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. 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.

Mod 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 the Intestine
Research in monkeys suggested thatthe peptide 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.
Mod 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.”

You get what you pay for. I had found antoher cheaper supplier but I think it was bunk. no effects whatsoever. The results were obvious with this product after ordering here/

The company I work for has researched a bunch of peptide companies over the years and as soon as BP came on the market, we gave it a shot and never switched suppliers again
Ken Eberle –
Retrun time is great. Had an issue with payment and put the wrong payment method. Taylor was the one I was emailing with, they were able to fix that right up for me.
Simon Cambell –
There’s some shitty quality stuff out there. Biotech’s peptides are not one of them.
Lin Teng –
This company makes it very easy to buy in bulk. We really appreciate that and the fact that you have amazing stock

Was recommended to them from an old classmate. Needed a new peptide spot as mine raised their prices. I love the effects it is having on my research. I also love how great their CS is as they know the products they’re selling.

The matto is excellent, and the company seems to constantly be looking out for the customer’s interests. The coupon codes they give out on a regular basis are fantastic! That is a bonus for me as well. Even when my purchase wasn’t very expensive, I noticed they would sometimes include a complimentary bottle of Bac water in the package.

When I called Danni, they were able to take my order for me. When I couldn’t figure out how to make the last payment, I decided to give them a call and see if I could get through to someone. I’m glad it wasn’t one of those computerized assistance systems.
Mike Ritter –
customer service and peptides are unmatched
Efren Maldonado –
Recomendé esta empresa a todos mis amigos.
Josh Engle –
My bacteriostatic water was missing from the package when it arrived, even though I met the minimum order, and when I reached out to them they apologized and sent me an express package with 2 bacteriostatic waters and one more vial of the peptide I ordered before.
Jake Davenport –
Best peptide company out there
Tomas Calland –
Like the blog updates every week! Nice, short, and to the point. Makes it easy to understand the peptide as well and what it’s best used for! Can find some good substitution options as well.
Dave Picard –
I once left a review saying I’d like to see more blends and here they are. I love that they take suggestions and make them happen. Big plus for me
Kenny Blazon –
I think their prices are just a bit on the high end, but I would recommend buying in batches
Rod Kirsch –
No DAC works better for what my research entails and I am very happy I have found a company that can supply this product in bulk with no issue
