Compound catalog
22 therapeutic peptides — mechanism, pharmacokinetics, dosing, safety, evidence grade, and cross-links to the modules that teach them.
Semaglutide
Weekly GLP-1 RA — pivotal A-grade evidence in T2D, obesity, and CVD risk reduction.
Tirzepatide
First dual incretin agonist — ~20% mean weight loss at 15 mg in obesity.
Liraglutide
Daily lipidated GLP-1 RA — first agent with CV outcome benefit (LEADER, 2016).
Retatrutide
Triagonist showing ~24% weight loss at 48 weeks in phase 2 — phase 3 ongoing.
Tesamorelin
Only FDA-approved GHRH analog — HIV-associated lipodystrophy.
Sermorelin
Truncated GHRH — historically FDA-approved (Geref, withdrawn 2008); now compounded.
Ipamorelin
Selective ghrelin-receptor agonist with minimal cortisol/prolactin effect — no human efficacy RCTs.
CJC-1295 (with/without DAC)
DAC variant binds albumin → multi-day half-life. Not FDA-approved; widely sold grey-market.
BPC-157
Strong rodent healing data, essentially zero controlled human trials. FDA Cat 2 (2023).
TB-500 (Thymosin β4 fragment)
Veterinary use exists; no FDA-approved human indication. Often co-marketed with BPC-157.
GHK-Cu
Modest A-grade evidence as a topical cosmeceutical; systemic 'anti-aging' claims are unsupported.
MOTS-c
Encoded by mitochondrial 12S rRNA — exciting biology, no human therapeutic data.
PT-141 (Bremelanotide)
FDA-approved for HSDD in premenopausal women; widely misused off-label for ED.
Melanotan II
Banned in multiple countries; serious AEs including melanoma transformation reports.
Oxytocin
Foundational obstetric peptide — induction, augmentation, postpartum hemorrhage.
Desmopressin (DDAVP)
V2-selective ADH analog — central DI, nocturnal enuresis, mild hemophilia A / vWD.
Leuprolide
Chemical castration via continuous GnRH agonism — prostate cancer, endometriosis, central precocious puberty, GAHT.
Octreotide
Workhorse somatostatin analog — acromegaly, NETs, variceal bleeding, refractory diarrhea.
Selank
Russian-origin nootropic — small non-blinded studies; not FDA-approved.
Semax
Sister Russian nootropic to Selank — same evidence caveats.
Epitalon (Epithalon)
Decades of Russian institutional research from a single group; no FDA approval, no independent RCTs.
Pinealon
Even thinner literature than Epitalon — almost entirely cell-culture and rodent from one group.
