    • Support for body weight reduction.
    • Better blood glucose control.
    • Improved insulin sensitivity.
    • Possible cardiometabolic benefits in clinical studies.
    • Favorable effects on metabolic markers.

    Important considerations

    • It does not replace the diagnosis or treatment of a medical condition.
    • Requires individual evaluation in people with a medical history, especially diabetes, gastrointestinal problems or endocrine conditions.
    • Dosing and duration should be personalized according to goals and professional supervision.
    • May not be suitable in certain cases (e.g. pregnancy, breastfeeding, history of pancreatitis or medullary thyroid cancer).

    CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin

    Growth hormone stimulation and muscle recovery

    Requires a professional evaluation

    What is it?

    CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are peptides that work in synergy to stimulate the pulsatile release of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland. CJC-1295 acts as a GHRH (growth hormone-releasing hormone) analogue and Ipamorelin acts as a selective ghrelin receptor (GHS-R) agonist, promoting a more physiological and sustained release of GH.

    How does it work biologically?

    CJC-1295 binds to GHRH receptors in the pituitary gland, increasing the release of growth hormone (GH). Ipamorelin binds to ghrelin receptors (GHS-R), selectively stimulating GH secretion. Together, they act in a complementary way to increase the pulsatile and sustained release of GH, which supports liver production of IGF-1 and activates growth, repair and recovery processes in different tissues of the body.

    Researched benefits

    • Increases the release of growth hormone (GH).
    • May support muscle recovery and physical performance.
    • Supports bone health and mineral density, body composition and strength.
    • Contributes to tissue repair and recovery after exercise.
    • GH release happens mainly during sleep, supporting natural recovery processes.

    Areas of research

    • Muscle recovery
    • Bone health
    • Body composition
    • Tissue repair

    Important considerations

    • Requires professional supervision for appropriate use.
    • The protocol may vary according to individual goals.
    • Proper monitoring of the response and overall wellbeing is important.

    PT-141 (Bremelanotide)

    Sexual desire and regulation of the sexual response

    Requires a professional evaluation

    What is it?

    PT-141 (bremelanotide) is an analogue of melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that binds to melanocortin receptors, mainly MC4R, in the central nervous system.
