Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
Low‑dose naltrexone (LDN) is a low dose of naltrexone that is thought to briefly block opioid receptors to boost natural endorphins and support immune balance.
Longevity medicine focuses on extending lifespan and quality of health to help women and men live longer, healthier lives. In the United States, the average life expectancy is about 78 and a half years old. Women have a slightly longer average of 81 years, and men are slightly lower at 76 and a half years. While many individuals aspire to surpass the average age, the desire to look and feel their best as they get older matters just as much.
As longevity research advances, the focus shifts from simply living longer to aging well, with therapies that support immune function, reduce inflammation, and help maintain physical and cognitive function. Belmar Pharmacy offers longevity medications like low dose naltrexone (LDN), NAD+, metformin, and sermorelin. Each of these has been gaining attention for their potential to support healthy age management and overall wellness.
Our Longevity Medicine Offerings
Sermorelin Acetate
Sermorelin acetate is a growth hormone–releasing hormone that may stimulate the pituitary gland to naturally boost human growth hormone levels as they decline with age.
Pregnenolone
Pregnenolone is a cholesterol-derived steroid precursor produced in the adrenal glands and brain that supports vital functions like hormone synthesis, nerve protection, and memory.
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+)
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a fundamental, essential coenzyme and signaling molecule in all body cells. It is vital for basic biological processes, including metabolizing food for energy.
Methylcobalamin
Methylcobalamin is a naturally active form of vitamin B12.
Glutathione
Glutathione is an antioxidant tripeptide that may protect cells from oxidative stress and support essential detoxification processes in the body.
About Age Management
Longevity Medicine
Longevity medicine involves taking a proactive approach to aging.
Medications for age management are designed to address common concerns associated with getting older, including:
- Slower metabolism
- Loss of muscle and bone mass
- Reduced cognitive function
- Chronic inflammation
- Immune system deficiency
Longevity medications aim to prevent or manage chronic conditions and boost vitality for an enhanced quality of life at any age.
Whether managing a chronic condition or aiming to prevent age-related symptoms, compounded longevity medications are a personalized therapy for improving longevity. From customizing an LDN dosage form for individual needs to fine‑tuning sermorelin as part of a personalized plan, compounding offers flexibility and convenience to support your health goals as you age.
Therapies
When it comes to aging and longevity, everyone has their own unique experience. The longevity medications Belmar Pharmacy offers reflect that individuality, so women and men can look and feel their best based on their symptoms and personal wellness goals. Some of our longevity therapeutic options include low dose naltrexone (LDN), NAD+, glutathione, methylcobalamin, sermorelin, and metformin.
Low dose Naltrexone (LDN)
Low dose naltrexone is an immune modulator and anti-inflammatory drug that can improve chronic pain and fatigue while boosting endorphins.
NAD+
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme essential for hundreds of enzymatic reactions within the body. Critical for energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular stress response, NAD+ generation declines over time. Aging bodies require more NAD+ to combat inflammation and the wear and tear on energy systems. NAD+ is often prescribed to aid mental clarity, boost energy, and help improve sleep quality – also common concerns for women and men as they age.
Glutathione
Glutathione is a natural antioxidant that can help the body clear cellular waste and protect against oxidative stress and damage. Production declines with age, making supplementation important for liver detoxification and immune system functioning.
Methylcobalamin
Methylcobalamin is a form of B-12 critical for red blood cell and energy production. Hormonal decline during menopause and andropause can coincide with Vitamin B-12 deficiency, making supplementation important for fatigue, stamina, cognition, and mood for midlife women and men.
Sermorelin
Sermorelin is a growth hormone releasing hormone that has been shown to help with sleep quality and physiologic recovery. As a longevity medication, it may also help with cognitive function and body composition.
Metformin
Metformin is often prescribed to help patients meet their weight management goals by regulating glucose metabolism and has shown promise for protecting age-related cellular processes.
Belmar Pharmacy offers a variety of dosage forms and strengths so providers can customize these longevity medications for specific patient needs. Most of these age management medications are available in oral tablets, sublingual tables, and oral capsules. Additionally, some are available as nasal sprays, injectables, or topical creams. These options make it easy to get the dosage form and strength that works best for each individual, including patients who need longevity medications without certain types of fillers and dyes.
Commonly Asked Questions About Longevity Medicine
Everyone ages differently, impacted by a unique combination of genetics, lifestyle, environment, and health habits. These factors shape how we experience the effects of aging, both inside and out.
Longevity medications may be appropriate for:
- Women and men experiencing early signs of aging or chronic fatigue
- Individuals with chronic inflammatory diseases
- Adults experiencing poor sleep quality
- Patients seeking to improve cognitive clarity or immune resilience
- Anyone looking to proactively support their healthy aging journey
Sermorelin is a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). A GHRH, also called a growth hormone secretagogue, may help stimulate the pituitary gland to release endogenous growth hormone. Growth hormone is vital to many cellular pathways within the body, and its reduction over time is thought to have a meaningful influence on the aging process.
When it comes to brain health, sermorelin may support cognition by improving problem solving and memory skills in older adults. Additionally, growth hormone medications also increase insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which could mean changes in body composition. How fat is distributed and metabolized affects overall cardiovascular and metabolic health, which may help with longevity.
People who take sermorelin may find they have increased strength and energy levels, influencing their athletic endurance. They also report deeper stages of sleep, which may help patients achieve better rest and recovery.
Compounded longevity medications are available in a variety of forms to suit different patient needs and preferences. Each form offers different advantages in terms of absorption and convenience. Longevity and age management medications are available as:
- Oral tablets
- Sublingual tablets
- Capsules
- Injectables
- Nasal sprays
- Topical creams
