What is MK-677 (Ibutamoren)?
MK-677 (Ibutamoren) explained: the oral ghrelin-mimetic that raised GH and IGF-1 in human trials, and the honest catch on appetite, edema and failed endpoints.
Human clinical dataCompound overviews5 minWhat is GHRP-6?
GHRP-6 explained: a ghrelin-mimetic hexapeptide that triggers a growth-hormone pulse and a sharp hunger signal, with human GH data but mostly preclinical uses.
Human clinical dataCompound overviews4 minWhat is GHRP-2 (Pralmorelin)?
GHRP-2 (Pralmorelin) explained: a ghrelin-mimetic that provokes a growth-hormone pulse — the only GHRP approved anywhere, as a diagnostic test in Japan.
Human clinical dataCompound overviews6 minWhat is PT-141 (Bremelanotide)?
PT-141 (bremelanotide) explained from the primary literature: its melanocortin (MC4R) brain mechanism, the phase-3 HSDD trials, and its FDA-approved status.
Approved medicineCompound overviews6 minWhat is Melanotan II?
Melanotan II explained honestly: how this unapproved melanocortin agonist works, and the melanoma, priapism, and nausea signals documented in case reports.
PreclinicalCompound overviews4 minWhat is Cagrilintide?
Cagrilintide explained with the human data: a once-weekly amylin analog, how it curbs appetite through the brainstem, and what the CagriSema REDEFINE phase-3 trial actually showed.
Human clinical dataCompound overviews5 minWhat is AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 explained honestly: the modified growth-hormone fragment marketed for fat loss, its beta-3 lipolysis mechanism in mice, and why its largest human obesity trial missed its primary endpoint.
Human clinical dataCompound overviews5 minWhat is HGH Fragment 176-191?
HGH Fragment 176-191 explained honestly: the tail-end piece of growth hormone marketed as a fat-loss peptide, its lipolysis mechanism in animals, and why the human evidence is essentially absent.
PreclinicalCompound overviews6 minWhat is Semax?
Semax explained: the Russian ACTH(4-10) nootropic peptide that raises BDNF, studied intranasally for stroke — and why nearly all its human data is Russian.
Human clinical dataCompound overviews6 minWhat is Selank?
Selank explained: the Russian tuftsin-analog anxiolytic peptide that modulates GABA and serotonin — and why its human evidence is small and mostly Russian.
Human clinical dataCompound overviews5 minWhat is Epithalon (Epitalon)?
Epithalon (Epitalon) explained honestly: the synthetic pineal tetrapeptide studied for telomerase and longevity, and why nearly all its evidence is preclinical and from one Russian group.
PreclinicalCompound overviews4 minWhat is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c explained with the science: a mitochondrial-derived peptide studied as an exercise mimetic for metabolism and aging, and why almost all the strong evidence is from mice and cells.
