AbaloparatideA synthetic analogue of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP 1–34) that selectively activates the PTH1 receptor to build bone.Angiotensin-(1-7)A heptapeptide of the renin–angiotensin system that tends to counter angiotensin II — the "protective arm" of the ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/Mas axis.In stock · research overviewARA-290 (Cibinetide)An 11-amino-acid peptide from erythropoietin’s helix B that activates the "innate repair receptor" without stimulating red-cell production.In stock · research overviewBPC-157BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protective sequence found in human gastric juice.In stock · research overviewGlow Blend (BPC-157 · TB-500 · GHK-Cu blend)The Glow blend is a blend rather than a single compound, and no published study has evaluated this specific three-peptide combination — the evidence below is the literature for each constituent, cited separately.GLP-2 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-2)A 33-amino-acid gut hormone co-secreted with GLP-1 that drives growth and repair of the intestinal lining.In stock · research overviewKLOW (GHK-Cu · BPC-157 · TB-500 · KPV blend)KLOW is a blend rather than a single compound, and no published study has evaluated this specific four-peptide combination — the evidence below is the literature for each constituent, cited separately.In stock · research overviewKPVKPV is the C-terminal tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone.Larazotide AcetateAn 8-amino-acid tight-junction regulator designed to reduce intestinal permeability, studied mainly in coeliac disease.LinaclotideA 14-amino-acid gut-acting peptide that activates guanylate cyclase-C on intestinal cells — one of the few oral peptide drugs.LL-37The only human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide — a 37-residue host-defence peptide with antimicrobial, anti-biofilm and immune-signalling activity.Relaxin (Serelaxin)An insulin-family peptide hormone of pregnancy that remodels connective tissue, studied for anti-fibrotic and cardiovascular effects.Salmon CalcitoninA 32-amino-acid thyroid hormone (salmon form) that inhibits bone resorption, used for decades in osteoporosis and Paget’s disease.In stock · research overviewTB-500 (Thymosin beta-4)Thymosin beta-4 — the parent molecule of the TB-500 fragment — is a naturally occurring 43-amino-acid actin-sequestering protein.TeduglutideA degradation-resistant analogue of glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), approved for short bowel syndrome.TeriparatideThe 1–34 fragment of human parathyroid hormone — the first bone-building (anabolic) osteoporosis medicine.Thymopentin (TP-5)A synthetic pentapeptide matching the active site (residues 32–36) of the thymic hormone thymopoietin, studied as an immunomodulator.Thymosin Alpha-1A 28-amino-acid thymic peptide that modulates T-cell and dendritic-cell function, registered as a medicine in a number of countries.ThymulinA zinc-dependent nonapeptide hormone produced only by thymic epithelial cells, studied for immune and neuroendocrine regulation.In stock · research overviewVIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide)A 28-amino-acid neuropeptide of the secretin/glucagon family with vasodilatory, secretory and immune-modulating actions.In stock · research overviewWolverine Blend (BPC-157 · TB-500 blend)The Wolverine blend is a blend rather than a single compound, and no published study has evaluated this specific two-peptide combination — the evidence below is the literature for each constituent, cited separately.
