A Research-Based Approach to Perimenopause & Menopause

Perimenopause and menopause are among the most significant physiological transitions a woman will experience. Changes in hormone production can influence body composition, skin quality, energy levels, recovery, metabolic health and overall wellbeing. While every woman experiences this stage differently, many share similar frustrations—feeling as though their bodies no longer respond the way they once did.

At ÈLEVA Peptide Labs, we wanted to create more than individual peptide products. We wanted to build progressive research collections designed around the common physiological changes that occur throughout this stage of life.

Introducing The Shift Collection—three carefully curated peptide bundles that build upon one another, allowing researchers to progressively explore additional areas of interest as their research evolves.

It all begins with The Shift Collection – Core.

🌿 The Shift Collection – Core

The Core Collection was designed around two of the most common concerns reported during perimenopause and menopause: changes in body composition and visible changes in skin quality.

Rather than overwhelming researchers with multiple compounds from the outset, Core focuses on two peptides that each target a distinct area of interest and complement one another exceptionally well.

Retatrutide 20mg

One of the most widely discussed investigational peptides in metabolic research, Retatrutide has attracted significant attention for its potential role in body composition through its unique triple-hormone receptor activity (GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors). Ongoing research is exploring its effects on appetite regulation, energy balance and weight management, making it a logical foundation for women looking to investigate one of the most common physiological changes associated with perimenopause and menopause.

As metabolic rate changes and body fat distribution often shifts during this stage of life, Retatrutide forms the cornerstone of The Shift Collection by addressing one of the biggest concerns many women experience.

GHK-Cu 100mg

While body composition is one piece of the puzzle, healthy ageing extends far beyond the number on the scales.

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide that has been extensively studied for its role in skin biology, collagen production, tissue repair and overall skin health. Research has explored its ability to support collagen synthesis, improve skin quality and contribute to healthy ageing processes, making it one of the most established peptides within aesthetic and regenerative medicine research.

By pairing GHK-Cu alongside Retatrutide, The Shift Collection – Core addresses two of the most commonly researched areas during perimenopause and menopause: supporting body composition while simultaneously exploring pathways involved in maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin.

🌿 The Shift Collection – Elevate

Once the foundations of body composition and skin health have been established, the next logical step is to broaden the research focus.

While changes in body composition are often one of the first things women notice during perimenopause and menopause, they are rarely the only changes taking place. Reduced cellular energy, slower recovery, altered gut function and increased low-grade inflammation are all commonly reported as women progress through this stage of life.

The Shift Collection – Elevate builds directly upon the Core Collection by introducing two additional research compounds selected to complement the existing foundation.

NAD+ 500mg

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential coenzyme involved in hundreds of cellular processes, particularly those responsible for energy production and mitochondrial function. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and researchers continue to investigate how this reduction may influence cellular energy, healthy ageing and metabolic health.

By incorporating NAD+ into the Elevate Collection, researchers can begin exploring cellular function alongside the body composition and skin health focus already established within Core.

KPV 10mg

Inflammation becomes an increasingly important area of research throughout perimenopause and menopause. Many women report experiencing more frequent joint discomfort, slower recovery, skin flare-ups and changes in digestive health during this stage of life.

KPV is a naturally occurring peptide fragment that has attracted growing research interest for its anti-inflammatory properties and potential role in supporting gut and skin health. While research is still developing, its inclusion within the Elevate Collection reflects the growing appreciation that healthy ageing extends beyond metabolism alone.

Together, NAD+ and KPV broaden the research focus from appearance and body composition to include cellular energy, healthy inflammatory balance and overall wellbeing.

Why Elevate?

The Shift Collection – Elevate now supports research across four key pillars:

• Body composition
• Skin health & rejuvenation
• Cellular energy
• Healthy inflammatory balance & gut health

For researchers seeking a broader and more comprehensive approach than Core alone, Elevate represents the natural next step within The Shift Collection.

🌿 The Shift Collection – Elite

For researchers seeking the most comprehensive approach within The Shift Collection, Elite builds upon the foundations established in both Core and Elevate by introducing two additional peptides focused on metabolic health, mitochondrial function and antioxidant support.

By this stage, the research focus has expanded well beyond body composition alone. Elite recognises that healthy ageing is influenced by numerous interconnected systems, including how efficiently our cells produce energy, respond to oxidative stress and adapt to the physiological changes that accompany perimenopause and menopause.

To complement the four peptides already included within Elevate, Elite adds MOTS-c and Glutathione, creating ÈLEVA's most complete women's research collection.

MOTS-c 20mg

MOTS-c is a naturally occurring mitochondrial-derived peptide that has become an exciting area of metabolic research. Scientists are investigating its potential role in cellular energy regulation, metabolic flexibility and exercise performance, with growing interest in how mitochondrial health influences healthy ageing.

As women progress through perimenopause and menopause, many notice reduced stamina, slower recovery following exercise and a general decline in physical resilience. While research is ongoing, MOTS-c has emerged as one of the most promising investigational peptides for exploring the relationship between mitochondrial function and metabolic health.

Its inclusion within Elite expands the collection's focus beyond body composition to the cellular systems responsible for producing energy throughout the body.

Glutathione 1500mg

Often referred to as the body's master antioxidant, Glutathione plays an essential role in protecting cells from oxidative stress while supporting normal detoxification pathways and overall cellular health.

Natural glutathione production declines with age, prompting increasing research into its role in healthy ageing, skin quality and general wellbeing. While it has become well known within aesthetic medicine for its association with skin health, its biological importance extends far beyond cosmetic applications.

Within The Shift Collection – Elite, Glutathione complements the existing peptides by adding an additional layer of antioxidant support to a collection already focused on metabolism, energy production and healthy ageing.

Why Elite?

The Shift Collection – Elite represents the culmination of everything introduced throughout the collection, bringing together six carefully selected peptides that complement one another across multiple areas of research.

Together, Elite supports investigation into:

• Body composition
• Healthy skin and collagen biology
• Cellular energy production
• Healthy inflammatory balance
• Metabolic function
• Mitochondrial health
• Antioxidant defence
• Healthy ageing

Rather than focusing on a single aspect of wellbeing, Elite reflects the understanding that the physiological changes experienced during perimenopause and menopause are complex and interconnected. By combining peptides that each contribute to a different area of research, The Shift Collection – Elite offers ÈLEVA's most comprehensive approach for researchers exploring this important stage of life.

No two women experience the shift in exactly the same way.

Some begin with Core, focusing on body composition and healthy ageing. Others may prefer the broader support offered by Elevate, while those seeking the most comprehensive research approach may find Elite to be the ideal starting point.

Depending on your individual research interests, The Shift Collection also pairs exceptionally well with our Cognitive Bundle, featuring Semax and Selank, or our Intimacy Bundle, featuring PT-141 and Kisspeptin-10. These complementary collections allow researchers to further personalise their approach based on the areas they wish to explore.

At ÈLEVA Peptide Labs, The Shift Collection was created with one goal in mind: to provide thoughtfully curated research bundles that reflect the complexity of perimenopause and menopause, rather than reducing this stage of life to a single symptom or compound.

Because the shift is personal, your research should be too.
