Research-Grade

A potent GHRP with documented cardioprotective effects in ischemic animal models, distinct from other GHRPs in its non-GH receptor activity.

IGF-1 LR3
growth factor

IGF-1 LR3

Research-Grade

A long-acting analog of insulin-like growth factor 1 with substitutions that reduce IGF-binding-protein affinity, extending half-life and increasing free IGF-1 activity.

Ipamorelin
growth hormone-secretagogue

Ipamorelin

Research-Grade

The most selective GHRP (growth-hormone-releasing peptide) — amplifies GH pulses via ghrelin/GHSR receptor without meaningful cortisol, prolactin, or aldosterone crosstalk.

Liraglutide
glp 1-analog

Marine Collagen Peptides
oral peptide

Marine Collagen Peptides

Various (Supplement)

Fish-derived hydrolyzed collagen — smaller molecular weight than bovine, often claimed to have superior bioavailability though head-to-head evidence is limited.
