Peptide Index

By Evan Marsh, EditorUpdated 22 full guides, 140 research records

Every compound this site covers, organized by what it is studied for. The badge on each card states the evidence class honestly: a compound with only rodent data says so. Each guide cites its primary sources, and the research database holds every citation in one filterable list.

Weight & Metabolic

CagriSema

Human data

Cagrilintide plus semaglutide — the only compound in this class built on amylin rather than a second incretin receptor. Strong Phase 3 numbers, and it lost the one head-to-head trial it ran.

Repair & Recovery

Growth Hormone

CJC-1295

Human data

GHRH analog sold in two forms that behave nothing alike: with DAC a single dose lasts days, without DAC about thirty minutes. Human studies measured hormone levels, never outcomes.

Orally active ghrelin mimetic — not a peptide. Unusually well studied for this catalog: a two-year randomized trial, a failed Alzheimer's trial, and a hip-fracture trial stopped early for a heart-failure signal.

Sermorelin

Human data

GHRH(1-29) — a formerly FDA-approved drug (Geref) for pediatric growth hormone deficiency, discontinued for business reasons. The anti-aging use rests on hormone-level studies, not outcome trials.

Mitochondrial & Longevity

Skin & Cosmetic

GHK-Cu

Mixed evidence

Copper tripeptide with strong in-vitro collagen data, one largely negative randomised human trial of the topical form, and no human data for the injected form.

Sexual Function

Inflammation & Gut

Adjacent Compounds

Dihexa

Animal data only

Angiotensin IV-derived compound studied for cognition in rodents. The paper behind its famous potency claim was retracted in 2025, and no human trial has ever been published.
