Key Peptides to combat effects of Menopause

Key Peptides Used for Menopause

1. Growth Hormone–Stimulating Peptides

These are among the most popular for menopausal women because growth hormone declines with age.

• Ipamorelin
• Sermorelin

Potential benefits
• Fat loss and improved metabolism
• Preservation of lean muscle
• Better sleep
• Increased energy
• Improved skin elasticity and recovery

These are commonly stacked together (for example CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin).
