Peptide Therapy for Athletes: What Works
Sermorelin for recovery and growth hormone optimization, NAD+ for sustained energy and endurance, glutathione for oxidative stress from training. These compounds support the demands of serious training without banned substances.
What you're dealing with
Recovery limits training volume
You can't out-train poor recovery. Sermorelin stimulates your body's natural growth hormone production, which peaks during deep sleep. Better GH means faster tissue repair, less soreness, and the ability to maintain training frequency.
Energy management across sessions
Sustained energy isn't about caffeine -- it's about cellular efficiency. NAD+ drives mitochondrial energy production. Higher NAD+ levels mean better energy conversion at the cellular level, supporting both aerobic and anaerobic performance.
Oxidative stress from high training loads
Intense training generates massive amounts of free radicals. Glutathione is your body's primary defense against this oxidative damage. Injectable glutathione bypasses the gut for direct cellular delivery.
Body composition plateaus
You're already lean, but fine-tuning body composition requires hormonal optimization. Sermorelin supports the growth hormone levels that drive the lean mass / body fat ratio.
Compounds that address this
Each compound is prescribed by a licensed physician and shipped from a US pharmacy.
Sermorelin
Restores growth hormone to support recovery between sessions. IGF-1 levels restored in 14 days. Better sleep, faster tissue repair, improved body composition.
NAD+
Powers cellular energy production. Supports sustained performance, faster recovery between sessions, and reduced training fatigue.
Glutathione
Neutralizes the oxidative stress generated by intense training. Supports immune function during heavy training blocks. NK cell activity increased 400%+ in trials.
From people like you
“I was stalling on my recovery between training blocks. Sermorelin changed the timeline -- I can handle more volume without breaking down.”

“The glutathione is noticeable after heavy training weeks. I'm getting sick less during peak training.”

Frequently asked questions
Are these compounds banned in competition?
Regulations vary by sport and governing body. Sermorelin, NAD+, and glutathione are not banned by most recreational sports organizations. However, if you compete under WADA, USADA, or sport-specific anti-doping rules, you should check your specific federation's prohibited list before starting any compound.
How do these differ from performance-enhancing drugs?
LYV compounds work with your body's natural systems. Sermorelin stimulates your own GH production. NAD+ is a naturally occurring coenzyme. Glutathione is your body's own master antioxidant. These are restorative, not supraphysiologic.
When should I take these relative to training?
Sermorelin is best taken at bedtime on an empty stomach to align with natural GH peaks. NAD+ timing is flexible. Glutathione can be taken any time. Your prescribing physician provides specific dosing guidance.
Can I stack these with my current supplement regimen?
Yes. LYV compounds generally complement standard athletic supplementation (protein, creatine, electrolytes, etc.). Your physician reviews your current stack to ensure compatibility.
