Showing 8 peptides in Growth Hormone Peptides

CJC-1295

Experimental

Growth Hormone Peptides

A synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Available with or without Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) which extends half-life.

Molecular Weight

3367.9 Da (no DAC) / 3647.3 Da (with DAC)

Half-Life

30 min (no DAC) / 6-8 days (with DAC)

Ipamorelin

Experimental

Growth Hormone Peptides

A selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) that stimulates GH release without significantly affecting cortisol, prolactin, or ACTH.

Molecular Weight

711.9 Da

Half-Life

~2 hours

Sermorelin

FDA Approved

Growth Hormone Peptides

The first 29 amino acids of GHRH. Stimulates natural GH production and release from the pituitary. Considered a more physiological approach than exogenous GH.

Molecular Weight

3357.9 Da

Half-Life

~10-20 minutes

Tesamorelin

FDA Approved

Growth Hormone Peptides

A synthetic GHRH analog FDA-approved for reducing excess abdominal fat in HIV-associated lipodystrophy. Also studied for cognitive benefits and NAFLD.

Molecular Weight

5135.9 Da

Half-Life

~26 minutes (but sustained GH elevation)

GHRP-6

Experimental

Growth Hormone Peptides

A first-generation growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates GH release via the ghrelin receptor. Known for strongly increasing appetite.

Molecular Weight

873.0 Da

Half-Life

~15-60 minutes

GHRP-2

Approved in Japan (diagnostic use)

Growth Hormone Peptides

A second-generation growth hormone secretagogue with the strongest GH release of the GHRP family. Less appetite stimulation than GHRP-6.

Molecular Weight

817.9 Da

Half-Life

~15-60 minutes

Hexarelin

Experimental

Growth Hormone Peptides

The most potent GHRP for acute GH release but subject to desensitization with chronic use. Also has cardioprotective properties independent of GH.

Molecular Weight

887.0 Da

Half-Life

~70 minutes

MK-677

Investigational (Phase 2 completed)

Growth Hormone Peptides

An orally active, non-peptide growth hormone secretagogue. Mimics ghrelin to stimulate sustained GH and IGF-1 elevation over 24 hours.

Molecular Weight

528.7 Da

Half-Life

~24 hours
