Tirzepatide: dual-receptor biology and the evidence behind the medicine
Tirzepatide acts at GIP and GLP-1 receptors and has substantial clinical research behind specific medicines. Explore what the trials show, why populations matter and why a research-labelled product cannot inherit a medicine’s evidence.
-
Clinical research
Tesamorelin: why the clinical setting matters
Tesamorelin has clinical evidence in a defined HIV-associated setting. Explore how those trials measured visceral fat, why that differs from general weight loss, and what the medicine label does not support.
-
NŪVO Insights
TB-500 and thymosin beta-4: why molecular identity comes first
TB-500 is often discussed as though it were interchangeable with thymosin beta-4. Explore what analytical studies identified and why a fragment, a full-length peptide and a product label cannot share evidence automatically.
-
Cosmetic research
SNAP-8: how to assess the evidence for a cosmetic peptide
SNAP-8 is associated with acetyl octapeptide-3 in cosmetic research. Explore what multi-ingredient patch studies can reveal, why delivery matters and why results cannot automatically be credited to one peptide.
-
Neuroscience
Semax and BDNF: reading neuroplasticity research carefully
Semax appears in research on neurotrophic signalling, including BDNF. Explore what rodent and cell studies measured, how those findings inform hypotheses, and why they cannot establish a predictable cognitive benefit in people.
-
Neuroscience
Selank: examining the GABA-related research
Selank research includes experiments on neurotransmission-related genes and GABA binding. Explore the difference between these mechanistic findings and evidence that an intervention safely improves anxiety, concentration or daily functioning in people.
-
Clinical research
Retatrutide: understanding triple-receptor metabolic research
Retatrutide activates GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon receptors. Explore what its clinical research investigates, why cross-trial comparisons are limited, and how to distinguish an investigational medicine from products using informal research labels.
-
Bremelanotide
PT-141 and bremelanotide: what the clinical evidence actually concerns
PT-141 is also known as bremelanotide. Explore the population and outcomes studied in the RECONNECT trials, the boundaries of the US medicine indication, and why those findings do not validate every research-labelled preparation.
-
Cellular research
NAD+: what human studies add to the cellular story
NAD+ is essential to cellular biology, but that does not settle the benefits of every NAD-related intervention. Explore human NR and NMN studies, ageing mechanisms and the limits of transferring evidence between molecules and routes.
-
Afamelanotide
MT-1 and afamelanotide: separating pigmentation research from product claims
MT-1 is commonly associated with melanotan I and afamelanotide research. Understand how pigmentation biology led to a specialist medicine for EPP, and why that evidence does not validate unlicensed tanning products.
-
Metabolic research
MOTS-c: how mitochondria may communicate beyond energy production
MOTS-c research suggests that mitochondria participate in cellular signalling as well as energy production. Explore the discovery studies, stress-response findings and human exercise observations without confusing them with evidence for supplementation.
-
Inflammatory signalling
KPV: a small peptide in inflammation research
KPV is a three-amino-acid peptide studied in inflammatory signalling. Explore the roles of cellular uptake and experimental intestinal models, and why findings in mice cannot establish a treatment for human digestive conditions.
-
Clinical research
Kisspeptin: understanding a signal in reproductive biology
Kisspeptin research links brain signalling with reproductive hormones. Explore human studies in IVF and hypothalamic amenorrhoea, and learn why findings for kisspeptin-54 cannot simply be transferred to every kisspeptin product or use.
-
Cellular research
GHK-Cu: exploring copper peptides and tissue remodelling
GHK-Cu research examines how cells produce and remodel their surrounding matrix. Discover what foundational studies found and why cell, animal and cosmetic evidence should not be combined into a single promise of rejuvenation.
-
DSIP
DSIP: why a sleep-related name is not proof of better sleep
DSIP has a long history in sleep research, but its name can create expectations the evidence does not support. Explore a controlled human study and the questions needed to interpret sleep-related claims.
-
CJC-1295
CJC-1295 and ipamorelin: two pathways, several unanswered questions
CJC-1295 and ipamorelin are often discussed together, but their research histories differ. Learn why exact molecular identity matters and why changes in growth hormone do not automatically establish improvements in health or performance.
-
Cagrilintide
Cagrilintide: the amylin pathway in metabolic research
Cagrilintide brings amylin biology into metabolic research. Explore the difference between the individual compound and CagriSema, what clinical studies have measured, and why combination results cannot be attributed to one ingredient.
-
BPC-157
BPC-157 and tissue research: what the experiments can tell us
BPC-157 attracts attention for tissue-repair research, but the type of evidence matters. We examine representative tendon experiments and explain what they do—and do not—establish about outcomes in people.
-
Fundamentals
Research peptides: how to understand the science behind the label
A peptide’s name tells only part of its story. Explore how research peptides are studied, what analytical testing can establish, and why a laboratory result is different from evidence for a medicine.
-
BPC-157
KPV, BPC-157 & TB-500: What Does the Evidence Actually Say?
KPV, BPC-157 and TB-500 are discussed together far more often than they are studied together. A look at what each one has actually been tested on, and how much of it applies to people.
-
GLP-1
