Selank is a synthetic analogue of the immunopeptide tuftsin with a Pro-Gly-Pro extension, studied for anxiolytic effects without sedation in preclinical models.

Semax is a synthetic analogue of ACTH(4-10) with a Pro-Gly-Pro extension, studied for BDNF modulation and neuroprotection in preclinical models.

Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) studied in telomerase and pineal signalling research. Origins, claims, and the state of the evidence.

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA that activates AMPK. What a mitochondrial-derived peptide is and why it matters.

SS-31 (elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that binds cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mechanism, accumulation, and research status.

Tesamorelin is a 44-amino-acid GHRH analogue that raises growth hormone while preserving IGF-1 feedback. Mechanism, why it differs from direct GH, and its Phase III data.

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide that stimulates collagen synthesis in fibroblasts at picomolar concentrations. Mechanism, matrix remodelling, and what the evidence actually supports.

BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide with no known dedicated receptor. What the preclinical literature shows, the VEGFR2 pathway, and the human evidence gap.

Bacteriostatic water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol; sterile water contains no preservative. What that means for multiple-dose vials, shelf life and diluent choice.

A step-by-step laboratory protocol for reconstituting lyophilised peptides, including the technique that prevents foaming and the mistakes that degrade material.
