Featured Peptides

Metabolic

Tirzepatide

A novel dual agonist for GLP-1 and GIP receptors, used for weight management and diabetes.

Metabolic

Semaglutide

A widely used GLP-1 analog for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.

Metabolic

MOTS-c

A mitochondria-derived micropeptide studied for its metabolic and anti-aging effects.

Metabolic

AOD-9604

A GH fragment specifically designed for fat reduction and cartilage repair.

Metabolic

SS-31

A mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant peptide.

Metabolic

Humanin

A mitochondrial signaling peptide with wide-ranging protective effects.

Metabolic

Retatrutide

The most potent weight loss peptide currently in development, targeting three key metabolic pathways simultaneously.

Metabolic

Liraglutide

A long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes treatment and chronic weight management. Provides sustained glucose control and appetite suppression.

Metabolic

Dulaglutide

A once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes treatment. Provides sustained glucose control with convenient weekly dosing.

Metabolic

Fragment 176-191

A 16-amino acid fragment of human growth hormone that selectively promotes fat metabolism without the side effects of full HGH. Research suggests targeted fat loss properties.

Metabolic

Exendin-4

A GLP-1 receptor agonist originally derived from Gila monster venom. Approved for type 2 diabetes treatment with twice-daily or once-weekly formulations.

Metabolic

Glutathione

The body's master antioxidant, glutathione plays a crucial role in detoxification, immune function, and protection against oxidative stress.

Metabolic

Adipotide

An experimental peptide that selectively targets and destroys fat cells by causing apoptosis. Research suggests significant fat loss potential but with safety concerns.

Metabolic

Cagrilintide

A long-acting amylin receptor agonist under investigation for weight management. Promotes significant weight loss through appetite suppression.

Metabolic

Insulin

The essential hormone for glucose regulation. Used to treat diabetes mellitus. Available in various formulations with different durations of action.

Metabolic

GLP-2

A hormone that promotes intestinal growth and function. Approved for short bowel syndrome treatment.

Metabolic

Survodutide

Survodutide is an investigational dual GLP-1 / glucagon receptor agonist in late-stage development for obesity and MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis). The glucagon arm distinguishes it from tirzepatide (GLP-1/GIP) and is central to why liver endpoints are prominent in its development program.

Metabolic

Orforglipron

Orforglipron is a non-peptide, oral, small-molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist in late-stage development. It is included in peptide references because it targets the same receptor as semaglutide, but it is not itself a peptide and has different manufacturing, absorption, and supply-chain properties.
