PEPTIDE LIBRARY

Peptide Profiles

Education-first profiles for the peptides and GLP-1s most commonly used in optimization protocols. Each profile covers mechanism, dosing patterns, and the biomarkers you should be tracking - in context of what your protocol is actually doing.

HEALING
BPC-157
Body Protection Compound-157
Synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide derived from human gastric juice, studied for tissue repair and gut healing.
30–60 minutes (systemic), with extended local tissue half-life
TB-500
Thymosin Beta-4 (TB-500)
Systemic cell-migration and tissue-repair peptide, most commonly stacked with BPC-157 for the "Wolverine" recovery protocol.
~hours systemic; localized effects persist longer
GROWTH
Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin (Egrifta)
FDA-approved GHRH analog with the strongest IGF-1 response of any peptide in its class.
~26 minutes
MK-677
MK-677 (Ibutamoren)
Oral, once-daily growth hormone secretagogue. Technically a small molecule, not a peptide - but lumped into the category for protocol purposes.
~24 hours
Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin
Selective GH secretagogue that pairs with CJC-1295 as the gold-standard gentle GH-pulse stack.
~2 hours
CJC-1295
CJC-1295 (no DAC)
Synthetic GHRH analog that pairs with Ipamorelin for synergistic GH-pulse amplification.
~30 minutes (no DAC); several days (with DAC)
Sermorelin
Sermorelin (GHRH 1-29)
Original GHRH analog - gentlest response in the GH secretagogue family, good entry point for beginners.
~10–20 minutes
HGH
Human Growth Hormone (Somatropin)
Exogenous recombinant GH - the direct-injection option vs the pulsatile secretagogue approach.
~2–3 hours
GLP-1
Semaglutide
Semaglutide (Ozempic / Wegovy)
FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist with the largest clinical evidence base for weight and glycemic outcomes.
~7 days
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro / Zepbound)
FDA-approved dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist with superior weight loss efficacy vs semaglutide in head-to-head data.
~5 days
Retatrutide
Retatrutide (LY-3437943)
Investigational triple agonist (GLP-1 / GIP / glucagon) with the largest weight-loss effect of any compound yet reported in its class.
~6 days
COSMETIC
GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)
Copper-binding tripeptide with systemic anti-inflammatory effects and the flagship peptide for skin, collagen, and wound healing.
~minutes in plasma; tissue effects persist much longer
SEXUAL HEALTH
PT-141
PT-141 (Bremelanotide)
Melanocortin receptor agonist - the only FDA-approved peptide for sexual arousal, marketed as Vyleesi.
~2 hours
ANTI-AGING
Epithalon
Epithalon (Epitalon)
Short tetrapeptide studied for telomere and pineal-axis effects in Russian longevity research.
~minutes in plasma; effects persist longer
MOTS-c
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA-c)
Mitochondrially-encoded peptide studied for metabolic and exercise-capacity effects.
Short; exact figures limited
IMMUNE
Thymosin Alpha-1
Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1)
Immune-modulating peptide with decades of clinical use in chronic infection and cancer-adjunct settings.
~2 hours
