- Physical energy (mitochondrial and hormonal):
- ATP production in cells
- Growth hormone levels
- Sleep quality and recovery
- Metabolic function
- Adrenal health
- Mental energy (cognitive and neurological):
- Neurotransmitter function (dopamine, acetylcholine)
- Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
- Neuroplasticity and learning
- Attention and focus pathways
- Stress hormone regulation
- Why this matters: Different peptides target these different systems. Some improve physical energy. Others enhance cognitive function. Best results often come from addressing both.
