GLP-1 & Metabolic

GLP-1 receptor agonists and metabolic peptides mimic incretin hormones to regulate blood glucose, slow gastric emptying, and modulate appetite signaling pathways. Research focuses on their role in energy homeostasis and metabolic syndrome.

Growth Hormone

Growth hormone secretagogues stimulate the pituitary gland to release endogenous GH through GHRH or ghrelin receptor activation. These peptides are studied for their effects on body composition, IGF-1 levels, and somatotropic axis regulation.

Recovery & Repair

Tissue-repair peptides accelerate wound healing, reduce inflammation, and promote angiogenesis through mechanisms such as nitric oxide modulation and growth factor upregulation. Key research areas include tendon, ligament, and gastrointestinal tissue regeneration.

Growth Factors

Insulin-like growth factors and mechano-growth factors play critical roles in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and muscle hypertrophy. Research examines their paracrine and autocrine signaling in tissue development and repair.

Shop Growth Factors

Reproductive

Reproductive peptides act on the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis to modulate gonadotropin release, fertility signaling, and hormonal balance. Studies explore their applications in reproductive endocrinology research.

Melanocortin

Melanocortin peptides bind MC1R–MC5R receptors to influence pigmentation, sexual function, appetite, and inflammatory responses. Research spans dermatology, sexual medicine, and neuroendocrine regulation.

Cognitive

Nootropic and neuroprotective peptides modulate neurotransmitter systems (including BDNF, serotonin, and dopamine pathways) to support memory, focus, anxiolysis, and neuroplasticity. They are studied in cognitive decline and stress-related research models.

Shop Cognitive

Longevity

Anti-aging peptides target mitochondrial function, telomerase activity, and cellular senescence pathways. Research investigates their potential to extend cellular lifespan, improve metabolic efficiency, and protect against age-related oxidative damage.

Shop Longevity

Immune

Immunomodulatory peptides regulate innate and adaptive immune responses through mechanisms such as antimicrobial activity, cytokine modulation, and T-cell maturation. They are studied in infection, autoimmunity, and immune reconstitution models.

Bioregulators

Short-chain bioregulator peptides (typically 2–4 amino acids) interact with specific DNA sequences to modulate gene expression in targeted organ systems. Developed from Khavinson's research, they are studied for tissue-specific regenerative effects.
