Peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino acids—typically 2 to 50—linked by chemical bonds known as peptide bonds. They are considered the "building blocks" of proteins, but are shorter in length, and play essential roles as signaling molecules, hormones, and neurotransmitters in the human body. Because of their ability to regulate bodily functions, synthetic peptides are widely used in pharmaceuticals, skincare, and sports performance enhancement, often referred to as "peptide therapy".

Tesamorelin: The FDA-Approved GHRH Analog Targeting Visceral Fat and Metabolic Dysfunction

A synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone approved by the FDA for HIV-associated lipodystrophy, Tesamorelin reduces visceral fat through targeted stimulation of the pituitary GH axis — with emerging research exploring its role in metabolic health and cognitive aging.

Thymosin Alpha-1: The Thymic Immune Modulator for Infection, Cancer, and Longevity

Thymosin Alpha-1 is a synthetic peptide derived from the thymus gland that modulates the immune system at multiple levels, with established clinical use in infectious disease, cancer, and an emerging role in longevity and immune aging.

Thymosin Beta-4: The Regenerative Peptide for Wound Healing, Tissue Repair, and Cardioprotection

Thymosin Beta-4 is a 43-amino acid peptide with broad regenerative and anti-inflammatory activity, best known for its roles in wound healing, tissue repair, and cardioprotection, with growing interest in its applications for recovery and longevity.

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP): The Neuropeptide Regulator of Inflammation, Immunity, and Neural Function

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide is a 28-amino acid neuropeptide with potent anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and neuroprotective activity, with emerging applications in autoimmune disease, pulmonary conditions, and longevity-oriented practice.

Kisspeptin: The Master Regulator of Reproduction, Hormonal Pulsatility, and Metabolic Integration

Kisspeptin is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that serves as the master regulator of the reproductive axis, with emerging evidence for roles in metabolic regulation, sexual behavior, and mood, positioning it at the intersection of endocrinology, fertility medicine, and longevity research.

Melanotan: The Melanocortin Peptide for Pigmentation, Sexual Function, and Appetite Regulation

Melanotan refers to a family of synthetic melanocortin peptides developed from alpha-MSH that stimulate pigmentation, sexual function, and appetite regulation, with a complex profile that spans legitimate research applications and significant safety and regulatory considerations.

SLU-PP-332: The Exercise Mimetic Targeting ERR Nuclear Receptors for Metabolic Fitness and Longevity

SLU-PP-332 is a synthetic small-molecule ERR agonist that mimics the physiological effects of endurance exercise at the cellular level, with preclinical evidence for improvements in metabolic fitness, muscle endurance, cardiac function, and longevity markers without requiring physical activity.
