1

MK-677

ResearchGrowth Hormone

An oral, non-peptide growth hormone secretagogue that elevates GH and IGF-1 levels for up to 24 hours. Popular for its convenience and effects on sleep, bone density, and body composition.

Half-life: ~5 hours (IGF-1 elevation ~24h)Dose: 10–25 mg daily
2

Sermorelin

ResearchGrowth Hormone

A bioidentical analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). The bedrock of clinical anti-aging endocrinology, prescribed to safely restore youthful IGF-1 levels and improve sleep.

Half-life: ~10–20 minutesDose: 200–300 mcg before bed
3

PT-141

FDA ApprovedSexual Health

An FDA-approved melanocortin receptor agonist for hypoactive sexual desire disorder. Unlike Viagra, PT-141 acts on the central nervous system to induce arousal rather than relying on blood flow.

Half-life: ~2.7 hoursDose: 1.75 mg
4

Ipamorelin

ResearchGrowth Hormone

The cleanest growth hormone secretagogue available, delivering potent GH pulses without triggering hunger, cortisol, or prolactin spikes. The premier choice for year-round anti-aging protocols.

Half-life: ~2 hoursDose: 200–300 mcg
5

CJC-1295

ResearchGrowth Hormone

A modified GHRH analog that delivers intense, acute GH spikes mimicking natural nocturnal pulses. Almost always stacked with Ipamorelin for synergistic, non-suppressive GH release.

Half-life: ~30 minutes (no DAC)Dose: 100–200 mcg
6

AOD-9604

ResearchFat Loss

A modified fragment of human growth hormone isolated to replicate fat-burning capability without altering IGF-1 levels or causing insulin resistance.

Half-life: ~30 minutesDose: 250–500 mcg daily
7

Tesamorelin

FDA ApprovedGrowth Hormone

An FDA-approved GHRH analog with extraordinary specificity for reducing visceral adipose tissue. Originally designed for HIV-associated lipodystrophy.

Half-life: ~26–38 minutesDose: 1–2 mg daily
8

GHRP-2

ResearchGrowth Hormone

A potent growth hormone secretagogue that induces massive GH release with moderate appetite stimulation. Stronger than Ipamorelin but with more side effects.

Half-life: ~15–60 minutesDose: 100–300 mcg
9

GHRP-6

ResearchGrowth Hormone

A first-generation GH secretagogue known for intense appetite stimulation and powerful GH release. Favored in bulking protocols and for resolving chronic cachexia.

Half-life: ~15–60 minutesDose: 100–300 mcg
10

CJC-1295 with DAC

ResearchGrowth Hormone

A long-acting GHRH analog that binds to blood albumin, providing continuous GH and IGF-1 elevation for over a week from a single injection.

Half-life: ~5.8–8.1 daysDose: 1–2 mg weekly
11

Hexarelin

ResearchGrowth Hormone

The most potent synthetic GH secretagogue, with unique cardioprotective properties. Known for rapid receptor desensitization requiring strict 4–6 week cycling.

Half-life: ~70 minutesDose: 100–200 mcg
12

HGH Fragment 176-191

ResearchFat Loss

An isolated C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone engineered to deliver pure fat-burning without growth-promoting or diabetogenic effects.

Half-life: ~30 minutesDose: 250–500 mcg daily
13

Gonadorelin

ResearchHormone Support

The bioidentical synthetic equivalent of GnRH, used to preserve testicular volume and spermatogenesis during TRT. Requires pulsatile dosing.

Half-life: ~4 minutesDose: 100–200 mcg twice weekly
14

Kisspeptin

ResearchSexual Health

The upstream master switch of the reproductive HPG axis. The cleanest method to restore endogenous testosterone and support fertility without HPTA suppression.

Half-life: ~28 minutesDose: 100–200 mcg
15

Enclomiphene

ResearchHormone Support

The purified trans-isomer of Clomid, regarded as the premier SERM for male testosterone optimization. Forces massive endogenous testosterone production without testicular shrinkage.

Half-life: ~10 hoursDose: 12.5–25 mg daily
16

Triptorelin

FDA ApprovedClinical

A potent GnRH agonist used for prostate cancer suppression and as a single-shot HPTA restart protocol after prolonged steroid use.

Half-life: ~3–5 hoursDose: 100 mcg (single PCT dose) or depot injection (clinical)
17

Sermorelin + Ipamorelin

ResearchGrowth Hormone

The 'Golden Ratio' of clinical anti-aging: a GHRH + GHRP combination that produces synergistic GH release exceeding either peptide alone.

Half-life: ~10–30 min (sermorelin) / ~2 hours (ipamorelin)Dose: 100 mcg each, combined before bed
18

Macimorelin

FDA ApprovedGrowth Hormone

An FDA-approved oral ghrelin receptor agonist used as a diagnostic tool for adult growth hormone deficiency.

Half-life: ~4–6 hoursDose: 0.5 mg/kg single oral dose (diagnostic)
19

Tabimorelin

ResearchGrowth Hormone

A potent oral GH secretagogue that reached Phase II clinical trials. Though shelved commercially, it remains a testament to oral secretagogue engineering.

Half-life: ~2 hoursDose: Research dosing
20

Ghrelin

ResearchGrowth Hormone

The endogenous 28-amino-acid hunger hormone from which all synthetic GHRPs are derived. Used to treat cancer cachexia and gastroparesis.

Half-life: ~30 minutesDose: 1–5 mcg/kg
21

Testagen

ResearchBioregulator

A Khavinson tripeptide for male testicular function, restoring testosterone production and reversing Leydig cell senescence.

Half-life: ~30 minutesDose: 10 mg daily (oral, cycled)
22

Testoluten

ResearchBioregulator

A Cytomax testicular bioregulator for full-scope male endocrine rejuvenation including testosterone and spermatogenesis.

Half-life: ~30 minutesDose: Per bioregulator protocol
