Epitalon

ANIMAL STUDIES

Epitalon (also spelled epithalon or epithalone) is the peptide that longevity enthusiasts desperately want to work. A simple tetrapeptide — just four amino acids — that activates telomerase,…

Nootropic

Cerebrolysin

HUMAN TRIALS

Cerebrolysin is a porcine (pig) brain-derived peptide preparation consisting of low-molecular-weight neuropeptides and free amino acids obtained through standardized enzymatic proteolysis of purified…

Metabolic

DSIP

HUMAN TRIALS

Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide (DSIP) is a nine-amino-acid neuropeptide first isolated from the cerebral venous blood of rabbits during electrically induced sleep in 1977 by a research group in…

Gonadorelin

THEORETICAL

Gonadorelin is synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Clinically used pulsatile; currently prescribed off-label in TRT protocols as an HCG alternative.

Growth Hormone

IGF-1 LR3

THEORETICAL

IGF-1 LR3 (Long R3) is an analog of insulin-like growth factor 1 with an extended N-terminus and Arg3 substitution, increasing half-life and reducing binding-protein affinity.

Sexual Health

Kisspeptin

HUMAN TRIALS

Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide that functions as the master upstream regulator of reproductive hormone production in humans. It is the signal that tells the hypothalamus to start the entire cascade of…

Regenerative

KPV

ANIMAL STUDIES

KPV is a tripeptide (lysine-proline-valine) derived from the C-terminal end of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), a neuropeptide with well-established anti-inflammatory properties.…

Immune

LL-37

HUMAN TRIALS

LL-37 is the only human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide — a 37-amino-acid peptide that represents one of the body's most important first-line defense molecules against infection. It is produced by…

GH Secretagogue

MK-677

HUMAN TRIALS

MK-677, also known as ibutamoren or ibutamoren mesylate, occupies a unique position in the growth hormone secretagogue landscape for one simple reason: you swallow it. In a world where virtually…

Longevity

MOTS-c

ANIMAL STUDIES

MOTS-c is the longevity peptide that actually has serious science behind it — and by "serious science," we mean a clearly defined origin, an identified mechanism, independent research from multiple…

Sexual Health

PT-141

FDA-APPROVED

PT-141, known by its generic name bremelanotide and marketed as Vyleesi, is the only FDA-approved peptide specifically designed to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal…

Nootropic

Selank

HUMAN TRIALS

Selank (TP-7) is a synthetic heptapeptide developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is a structural analog of the naturally occurring immunomodulatory…

Nootropic

Semax

HUMAN TRIALS

Semax (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) fragment ACTH(4-10). It was developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the…

GH Secretagogue

Sermorelin

FDA-APPROVED

Sermorelin holds a unique position in the peptide world: it is one of the few growth hormone secretagogues that actually achieved FDA approval, was used clinically for years, and then quietly…

Longevity

SS-31

HUMAN TRIALS

SS-31, known in clinical development as elamipretide and formerly as Bendavia and MTP-131, is the most clinically advanced mitochondrial-targeted peptide in existence. Unlike most peptides in the…

GH Secretagogue

Tesamorelin

FDA-APPROVED

Tesamorelin is the rare peptide that doesn't require you to extrapolate from rat studies or rely on anecdotal reports from internet forums. It has current FDA approval, robust Phase III clinical…

Immune

Thymosin Alpha 1

HUMAN TRIALS

Thymosin Alpha 1 (Ta1) is a 28-amino-acid peptide naturally produced by the thymus gland that serves as a critical regulator of immune system function. It is one of the most clinically validated…

Regenerative

BPC-157

ANIMAL STUDIES

BPC-157 is the most discussed regenerative peptide in the biohacking and functional medicine communities, and arguably the most overhyped compound relative to its actual evidence base. It has over…

GH Secretagogue

CJC-1295

HUMAN TRIALS

CJC-1295 is arguably the most popular growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog in the anti-aging and peptide therapy landscape, and also one of the most confusing. The confusion stems from a…

Regenerative

GHK-Cu

HUMAN TRIALS

GHK-Cu stands apart in the research peptide landscape for a reason that should matter enormously to anyone evaluating these compounds: it has actual human data. While the peptide world is dominated…

GH Secretagogue

Ipamorelin

HUMAN TRIALS

Ipamorelin has earned a reputation as the "cleanest" growth hormone secretagogue in the peptide therapy toolkit, and for once, a peptide's reputation is actually supported by its pharmacological…
