BPC-157
Body Protection Compound 157
Partial sequence of body protection compound derived from human gastric juice. Extensive research on tendon, muscle, and gut repair via multiple pathways.
Tirzepatide
GIP/GLP-1 Dual Agonist
Dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and GLP-1 receptor agonist. SURMOUNT trials demonstrated up to 22.5% body weight reduction.
Retatrutide
GIP/GLP-1/Glucagon Triple Agonist (GLP-3)
Triple hormone receptor agonist targeting GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors. Phase 2b showed ~24% body weight reduction at 48 weeks.
TB-500
Thymosin Beta-4 Fragment
Synthetic fragment of thymosin beta-4. Promotes actin upregulation, cell migration, and angiogenesis for tissue repair.
CJC-1295
Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone Analogue
GHRH analogue available with or without Drug Affinity Complex (DAC). Without DAC: short pulsatile release. With DAC: extended half-life of ~8 days.
Ipamorelin
Selective Growth Hormone Secretagogue
Selective GHRP with minimal cortisol and prolactin stimulation. Typically stacked with CJC-1295 for synergistic GH release.
Sermorelin
GHRH 1-29 Fragment
Synthetic analogue of endogenous GHRH containing the first 29 amino acids. Stimulates pituitary GH release via natural signaling pathways.
GHK-Cu
Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper
Naturally occurring copper peptide with demonstrated effects on wound healing, collagen synthesis, and stem cell activation.
PT-141
Bremelanotide
Melanocortin receptor agonist acting centrally on MC3R and MC4R. FDA-approved (Vyleesi) for hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
Epithalon
Epitalon Tetrapeptide
Synthetic tetrapeptide derived from epithalamin. Research focuses on telomere elongation and pineal gland regulation.
