Ipamorelin is a growth hormone secretagogue that selectively stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone without greatly affecting other hormones like cortisol or prolactin. Its action is thought to involve the ghrelin receptor, mimicking the natural hormone ghrelin

MOTS-c is a peptide encoded by the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene that regulates stress adaptation, energy metabolism, and aging-related processes. They are encoded by mitochondrial DNA and influence energy production and use. These peptides activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an enzyme that plays a key role in maintaining energy balance. This activation improves glucose metabolism and boosts insulin sensitivity. MOTS-c peptides also help cells respond to stress, improving mitochondrial function and overall metabolic health. Because of these benefits, they are being explored as a potential treatment for metabolic issues like obesity and type 2 diabetes

Peptides like TB500 and GHK-Cu are becoming popular in medical studies. They are highly specific and generally well-tolerated. Unlike many drugs, they have low risks of triggering immune reactions. This makes them an exciting area of study. Researchers are exploring safer and more targeted therapies.
