Monday's Peptide
& more.
Every Monday, a new peptide spotlight — what it is, what research has looked at, and where it fits in the broader picture. Plus other educational articles when something's worth diving into. Clear, honest, no hype.
Ipamorelin: the gentle GH peptide
A small, selective growth hormone secretagogue with a reputation for being one of the cleaner compounds in its class. Often paired with CJC-1295, and one of the most-discussed in the GH-axis category.
Read the post →Tesamorelin: the GHRH peptide
A synthetic version of growth hormone releasing hormone, and one of the few peptides in the broader category with full FDA approval. How it works upstream of the pituitary, and where it sits.
Read the post →TB-500: the recovery peptide
A synthetic fragment of thymosin beta-4 — a protein your body uses to coordinate repair after injury. Studied for tissue repair, recovery, and flexibility, and frequently paired with BPC-157.
Read the post →Tirzepatide: the dual-agonist
The FDA-approved peptide driving today's metabolic health conversation. A dual GLP-1/GIP agonist with substantial clinical evidence — a different category from most research peptides.
Read the post →GHK-Cu: the copper peptide
A naturally-occurring tripeptide bound to copper, studied for skin, hair, and wound healing. Production drops sharply with age — which is part of why supplementing it has become so well-researched.
Read the post →MOTS-c: the mitochondrial peptide
One of the only peptides encoded directly in mitochondrial DNA. Nicknamed the "exercise mimetic" peptide because many of its effects mirror what happens during exercise.
Read the post →BPC-157: the healing peptide
Originally derived from a protective compound found in gastric juice. One of the most-discussed peptides in recovery and healing circles — here is what the research actually shows.
Read the post →FOXO4-DRI: the "zombie cell" peptide
A senolytic peptide designed to selectively eliminate aged, dysfunctional cells — while leaving healthy ones alone. One of the most experimental, and most fascinating, compounds in longevity research right now.
