You’ve probably noticed how quickly peptides have burst onto the scene. In most cases, this is due to interest in biohacking. However, many peptides are still not approved in the United States and are classified as research peptides. This is true of both BPC-157 and TB-500 – these compounds are still not approved as drugs,…

The term “melanocortin” is most often associated with tanning and pigmentation. The history of research into the melanocortin system did indeed begin with melanocytes. However, today, this single receptor family encompasses molecules with very different effects, regulatory statuses, and roles in medicine and science. PT-141 is an approved prescription drug. Melanotan 2 is an unapproved…

The topic of telomeres and cellular aging has long ceased to be purely academic. As soon as data showing that telomere length correlates with biological age became freely available, interest in molecules that could potentially influence telomerase activity spread far beyond the confines of laboratories. Epitalon has emerged as one of the most discussed compounds…
