Retatrutide and semaglutide are two popular weight-loss peptides. Both are backed by multiple clinical studies showing significant weight loss, but unfortunately, there aren’t any studies of a combined treatment.We can assume that you’re likely to see greater weight loss from taking them together. However, you’re also likely to experience more side effects.Ultimately, it depends on […]
Growth hormone (GH) plays a crucial role in human development, metabolism, and overall health. As interest in optimizing GH levels has grown, researchers have developed synthetic peptides that can stimulate its production and release. Two main categories of these peptides are Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides (GHRPs) and Growth Hormone Releasing Hormones (GHRHs). While both ultimately […]
Proper storage of peptides is crucial for maintaining their stability and effectiveness in scientific research and therapeutic applications. Peptides are susceptible to degradation when exposed to unfavorable conditions such as temperature extremes, moisture, light, and oxygen. Here’s what you need to know to maximize the longevity and efficacy of these valuable molecules with proper storage. […]
Popular podcaster Chris Williamson recently did an episode on the peptide weight loss drug Ozempic. He talked with Scottish journalist and author Johann Hari, who is known for his deep work on various health topics. Hari recently wrote the book”The Magic Pill,” which discusses the new generation of weight loss drugs — such as Ozempic […]
Reconstituting research peptides is a crucial step in scientific experiments involving these versatile molecules. Proper reconstitution ensures the peptides are in a usable form, maintaining their stability and effectiveness for accurate results. This article will guide you through the process, covering the essential materials, step-by-step instructions, and best practices for storage and handling. Whether you’re […]
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring peptide molecule found in the human body. Initially discovered for its role in wound healing, GHK-Cu has garnered attention for its potential benefits in skincare and overall health. This peptide is believed to stimulate collagen production, act as an antioxidant, and possess anti-inflammatory properties. Interest in GHK-Cu is primarily focused on […]
Popular health and science podcaster Andrew Huberman covered peptides in his recent April 1, 2024 episode. Titled “Benefits & Risks of Peptide Therapeutics for Physical & Mental Health,” the episode offers a basic explanation of what peptides are, a look at the most popular ones, and an explanation of their benefits and risks. We highly […]
Peptides are tiny molecules made of small parts called amino acids, which are also the building blocks of proteins (1). Peptides help repair damage, signal for hormone production, support the immune system, and much more. They occur naturally in our bodies and can also be made in a lab. Healthcare researchers have been working with […]
