Healing & Repair

5-Amino-1MQ A synthetic small molecule studied as an inhibitor of NNMT, an enzyme implicated in obesity and metabolic dysregulation, with additional research in aged muscle regeneration. View research notes → AOD-9604 AOD-9604 is a synthetic fragment of human growth hormone studied for its lipolytic and antilipogenic properties. Unlike intact hGH, it does not bind the GH receptor, which means researchers can examine its fat-metabolism effects in isolation. View research notes → ARA-290 (Cibinetide) ARA-290, also called cibinetide, is an eleven amino acid peptide derived from erythropoietin that binds the innate repair receptor without raising red blood cell counts. It is one of the few research peptides with registered, placebo-controlled human trials behind it, all of them small. View research notes → BPC-157 One of the most-studied peptides in the research community, BPC-157 has accumulated a substantial body of preclinical evidence across gut health, tissue repair, and wound healing. Here's what the published research actually shows. View research notes → CJC-1295 (with DAC) + Ipamorelin Two peptides that target different points in the growth hormone axis are frequently studied in combination. This page covers what the research actually shows for each. View research notes → FOXO4-DRI FOXO4-DRI is a synthetic senolytic peptide designed to disrupt the FOXO4-p53 interaction that keeps senescent (aged, damaged) cells alive. Research spans senescent-cell clearance, tissue aging, and longevity, almost entirely in animal and cell models. View research notes → GHK-Cu GHK-Cu is one of the most-studied peptides in skin aging and collagen research. Here is what the published evidence actually looks like. View research notes → GHK-Cu + Epithalon: Anti-Aging Research GHK-Cu and Epithalon address two distinct layers of the aging process. GHK-Cu has one of the largest in vitro evidence bases in skin and collagen research. Epithalon has been studied for telomere elongation and longevity at the cellular level. This page covers what the research actually shows for each compound and what they cost per milligram. View research notes → GLOW Blend (GHK-Cu + BPC-157 + TB-500) A pre-formulated research blend combining GHK-Cu, BPC-157, and TB-500 in a single vial. Here is what the research on each component looks like and what the published evidence actually shows. View research notes → IGF-1 LR3 IGF-1 LR3 is a synthetic analog of insulin-like growth factor-1, engineered to resist the binding proteins that limit native IGF-1's half-life. The research is entirely preclinical: animal models and cell culture. Here is a look at what that literature says. View research notes → Ipamorelin Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue studied for its ability to stimulate GH release without significant effects on cortisol or prolactin. Here is a look at the current research. View research notes → Is There a Peptide That Builds Muscle After 40? The ones sold for muscle don't do what the label suggests, and there's one situation where a peptide genuinely helps. Which is which depends on what you're actually trying to fix. Read → KLOW Blend (GHK-Cu + BPC-157 + TB-500 + KPV) A four-peptide research blend combining GHK-Cu, BPC-157, TB-500, and KPV in one vial. Here is what the published evidence looks like for each component and how KLOW differs from the three-peptide GLOW formulation. View research notes → KPV KPV is the small tripeptide fragment of alpha-MSH that researchers study for gut, skin, and general anti-inflammatory work. Here is what the published evidence actually looks like. View research notes → LL-37 The only cathelicidin-family antimicrobial peptide the human body makes, studied for its role in innate immune defense and wound healing. It is not a wellness or anti-aging peptide, and its own literature is explicit about the cytotoxicity that limits it. No vendor in our tracked set currently lists it. View research notes → MOTS-c A peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA, studied as a regulator of metabolic homeostasis and an exercise mimetic with potential relevance to aging and insulin sensitivity. View research notes → NAD+ vs. 5-Amino-1MQ, which one you actually want Both get sold in the energy aisle and they do almost nothing alike. One is a molecule you're running low on, the other blocks an enzyme that gets in the way, and that difference decides whether you take it every week or a few months a year. Read → SS-31 (Elamipretide) SS-31, also known as elamipretide or MTP-131, is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that homes to the inner mitochondrial membrane and stabilizes cardiolipin. Research spans cardiac aging, hypertensive cardiomyopathy, and skeletal muscle decline. View research notes → TB-500 TB-500 is a synthetic peptide fragment studied for tissue repair, wound healing, and cardiac regeneration. Here is what the published evidence looks like. View research notes → VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide) VIP is a twenty-eight amino acid peptide the body makes on its own, isolated from gut tissue in 1970. Its synthetic form is called aviptadil, and it has more real clinical trial data behind it than most research peptides. Nearly all of that data comes from routes and conditions that have nothing to do with what people buy it for. View research notes → Wolverine Blend (BPC-157 + TB-500) Wolverine is a pre-mixed blend of BPC-157 and TB-500 — the two most-studied tissue repair peptides in the research community. This page covers what each compound is, what researchers study them for, how their mechanisms differ, and what they cost per milligram. View research notes →
