Peptides
Every peptide we cover, in one place. Each entry is a neutral, research-based summary — what it is, what the studies suggest, the strength of the evidence, and the open questions.
Dihexa
Dihexa is a synthetic angiotensin IV-derived peptide studied in rodents for memory and cognitive restoration via the HGF/c-Met pathway.
DSIP
DSIP is a naturally occurring nonapeptide studied since 1977 for sleep quality, with limited human trial support and no FDA approval.
Selank
Selank is a Russian-developed synthetic peptide studied mainly as an anxiolytic, offering anxiety relief without typical benzodiazepine sedation.
Semax
Semax is a synthetic ACTH-derived heptapeptide used in Russia as a prescription nootropic for stroke recovery and cognitive support.
SS-31
SS-31 (elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide approved in 2025 for Barth syndrome, with other uses still investigational.
TB-500
TB-500 is a synthetic thymosin beta-4 fragment studied mainly for wound healing, sold online as an unregulated research chemical.
Tesamorelin
An FDA-approved GHRH analog injection that stimulates natural growth hormone to reduce visceral fat in HIV-associated lipodystrophy.
Thymosin Alpha-1
A 28-amino-acid thymic peptide studied as an immune modulator, with the strongest evidence in sepsis survival and cancer adjuvant therapy.
