Peptides demystified

They are easier than you think

Started in the last century

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist originally developed for type 2 diabetes and obesity treatment. It mimics the incretin hormone GLP-1 to reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying, and improve insulin sensitivity—helping users regulate food intake and stabilize blood sugar.

Effective Weight Loss.

Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist designed to regulate blood sugar and appetite. It enhances insulin secretion, reduces glucagon, slows gastric emptying, and significantly lowers food noise. This dual mechanism makes it highly effective for fat loss, glycemic control, and metabolic reset—often with faster or more dramatic results than Semaglutide.

Triple Agonist Targeting GLP-1, GIP, and Glucagon.

Retatrutide is a next-generation triple agonist peptide that activates GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors—simultaneously reducing appetite, improving insulin sensitivity, and increasing fat oxidation. Early studies show it may be the most potent incretin-based compound for weight loss and metabolic syndrome reversal, outperforming both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide in clinical trials.

The Silent Fat Burner.

AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (hGH), specifically the 176–191 amino acid sequence, that stimulates fat breakdown without raising IGF-1 levels or triggering muscle growth. It acts primarily on lipolysis pathways, enhancing fat oxidation, especially visceral and stubborn fat, with minimal systemic impact.

Synergistic Satiety via Amylin Mimicry.

Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analog designed to mimic the effects of the naturally occurring hormone amylin, which is co-secreted with insulin by pancreatic beta cells. It complements GLP-1 agonists by enhancing satiety, delaying gastric emptying, and reducing food reward behavior—making it a powerful addition in combination therapies for fat loss and appetite regulation.

Unlock growth hormone.

CJC-1295 without DAC is a short-acting GHRH analog that stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete growth hormone in a pulsatile manner. It mimics the body’s natural rhythm and is ideal for stacking with GHRPs like Ipamorelin for enhanced GH release.

Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHRP) that stimulates GH release via the ghrelin receptor (GHSR) without significant increases in cortisol or prolactin. It is often favored for its mild profile and versatility when stacked with GHRH analogs like CJC-1295. Ideal for fat loss, recovery, and muscle support.

Tesamorelin is a synthetic analog of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH). It stimulates the pituitary gland to increase natural GH production. It is particularly effective for reducing visceral fat, improving sleep quality, and enhancing metabolic and hormonal rhythms.

Supports GH Pulsation and Anti-Aging Hormonal Rhythms.

Sermorelin is a synthetic analog of GHRH (Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone) that stimulates the pituitary to release endogenous GH. It mimics the body’s natural GH rhythm, making it effective for anti-aging, sleep quality, and muscle preservation. Often used by aging individuals or those with low GH production seeking natural stimulation without suppression.

Potent GH Stimulator for Short-Term Use & Recovery.

Hexarelin is a powerful GHRP (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide) known for its strong stimulation of GH release through the ghrelin receptor. It is highly effective for short-term muscle recovery, fat loss, and tissue repair but may lead to desensitization with long-term use. Best suited for advanced users or periodic GH pulse intensification.

Enhances Muscle Growth, Repair, and Nutrient Uptake.

IGF-1 LR3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Long Arg3) is a synthetic version of IGF-1 with a longer half-life, making it more potent and bioavailable. It plays a key role in muscle hypertrophy, recovery, and nutrient shuttling. Unlike GH-releasing peptides, IGF-1 LR3 acts downstream of GH and is typically used for direct anabolic effects.

Promotes Muscle Growth by Blocking Myostatin.

Follistatin is a protein-based peptide that inhibits myostatin — a growth factor that limits muscle growth. By blocking myostatin, Follistatin promotes increased muscle mass, strength, and lean body composition. It's typically used in short, high-impact cycles due to its powerful anabolic effects and less research-supported long-term safety profile.

BPC-157 (body protection compound) is a gastric stable 15 amino acid peptide naturally occurring and isolated from human gastric juice. Among research circles and anecdotal reports from peptide enthusiasts, it’s magic lies in the ability to decrease inflammation and pain, increase the body’s natural healing and repair processes by increasing blood flow to the injury site, cell turnover and migration and substrates for healing.

MOTS-C is a unique, mitochondria-encoded peptide that enhances energy regulation and cellular resilience by activating AMPK. It does this by mimicking energy stress in a controlled way, prompting the body to adapt — improving fat burning, glucose uptake, mitochondrial biogenesis, and insulin sensitivity. Unlike peptides that push energy production, MOTS-C helps the body make smarter energy decisions.

Immunity supercharger.

Thymosin alpha 1 (Tα1) is 28 amino acid peptide derived from the thymus gland. It has been shown to be a potent immune modulator and has gained significant attention in immunological research due to its wide range of activities, including antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antitumor properties. Tα1 is approved for clinical use in several countries, particularly for treating chronic hepatitis B and C, and as an adjuvant therapy in immune-compromised states.

SS-31 is a mitochondrial-protective peptide that targets cardiolipin — a key lipid that maintains mitochondrial structure and ATP production. Unlike MOTS-C, which boosts energy regulation, SS-31 acts like armor, stabilizing the mitochondrial membrane and reducing oxidative stress.

By protecting cardiolipin, SS-31 supports energy efficiency, resilience, and cellular longevity — making it especially valuable for aging adults, athletes, and those seeking recovery or performance gains.

NAD⁺ is a vital coenzyme — not a peptide — but central to mitochondrial health. It fuels ATP production, supports DNA repair, and activates sirtuins, the “longevity genes” tied to inflammation control and cellular resilience. As we age, NAD⁺ levels decline, reducing energy, recovery, and repair capacity.

TB-500 is a synthetic version of Thymosin Beta-4, a natural peptide found throughout the body that supports tissue repair, cell migration, and structural regeneration. While BPC-157 focuses on blood flow and inflammation, TB-500 works deeper — stabilizing the actin cytoskeleton, which helps repair cells move efficiently and rebuild damaged tissue.

LL-37 is a powerful innate immune peptide — your body’s natural frontline defender. Unlike adaptive immune peptides, LL-37 acts fast and broadly, directly killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi by punching holes in their membranes. It also modulates inflammation, recruits immune cells, and supports wound healing by stimulating fibroblast and epithelial repair.

L-Glutathione is your body’s master antioxidant and detoxifier — a tripeptide made from glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. It protects cells from oxidative stress, supports immune and liver function, and maintains redox balance, which is essential for healthy aging and inflammation control.
