ACTH 1-39
ClinicalFull-length adrenal hormone with broad receptor activity
ACTH 1-39 is the full-length, biologically active form of adrenocorticotropic hormone, a 39-amino acid peptide naturally secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. It primarily stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce cortisol, aldosterone, and adrenal androgens. Beyond adrenal signaling, ACTH 1-39 exerts direct effects on the brain, immune system, and peripheral tissues via melanocortin receptors.

Cagrilintide
ClinicalOnce-weekly amylin analogue for weight loss
Cagrilintide is a long-acting acylated amylin analogue developed by Novo Nordisk for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. It mimics the pancreatic hormone amylin to reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying, and promote satiety. In clinical trials, it has been studied both as a monotherapy and in combination with semaglutide (as CagriSema), demonstrating meaningful and sustained body weight reduction.

Cagrisema (2.5mg + 2.5mg)
ClinicalDual amylin-GLP-1 therapy for superior weight loss
Cagrisema is a fixed-ratio combination of cagrilintide (a long-acting amylin analogue) and semaglutide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist), each at 2.5 mg per dose. This dual-hormone therapy is designed to provide additive and potentially synergistic effects on appetite suppression, glycemic control, and body weight reduction beyond what either agent achieves alone. It is currently under clinical investigation by Novo Nordisk for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Gonadorelin Acetate
ClinicalPreserve natural testosterone via HPG axis activation
Gonadorelin Acetate is a synthetic decapeptide identical to endogenous gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), produced and secreted by the hypothalamus. It stimulates the pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), thereby supporting endogenous testosterone and estrogen production. It is used clinically to assess pituitary function, treat hypogonadism, support fertility, and is increasingly used alongside anabolic protocols to preserve testicular function.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG)
ClinicalThe LH Mimic for Hormonal Restoration
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone naturally produced by the placenta during pregnancy, structurally similar to luteinizing hormone (LH). In clinical and research settings, it is used to stimulate testosterone production in men, support fertility, and maintain testicular function during or after anabolic steroid use. It acts directly on the gonads to mimic LH signaling, making it a cornerstone of hormonal restoration protocols.

Mazdutide
ClinicalDual GLP-1/glucagon agonist for metabolic health
Mazdutide is a dual GLP-1/glucagon receptor co-agonist peptide developed by Innovent Biologics, originally derived from oxyntomodulin. It simultaneously activates both GLP-1 and glucagon receptors to produce robust reductions in body weight, blood glucose, and hepatic fat. Clinical trials in China have demonstrated significant efficacy for obesity and type 2 diabetes management.

Melanotan I
ClinicalClinical-grade melanocyte activator for photoprotection
Melanotan I (afamelanotide) is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that potently stimulates melanogenesis, increasing skin pigmentation without requiring UV exposure. It was developed primarily to protect individuals with photosensitive conditions such as erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) from painful phototoxic reactions. Beyond tanning, it has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, photoprotective, and potentially immunomodulatory effects in clinical and preclinical studies.

Triptorelin Acetate
ClinicalGnRH analogue for hormonal axis modulation
Triptorelin Acetate is a synthetic decapeptide analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) used clinically to treat hormone-sensitive conditions such as prostate cancer, endometriosis, and central precocious puberty. Upon initial administration it causes a transient surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), followed by sustained suppression of gonadal steroid production through pituitary receptor desensitization. In research and off-label contexts, single low-dose administration has been explored as a means to transiently restore hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis function in individuals with post-anabolic-steroid-induced hypogonadism.

AICAR
Human-limitedAMPK activator mimicking endurance exercise effects
AICAR (Acadesine) is a nucleoside analog and potent AMPK activator that mimics the cellular energy-depletion state, triggering a cascade of metabolic adaptations including enhanced fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial biogenesis. It has been extensively studied for its ability to improve endurance performance, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic flexibility without physical exercise. Originally developed as a cardioprotective agent, it has attracted significant interest in the performance and longevity research communities.

AOD9604
Human-limitedFat-targeting hGH fragment for metabolic support
AOD9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminal region of human growth hormone (amino acids 176–191), developed originally by Monash University as an anti-obesity drug. It mimics the lipolytic (fat-burning) effects of growth hormone without stimulating IGF-1 production or promoting cell proliferation. Research suggests it stimulates fat breakdown and inhibits fat formation, with a favorable safety profile compared to full-length hGH.

HGH Fragment 176-191
Human-limitedTargeted fat-loss fragment of growth hormone
HGH Fragment 176-191 is a synthetic peptide derived from amino acids 176–191 of the C-terminus of human growth hormone (hGH). It was specifically engineered to retain the lipolytic (fat-burning) properties of hGH while eliminating its growth-promoting and insulin-desensitizing effects. Research, primarily in animal models, suggests it stimulates fat breakdown and inhibits the formation of new fat cells.

Kisspeptin-10
Human-limitedEndogenous HPG axis activator for sexual health
Kisspeptin-10 is the biologically active C-terminal decapeptide fragment of the larger kisspeptin precursor protein, encoded by the KISS1 gene. It acts as a potent endogenous activator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, stimulating the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and downstream luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). It is investigated for applications in reproductive endocrinology, sexual function, and mood regulation.

Lipo-C
Human-limitedLipotropic blend for fat loss and liver health
Lipo-C is a lipotropic injection blend combining several compounds—typically methionine, inositol, choline, carnitine, and B vitamins—designed to support fat metabolism and liver function. It promotes the mobilization and breakdown of fat deposits, particularly in the liver. The formulation is commonly used in weight loss programs to enhance lipolysis and improve metabolic efficiency.

Adipotide (FTTP)
AnimalTargeted fat-depot destruction via vascular apoptosis
Adipotide (also called FTTP) is an experimental peptidomimetic compound designed to selectively destroy the blood supply to white adipose tissue by targeting prohibitin, a protein highly expressed on the vasculature feeding fat cells. Originally developed at MD Anderson Cancer Center, it demonstrated dramatic fat loss in obese rhesus monkeys without dietary restriction. It remains a research compound with no approved human clinical use.

AnimalTargeted fat-depot elimination via vascular apoptosis
Adipotide is a pro-apoptotic peptidomimetic designed to selectively destroy the blood supply feeding white adipose tissue (WAT), causing fat cell death through targeted vascular disruption. It was developed at MD Anderson Cancer Center primarily as an anti-obesity compound and has shown dramatic fat loss in non-human primate studies. Human clinical data remains extremely limited, and it is considered a research compound only.
