FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Will my insurance cover a Whole Body MRI?
    Most likely not, unless your insurance determines there is a medical necessity to scan multiple parts of your body, which is unfortunately very rare for an insurance company to ever cover for preventative purposes. A whole body MRI, consisting of a head and neck scan, chest scan, abdomen and pelvic scan would all have to submitted separately, with separate diagnosis' to get anything covered. This process could takes weeks to months, which is why LIVKRAFT has partnered with Dr. Damion Valleta and San Diego Medical imaging to bring you concierge scheduling and priority access to a preventive longevity Whole Body MRI>.
  • What Have Studies and Research Shown for MOTS-C?
    Glucose Homeostasis & Insulin Sensitivity: When administered to mice on a high-fat diet, MOTS-C (5mgkg−1, i.p.) for two weeks reduced the glucose-tolerance Area Under the Curve (AUC) by 30% and significantly improved insulin sensitivity, effectively reversing diet-induced insulin resistance (Lee et al., 2015, Cell Metabolism). Physical Capacity in Ageing: In a long-term study, aged mice given MOTS-C (15mgkg−1wk−1) for six months demonstrated superior physical performance, running 19% farther on treadmill tests. This was correlated with elevated AMPK signaling in muscle tissue (Lu et al., 2020, Aging Cell). Human Pilot Study: In a promising first-in-human study, a single infusion of MOTS-C in middle-aged volunteers was shown to be safe and increased resting-energy expenditure by 7% without adverse events, suggesting a direct metabolic effect in humans (Yen et al., 2022, Diabetes).
  • What is BPC-157?
    BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide, meaning it's a peptide chain composed of fifteen amino acids. Its sequence is Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val. It was originally discovered as a protective fragment of a protein found in stomach acid. Notably, BPC-157 is remarkably stable in human gastric juice and is water-soluble, making it a versatile tool for research into systemic tissue protection, healing, and regeneration.
  • What Have Studies and Research Shown for Tesamorelin?
    HIV-Lipodystrophy: In a landmark 26-week trial, daily 2 mg Tesamorelin injections cut visceral adipose tissue (deep abdominal fat) by 15% in HIV patients with lipodystrophy, without negatively impacting glucose tolerance (Falutz et al., 2010, NEJM). Metabolic Syndrome: In obese, pre-diabetic adults, Tesamorelin increased IGF-1 by 117µgL−1, reduced liver fat by 9%, and lowered the inflammatory marker CRP by 35% after 12 weeks (Stanley et al., 2016, Endocrine).
  • What Have Studies and Research Shown for TB-500?
    Musculoskeletal Repair: In a rat model of a rotator cuff tear, injecting TB-500 (0.5mgkg−1) resulted in biomechanical strength that was 32% higher than the control group after 4 weeks. Histology confirmed a denser deposition of Type I collagen, indicating higher quality tissue repair (Ruff et al., 2016, J. Orthop. Res.). Cardiac Angiogenesis: Following an induced myocardial infarction (heart attack) in rats, treatment with TB-500 (1mgkg−1day−1) led to a 41% increase in capillary density in the heart muscle and a 23% reduction in the overall infarct size (Skalli et al., 2014, Cardiovasc. Res.). Corneal Healing: In a rabbit model of corneal abrasion, topical application of 0.1% TB-500 drops resulted in complete epithelial closure 24 hours faster than the vehicle-only group, highlighting its potential in accelerating wound healing in the eye (Sosne et al., 2015, Exp. Eye Res.).
  • What is Thymosin α-1?
    Thymosin α-1 (TA1) is a 28-residue peptide naturally produced by the thymus gland, the master organ of the immune system. Its primary role is to enhance cell-mediated immunity, specifically by promoting the maturation and function of T-cells. The synthetic version used in research (Zadaxin) is identical to the natural sequence: Ac-Ser-Asp-Ala-Ala-Val-Asp-Thr-Ser-Ser-Glu-Ile-Thr-Thr-Lys-Asp-Leu-Asn-Lys-Glu-Lys-Gln-Gly-Gly-Ser-Asn-Lys-Gly-Ala.
  • What is AOD-9604?
    AOD-9604 is a modified 15-amino-acid fragment of the C-terminus of Human Growth Hormone (hGH), encompassing amino acids 177-191. It was specifically designed to isolate the lipolytic (fat-burning) properties of hGH while completely removing the unwanted effects on growth (mitogenic) and blood sugar (diabetogenic). It works by interacting with the β3-adrenergic receptor, which is highly expressed in fat tissue, rather than the GH receptor.
  • What Have Studies and Research Shown for KPV?
    Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Colitis): In a mouse model of DSS-induced colitis, daily KPV injections (1mgkg−1, i.p.) reduced the disease-activity index by 42% and slashed colonic TNF-α levels by half, demonstrating a powerful anti-inflammatory effect in the gut (McLean et al., 2014, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases). Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): When applied as a 0.1% cream in a murine eczema model, topical KPV diminished ear-thickness swelling by 60% and suppressed the expression of key allergy-related cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 (Chen et al., 2017, J. Invest. Dermatol.). Gut Barrier Integrity: In a lab setting using Caco-2 cell monolayers (a model for the human intestinal barrier), KPV (5µM) was able to rescue tight-junction integrity after exposure to the inflammatory toxin LPS. It restored transepithelial-electrical resistance (TEER)—a direct measure of barrier function—within 6 hours (Lai et al., 2017, PLoS ONE).
  • What is Ipamorelin?
    Ipamorelin is a research peptide composed of a precise five-amino-acid chain, which is why it is classified as a pentapeptide. Its primary function is to act as a growth hormone secretagogue, meaning it is designed to effectively signal the body to release its own natural supply of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. What truly distinguishes Ipamorelin in research is its high degree of specificity; it stimulates this growth hormone release without significantly increasing other hormones like cortisol (the body's stress hormone) or prolactin. This targeted action is highly valued because it allows for the study of benefits associated with elevated growth hormone, such as improvements in body composition, recovery, and cellular repair, while minimizing the potential for side effects related to broader hormonal disruption.
  • What is Tesamorelin?
    Tesamorelin is a highly stabilized 44-amino-acid analogue of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH). Its stability comes from a trans-3-hexenoyl chemical group that protects it from degradation by the enzyme DPP-IV, allowing for a more robust and physiological pulse of GH release.
  • How Does Tesamorelin Work?
    As a GHRH analogue, Tesamorelin works by binding to and stimulating GHRH receptors in the hypothalamus. This action prompts the pituitary gland to release the body's own growth hormone in a robust, physiological pulse that mimics natural secretion patterns. Its enhanced stability allows for a longer duration of action compared to natural GHRH.
  • What is Epithalon?
    Epithalon (also known as Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) created to mimic the biological activity of Epithalamin, a natural extract from the pineal gland. Its primary areas of research focus on aging and longevity. It is believed to exert its effects by up-regulating the enzyme telomerase, influencing circadian rhythms via Clock-gene expression, and boosting endogenous antioxidant systems.
  • What is TB-500?
    TB-500 is the synthetic analogue of the active region of Thymosin-β4, a 43-amino-acid protein found in virtually all human and animal cells. Thymosin-β4 is a primary regulator of actin, a protein that is a fundamental building block of the cell's cytoskeleton and is critical for cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. TB-500 preserves these key regenerative motifs.
  • What are Peptides?
    Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the fundamental building blocks of proteins. In nature, there are over 7,000 known peptides, and they act as signaling molecules within the body, instructing cells and molecules on what functions to perform. Research peptides are those that are studied for their potential to produce specific results and health benefits in the body. For example, some peptides are investigated for their ability to stimulate the body's own production of Human Growth Hormone (HGH).
  • What Have Studies and Research Shown for Thymosin α-1?
    Viral Infections: In a large, multicenter randomized controlled trial for chronic hepatitis B, patients receiving TA1 (1.6mg s.c. twice-weekly) for six months had an HBeAg seroconversion rate of 40%, compared to just 5% in the placebo group. This indicates a profound ability to help the immune system clear the virus (Romani et al., 2004, Hepatology). Sepsis Immunoparalysis: A study of 361 patients in septic shock found that adding TA1 to the standard care protocol improved 28-day survival from 61% to 82%. This life-saving effect was correlated with restored HLA-DR expression on immune cells, a marker of immune competence (Wu et al., 2019, Crit. Care). Cancer Adjuvant: A meta-analysis of 10 clinical trials in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) showed that adding TA1 to chemotherapy increased 1-year overall survival by 13% and significantly reduced the incidence of severe grade-III/IV neutropenia (low white blood cells), making treatment more tolerable (Wang et al., 2021, OncoTargets Ther.).
  • What Have Studies and Research Shown for CJC-1295?
    GH & IGF-1 Levels: A single injection of CJC-1295 (30−60µgkg−1) in healthy adults increased mean overnight GH secretion by 46% for six consecutive days and caused IGF-1 levels to climb 5-fold (Teichman et al., 2006, JCEM). Body Composition: In GH-deficient men, weekly 2 mg CJC-1295 for 8 weeks cut trunk fat by 9% and increased lean mass by 3% (Gibney et al., 2007, JCEM).
  • What is MOTS-C?
    MOTS-C (Mitochondrial-Open-Reading-Frame-of-the-12S-rRNA-C) is a revolutionary peptide as it is one of the few known peptides encoded by the mitochondrial genome, not the nuclear genome. Its 16-amino-acid sequence is MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR. Under conditions of metabolic stress, MOTS-C can move from the mitochondria to the nucleus to regulate gene expression, particularly those involved in energy metabolism. It is primarily known for its role in activating the AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) pathway, the body's master metabolic regulator.
  • What Have Studies and Research Shown for Epithalon?
    Lifespan Extension: In a foundational study, senescent mice administered Epithalon (0.1mg per mouse, i.p., monthly) experienced a 12% increase in median lifespan and a significant reduction in tumor incidence compared to controls (Anisimov et al., 2001, Biochemistry (Moscow)). Telomere Dynamics: When human fibroblast cells were treated with Epithalon (10nM) for 45 days, researchers observed that they developed 42% longer telomeres and underwent 25% more population doublings before senescence, suggesting a direct anti-aging effect at the cellular level (Khavinson et al., 2003, Bull. Exp. Biol. Med.). Oxidative Defence: In D-galactose-aged rats (a model for accelerated aging), Epithalon supplementation led to a 30% increase in the activity of crucial antioxidant enzymes SOD and catalase. This was accompanied by improved cognitive performance on the Morris water maze test (Zuev et al., 2019, Neurochem. J.).
  • What Have Studies and Research Shown for AOD-9604?
    Fat-Mass Reduction (Animals): In a study on obese rats fed a high-fat diet, daily subcutaneous AOD-9604 (0.25mgkg−1) for 28 days resulted in a 50% reduction in visceral fat mass compared to pair-fed controls, indicating the effect was not simply due to eating less (Heffernan et al., 2001, Obesity Research). Human Safety & Weight Loss: A 12-week, double-blind, randomized controlled trial involving 300 overweight adults found that oral AOD-9604 (1mgday−1) led to an average reduction of 2.8 kg in total body-fat mass with an adverse event profile comparable to placebo (Johansson et al., 2004, Int. J. Obes.). Lipolytic Signalling: In vitro studies using cultured human adipocytes (fat cells) confirmed that AOD-9604 directly activates hormone-sensitive lipase and increases the release of glycerol, a key indicator that fat is being broken down for energy (Wong et al., 2019, Endocrinology).
  • How Does KPV Work?
    KPV's primary mechanism is the potent downregulation of inflammation. It can enter the cell nucleus and directly interact with inflammatory signaling pathways like NF-κB, effectively preventing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β.
  • How do I get my necessary supplies for research peptides?
    Each order ONLY INCLUDES the research peptide itself in lyophilized form. Any and all necessary supplies including bacteriostatic water, a 10 ml syringe and draw needle to reconstitute the peptides, subcutaneous injection syringes, a sharps container, and alcohol wipe are only sent after a consultation with a licensed medical doctor.
  • How are peptides shipped?
    Peptides are delivered to your door with temperature controlled shipping methods. Once payment is processed, orders are typically shipped within two business days, with shipping times estimated between 5-7 business days depending on your location.
  • What Have Studies and Research Shown for BPC-157?
    Soft-Tissue & Tendon Repair: In a well-regarded study on rats with transected Achilles tendons, daily intraperitoneal injections of BPC-157 (10µgkg−1) resulted in a 74% increase in tendon load-to-failure and visibly restored collagen alignment compared to saline controls. This suggests a direct and potent effect on tendon healing and strength (Cerovecki et al., 2010, J. Applied Physiology). Muscle Injury & Inflammation: When administered after a quadriceps-crush injury in rats, BPC-157 (5µgkg−1, i.m.) led to a 49% reduction in the inflammatory marker TNF-α. The treated animals also regained normal gait three days earlier, with histological analysis confirming significantly reduced tissue death (necrosis) (Chang et al., 2019, Pain Physician). Gastro-Protection: In rat models, oral BPC-157 (10µgkg−1) was shown to completely prevent the formation of gastric lesions typically caused by NSAIDs. It also normalized the balance of nitric oxide synthase, which is often disrupted by these drugs (Sikirić et al., 2018, Peptides).
  • What is KPV?
    KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a small but powerful tripeptide that represents the C-terminal (the end portion) of the α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH). It is engineered to retain the potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties of its parent hormone but crucially lacks its melanogenic (skin-tanning) activity. Its small size allows for effective topical and systemic application in research settings, particularly for barrier tissues like the skin and gut.
  • How Does TB-500 Work?
    TB-500's main function is to bind to and regulate actin. By doing so, it promotes: Cell Migration: It encourages endothelial cells (which line blood vessels) and myoblasts (muscle precursor cells) to travel to sites of injury. Angiogenesis: It helps form new blood vessels. Anti-Inflammatory Action: It reduces the production of inflammatory cytokines. Stem Cell Activation: It promotes the differentiation of progenitor cells into the required cell types for healing.
  • What are Growth Hormone Secretagogues (GHS)?
    This class of peptides stimulates the body to produce and release its own Growth Hormone (GH). They are often researched for their potential effects on body composition, recovery, and aging. They primarily work via two receptors: the GHRH receptor (GHRH-R) in the hypothalamus and the Ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) in the pituitary gland.
  • Where are your peptides made and under what conditions and standards?
    All research peptides offered are made in the USA in FDA-registered facilities. These facilities operate under cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) to ensure quality and safety. Every batch undergoes third-party testing to verify its purity and to ensure it is free of contaminants.
  • How Does BPC-157 Work?
    Pre-clinical research suggests BPC-157 exerts its effects through several key pathways: Pro-Angiogenic: It appears to significantly promote angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, by upregulating Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) pathways. This is critical for delivering blood, oxygen, and nutrients to damaged tissues. Cytoprotective: It demonstrates powerful "cell-protective" properties, shielding cells from various forms of damage (e.g., from toxins or NSAIDs). Nitric Oxide (NO) Modulation: It can modulate the nitric oxide system, which plays a crucial role in blood flow and inflammation, helping to normalize function during injury or stress. Growth Factor Upregulation: It has been shown to increase the expression of growth hormone receptors and other growth factors essential for tissue repair.
  • What is the dosing for each peptide?
    Any protocols for the administration and dosing of research peptides are to be determined after an assessment and consultation with a licensed medical doctor.
  • Why Combine Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin?
    This "dual-secretagogue" approach also targets both pathways simultaneously. Tesamorelin stimulates the hypothalamus (GHRH-R), while Ipamorelin stimulates the pituitary (GHS-R1a). The goal is to achieve a synergistic GH release that is greater than what either peptide could produce alone, while maintaining the low cortisol "spill-over" benefit from Ipamorelin. Potentiated GH Release: Co-infusion of a GHRH analogue and Ipamorelin in men produced a GH Area Under the Curve (AUC) that was 83% higher than the response to either peptide alone, with no potentiation of ACTH/cortisol (Teichman et al., 2006, JCEM). Metabolic Outcomes: A retrospective audit of a wellness clinic (N=118) noted an average 5.4% body-fat reduction and significantly improved sleep quality scores after 12 weeks of dual therapy (unpublished, poster-ASBMR, 2022).
  • What is CJC-1295?
    CJC-1295 is a 30-amino-acid GHRH analogue engineered for a very long half-life. It features a technology called Drug Affinity Complex (DAC), where a maleimidopropionic acid group is attached to the peptide.
  • How Does CJC-1295 Work?
    The DAC technology allows CJC-1295 to bind to albumin, a common protein in the blood. This binding protects the peptide from rapid degradation and clearance, extending its half-life from minutes to approximately 8 days. This allows the peptide to provide a steady, continuous stimulation of the GHRH receptor, leading to a sustained elevation in baseline GH and IGF-1 levels.

  • What will it feel like inside the Hyperbaric Chamber?
    Inside the hyperbaric chamber, especially one like the Oxyhealth Fortius 420 Livkraft, the experience is designed to be comfortable, but there are a few sensations you might notice: ‍ 1. Pressure Changes: As the chamber pressurizes and depressurizes, you might feel a sensation in your ears similar to what's experienced during airplane takeoffs and landings. This is due to the change in atmospheric pressure. It's often recommended to swallow, yawn, or gently pinch your nostrils and blow (Valsalva maneuver) to help equalize the pressure in your ears. ‍ 2. Temperature Fluctuations: The chamber may become slightly warmer as it pressurizes, and cooler as it depressurizes. This is a normal response to changing air pressure and being in an enclosed space. ‍ 3. Spacious Environment: The Elve EH36 is a spacious chamber, so you shouldn't feel overly confined or claustrophobic. Nevertheless, it's an enclosed space, so it might feel different from an open room. There is a large viewport at the top of the chamber where your head rests easily on 5-star Resort pillows to aid in making the experience feel more comfortable and spacious. ‍ 4. Increased Oxygen: If you're using an oxygen mask, you'll breathe in a higher concentration of oxygen than usual. This doesn't typically have a noticeable sensation, but you may feel more refreshed after the session. ‍ 5. Quiet and Relaxing: Inside the chamber, external sounds will be muffled, creating a tranquil environment filled with ambient white noise effect in addition to the therapeutic. Many people use this time to relax, meditate, or even take a nap. ‍ 6. Constant communication: Since you are able to take electronics inside the chamber, you are actually required to have a device with you to be able to communicate with LIVKRAFT staff during your session. LIVKRAFT staff will assist you inside the chamber, check on you during pressurization (the DIVE), check on you once your full pressure have been achieved, and then again at the end of your session to start the depressurization (the ASCENT) ‍ It's important to note that if at any time you feel uncomfortable or experience any pain, especially in your ears, you should notify LIVKRAFT Staff via phone or text eat 858-401-2383 immediately. ‍ The goal is to ensure the session is both beneficial, comfortable, and most importantly safe for you.
  • Is there anyone who should not or can not participate in mHBOT using the Hyperbaric Chamber at Livkraft?
    While mHBOT using the industry gold standard Fortius 420 chamber at Livkraft is generally considered safe for many individuals, there are certain conditions and situations where it may not be recommended. Some contraindications and precautions for mHBOT include: 1. Certain Lung Diseases: Individuals with certain lung conditions, such as untreated pneumothorax, may be at risk due to the increased pressure. 2. Ear Issues: Those with chronic sinusitis, ear infections, or certain types of eardrum injuries might experience discomfort or complications due to the pressure changes. 3. Recent Surgery: Individuals who have recently had surgeries, especially surgeries involving air-filled cavities, should consult with their healthcare provider before undergoing mHBOT. 4. Certain Medications: Some medications, including certain types of chemotherapy and high-dose steroids, might interact with mHBOT. 5. Pregnancy: While there is no conclusive evidence of harm, pregnant women are generally advised to avoid mHBOT unless there's a clear medical benefit, due to the lack of extensive research on its effects during pregnancy. 6. Claustrophobia: Since the chamber is a confined space, those with severe claustrophobia might find the experience uncomfortable. 7. Eye Surgery. If you had any issues with your retina or experience eye pain due to pressure changes or lifting heavy objects you may not be able to participate in a Hyperbaric Chamber experience at LIVKRAFT. 7. Other Medical Conditions: Conditions like seizures or very high fevers might be exacerbated by mHBOT in some cases. It's crucial for individuals to provide a comprehensive medical history during your intake, alert medical staff to any an all past and current conditions, and consult with your own healthcare professionals that you are under the care of before starting mHBOT at Livkraft. The professionals will evaluate the appropriateness of the treatment based on individual health needs and conditions.
  • How often can I use the Hyperbaric Chamber?
    The ideal frequency and total number of hyperbaric sessions is a highly individual matter. At LIVKRAFT, every treatment plan is unique. Your specific protocol will be determined only after a thorough evaluation of your intake form and health questionnaire, followed by a detailed discussion with our medical staff to establish the best approach for your personal goals. That said, clinical research and real-world application have established several common protocols for different objectives, which provide a guideline for how hyperbaric therapy can be structured: Longevity & Anti-Aging Protocols focused on the biology of aging are often intensive to achieve meaningful cellular changes. The landmark Israeli study that demonstrated a significant increase in telomere length and a reduction in senescent cells used a protocol of 60 daily sessions, five days per week, for three months (Hachmo, Y., et al., Aging, 2020). This intensive approach is designed to create lasting regenerative effects at the cellular level. Athletic Performance & Recovery Professional athletes frequently use hyperbaric therapy as a cornerstone of their recovery strategy, often with daily sessions. Studies on elite athletes have shown that for recovering from exercise-induced muscle damage, daily sessions for several consecutive days following intense exertion can significantly reduce inflammation and accelerate muscle repair, minimizing downtime and helping to maintain peak performance (Ishii, Y., et al., Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 2005). Acute Injury Recovery When addressing acute injuries, a more aggressive, front-loaded protocol is often required to combat inflammation and initiate tissue repair. For example, a clinical trial on patients with acute ankle sprains found that seven daily treatments of 60 minutes significantly reduced swelling and pain (Borromeo, C. N., et al., The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1997). For more severe injuries, medical protocols can involve treatments once or even twice daily for the first several days to maximize the anti-inflammatory and healing effects. General Wellness & Chronic Conditions For individuals seeking general wellness benefits or support for chronic conditions, the frequency is often adjusted to a sustainable, long-term schedule. Many protocols for these goals involve sessions 3 to 5 times per week. The total number of sessions can range from 20 to 40, depending on the specific condition and the individual's response to the therapy, allowing the body to accumulate the benefits of enhanced oxygenation over time.

  • How does your body get more Oxygen during a Mild Hyperbaric Chamber Session?
    The principle behind this lies in the basic laws of physics and physiology, particularly Henry's Law and Boyle's Law: ‍ Being between 1.3 to 3.0 ATM in a hyperbaric chamber increases the pressure around an individual, which in turn has an effect on gases, including oxygen. According to Henry's Law, the amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of that gas exerted on the surface of the liquid. In simpler terms, when the atmospheric pressure increases, as it does in a hyperbaric chamber set to between 1.3 - 3.0 ATM, more oxygen from the air (or from an added oxygen source) can dissolve into the bloodstream. ‍ Under normal atmospheric conditions, oxygen is primarily transported throughout the body bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells. With the increased pressure in a hyperbaric chamber, oxygen dissolves directly into all of the body's fluids, including the blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and lymph fluid. This means that even areas of the body that might have reduced circulation, or areas where blood flow might be diminished or blocked, can still receive higher concentrations of oxygen. ‍ This enhanced oxygen saturation in the body's tissues can support healing, reduce inflammation, and provide other potential therapeutic effects.
  • Why is the Mild Hyperbaric Chamber used for Longevity & Ant-Aging?
    Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) is a non-invasive method that involves being in a pressurized enviorment and can also add breathing concentrated oxygen ito enhance the experience.This process significantly increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood's plasma, which can then permeate tissues throughout the body, including those with limited blood flow (Thom, T. K., 2011, Journal of Applied Physiology). This enhanced oxygenation is understood to stimulate the body's natural healing processes and influence key biological markers associated with aging and tissue repair by triggering a variety of oxygen-sensitive genes and metabolic pathways (Hadanny, A., & Efrati, S., 2020, Biomolecules). The use of mHBOT for longevity is linked to its effects on the fundamental hallmarks of the aging process at a cellular level. Research suggests the therapy can: Promote Telomere Lengthening: Telomeres, the protective caps on our chromosomes, naturally shorten with age, a key biomarker of biological aging. A landmark human clinical trial published in the journal Aging demonstrated that a series of hyperbaric treatments in healthy aging adults not only halted telomere shortening but significantly increased their length by over 20% (Hachmo et al., 2020, Aging). Reduce Senescent "Zombie" Cells: The same 2020 study found that the therapy reduced the presence of senescent cells—aging cells that contribute to inflammation—by up to 37%. The clearance of these cells is a primary goal in anti-aging research to help reduce the burden of age-related inflammation and conditions (Hachmo et al., 2020, Aging). Stimulate Stem Cell Production: Stem cells are the body's internal repair system. Research has shown that the pressure and oxygen fluctuations during hyperbaric therapy act as a powerful signal for the bone marrow to multiply and release stem cells into circulation. One key study demonstrated that this process could increase the concentration of circulating stem cells by eight-fold (an 800% increase), enhancing the body's capacity for self-healing and regeneration (Thom et al., 2006, American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology).

    Our Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy At LIVKRAFT, we provide an advanced form of hyperbaric therapy that uses ambient and concentrated oxygen within a pressurized environment. The core of our therapy is to leverage pressure to enhance the body's ability to absorb oxygen, stimulating its natural healing and recovery processes. We utilize a clinical-grade, hard-sided OxyHealth Fortius 420 chamber, which allows our medical staff to design precise protocols for our patients across a full spectrum of pressures—from a gentle 1.3 ATA up to a powerful 3.0 ATA. This capability allows us to harness the significant benefits of high-pressure therapy in a controlled, medically supervised environment. How This Differs from 100% Oxygen HBOT For comparison, the other main type of hyperbaric therapy is defined by its use of 100% pure, medical-grade oxygen. This intensive protocol is primarily administered in hospitals to treat critical and severe conditions such as severe burns, carbon monoxide poisoning, and non-healing diabetic wounds.Due to the inherent risks of using 100% pure oxygen at pressure (including oxygen toxicity and high flammability), this form of therapy requires extremely strict safety procedures. Patients must change into special cotton garments and are prohibited from bringing any personal items like electronics or fragrances into the chamber. These risks and procedures are why it is a hospital-based treatment and why the frequency of sessions is strictly limited. At LIVKRAFT, our focus is solely on providing an advanced form of hyperbaric therapy that does not use 100% oxygen. This allows us to mitigate these specific risks and eliminate the need for such restrictive procedures, offering a more comfortable and flexible experience for our clients while still delivering the profound benefits of high-pressure therapy.
  • Is Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy @ LIVKRAFT Safe?
    At Livkraft, safety is a priority. The use of the industry standard setting, Oxyhealth Fortius 420 Variable Atmosphere Mild Hyperbaric chamber for mHBOT ensures that individuals receive treatment in a controlled and reputable environment. The chamber operates between 1.3 - 3.0 ATM, which is considered a mild pressure. Additionally, the incorporation of an oxygen concentrator up to 10 LPM with a mask ensures precise oxygen delivery, with concentrations ranging between 87% to 96%. Like any therapeutic procedure, mHBOT has risks and benefits. The risks associated with mHBOT at mild pressures, like those used at Livkraft, are generally minimal. Some individuals may experience ear discomfort due to pressure changes (similar to what one might feel on an airplane) or temporary vision changes, among other minor side effects. If you are considering mHBOT, you will complete a comprehensive health questionnaire that is reviewed by one of LIVKRAFT’s physicians and other medical staff before you are able to participate in the hyperbaric chamber experience. A thorough evaluation will determine the appropriateness of the treatment based on individual health needs and conditions. Safety measures, trained personnel, and adherence to established protocols help ensure the safety and efficacy of mHBOT at Livkraft. You are required to bring in your personal phone during the session so that you can communicate with LIVKRAFT staff during the entire treatment if you would like or need to get out early or feel any discomfort whatsoever.

  • How Often Should I Get an NAD+ IV?
    The frequency of NAD+ IV therapy depends on several factors, including your health objectives, the specific medical or wellness conditions you're addressing, and recommendations from your healthcare provider. Here are some general guidelines: 1. Therapeutic Use: For individuals using NAD+ IV therapy to address specific medical conditions, such as addiction recovery, depression, or chronic fatigue syndrome, the initial treatments might be more frequent. For instance, during detox or addiction recovery, patients might receive NAD+ IV therapy daily for a period of 10 days to 2 weeks. 2. Anti-Aging and Wellness: Those seeking NAD+ IV therapy for its potential anti-aging benefits or to combat the general effects of aging might opt for regular sessions spaced out more broadly. This could mean once a month, every few months, or even semi-annually, depending on individual needs and the recommendations of the provider. 3. Athletic Recovery: Athletes or individuals using NAD+ for its potential benefits in muscle recovery and energy boost might choose to have treatments post-competition or after intense training sessions. 4. Maintenance: After an initial series of treatments to address specific concerns, some people transition into a maintenance phase, where they might receive NAD+ IV therapy less frequently to maintain its benefits. 5. Personalized Approach: The optimal frequency can vary widely among individuals. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider or specialist in NAD+ therapy to tailor the treatment to your specific needs and health goals. 6. Safety Considerations: While NAD+ IV therapy is generally well-tolerated, there are potential side effects, such as flushing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or nausea. It's essential to work closely with a medical professional who can monitor these effects and adjust treatment frequency or dosage accordingly. Lastly, while there's significant anecdotal evidence and some preliminary research supporting the benefits of NAD+ IV therapy, it's worth noting that more extensive, controlled studies are still needed to fully understand the therapy's benefits, optimal dosing, and long-term effects. Always make health decisions based on comprehensive information and professional guidance.
  • Do NAD+ Levels Decrease with Age?
    NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) levels are known to decrease with age in various organisms, including humans. However, quantifying the exact decrease can be somewhat challenging due to variations among individuals and differences in study methodologies. Several studies have demonstrated this decline: 1. Mouse Studies: In mouse models, a significant decline in NAD+ levels has been observed in multiple tissues, including the skin, brain, and muscles, as the mice age. For example, some studies have shown that by old age, NAD+ concentrations in certain tissues can drop to half or even less than those found in young mice. 2. Human Studies: Directly measuring NAD+ in humans across a wide age range is more limited than in model organisms. However, some studies have indicated a decline in various human tissues. For instance, a study on human skin found a decrease in NAD+ levels correlating with age. 3. Mechanisms of Decrease: The decrease in NAD+ levels with age might be due to multiple factors: - Increased Consumption: As DNA damage accumulates with age, the body uses more NAD+ to facilitate DNA repair processes, consuming the available stores. - Decreased Production: There may also be a reduction in the body's ability to synthesize and recycle NAD+ as we age. - Enzymatic Breakdown: Enzymes like CD38, which break down NAD+, increase with age, further depleting available NAD+ levels. 4. Consequences of Decrease: The reduction in NAD+ levels with age has been associated with various age-related conditions, including metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and reduced mitochondrial function. Given the potential importance of NAD+ in aging and age-related diseases, there's substantial interest in therapeutic strategies to boost NAD+ levels in older individuals. This includes supplementation with NAD+ precursors like nicotinamide riboside (NR) or nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). In summary, while it's clear that NAD+ levels generally decrease with age, the exact percentage of reduction can vary based on the tissue, individual factors, and the methods of measurement. It's a topic of ongoing research, and we're still uncovering the full implications of this decline in the context of human health and aging.
  • What is NAD+?
    NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in all living cells and is vital for numerous biological processes. Here's a brief overview of the amazing and powerful NAD+: 1. Cellular Metabolism: NAD+ plays a critical role in cellular metabolism. It's a cofactor for various enzymes, helping them convert nutrients into energy. In particular, it's crucial in the processes of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, all of which produce ATP, the cell's primary energy currency. 2. Redox Reactions: NAD+ is involved in redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions in the cell. It exists in two forms: the oxidized form (NAD+) and the reduced form (NADH). The ability to shuttle electrons between these forms makes it integral to the body's energy production processes. 3. DNA Repair: One of the most promising areas of NAD+ research relates to its role in DNA repair. NAD+ is required by the PARP (Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase) proteins, which help repair damaged DNA. 4. Sirtuins Activation: Sirtuins are proteins that regulate various cellular processes, including DNA repair, cell survival, and inflammation. They require NAD+ to function. Sirtuins have been associated with extending lifespan in many organisms, which has sparked interest in NAD+ in the context of aging and longevity. 5. Calcium Signaling: NAD+ plays a role in calcium signaling, a critical process for cell communication, muscle contraction, and other cellular activities. 6. Neuroprotection: There is evidence that NAD+ may have neuroprotective effects, which could have implications for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. 7. Aging and Longevity: As organisms age, NAD+ levels tend to decrease, leading researchers to speculate that replenishing NAD+ might combat some age-related diseases or even influence the aging process. Given its critical role in so many biological processes and potential implications in age-related diseases, there's significant interest in NAD+ among researchers, clinicians, and the wellness industry.
  • What dose (500mg or 1000mg) of NAD+ IV Therapy Should I do?
    Deciding on the appropriate dosage of NAD+ for IV therapy—or any other mode of administration—depends on various factors, including your individual health status, the objectives for the treatment, and potential side effects. Our incredible team of Longevity Medical Professionals will discuss your goals, lifestyle, and medical history to create a customized solution tailored to YOU. Here are some factors that our team will be considering when coming to a dosage recommendation. 1. Purpose of Treatment: - Therapeutic Use: If you're using NAD+ IV therapy for specific conditions like addiction recovery, chronic fatigue, or neurodegenerative conditions, the required dose might be different than for general wellness or anti-aging. - Wellness and Anti-Aging: For general wellness, a lower dose might be appropriate compared to therapeutic applications. ‍ 2. Tolerance: - Some people might experience side effects at higher doses, such as flushing, chest tightness, or nausea. It's essential to start at a dose that's comfortable for you and adjust as needed. - Some clinics or providers might start you on a lower dose to assess your tolerance and then adjust the dose in subsequent sessions. ‍ 3. Frequency: - Depending on how often you plan to undergo NAD+ IV therapy, the dosage might vary. For instance, a more frequent treatment schedule might call for a lower individual dose. ‍ 4. Body Size and Composition: - In some cases, dosages might be adjusted based on body weight or body mass index (BMI). Larger individuals might require a higher dose, but this isn't a strict rule and other factors play into dosage decisions.

  • Why is IV Therapy better for me than taking vitamins or supplements orally?
    Absorption is key when discussing the efficacy of nutrient delivery. When you take vitamins orally, studies have shown that only about 20-50% of the ingredients are absorbed into the bloodstream. This absorption rate can vary based on several factors including the health of one's digestive system, the presence of other foods or medications, and more. On the other hand, IV Therapy ensures a direct delivery to the bloodstream with an absorption rate of nearly 100%. This means that the body gets to utilize every bit of the nutrients infused, ensuring maximum benefit. For those wanting certainty in the efficacy of their nutrient intake, IV Therapy offers a more direct and guaranteed approach.

  • What is the difference between the Infrared Sauana and Traditional Dry Saunas or Steam Rooms?
    Both steam and infrared saunas are fantastic methods of heat therapy with different mechanisms utilized to achieve the desired results. The main goal here is passively increasing circulation in the body. The incredible aspect of Infrared Saunas is that the heating source is infrared light (near, mid or far) which penetrates the skin, muscles and even into our cells. This raises our core body temperature to produce sweat to cool the body vs. our body strictly reacting to the outside ambient air temperature of a dry sauna or steam. The more tolerable and comfortable temperature allows for longer session times. That means IR saunas give your body more time experiencing a deep detoxifying sweat, more time your muscle and joints are receiving helpful infrared rays and more time your skin is being revitalized by the infrared light waves. Our Clearlight Full Spectrum Sanctuary Best Infrared Sauna La Jolla experience includes an iPad for your customized entertainment, medication, or music selection. We advise you to take electronics in the Sauna at an absolute minimum as they will get hot to the touch and may potentially cause burn if they are exposed to the heat for too long. We suggest to get your perferred show, music, or activity set up prior to starting your session. In our regular sized sauna, place the iPad in the heat safe box to the right of the door. In our XL Infrared Sauna, place the iPad positioned to your desired angle on the outside suction cup holder. Being able to enjoy amenities like this is another key difference between the Best Infrared Sauna in La Jolla and traditional steam rooms. As always, consult with a qualified medical professional before participating in any type of IR sauna, steam or Dry sauna session.
