Every Peptide. Every Mechanism. Every Evidence Tier.
Deep-dive research pages grounded in a 10,000+ hour practitioner corpus — the same curated source that trains the DoseCraft AI copilot. Not PubMed abstracts. Not Reddit threads. Mechanism, half-life, dose range, cycling, contraindications, and evidence tier — for every compound worth researching.
Every compound is tagged across three independent evidence lanes so you always know the research quality you’re acting on.
Healing
Connective tissue, gut lining, systemic recovery.
BPC-157
Body Protection Compound 157
BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-amino-acid pentadecapeptide derived from a protective sequence isolated from human gastric juice. Researchers investigate its modulation of nitric oxide signaling, VEGFR2 upregulation, and growth-factor expression at sites of connective-tissue injury — proposed mechanisms for the angiogenic and cytoprotective effects observed in animal models.
TB-500
Thymosin Beta-4
TB-500 is a synthetic fragment of Thymosin Beta-4, a naturally occurring 43-amino-acid peptide. Researchers investigate its actin-binding properties, which are proposed to drive cell migration, blood-vessel formation, and tissue remodeling at sites of injury. The compound is investigated for systemic recovery research and connective-tissue applications.
GH Axis
Growth-hormone pulse research & secretagogues.
Ipamorelin
NNC 26-0161
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide selective ghrelin receptor (GHSR-1a) agonist. Researchers investigate its capacity to stimulate pulsatile growth-hormone release from the anterior pituitary without significant elevations in cortisol, prolactin, or aldosterone — a selectivity profile that distinguishes it from earlier secretagogues like GHRP-2 and GHRP-6.
CJC-1295 (with DAC)
CJC-1295 DAC
CJC-1295 with DAC is a synthetic GHRH analog covalently bound to a Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) — a maleimide moiety that conjugates to circulating serum albumin. Researchers investigate the resulting extended half-life and sustained GH-axis stimulation. The non-DAC variant (mod-GRF 1-29) shares the GHRH analog backbone but lacks the albumin-binding modification, producing a much shorter functional duration.
Metabolic
GLP-1, GIP, glucagon receptor agonists.
Semaglutide
GLP-1 Receptor Agonist
Semaglutide is a long-acting GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist. Researchers investigate its glucose-dependent insulin secretion potentiation, glucagon suppression, slowed gastric emptying, and central appetite-modulation effects. The compound's structural modifications — including a fatty-acid side chain enabling albumin binding — extend half-life dramatically over native GLP-1 (which has a ~2-minute half-life).
Tirzepatide
Dual GIP/GLP-1 Receptor Agonist
Tirzepatide is a synthetic dual agonist at both the GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 receptors. Researchers investigate the combined incretin effect — proposed to drive greater insulin sensitization, appetite modulation, and metabolic outcomes than GLP-1 monotherapy. The compound shares the structural modifications (fatty-acid side chain, albumin binding) that produce the extended half-life characteristic of weekly metabolic peptides.
Retatrutide
Triple Agonist
Retatrutide is a synthetic triple agonist at the GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors. Researchers investigate the additive effect of glucagon-receptor activation — proposed to increase energy expenditure via thermogenesis — on top of the dual incretin mechanism shared with Tirzepatide. The compound is structurally modified for albumin binding and weekly dosing.
Longevity
Mitochondrial, pineal, telomere research.
NAD+
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme central to mitochondrial electron transport, sirtuin activity, and PARP-mediated DNA repair. Researchers investigate exogenous NAD+ administration and its precursors (NMN, NR) as approaches to support cellular NAD+ pools, which decline with age. The compound is investigated in longevity research, mitochondrial-function research, and metabolic applications.
Epitalon
Epithalon
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) modeled on the bovine pineal extract epithalamin. Researchers investigate its proposed effects on telomerase activity, telomere length, and pineal-mediated circadian and endocrine signaling. The original research line traces to the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology (Khavinson and colleagues) over multiple decades.
