermorelin signals growth hormone release. NAD+ supports cell reactions, glutathione is an antioxidant, and B12 supports normal nerve and blood function. GHK-Cu is a copper peptide used in skin products. These roles do not prove treatment benefits. Results vary.

These products do not all work in the same way, and not all are peptides. Sermorelin is a peptide that signals the pituitary gland to release growth hormone. NAD+ is a molecule involved in energy use and other cell reactions. Glutathione is an antioxidant made by the body. B12 supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation.

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide used in skin products. Lipo-B12 contains B12 with other ingredients that can differ by formulation. Check the exact ingredient list rather than relying on the product name. NAD+ injection and NAD+ nasal spray also differ in how they are given and should not be treated as interchangeable.

A substance having a role in the body does not mean that giving more will improve health or extend life. Results vary. The category name is not a promise of longer life. A licensed physician in your state can explain the purpose, limits, and risks of the specific prescription being considered.
