Research & Insight

People interested in peptide research are bound to come across the name “Khavinson” at some point. A prolific Russian scientist, Khavinson specialized in anti-aging applications of peptides. He spent over four decades studying and developing peptide therapies, publishing hundreds of papers and developing dozens of peptide products in the process. […]

In peptide therapy and research, “stacking” refers to combining multiple peptides to enhance their effects synergistically. In the context of stacking GLP-1s, that means combining two weight-loss peptides like semaglutide and cagrilintide for even greater effects. In the words of researchers, “combining obesity medications with different mechanisms of action might […]

Growth hormone secretagogues (GH secretagogues) are artificial compounds that stimulate the body’s natural production and release of growth hormone. They can impart benefits like improved sleep, energy, skin, and exercise recovery.  Unlike synthetic growth hormone, these peptides work by boosting the body’s natural GH production. GH secretagogues like ipamorelin have […]

Split dosing refers to dividing a single GLP-1 weight loss peptide dose into multiple doses. For example,  a patient taking 2.5 mg of tirzepatide per week might split that dose into 1.25 mg on Monday and 1.25 mg on Thursday.  Similar to microdosing GLP-1s, split-dosing is sometimes done to: Reduce […]

Microdosing GLP-1 peptides is a new trend in weight loss circles. It’s growing in popularity thanks to perceived benefits like a lower risk of side effects and preserving muscle mass. But is microdosing worth it? And what kind of doses are used? Short answer: yes, microdosing can help minimize side […]

Weight loss peptides are growing incredibly popular. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) in particular has become one of the most popular peptides for weight loss, but there are many newer generation peptides coming out as well.  One such new-generation peptide is survodutide, which works through slightly different mechanisms. Let’s break down what these […]

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. Having said that, here’s all the useful info we can gleam the research evidence on the effects and safety of combining […]

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 […]
