Real peptide studies, in plain English. No PhD required.
BPC-157: the body's repair signal, decoded
How a fragment of a stomach protein became the most-hyped recovery peptide — and what the research actually shows.
TB-500: the healing protein your body already makes
TB-500 is built from a regenerative protein your own platelets release after an injury. Decades of research explain why.
Tirzepatide: the strongest weight-loss drug ever trialed
The real numbers behind Mounjaro and Zepbound — what the landmark SURMOUNT-1 trial measured, and the catch about stopping.
Semaglutide: the drug that started the GLP-1 era
Before Mounjaro there was Ozempic. What the STEP trials measured — and why semaglutide rewrote obesity medicine.
Tesamorelin: the FDA-approved peptide for belly fat
Unlike most peptides, this one cleared the FDA. What its trials showed about visceral fat — and the limits of that evidence.
CJC-1295: the long-acting growth-hormone lever
Why CJC-1295 keeps growth hormone elevated for days, not minutes — and what the one key human study actually showed.
GHK-Cu: the copper peptide for skin, decoded
A tiny copper-bound peptide your body makes less of as you age. Here's what the research says about skin, collagen, and hair.
PT-141: the libido peptide that cleared the FDA
Bremelanotide works on the brain, not the bloodstream. What its Phase 3 trials in women actually showed.
MOTS-c: the exercise-mimic written in your mitochondria
A peptide encoded not in your DNA but your mitochondria's. The science is fascinating — and very early.
