Delta-sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) is an endogenous neuropeptide that was first isolated from rabbits by Monnier and associates in 1964. It helps to induce delta EEG sleep. It has a diverse influence on the central nervous system, regulates circadian rhythm, sleeping...

Melanotan I, also known as afamelanotide, is a synthetic melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH) that induces skin pigmentation through melanin production and melanogenesis. Melanin prevents damage to skin cells by absorbing, reflecting, and refracting light. Melanotan...

Studies on HGH have revealed that it might be the actual fountain of youth the world has been searching for. In the meanwhile, the hormone continues to provide the edge to the best of world athletes. Research has revealed that the appropriate use of peptides induces...

What is GHK-Cu? First identified in human plasma, GHK-Cu is a naturally prevalent copper complex in body fluids such as saliva and urine. Copper peptides are small, naturally occurring protein fragments with a high affinity for copper ions, critical to normal body...

What is a Peptide? A peptide is a biologically occurring chemical compound that consists of two or more amino acids connected via peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a covalent bond formed between two amino acids when a carboxyl group or C-terminus of one amino acid...

IGF-1 is the Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 or Somatomedin 1 and is naturally present in the blood. It is a polypeptide hormone that has structural similarity to Insulin. It is primarily synthesized in the liver, and its synthesis is managed by the pituitary secretion...

BPC-157 is a short peptide, a full-length protein known as body protection compound (BPC). BPC is a naturally occurring peptide and has been found to promote healing when used experimentally in animals. The peptide is known to be very crucial in the repair and healing...

Osteoporosis, which leads to an increase in bone fragility and vulnerability to fractures, is the most prevalent systemic skeletal system disease. The healing of fracture in osteoporotic patients is often delayed and compromised due to the microarchitectural...

Long-term peptides storage over several months and years demands proper refrigeration. The usual temperature is -80C (-112F) is the preferred temperature for storage. Freezing of peptides is optimal to preserve their stability and hence retain functional viability....

What is Joint Inflammation? In physiological terms, joints are meeting points of bones that allow for movement of the bones. Our body's six types of joints include saddle, hinge, ball and socket, condyloid, pivot, and glide. Its specific role in the body guides the...

Muscle pain is the cause of significant health concerns. Those suffering from it are aware of its debilitating effects and how it interferes with their way of life. Hence the focus of the following article is to discuss the cause(s) of muscle ache and various...

Sleep is important for numerous functions that the body and mind are required to partake in regularly. For instance, after a strenuous workout, the body recovers while we sleep. So, our body cannot recover properly if we get very little or restless sleep. How To...
