What each one is, and where it's studied
BPC-157
Recovery

A pentadecapeptide first found in gastric juice — one of the most-studied compounds in tissue-repair research, across tendon, ligament, and gut models.

TB-500
Recovery

The research form of thymosin β-4, a 43-amino-acid peptide found in nearly every cell. The classic partner to BPC-157 — studied for wound healing, blood-vessel formation, and tissue remodeling.

KPV
Gut & skin

The active C-terminal fragment of α-MSH, researched for its anti-inflammatory signaling across the gut, skin, and immune system.

BPC-157 · TB-500 · GHK-Cu · KPV
Recovery

A repair-oriented blend pairing tissue-repair, anti-inflammatory, and skin peptides — each studied for complementary roles in recovery and regeneration.

GHK-Cu · TB-500 · BPC-157
Recovery & skin

A recovery-and-skin blend that combines a collagen-supporting peptide with two of the most-researched tissue-repair compounds.

GHK-Cu
Skin

A copper-binding tripeptide and a mainstay of advanced skincare, researched for its role in collagen synthesis, skin firmness, and tissue regeneration.

Sermorelin
Growth hormone

A GHRH analog that signals the pituitary to release the body's own growth hormone — a long-standing tool in growth-hormone and recovery research.

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
Growth hormone

A two-peptide pairing — a GHRH analog plus a selective secretagogue — studied together to prompt a fuller, more natural release of the body's own growth hormone.

Tesamorelin
Body composition

A stabilized, FDA-approved GHRH analog, recognized in clinical use for reducing visceral (deep abdominal) fat, with ongoing interest in metabolic health.

GLP-1 (semaglutide & tirzepatide)
Metabolic

The peptides behind Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, engineered to mimic the gut hormone GLP-1 — the most clinically validated peptides for glycemic control and weight, backed by large randomized trials.

Retatrutide
Metabolic

An investigational "triple agonist" acting on the GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors at once — reported in late-stage trials with some of the largest weight-reduction figures yet seen in the class.

MOTS-c
Metabolic

A peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA. A focus of metabolic research as an "exercise-mimetic" signal tied to energy use and insulin sensitivity.

NAD+
Cellular energy

A coenzyme central to cellular energy and DNA repair. Its decline with age — and the precursors that restore it (NMN, NR) — anchor modern longevity research.

Epitalon
Longevity

A four-amino-acid peptide from Russian gerontology, proposed to activate telomerase — the enzyme that maintains the protective caps on our chromosomes. A long-standing focus of longevity research.

SS-31
Mitochondrial

Also known as elamipretide, a peptide that targets cardiolipin in the mitochondrial membrane — studied in mitochondrial medicine and FDA-approved for a rare genetic disease.

Semax
Focus

A peptide derived from ACTH, developed in Russia and used there in neurology — studied for focus, memory, and neuroprotection via BDNF.

Selank
Calm

A peptide based on the immune fragment tuftsin, developed in Russia as an anxiolytic — researched for calm, mood, and stress resilience.

PT-141 (bremelanotide)
Sexual health

A melanocortin peptide that works through the nervous system rather than blood flow. FDA-approved as Vyleesi, and researched for desire and arousal.
