Peptides are simply short chains of amino acids distinguished from proteins by their shorter length. The peptides chains sold by Biopeptides are called Cytomaxes (animal extract) Cytogens (synthetic formulations). They were discovered and developed through the research of Dr. Vladimir Khavinson and his team of researchers that continue their work through the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology.
Despite having powerful health-promoting effects, peptides are not classed as medicines but as nutritional supplements.
To maximize the effect of the peptides, we recommend taking them on an empty stomach 30 minutes before meals or two hours after. For instance you could take them in the morning upon awakening, 30 minutes before lunch and at night 2 hours after dinner.
Although this is the best way to take peptides to maximize their absorption, taking them with food does not negate their effect.
Peptides are available for several organs, some of which have broad effects on several physiological systems in the body. Choice of peptides will depend on the particular health concerns you want to address. If the aim of treatment is general optimization of physical health then peptides that affect physiological systems with broad effects such as the neuro-endocrine system, circulatory system and immune system may be the way to go. Please see the “Choosing your peptides” section of our website.
The length on treatment will depend on each person’s, level of health, any health challenges that they may be facing and on age. Someone confronting a particular health complaint, for instance, may take the peptides until they get better. If trying to maintain health, a ten day course of two capsules a day (one in the morning and one in the evening) may be enough. This can be repeated every 6 months for general health and longevity. If trying to actively support health or trying to recover from a particular ailment the peptides can be used more intensively. Intensive use may utilize 2 capsules of several (up to 5) peptide formulations taken 2 or 3 times a day (breakfast lunch and dinner). This treatment can be continued for one month or as long as necessary to achieve desired results .
No. Peptides retain their full efficacy and effect for 3 years after their date of production. Our peptides are packaged in a way that protects their ingredients and helps safeguard their freshness for a full 3 years after the date of production.
Peptides have been safely used for many years by many people without any side effects. However please check the ingredients for possible individual sensitivity to any of the ingredients listed.
There are no known interactions with other drugs or medicines. Check the product label for individual sensitivity to any of the ingredients.
Peptides where created through the pioneering work of Dr. Vladimir Khavinson and his team of researchers. They were formulated through the identification of a particular effect on different parts of our DNA that different peptide chains had. Essentially, they have an epigenetic effect on the expression of our DNA. They affecting how our DNA transcribes new proteins related to the particular part of the DNA that they affect. When DNA transcription changes all the processes in our body affected by the proteins produced are affected. In short, it acts and an epigenetic factor affecting the expression of our DNA.
Peptides have been show to increase longevity, slow down and reverse several aging processes through the optimization of the functions of several physiological systems. Please see the relevant research in the research section of our website.
The peptides sold by our website are supported by decades of research and testing. They work. Biopeptides is one of the most reliable sources of authentic peptides produced by the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology based on the discoveries of Dr. Khanvinson and his team. With Biopeptides, you are assured of quick delivery and excellent, responsive customer service.
Peptides are indicated for anybody above the ages of 35. At younger ages, peptides may also be useful for people in high stress environments or with stressful jobs such as night shift workers, military personnel, individuals that work for very long hours, athletes etc.
To maximise the absorption and efficacy of the peptides, we recommend taking a maximum of 5 formulations at a time.
Cytomaxes are effective whether taken with food or without food. Our recommendation to take them on an empty stomach is in order to maximize the efficacy and effect.
Depending on the particular disposition, level of health and sensitivity to one’s body, the effects of the peptide formulations may or may not be felt. People often report and increase in feelings of well being, improved sleep and overall sense of health. If addressing something specific, it may be useful to use an objective measure, such as blood tests, to determine the effect of the peptides.
As explained above, many people report an increased feeling of wellbeing, improved sleep and a general sense of improved health. However, it may be useful, if addressing specific health concern to compare an objective measure, such as blood tests, before and after taking the peptides.
Our peptide formulations do not have an expiry date but rather a production date. Peptides retain their full efficacy and effect for 3 years after the date of production.
Peptides have been safely used for many years by many people without any side effects. They can be used alongside other supplements or medication without any interactions. If you are under the care of a healthcare professional or are taking any medicines, consult your healthcare professional before taking the peptides or any other health supplement.
Peptides should be avoided by anyone with sensitivity to any of the ingredients listed and by pregnant or lactating women.
There is extensive research regarding the efficacy and function of Cytomax peptides sold by Biopeptides. Please see the research section of our website.
The Cytomax peptides sold by Biopeptides were developed by a team of researchers led by Dr. Vladimir Khavinson. Research and use of Cytomaxes (Natural peptide extracts), Cytogens (synthetic peptide formulations) and is ongoing at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology.
