Description
Modified GRF (1-29) Peptide
Modified GRF (1-29), or Mod GRF (1-29), is a synthetic peptide analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It was first developed in the 1980s when studies indicated that the first 29 amino acids of GHRH may possess all of the biological roles associated with the full-length 44 residue protein.[1] The initially designed peptide, known as GRF (1-29), is the shortest segment of GHRH, and appears to possess all the properties of the full-length hormone. A truncated synthetic form of GHRH known as Sermorelin, or GRF 1-29, also has 29 amino acids. Modified GRF (1-29) undergoes alteration to include four substituted amino groups in its chain.[2] The intention behind these amino modifications is to protect the peptide from both oxidation and degradation during manufacture. The modification also appears to increase the binding affinity to GHRH receptors. Modified GRF (1-29) is also known as Mod GRF, or Tetra-substituted GRF (1-29). The latter name clarifies that the modified peptide differs from GRF (1-29) as a result of changes in four of its amino acids. Modified GRF (1-29) is structurally identical to CJC-1295 without DAC.

Modified GRF (1-29) Research
Modified GRF 1-29 and Cardiac Function
Research in rodent models has suggested that modified GRF and other GHRH derivatives may improve the capacity of the heart to pump blood, even following cardiac dysfunction.[3] More specifically, the researchers comment that “Various studies [suggest] that GHRH agonists promote repair of cardiac tissue, producing improvement of ejection fraction and reduction of infarct size in rats, reduction of infarct scar in swine, and attenuation of cardiac hypertrophy in mice.”
Modified GRF 1-29 and Thyroid, Growth Hormone
Malfunctioning of the thyroid gland is often associated with concomitant issues in growth hormone release. Research studies have suggested that research models of hyperthyroidism under the influence of thyroid replacement hormone may demonstrate stronger reactions to GRF, providing a possible a link between thyroid hormone and growth hormone.[6] The scientists commented that “These data indicate that thyroid hormone […] enhances the responsiveness of the somatotroph to GRF 1-29.”
Modified GRF 1-29 and the Intestine
Research in monkeys suggested that Modified GRF 1-29 may bind with vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors to potentially improve bowel motility. Improved bowel movement is considered to be crucial in inflammatory bowel diseases. The peptide appears to interact with VIPC1, present on the smooth muscle of the reproductive, gastrointestinal as well as urinary systems.[4] [5] These conditions may potentially trigger a great deal of morbidity.

To my surprise, they’ll be able to ship it to my home country. Whenever I have a question, their CS is there and ready to answer all my questions. Customs were no problem, and it was all done safely.
jarod buckley –
The abundance of peptides is something I like. There aren’t many bells and whistles, but it’s simple enough for me to navigate.They appear to have deals going on all year long, and they’d even emailed me promotional coupons. Vials arrive in excellent shape and the items seem to be of high quality.
Vishnu Prasad –
Had an okay experience with them. I love their products, but I think they are the same as any other company.
Kendal Bacher –
Best prices I’ve found.

Raul Mancha jr –
Worth buying. Most other places have ridiculous prices but not here.
NJ Leon –
Been with them for a while and products don’t disappoint. What can though is the wait for restocks at times, can take just a bit too long.
Ric Cohen –
Everything you want from a good peptide supplier is here at biotech peptides.
Ash Abbot –
My order arrived one day late due to some post office mix-up and they sent me a coupon code for 15% off my next order via email.
Chase Burow –
This is my second time buying this and I am pretty sure not the last. Very good stuff
