Hexarelin Research

Hexarelin, also called Examorelin, is a synthetic analogue of ghrelin and is closely related to GHRP-6. In fact, hexarelin and GHRP-6 differ from each other only slightly thanks the addition of two methyl groups to GHRP-6. Hexarelin, like many ghrelin analogues, is orally and sublingually active and highly selective. Hexarelin has been heavily researched for its effects on heart cell survival following ischemia and nutrient deprivation.

GHRP-6 Research

GHRP-6 is an effective stimulator of natural Growth Hormone Release from the anterior pituitary. GHRP-6 is also a ghrelin/growth hormone receptor agonist and one of a handful of ghrelin analogues developed in the last several decades. It has been found to have positive effects on heart muscle cells, memory formation, scar formation, sex motivation, and the neurons involved in Parkinson’s disease. GHRP-6 is orally and sublingually active and moderately to highly selective.

GHRP-2 Research

GHRP-2 (a.k.a. pralmorelin) is a synthetic growth hormone secretagogue known to bind to the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor. It was the first of the growth hormone secretagogues to be introduced and is currently marketed as a test peptide for the assessment of growth hormone deficiency and secondary adrenal failure. GHRP-2 has been investigated in stage II clinical trials for the assessment of short stature and is under active research for its effects on appetite, muscle growth, the immune system, and sleep cycles. GHRP-2 is orally and sublingually active, so it does not have to be injected to have its effects.

HGH Fragment 176-191 Research

Fragment 176-191 is a small piece of human growth hormone that is sometimes referred to as the “lipolytic fragment.” Fragment 176-191 earned this latter name due to the fact that laboratory research has shown it to enhance fat burning, particularly in mice genetically engineered to produce large fat stores. Fragment 176-191 has been heavily researched in animal models because even while it preserves the fat-burning effects of hGH, it avoids some other effects of its parent protein such as increasing insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels, negatively impacting carbohydrate metabolism, altering insulin sensitivity, increasing long bone growth, and so forth. The targeted effects of fragment 176-191 make it useful for exploring human fat metabolism and may eventually provide the basis for developing anti-obesity medications.

Folllistatin 344 Research

Follistatin (FST) 344 is a synthetic version of the naturally occurring human follistatin protein. Follistatin is found in nearly all tissues of higher animals and comes in two separate isoforms as a result of alternative gene splicing. Its primary biological function is neutralization of proteins in the TGF-beta superfamily. It has particularly potent neutralizing effects on activin, myostatin, and follicle-stimulating hormone.

Epitalon Research

Rat studies have shown benefit for premature aging when epithalon was combined with melatonin. Specifically the Russian scientists Korenevsky, et al, studied estrogen cycles in young, mature, and aging female rats in light polluted environments (eg, little darkness, which is typically necessary for melatonin production). Using a combination of epithalon and melatonin they were able to stabilize and correct a variety of impairments of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, which specifically overcame adverse environmental influences. [2] This is particularly important to consider given the urban human environment, as some studies have shown light pollution to increase cancer risks. [3, 4, 5]

DSIP Research

Delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) is a short peptide of natural origin. It gains its name from its ability to cause sleep in rabbits and from the fact that it was first isolated in 1977 from the brains of rats during slow-wave sleep. The peptide, however, has a number of physiologic and endocrine roles that are slowly being uncovered as it gains interest among researchers. Right now, it is known that DSIP can alter corticotropin levels, inhibit somatostatin secretion, limit stress, normalize blood pressure, alter sleep patterns, and alter pain perception. It may also have future applications in cancer treatment, depression, and the prevention of free radical damage.

CJC-1295 DAC Research

Growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) has been modified a number of times to produce analogues that preserve some of the hormone’s effects while eliminating others. One of those modifications, CJC-1295, consists of just the first 29 amino acids of GHRH. This analogue of GHRH, which is technically a maleimido derivative of hGRF(1-29), was created in an effort to produce a more soluble GH secretagogue that is easier to produce in large quantities but still preserves the physiologic actions of GHRH.

BPC 157 Research

BPC-157, short for Body Protection Compound-157, is a derivative of body protection compound (BPC). BPC is a protein found naturally in the human digestive tract. It plays a significant role in protecting the lining of the gastrointestinal tract from damage, promoting healing, and encouraging blood vessel growth.

Synthetic BPC-157, a pentadecapeptide comprising 15 amino acids isolated from the much larger BPC protein, has been found to retain many of the healing properties of its parent molecule. In particular, BPC-157 has been shown to have effects on:

  • Wound healing
  • Blood vessel growth
  • The coagulation cascade
  • Nitric oxide generation
  • Immune system function
  • Gene expression
  • Hormone regulation (particularly in the gastrointestinal nervous system)

AOD9604 Research

AOD9604 is a modified version of fragment 176-191, which is itself a smaller, modified piece of human growth hormone. AOD9604 was originally developed as an anti-obesity drug due to its lipolytic (fat burning) properties. This peptide is valued for the fact that it has limited effects beyond fat burning. It does not appear to affect IGF-1 levels or insulin levels and therefore is not a risk factor in promoting glucose intolerance or diabetes[1]. There is also no evidence that the body forms antibodies against AOD9604 as it is similar enough in structure to HGH to avoid stimulating an immune system response[2].
