About Alpha Lipoic Acid IV
Intravenous alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a both fat- and water-soluble antioxidant with clinically proven efficacy for diabetic neuropathy approved in Germany, used off-label in optimization medicine for neuropathy, metabolic syndrome, heavy metal chelation support, and anti-aging applications. IV delivery achieves plasma concentrations 10–50x higher than oral dosing, enabling therapeutic effects not attainable orally. It regenerates vitamins C, E, and glutathione.
About Sermorelin
A synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), this 29-amino acid peptide stimulates the pituitary gland to produce and secrete endogenous growth hormone through binding to GHRH receptors. It functions by mimicking the N-terminal bioactive portion of native GHRH, promoting pulsatile GH release while preserving the body's natural feedback mechanisms. Primary applications include diagnostic testing of pituitary function and therapeutic use in growth hormone deficiency.
