The hosts explain sermorelin's core mechanism — a "gentle nudge" to the pituitary gland that prompts the body to release its own growth hormone in its natura...

That's the jumping-off point for this episode, where Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Brickie tackle a molecule that shows up on nearly every peptide company's menu, even though it isn't technically a peptide at all: NAD+. The hosts break down what NAD+ actually is (a dinucleotide, not a peptide), why it gets grouped in with peptide therapy anyway, and the two jobs...
