What is CJC-1295 and how does it work?

Growth hormone is a natural peptide hormone from your pituitary gland. In young children, it stimulates growth. In adults, it supports muscle mass, fat metabolism, bone health, and heart health. It typically increases during deep sleep in the middle of the night. Also, its levels decline with age, contributing to age-related body fat gain, loss of lean mass, and slowed metabolism.

Growth hormone also stimulates IGF-1, which manages the effects of growth hormones. Both hormones work together on tissue and bone growth. IGF-1 weakly binds to insulin receptors and may enhance insulin action. In adults, IGF-1 also protects the blood vessels and neurons, making it important for cardiovascular, and cognitive and mental health.

CJC-1295 is the synthetic analog of the first 29 amino acids of growth-hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) or growth hormone secretagogue. In a clinical study, CJC-1295 increased growth hormones (GH) by 2- to 10-fold and insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) by 0.5- to 3-fold over the course of 9 to 11 days.

Benefits & Uses

• Promotes muscle growth and fat loss
• Slows down aging
• Improves sleep
• Stays in the system for more than a week
• Temporarily increases GHRH

What is Epithalon and how does it work?

Epithalon is the lab-made version of epithalamin, a natural pineal peptide hormone. It increases telomerase, an enzyme that helps extend the telomeres, which are the end of your chromosomes.

Telomere shortening is a marker of aging and can cause cellular senescence, when the cells can no longer divide and regenerate tissues.

Epithalon also helps with metabolism, hypothalamic sensitivity to hormones, and pituitary hormone productions. It increases lifespan in model organisms including flies, mice, and rats.

Benefits & Uses

• Decelerates aging and cellular senescence
• Regulates and balances hormones
• Lengthens telomeres
• Reduces oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation

What is GHRP-2 and how does it work?

Growth hormone is a natural peptide hormone from your pituitary gland. In young children, it stimulates growth. In adults, it supports muscle mass, fat metabolism, bone health, and heart health. It typically increases during deep sleep in the middle of the night. Also, its levels decline with age, contributing to age-related body fat gain, loss of lean mass, and slowed metabolism.

Growth hormone also stimulates IGF-1, which manages the effects of growth hormones. Both hormones work together on tissue and bone growth. IGF-1 weakly binds to insulin receptors and may enhance insulin action. In adults, IGF-1 also protects the blood vessels and neurons, making it important for cardiovascular health, and cognitive and mental health.

GHRPs (growth hormone releasing peptides) can boost natural growth hormone production from the anterior pituitary without the side effects of regular growth hormone supplementation. GHRP-2 is the second strongest GHRP. It binds to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor.

Aside from stimulating GH secretion, it stimulates ghrelin (hunger hormone), possibly helping with muscle gains. GHRP-2 also weakly and temporarily increases prolactin, ACTH, and cortisol.

Benefits & Uses

• Promotes muscle growth
• Helps with mood and stress resilience
• Slows down aging
• Improves sleep
• Promotes a balanced inflammatory response
• Improves bone density

Side Effects

• Redness, itchiness, and swelling of injection sites
• Stimulates ghrelin receptor and thus appetite (to a lesser extent than GHRP-6)
• Too high doses of GHRPs or use of GHRPs without cycling can overstimulate their receptors, reducing GH and its effectiveness
• Prolonged use and oversaturation of receptors may increase anxiety and depression
• Increases in stress responses through prolactin, and ACTH
• May cause hypoglycemia

Stacks Well With

• GHRH and other GHRPs
• BPC-157 for anabolic and tissue healing benefits

Ways To Take

• Growth hormone secretagogues are best away from food, either before bed or first thing in the morning.
• They can be administered via subcutaneous injection, orally, or intranasally.

What is Hexarelin and how does it work?

Growth hormone is a natural peptide hormone from your pituitary gland. In young children, it stimulates growth. In adults, it supports muscle mass, fat metabolism, bone health, and heart health. It typically increases during deep sleep in the middle of the night. Also, its levels decline with age, contributing to age-related body fat gain, loss of lean mass, and slowed metabolism.

Growth hormone also stimulates IGF-1, which manages the effects of growth hormones. Both hormones work together on tissue and bone growth. IGF-1 weakly binds to insulin receptors and may enhance insulin action. In adults, IGF-1 also protects the blood vessels and neurons, making it important for cardiovascular, and cognitive and mental health.

Hexarelin is a synthetic growth hormone-releasing peptide that stimulates GHRH release. It’s the strongest one that also increases cortisol and prolactin. However, it does not increase appetite, making it a helpful peptide for fat loss.

Benefits & Uses

• Antagonizes somatostatin, allowing for muscle growth
• Potently stimulates the release of GHRH with longer lasting effect than GHRP-2 and GHRP-6
• Boosts mood
• Boosts stress resilience

What is Humanin and how does it work?

Humanin is a 24-amino acid peptide that naturally occurs in the mitochondria, found in many tissues and the bloodstream. It controls healthspan and lifespan in many animals. Natural Humanin levels are higher in centenarians and their children compared to age-matched controls. Patients with Alzheimer’s, and mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAs) also had lower Humanin levels.

In animals, Humanin administration delays age-related cognitive and metabolic decline. At the same time, it protects against age-related diseases, such as stroke and cardiovascular conditions

Benefits & Uses

• Improves metabolic parameters, reducing the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases
• Reduces inflammatory markers
• Protects neurons
• Protects healthy cells from apoptosis (cellular suicide), while promoting apoptosis in cancer cells

What is Kisspeptin and how does it work?

Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide hormone from the hypothalamus that stimulates the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from hypothalamic neurons through a receptor called GPR54. It helps normalize steroid hormone feedback and responses to nutrients.

Naturally-occuring kisspeptin helps stimulate sexual arousal and romance in men. It may also boost fertility outcomes and psychosexual mental health issues related to conception efforts. Kisspeptin is being researched as a potential alternative to hCG in fertility treatments.

In animal models of polycystic ovarian syndrome, Kisspeptin and GnRH levels are abnormal.

Benefits & Uses

What is LL-37 and how does it work?

LL-37 is the 37-amino acid cleavage product of human cathelicidin, an antiviral, antimicrobial, and anti-biofilm peptide. Humans produce the precursor form of this peptide in our neutrophils, natural killer cells, and in the lung lining cells.

Because LL-37 is positively charged, it can cling to and poke holes in negatively-charged bacterial cells and viral membranes. It can block the bacterial toxin called lipopolysaccharides from causing inflammation through Toll-like receptors. With its interaction with cell membranes, it can help modulate immune function.

Benefits & Uses

What is PE-22-28 and how does it work?

PE-22-28 is a 7-amino acid derivative of Spadin, which blocks the TREK-1 channel in the brain. Chronic, unpredictable mild stress increases TREK-1 in the hippocampus, a region that controls mood, memory, and learning. The TREK-1 increase may allow for stress-induced cognitive impairment and low mood, so blocking it seems to preserve cognitive performance and mood during stress. Mice studies showed that PE-22-28 reduced immobility time and delay to eating food. It also boosts neuronal growth and connections, and protects neurons from excitotoxicity.

Benefits & Uses

• Improves mood and motivation
• Induces neurogenesis and synaptogenesis
• Improves firing rates of serotonin neurons
• Protects neurons from excess glutamate
• Improves the brain’s stress resilience
• Preserves cognitive performance amidst stress
