CJC-1295

Growth Hormone Peptides

A synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Available with or without Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) which extends half-life.

3367.9 Da (no DAC) / 3647.3 Da (with DAC)t½: 30 min (no DAC) / 6-8 days (with DAC)Experimental

Ipamorelin

Growth Hormone Peptides

A selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) that stimulates GH release without significantly affecting cortisol, prolactin, or ACTH.

711.9 Dat½: ~2 hoursExperimental

Sermorelin

Growth Hormone Peptides

The first 29 amino acids of GHRH. Stimulates natural GH production and release from the pituitary. Considered a more physiological approach than exogenous GH.

3357.9 Dat½: ~10-20 minutesPreviously FDA Approved (discontinued commercially)

Tesamorelin

Growth Hormone Peptides

A synthetic GHRH analog FDA-approved for reducing excess abdominal fat in HIV-associated lipodystrophy. Also studied for cognitive benefits and NAFLD.

5135.9 Dat½: ~26 minutes (but sustained GH elevation)FDA Approved (HIV lipodystrophy)

GHRP-6

Growth Hormone Peptides

A first-generation growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates GH release via the ghrelin receptor. Known for strongly increasing appetite.

873.0 Dat½: ~15-60 minutesExperimental

GHRP-2

Growth Hormone Peptides

A second-generation growth hormone secretagogue with the strongest GH release of the GHRP family. Less appetite stimulation than GHRP-6.

817.9 Dat½: ~15-60 minutesApproved in Japan (diagnostic use)

Hexarelin

Growth Hormone Peptides

The most potent GHRP for acute GH release but subject to desensitization with chronic use. Also has cardioprotective properties independent of GH.

887.0 Dat½: ~70 minutesExperimental

MK-677

Growth Hormone Peptides

An orally active, non-peptide growth hormone secretagogue. Mimics ghrelin to stimulate sustained GH and IGF-1 elevation over 24 hours.

528.7 Dat½: ~24 hoursInvestigational (Phase 2 completed)
