5 Anti-Inflammatory Metabolism Protocol:

NAD+ intramuscular (IM) injections offer a highly bioavailable and convenient way to boost the vital coenzyme, bypassing the digestive system to ensure maximum absorption. By increasing NAD+ levels, which naturally decline with age, the injections support enhanced energy production and reduced fatigue, as the coenzyme is crucial for cellular metabolism and ATP synthesis. Benefits also include improved cognitive function (mental clarity, memory, and focus), anti-aging effects through support of DNA repair and cellular regeneration, and reduced pain and inflammation. Additionally, IM shots can enhance athletic performance and recovery, support metabolic health and weight management, and aid in addiction recovery by reducing withdrawal symptoms. The quick administration time makes them an efficient option for those with busy schedules seeking consistent cellular support.

A Glutathione IV push delivers the “master antioxidant” directly into the bloodstream for maximum absorption and fast results, bypassing the digestive system’s limitations on oral supplements. The primary benefits include powerful detoxification of the liver and cells from heavy metals and toxins, and a boost to immune function by enhancing immune cell activity. It also offers significant aesthetic and wellness benefits, such as brighter, more even-toned skin by inhibiting melanin production, reduced inflammation, and increased energy and mental clarity. Additionally, it can accelerate muscle recovery and improve athletic performance by reducing oxidative stress caused by intense exercise.
 

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) IV push therapy offers significant benefits due to the direct bloodstream delivery, which ensures high bioavailability and rapid effects compared to oral supplements. The primary advantage is its potent, dual fat and water-soluble antioxidant activity, enabling it to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress throughout the entire body, including the brain and liver. This action helps protect cells from damage, potentially slowing the aging process and reducing systemic inflammation. ALA IV therapy is notably effective in managing conditions like diabetic and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy by significantly reducing symptoms such as pain, tingling, and numbness. Additionally, it supports energy production by enhancing glucose metabolism and improving insulin sensitivity, making it beneficial for those with diabetes or metabolic concerns. Other benefits include supporting liver detoxification, aiding in heavy metal chelation, and enhancing the function of other vital antioxidants like vitamins C, E, and glutathione.

Vitamin B intramuscular (IM) shots offer rapid and superior nutrient absorption compared to oral supplements because they bypass the digestive system entirely, delivering the vitamins directly to the bloodstream. Key benefits include a significant energy boost by aiding in red blood cell production and oxygen transport, and enhancing metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. These injections also support brain function and mental health by promoting the production of neurotransmitters that regulate mood, focus, and memory. Regular shots can lead to a healthier body by supporting the immune system and promoting the growth and repair of skin, hair, and nails. This method is especially beneficial for individuals with absorption issues (such as those with Crohn’s, celiac disease, or who have had gastric surgery) or a diagnosed B12 deficiency.

Tirzepatide and retatrutide offer significant benefits primarily in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity, by acting on hormone receptors to improve metabolic function. Tirzepatide, a dual agonist of GIP and GLP-1 receptors, is FDA-approved and leads to substantial blood sugar control and average weight loss of up to 22% of body weight in clinical trials. Beyond this, it improves cholesterol and triglyceride levels, reduces blood pressure, and lowers the risk of cardiovascular events.
 
Retatrutide, currently an investigational drug, is a more potent triple agonist targeting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. This unique mechanism helps increase calorie burning and promotes fat breakdown, in addition to suppressing appetite and enhancing insulin function. Early clinical data for retatrutide shows the potential for even greater weight loss, up to 24% of body weight, and may offer additional benefits such as a significant reduction of liver fat and preservation of lean muscle mass. Both medications represent a major advancement in managing chronic metabolic conditions, providing patients with effective, once-weekly treatment options that can rival the efficacy of bariatric surgery.

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) and TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) are synthetic peptides that work synergistically to support the body’s natural healing, tissue regeneration, and inflammatory balance.
They are often nicknamed the “Wolverine Peptides” because of their potential to accelerate repair after injury or inflammation.

⚙️ How They Work

🩸 BPC-157 originates from a protective protein in the stomach and has shown in research to:
• Support gut barrier repair and protect against inflammation.
• Enhance angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation).
• Improve healing in tendons, ligaments, and muscle tissue.

💪 TB-500 is a fragment of the naturally occurring Thymosin Beta-4 protein and helps:
• Promote cell migration and tissue remodeling.
• Reduce fibrosis and scarring.
• Speed recovery from injuries and surgery by improving blood flow and oxygenation to damaged areas.

When used together, they form a powerful healing stack — supporting both cellular regeneration and systemic anti-inflammatory effects.

💉 What Are CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin?

CJC-1295 is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) designed to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce more human growth hormone (HGH) over an extended period.
🧠 Ipamorelin, by contrast, is a growth hormone secretagogue that mimics the hunger hormone ghrelin, triggering short, pulsatile releases of HGH — without significantly raising cortisol or prolactin.

✨ When combined, these peptides work synergistically, often resulting in a 3–5× increase in HGH levels compared to Ipamorelin alone. This makes the duo popular for anti-aging, muscle building, and recovery optimization — though it remains classified as a research compound and is not FDA-approved for most therapeutic uses.

⚙️ How Do They Work?

This combination mimics the body’s natural circadian rhythm of HGH release:
⏳ CJC-1295 extends the half-life of GHRH, maintaining a steady elevation of HGH.
⚡ Ipamorelin induces brief, controlled pulses of HGH secretion.

Together, they promote:
• 🧬 Protein synthesis → building lean muscle tissue
• 🔥 Fat metabolism → boosting energy and reducing fat storage
• ⚖️ Higher basal metabolic rate (BMR) → improved overall metabolism

💉 Administration is typically through subcutaneous injections to maximize absorption and bioavailability.

🌟 Potential Benefits

Studies and clinical observation suggest several key benefits — particularly for individuals with low or declining HGH levels:

🏋️‍♂️ Muscle Growth & Strength
Promotes lean muscle gain through enhanced protein synthesis and nitrogen retention.

🔥 Fat Loss (Including Visceral Fat)
Stimulates lipolysis and inhibits fat storage, helping reduce deep abdominal fat that surrounds organs.

⏱️ Recovery & Repair
Accelerates tissue healing after workouts or injury; reduces inflammation and soreness.

😴 Improved Sleep & Energy
Enhances deep sleep, mood, and mental clarity via restored GH rhythm.

💫 Anti-Aging Support
May help with skin elasticity, bone density, immune health, and overall vitality through increased HGH signaling.

🧩 Results vary based on age, diet, exercise habits, and metabolic health.

⚠️ Side Effects & Safety Considerations

While generally well-tolerated, users should be aware of possible reactions:

💉 Common: Mild injection site redness, swelling, headaches, flushing, or temporary fatigue.
💧 Moderate: Water retention, tingling or numbness in extremities, or mild blood-sugar increase.
🚨 Rare/Serious: Long-term misuse may lead to joint stiffness, insulin resistance, or theoretical GH-related side effects.

🧪 Regular blood monitoring (e.g., IGF-1) and cyclic protocols (e.g., 8–12 weeks on / 4 weeks off) are recommended for safety.
⚕️ Individuals with diabetes or hormonal disorders should consult a clinician before use.

Testosterone injections offer benefits for both men and women with documented hormone deficiencies, though the approved uses and typical dosages differ significantly. 
 
For Men
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) in men with clinically diagnosed hypogonadism (low testosterone levels) can alleviate a range of symptoms and provides the following benefits:
  • Improved Sexual Function Increased libido, enhanced erectile function, and greater sexual satisfaction.
  • Increased Energy and Vitality Reduced fatigue and increased stamina and motivation.
  • Increased Muscle Mass and Strength Promotes the growth of lean muscle tissue and can enhance physical performance, especially when combined with exercise.
  • Increased Bone Density Helps maintain bone mineral density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

  • Improved Body Composition Can lead to a decrease in fat mass.
  • Enhanced Sense of Well-being An overall improved quality of life and sense of health. 
 
For Women
While no testosterone products are currently FDA-approved for women in the U.S., testosterone is used off-label under careful medical supervision, often in lower doses than men, primarily for postmenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). Potential benefits include: 
  • Improved Sexual Function Enhanced sexual desire, arousal, pleasure, orgasm, and satisfaction.
  • Increased Energy and Vitality Relief from unexplained fatigue and improved energy levels.
  • Improved Mood and Cognitive Function May help with mood swings, irritability, depression, and improve concentration and memory.
  • Maintenance of Bone and Muscle Mass Adequate levels contribute to bone density and muscle strength, helping to prevent osteoporosis.
  • Relief of Somatic Symptoms Potential relief from aches, pains, stiffness, and some urogenital symptoms. 
 
Important Considerations: For both men and women, testosterone therapy should be medically supervised with regular monitoring to ensure safety and efficacy and to minimize potential side effects.

🔬 Mechanism

AOD-9604 is a modified fragment (177–191) of human growth hormone (hGH).
Unlike full hGH, it does not increase IGF-1 or cause systemic anabolic effects — it primarily activates β-adrenergic–like lipolytic pathways in adipose tissue. This means it:
• Stimulates lipolysis (breakdown of stored fat), and
• Inhibits lipogenesis (formation of new fat cells).

🎯 Fat Specificity

Research shows its effects are most notable in abdominal and visceral fat depots, rather than subcutaneous fat.
• Animal studies and early human data demonstrate preferential reduction in central adiposity, especially in obese individuals.
• It tends to spare muscle mass while mobilizing stubborn fat stores around the organs and waist.

⚖️ Clinical Perspective
• Works best when combined with diet and metabolic optimization (e.g., glucose control, thyroid support, resistance training).
• Often used alongside CJC/Ipamorelin or GLP-1/Tirzepatide for synergistic metabolic benefits.
• Safe for longer cycles because it does not elevate blood sugar or cortisol levels.
