Our approach

Where ancient biodiversity meets modern biochemistry

Andean BioStacks NYC is a specialized consulting practice at the intersection of peptide therapeutics, functional medicine, and Andean ethnobotany. We work with individuals, clinicians, and wellness brands to design evidence-informed protocols that harness the extraordinary molecular diversity of high-altitude ecosystems — translated through rigorous modern science.

01

Compounds we work with

Anxiolytic · Cognitive

Selank

Tuftsin analog · Heptapeptide · Cat. SK5

A synthetic analog of the naturally occurring immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin, Selank was developed in Russia as an anxiolytic and nootropic. It modulates the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and stabilizes enkephalins, producing a calm, focused mental state without sedation or dependency risk.

  • Anxiety and stress reduction without sedation
  • BDNF upregulation for neuroplasticity
  • Enhanced memory consolidation and learning
  • Immune modulation via tuftsin pathway
GH Secretagogue

Ipamorelin

Penta-peptide · Ghrelin mimetic · Cat. IP5

Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates GH release from the pituitary with high specificity — without significantly raising cortisol or prolactin, distinguishing it from older GH-releasing compounds. It works synergistically with GHRH analogs like CJC-1295 for amplified GH pulses.

  • Selective, pulsatile GH release
  • Lean body mass support and fat reduction
  • Deep sleep quality improvement
  • Minimal cortisol or appetite disruption
Cognitive · Neuroprotective

Semax

ACTH(4-7) analog · Neuropeptide · Cat. XA5

A synthetic analog of a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), Semax has been studied extensively in Russia for stroke recovery, cognitive enhancement, and neuroprotection. It increases BDNF and NGF, supporting the growth and maintenance of neurons — with rapid onset via nasal administration.

  • BDNF and NGF upregulation
  • Enhanced focus, memory, and processing speed
  • Neuroprotection after injury or hypoxia
  • Mood stabilization and stress resilience
Cellular Energy · Longevity

NAD+

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide · Cat. NJ100

NAD+ is a coenzyme present in every living cell, essential to hundreds of metabolic reactions. Levels decline significantly with age, contributing to fatigue, cognitive dulling, and reduced cellular repair capacity. Supplementation supports mitochondrial function, DNA repair via sirtuins, and overall cellular vitality.

  • Mitochondrial function and ATP production
  • Sirtuin activation for DNA repair
  • Cognitive clarity and mental energy
  • Metabolic regulation and inflammation control
Weight · GLP-1/Amylin

Cagrilintide

Long-acting amylin analog · Cat. CGL5

Cagrilintide is a long-acting analog of amylin, a hormone co-secreted with insulin by pancreatic beta cells. It slows gastric emptying, suppresses glucagon, and promotes satiety. In combination with semaglutide (CagriSema), it has shown some of the most significant weight reduction outcomes in clinical trials to date.

  • Sustained appetite suppression via amylin pathway
  • Slowed gastric emptying for prolonged satiety
  • Complementary action to GLP-1 agonists
  • Significant body weight reduction in trials
Metabolic · GLP-1

Semaglutide

GLP-1 receptor agonist · Cat. SM10

A glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist originally developed for type 2 diabetes, semaglutide has become one of the most clinically studied weight management compounds. It reduces appetite via central hypothalamic signaling, slows digestion, and improves glycemic control — with cardiovascular protective effects documented in large trials.

  • Significant, sustained body weight reduction
  • Blood glucose and HbA1c improvement
  • Cardiovascular risk reduction
  • Central appetite and satiety regulation
Metabolic · Dual agonist

Tirzepatide

GIP/GLP-1 dual receptor agonist · Cat. TR5

Tirzepatide is a first-in-class dual agonist that activates both GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors simultaneously. This dual mechanism produces greater weight loss and metabolic improvement than single-receptor agonists, making it one of the most effective peptide-based metabolic interventions available.

  • Superior weight reduction vs. single GLP-1 agonists
  • Dual receptor engagement for enhanced metabolic effect
  • Improved insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function
  • Favorable lipid and cardiovascular markers
Metabolic · Triple agonist

Retatrutide

GIP/GLP-1/Glucagon triple agonist · Cat. RT10

Retatrutide represents the frontier of metabolic peptide pharmacology — a triple receptor agonist targeting GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors simultaneously. Early phase 2 trials have shown unprecedented weight reduction outcomes (up to 24% body weight), with additional effects on lipid metabolism and hepatic fat reduction.

  • Triple-receptor mechanism for maximal metabolic impact
  • Among the highest weight reduction outcomes in trials
  • Hepatic fat reduction and NAFLD support
  • Enhanced energy expenditure via glucagon pathway

The science of peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the fundamental signaling molecules your body uses to regulate nearly every physiological process. Unlike synthetic pharmaceuticals that often override biological systems, peptides work with your body's existing pathways, acting as precise biological keys that unlock specific cellular responses.

The human body produces thousands of endogenous peptides. As we age, many of these decline — contributing to reduced recovery capacity, cognitive dulling, metabolic dysfunction, and immune vulnerability. Peptide therapy, practiced with precision and proper clinical context, offers a way to restore these signals.

Our consulting approach is grounded in the peer-reviewed literature, while remaining attentive to the emerging body of clinical experience. We help clients and practitioners navigate the nuanced regulatory landscape, source quality compounds, and design protocols proportionate to individual needs and risk profiles.

"Peptides represent one of the most promising frontiers in personalized medicine — not because they are new, but because they are, in the deepest sense, native to the human body."
