A research blend pairing the GHRH analog Sermorelin with the growth hormone-releasing peptide GHRP-2. The combination is studied for synergistic stimulation of endogenous growth hormone.
A research blend combining the GHRH analog Sermorelin with the ghrelin-receptor agonist GHRP-6. It is studied for synergistic growth hormone release and appetite stimulation.
A triple research blend pairing the GHRH analog Sermorelin with two ghrelin-receptor agonists, GHRP-6 and GHRP-2. It is studied for maximal synergistic stimulation of endogenous growth hormone.
A widely studied research blend combining the GHRH analog Sermorelin with the highly selective ghrelin-receptor agonist Ipamorelin. It is examined for clean, synergistic growth hormone release with minimal off-target effects.
A potent three-part research blend pairing two GHRH analogs, Tesamorelin and CJC-1295 (No DAC), with the selective ghrelin agonist Ipamorelin. It is studied for strong synergistic GH release and visceral fat reduction.
A research blend combining the visceral-fat-reducing GHRH analog Tesamorelin with the selective ghrelin agonist Ipamorelin. It is studied for synergistic GH release with a favorable metabolic profile.
A research blend combining the GH secretagogues Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 (No DAC) with the telomere-associated peptide Epitalon. It is studied for combined growth hormone support and longevity-oriented effects.
A vendor-formulated multi-peptide research blend marketed around growth hormone secretagogue activity. It typically combines a GHRH analog with one or more ghrelin-receptor agonists for synergistic GH release.
Petrelintide is a long-acting amylin analog in phase 2/3 development for weight management, notable for producing meaningful weight loss with markedly less gastrointestinal burden than incretin-based drugs.
Amycretin — now assigned the international nonproprietary name zenagamtide — is a single peptide that agonizes both the GLP-1 and amylin receptors, combining two distinct appetite pathways in one molecule.
MariTide is a once-monthly peptide-antibody conjugate that activates the GLP-1 receptor while blocking the GIP receptor — the opposite GIP strategy from tirzepatide, and the most mechanistically unusual drug in late-stage obesity development.
A long-acting injectable testosterone ester used clinically for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in men with diagnosed hypogonadism. Prescription medication.
A long-acting injectable testosterone ester used for testosterone replacement therapy. Clinically near-interchangeable with cypionate. Prescription medication.
A short-acting injectable testosterone ester requiring more frequent dosing. Less common for maintenance TRT. Prescription medication.
An aromatase inhibitor used off-label to control estrogen elevation on testosterone therapy. Prescription medication (approved for breast cancer).
A selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that raises the body's own testosterone by increasing LH and FSH. Investigational; used off-label.
A selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) used off-label to raise endogenous testosterone and to restart natural production in post-cycle therapy. Prescription medication (approved for female fertility).
A steroidal (irreversible) aromatase inhibitor used off-label as an alternative to anastrozole for controlling estrogen on testosterone therapy. Prescription medication (approved for breast cancer).
A selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) used off-label to manage gynecomastia and in post-cycle therapy. Prescription medication (approved for breast cancer).
An adrenal prohormone that the body converts into testosterone and estrogen. Available over the counter as a supplement in the US; still a hormone precursor — use with medical guidance.
The upstream 'mother' hormone: a cholesterol-derived precursor to DHEA, progesterone, and downstream steroids, and a neurosteroid. Available OTC as a supplement; use with medical guidance.
