The Tier 1 supplements are: Whey protein isolate (to support protein intake at therapeutic levels) Complete multivitamin (broad-spectrum coverage of the vitamins and minerals most commonly depleted) Vitamin D3 plus K2 (near-universal deficiency in this patient group) Vitamin C (wound healing and collagen synthesis) Zinc (wound healing and immune function) These five supplements go into the Tier 1 group because the evidence base supports near-universal deficiency or increased requirement in post-weight-loss patients
In contrast, Ipamorelin does not appear to operate via GHRH receptors but rather functions as a growth hormone secretagogue (GHS), akin to Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides (GHRPs)
Additionally, glutathione may affect the metabolism of acetaminophen (Tylenol)
Utilized on its own, CJC 1295 stimulates increased production of more growth hormone in a natural, slow-release format
The S1P receptor modulator FTY720 mitigates hepatic injury, triglyceride accumulation, and fibrogenesis in murine MAFLD models by suppressing MMP2 and MMP9 expression and activity (181183)
Experimental studies involving GHRP-6 include: Ghrelin receptor binding Increased feeding behaviour in the model Growth hormone secretion Neuroendocrine signalling Gastrointestinal hormones Because of these properties, GHRP-6 is preferred for studies involving appetite-pathway signalling alongside growth hormone secretion
