Regenerative & Recovery
5 options
BPC-157
Body Protection Compound 157 · 15 amino acid healing peptide
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
BPC-157 is derived from a protein found naturally in human gastric juice. It promotes the growth of new blood vessels, reduces inflammation, and accelerates repair across multiple tissue types — tendons, ligaments, muscles, the gut lining, and nerves. It is one of the most researched healing peptides in preclinical settings and is popular for sports recovery, chronic injuries, and gut health support.
What to expect
Faster tendon, ligament, and muscle repair
Reduced joint pain and inflammation
Gut lining repair and digestive health support
Improved recovery from injury or surgery
TB-500
Thymosin Beta-4 Fragment · Tβ4(17–23)
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
TB-500 is a fragment of Thymosin Beta-4, a protein your body produces naturally to support tissue repair and regeneration. While BPC-157 works locally at the site of injury, TB-500 works more systemically — promoting cell migration, new blood vessel formation, and healing throughout the body. The two are often combined for a more comprehensive recovery effect.
What to expect
Systemic tissue repair and regeneration support
Improved flexibility and range of motion
Faster recovery from overtraining or injury
Reduced muscle soreness and inflammation
Wolverine Blend
BPC-157 + TB-500 · Signature recovery stack
Signature BlendWhat it is & how it works
The Wolverine Blend combines two of the most studied healing peptides into one preparation. BPC-157 targets the injury site directly while TB-500 supports systemic repair and mobility throughout the body — together they cover more ground than either peptide alone. A popular choice for athletes, post-surgical recovery, and chronic injury management.
What’s inside
BPC-157
Local tissue repair, gut healing, anti-inflammatory action at the injury site
TB-500
Systemic regeneration, improved flexibility, broader healing signaling body-wide
What to expect
Local and systemic repair in one preparation
Fewer injections than running both separately
Popular for athletic and post-surgical recovery
Commonly used for chronic, stubborn injuries
Typical use: Not for use in athletes subject to WADA or USADA testing. Provider supervision required.
PDA
Pentadeca Arginate · Stabilized BPC-157 analogue
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
PDA is a modified version of the BPC-157 sequence, bound to arginate rather than acetate. That change is intended to improve stability and shelf life while preserving the same repair-focused activity. It is studied for the same range of uses as BPC-157 — tendon, ligament, and gut tissue repair, blood vessel formation, and inflammation control — and is often chosen as a more stable alternative.
What to expect
Tissue and tendon repair support, similar to BPC-157
Gut lining and digestive comfort support
Improved compound stability over standard BPC-157
Often selected as a direct BPC-157 alternative
Typical use: Typically dosed daily across a 4–8 week cycle, then reassessed. Frequently used in place of BPC-157 rather than alongside it.
Ara-290
Cibinetide · Innate repair receptor peptide
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
Ara-290 is an eleven–amino acid peptide derived from erythropoietin, but engineered to remove the blood-cell-stimulating effect entirely. What remains is activity at what researchers call the innate repair receptor — a pathway involved in calming inflammation and supporting nerve and tissue repair. It has been studied most closely in small-fiber neuropathy and neuropathic pain.
What to expect
Research interest in small-fiber and neuropathic pain
Anti-inflammatory activity without raising red blood cells
Nerve and tissue repair support
Studied in metabolic and autoimmune-related nerve conditions
Typical use: Usually dosed daily across a 2–4 week cycle. Because it targets nerve-related pathways, response is assessed over weeks rather than days.

Hormone Optimization
5 options
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
GHRH Analogue + GHRP · Synergistic combination
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
This is a two-peptide combination that works through complementary pathways. CJC-1295 keeps your pituitary primed and ready to release growth hormone. Ipamorelin then triggers strong GH pulses — without raising cortisol or prolactin the way older GH peptides did. Together they produce significantly more GH release than either peptide alone, making this one of the most popular combinations for body composition and recovery.
What to expect
Increased growth hormone and IGF-1 levels
Improved body composition, muscle tone, and fat reduction
Better sleep, recovery, and daily energy
Fewer side effects than older GH-releasing peptides
Sermorelin Acetate
GHRH 1–29 · Geref® (discontinued brand) · Nightly injection
Compounded (previously FDA-approved)What it is & how it works
Sermorelin is the first 29 amino acids of the natural growth hormone-releasing hormone your body produces. It gently stimulates your pituitary to release GH in the same natural pulsing rhythm your body uses — preserving the feedback loop rather than overriding it. It is taken nightly because most natural GH release happens during deep sleep. Previously FDA-approved; now available through compounding pharmacies.
What to expect
Deeper, more restorative sleep within the first few weeks
Gradual improvements in body composition over 3–6 months
Increased energy and exercise recovery
Gentler GH stimulation than synthetic HGH
Tesamorelin
Egrifta SV® · GHRH Analogue · Most clinically validated GH peptide
FDA Approved (limited indication)What it is & how it works
Tesamorelin is a synthetic version of the hormone your brain naturally uses to signal growth hormone release. It stimulates your pituitary gland to produce more of your own natural growth hormone — rather than replacing it artificially. It is FDA-approved for visceral fat reduction in a specific population and is the most clinically studied GH-releasing peptide available.
What to expect
Significant reduction in visceral (belly) fat
Improved body composition and lean muscle
Elevated IGF-1 — a key marker of GH activity
Better sleep quality and recovery
Hexarelin
Growth hormone releasing peptide · Ghrelin receptor agonist
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
Hexarelin is one of the more potent growth hormone secretagogues in the GHRP family. It binds the same receptor as ghrelin, prompting a strong pulse of growth hormone release, and has also drawn research interest for effects on cardiac tissue. Because potency comes with a tendency toward receptor desensitization, it is generally used in defined cycles rather than continuously.
What to expect
Strong growth hormone release per dose
Appetite and recovery support
Research interest in cardiac tissue protection
Used in defined cycles to limit desensitization
Typical use: Best used in shorter, structured cycles with breaks between them. May modestly raise cortisol and prolactin at higher doses — your provider will set dosing accordingly.
MK-677
Ibutamoren · Oral growth hormone secretagogue
Oral · Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
MK-677 is taken by mouth rather than injected, and is technically a small molecule rather than a peptide — but it works on the same ghrelin receptor pathway that injectable GH secretagogues target. It raises growth hormone and IGF-1 levels over a sustained period rather than in sharp pulses, and is studied for effects on sleep quality, appetite, lean mass, and bone density.
What to expect
Sustained increase in GH and IGF-1 without injections
Notable improvement in deep sleep for many people
Increased appetite — helpful or unwanted depending on goals
Once-daily oral dosing, usually in the evening
Typical use: Appetite increase and mild water retention are common and expected. Because it can affect insulin sensitivity and blood sugar, baseline and follow-up labs are required, and it is generally not combined with GLP-1 weight loss protocols.

Levels naturally decline with age and are lower in people with obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
What to expect
Improved insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation
Enhanced physical performance and endurance
Reduced age-related metabolic decline
Anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective support
Typical use: Commonly dosed 2–3 times weekly across the vial, sometimes paired with metabolic or GLP-1 protocols.
IGF-1 LR3
Long R3 Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
IGF-1 is one of the body’s primary drivers of tissue growth and repair, produced naturally in response to growth hormone. The LR3 version is a modified, longer-acting form designed to stay active in the body longer. It supports muscle protein synthesis, cellular repair, and recovery. Because it directly influences growth pathways, it is used carefully and always with appropriate baseline lab work.
What to expect
Support for lean muscle development
Enhanced recovery and tissue repair
Body-composition support alongside training
Requires baseline labs and monitoring
Typical use: Must be taken with appropriate food timing to support stable blood sugar. Your provider will review baseline labs before starting and will set the cycle length.
AOD-9604
Anti-Obesity Drug 9604 · Growth hormone fragment (176–191)
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
AOD-9604 is a small fragment of the growth hormone molecule — specifically the portion responsible for stimulating fat breakdown. Unlike full growth hormone, it is designed to encourage the body to release stored fat and support metabolism without significantly affecting blood sugar or the growth-promoting effects of GH. It was originally developed and studied as a targeted anti-obesity compound.
What to expect
Support for fat metabolism, especially stubborn areas
Targeted approach to body composition
Does not typically raise blood sugar or IGF-1
Best paired with nutrition and activity
Typical use: Typically dosed daily, often five days on and two off. Works best alongside a structured nutrition and movement plan.

Epithalon
Epitalon · Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly · Telomerase-activating tetrapeptide
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
Epithalon is a four–amino acid peptide studied for its effects on telomeres — the protective caps on the ends of your DNA that naturally shorten as cells divide and age. Research suggests it may support the activity of telomerase, the enzyme that maintains telomere length, while also helping regulate melatonin and circadian rhythm through its effect on the pineal gland.
What to expect
Support for healthy cellular aging pathways
Melatonin regulation and improved sleep-wake cycles
Antioxidant and immune-support properties
Often used as part of a broader longevity protocol
Typical use: Administered in concentrated short cycles, often repeated once or twice per year rather than taken continuously.
6
Immune, Recovery & Hormonal
5 options
KPV
Lys-Pro-Val · Alpha-MSH tripeptide fragment
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
KPV is a small three–amino acid fragment of alpha-MSH, one of the body’s natural anti-inflammatory signaling molecules. It is studied for its ability to calm inflammatory pathways, particularly in the gut lining and skin. Because it is a small, stable peptide, it can be effective when taken orally — making it especially useful for digestive and gut-focused support.
What to expect
Support for gut lining and digestive comfort
Calming of inflammatory pathways
Skin-inflammation and healing support
Can be taken orally or by injection
Typical use: Commonly used daily, especially for gut-focused protocols, then reassessed.
LL-37
Cathelicidin · Human antimicrobial peptide
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
LL-37 is a naturally occurring peptide and a key part of the body’s innate immune defense. It has broad antimicrobial properties and also plays a role in coordinating immune responses and supporting wound healing. In research settings it is explored for immune resilience, difficult or recurrent infections, and skin and tissue repair.
What to expect
Support for innate immune defense
Research interest in recurrent infections
Wound-healing and skin support
Used with care in inflammatory conditions
Typical use: Mild flu-like effects can occur early as the immune system responds. Your provider will tailor dosing and duration.
Kisspeptin
Kisspeptin-10 · Master regulator of the hormonal axis
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
Kisspeptin is often called the master switch of the body’s reproductive hormone system. It signals the brain to begin the cascade that leads to natural production of LH, FSH, and ultimately testosterone or estrogen. It is studied for supporting healthy hormonal signaling, libido, and fertility in both men and women — and for helping restart the natural hormonal axis when it has been suppressed.
What to expect
Support for natural hormonal signaling
Libido and sexual-health support
Fertility research interest in men and women
Support for restoring a suppressed hormonal axis
Typical use: Usually dosed in a pulsed pattern rather than daily, to work with the body’s natural rhythm.
Thymosin Alpha-1
Tα1 · Thymus-derived immune modulating peptide
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a 28–amino acid peptide originally isolated from the thymus, the gland responsible for training your immune system’s T cells. Rather than broadly stimulating immunity, it is studied as a modulator — helping the immune response become better coordinated. It has been used clinically outside the United States in hepatitis and immune-deficiency settings and has one of the longer safety records among immune peptides.
What to expect
Immune modulation rather than blunt stimulation
T-cell maturation and function support
Research interest in chronic and recurrent infection
Well-tolerated in most people at standard dosing
Typical use: Often dosed two to three times weekly. Frequently chosen for people whose immune response seems dysregulated rather than simply weak.
Thymalin
Thymus peptide bioregulator · Immune restoration
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
Thymalin is a thymus-derived peptide preparation studied as an immune bioregulator — meaning it is investigated for its ability to bring immune function back toward balance rather than simply raising or lowering it. Much of the existing research comes from long-running work on peptide bioregulators in older adults, where age-related decline in thymus function is a central concern.
What to expect
Immune regulation and rebalancing support
Research interest in age-related immune decline
Recovery support during periods of high stress
Typically used in short, repeated cycles
Typical use: Usually given in short courses that may be repeated periodically rather than run continuously.

A clean, non-stimulant style of focus
Typical use: Often used in the morning, by injection or intranasal spray. Pairs commonly with Selank for a focus-plus-calm approach.
DSIP
Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
DSIP is a naturally occurring peptide that helps regulate sleep and the body’s stress response. It is studied for its role in supporting deeper, more restful sleep and helping normalize circadian rhythm — the body’s internal clock. It is also researched for its effects on the stress-hormone axis, making it of interest to people whose sleep is disrupted by an over-active stress response.
What to expect
Support for deeper, higher-quality sleep
Circadian rhythm normalization
Calming of the stress response
Support for recovery and resilience
Typical use: Typically dosed in the evening, shortly before bed, several times weekly.
Pinealon
Glu-Asp-Arg · Short peptide bioregulator
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
Pinealon is a three–amino acid bioregulator studied for effects on brain tissue. Peptides this short are small enough to enter cells directly, and research on this family focuses on how they may influence gene expression in the tissue they target. Pinealon is investigated for neuroprotection, cognitive function, and resilience of brain cells under oxidative stress.
What to expect
Neuroprotection and cognitive support
Research interest in resilience under oxidative stress
Studied alongside Epithalon in longevity protocols

Spadin analogue · TREK-1 channel modulator
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
PE-22-28 is a synthetic analogue of spadin, a naturally occurring peptide fragment. It is studied for its action on a potassium channel called TREK-1, which has become a target of interest in mood research. Unlike conventional antidepressants that work over weeks, compounds acting on this pathway are investigated for faster onset alongside support for the growth of new neural connections.
What to expect
Mood support research at the TREK-1 pathway
Investigated for faster onset than conventional approaches
Neuroplasticity and new neural connection support
An early-stage research compound
Typical use: Used in short, defined cycles. This is an emerging compound with limited human data, and it is not a substitute for psychiatric care or prescribed antidepressant medication.
Dihexa
N-hexanoic-Tyr-Ile-(6) aminohexanoic amide · Angiotensin IV derivative
Research / CompoundedWhat it is & how it works
Dihexa is a small molecule derived from angiotensin IV, studied for its effect on hepatocyte growth factor and its c-Met receptor — a pathway involved in forming new synapses between neurons. Preclinical work has focused on synaptogenesis and cognitive performance. It is among the most experimental compounds on this menu, with essentially no published human trial data.
What to expect
Studied for synapse formation and cognition
BDNF and neural growth pathway interest
Among the most potent compounds in preclinical models
Highly experimental — very limited human data
Typical use: Used only in short, closely supervised cycles. Because human safety data is minimal and the growth pathways involved are broad, this is offered only after a thorough consultation to determine appropriateness.

Sexual Health
1 option
PT-141
Bremelanotide · Vyleesi® (FDA-approved for women)
FDA Approved (women) · Off-label (men)What it is & how it works
PT-141 works differently from medications like Viagra or Cialis — it does not target blood flow. Instead it activates specific receptors in the brain that are directly involved in sexual desire and arousal. This makes it effective for both men and women, and for cases where low libido is the primary issue rather than physical function. FDA-approved as Vyleesi® for women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder; used off-label for men.
What to expect
Enhanced sexual desire and arousal in both men and women
Works on brain chemistry — effective regardless of blood flow
Can help when hormonal or psychological factors are involved
Used as-needed rather than daily
Typical use: Taken 30–60 minutes before activity. Nausea and facial flushing are the most common effects and usually lessen with repeated use.
