The CJC-1295 & GHRP-6 blend is believed to work synergistically to stimulate the increase of growth hormone (GH). There is speculation that the increase in GH levels due to this blend might be higher than using either of these peptides alone, as well as initiate downstream action, as in the case of GHRP-6, which is...

BPC-157 Peptide Overview BPC-157 is a peptide sequence of 15 amino acids derived from gastric juice. The mechanism by which pentadecapeptide BPC-157 has been suggested to impact tissues is not clearly understood. Research suggests that the peptide may exert a repairing action in tissues. The peptide may exert upregulating growth factors, proangiogenic characteristics, and nitric oxide...

What is Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP)? Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP) belongs to a class of peptides called the neuropeptides. Neuropeptides are short sequence peptide chains produced by neurons that play a role as chemical messengers in various biochemical pathways. The Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide is considered to be a potent vasodilator, by researchers studying the action of...

What Is Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+)? Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide or NAD+ is a coenzyme found central to almost all types of anabolic and catabolic biochemical reactions. It is present in cells and was first discovered by Sir Arthur Harden in a boiled yeast extract. The structure of NAD+, as indicated by its name, consists of...

What Is Adipotide (FTPP)? Adipotide, also known as Prohibitin-TP01 and abbreviated as FTPP, is a synthetically made proapoptotic peptide with a unique function, potentially targeting and affecting various types of fat cells. Speculative research suggests that Adipotide might aim to reduce the number of fat cells by impacting the blood supply to adipocytes. It is...

Semaglutide, aka GLP-1: What is it? Semaglutide or GLP-1 is a naturally occurring peptide suggested to lower blood sugar levels, modulating insulin production and release. It is a 30-31 amino acid sequence short peptide. The primary function of Semaglutide (GLP-1) appears to be to regulate blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin secretion. Semaglutide appears to upregulate...

What Is Syn-AKE Peptide? The Syn-AKE peptide is a synthetic analog of the protein Waglerin-1. It is a 21 amino acid protein isolated from tropidolaemus wagleri. However, Syn-AKE includes only three of the amino acids which are present in the original endogenous sequence. It represents the perceived active portion of the protein and appears to...

What is Semaglutide Peptide? Semaglutide, or the Glucagon-like Peptide (GLP-1), is a naturally-occurring peptide hormone. It is a very short peptide of about 30 or 31 peptides only. The natural function of the endogenous peptide is proposed to be the regulation of blood glucose levels at an average value by interfering with natural insulin production...

AICAR, an acronym for 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside, poses as a short-sequence peptide. Researchers suggest that it functions as an AMP kinase (AMPK) activator, playing a potential role in metabolic pathways and energy homeostasis. The AICAR peptide may be involved in the regulation of insulin receptors and the control of muscle cell responses to insulin.   AICAR's...
