What are GLP-1 receptor agonists?
GLP-1 receptor agonists explained: what the incretin hormone GLP-1 does, what "agonist" means, and how modern versions are engineered to last for days.
Approved medicineHalf-life & pharmacology2 minWhat are growth hormone secretagogues?
Growth-hormone secretagogues explained: the two receptor families (GHRH analogs and ghrelin/GHS agonists), why they are paired, and where each compound fits.
Concept / methodCompound overviews4 minWhat is TB-500?
TB-500 explained with the literature: how this thymosin β4 fragment sequesters actin to drive cell migration, and the crucial catch — the human trials tested eye drops, not muscle injections.
PreclinicalCompound overviews4 minWhat is ipamorelin?
Ipamorelin explained with the literature: a five-amino-acid peptide that triggers a pulse of your own growth hormone, why "selective" is its whole story, and an honest look at a mostly preclinical evidence base.
PreclinicalCompound overviews4 minWhat is CJC-1295?
CJC-1295 explained with the human data: a GHRH analog, the crucial DAC vs no-DAC fork, and the 2006 trial that measured a 6–8 day half-life and days-long IGF-1 rises in healthy adults.
Human clinical dataCompound overviews3 minWhat is semaglutide?
Semaglutide explained plainly: how this GLP-1 medication mimics a gut hormone, what the big human trials actually showed (STEP 1: ~15% weight loss), and the brands it sells under.
Approved medicineCompound overviews3 minWhat is tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide explained plainly: the "twincretin" that hits two gut-hormone receptors, why it is called imbalanced, and what SURMOUNT-1 showed (up to ~21% weight loss).
Approved medicineCompound overviews3 minWhat is HCG?
HCG explained: human chorionic gonadotropin, why it acts like luteinizing hormone, why it is dosed in International Units instead of milligrams, and its TRT-adjacent research context.
Approved medicineCompound overviews3 minWhat is anastrozole?
Anastrozole explained: an aromatase inhibitor that blocks testosterone-to-estrogen conversion, its ~50-hour half-life from the FDA label, and its TRT-adjacent research context. Education only.
Approved medicineCompound overviews3 minWhat is testosterone cypionate?
Testosterone cypionate explained: plain testosterone plus an ester that controls its release, why that stretches the half-life to about 8 days, and how it compares to enanthate.
Approved medicineCompound overviews3 minWhat are research peptides?
A plain-language primer on research peptides: what a peptide actually is, what "research compound" honestly means, the main families, and how to read the wildly different evidence behind each.
Concept / methodCompound overviews5 minWhat is GHK-Cu (copper peptide)?
GHK-Cu explained with the literature: the copper tripeptide Pickart discovered in 1973, what cell and topical-skin studies show for collagen and wound healing, and why injectable evidence is thin.
