A
Adipotide
Prohibitin-targeting peptidomimetic. Striking primate fat-loss data, and the renal toxicity that stopped it.
5-Amino-1MQ
Small-molecule NNMT inhibitor. Not a peptide, but it lives in the same catalogs and the same conversations.
AOD-9604
The hGH 176-191 fragment. Lipolytic signal without the growth-promoting part of the parent hormone.
Argireline
Acetyl hexapeptide-8. A topical SNARE-complex inhibitor marketed as a needle-free wrinkle treatment.
B
Bacteriostatic water
0.9% benzyl-alcohol water. The reconstitution diluent — and the single most-searched peptide accessory.
BPC-157
Pentadecapeptide from gastric juice. The most-cited tissue-repair compound in the field, and the one with the thinnest human evidence.
BPC-157 / TB-500 blend
The “Wolverine stack” in a single vial. Two repair mechanisms with no combination trial behind them.
C
Cagrilintide
Long-acting amylin analog. Interesting alone, far more interesting stacked with semaglutide as CagriSema.
Cartalax
Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro. The cartilage-directed Khavinson bioregulator.
CJC-1295
GHRH analog. The no-DAC form pulses; the DAC form doesn't — and that difference drives everything else.
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
GHRH analog plus selective secretagogue — the classic complementary-mechanism GH stack.
G
GHK-Cu
Copper tripeptide. The best-evidenced cosmetic peptide there is — and injectable and topical are not interchangeable.
GLOW blend
BPC-157 + TB-500 + GHK-Cu in one vial. Three well-studied constituents, zero trials on the combination.
Glutathione
The master intracellular antioxidant. Redox cycling is well established; the skin-lightening claim is not.
Gonadorelin
Synthetic GnRH. Pulsatile dosing stimulates the axis; continuous dosing shuts it down.
I
M
Matrixyl
Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4. The other cosmetic workhorse — a matrikine that signals collagen synthesis.
Mazdutide
GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist developed for the Chinese market. Strong Phase 3 weight data, narrow approval.
MOTS-c
Mitochondrial-derived peptide that activates AMPK. The closest thing the field has to an exercise mimetic.
P
S
Selank
Tuftsin-derived anxiolytic from the Russian school. GABAergic and BDNF effects without benzodiazepine sedation.
Semaglutide
The GLP-1 analog behind Ozempic and Wegovy — the molecule that started the metabolic-peptide boom.
Semax
ACTH(4-10) fragment. Raises BDNF; used in Russian stroke protocols, unapproved everywhere else.
Sermorelin
GHRH(1-29) — the original secretagogue. Discontinued as a drug, still everywhere as a research compound.
SS-31
Elamipretide. Binds cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane; has FDA orphan history in Barth syndrome.
Survodutide
Dual GLP-1/glucagon agonist in Phase 3. The glucagon arm is what separates it from tirzepatide.
T
TB-500
Synthetic thymosin β4 fragment. Actin-sequestering, and almost always discussed alongside BPC-157.
Tesamorelin
Stabilized GHRH analog, FDA-approved as Egrifta for HIV lipodystrophy — the rare peptide with a real label.
Testagen
Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly. Khavinson's testicular-tissue bioregulator.
Thymosin α-1
28-aa immunomodulator, approved in more than 30 countries as Zadaxin. One of the better-evidenced peptides here.
Tirzepatide
Dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist behind Mounjaro and Zepbound. Approved as a drug; sold separately as a research compound.
