Research notes, vendor breakdowns, and everything I've learned digging into the peptide research space — real research, no fluff.
Blend Breakdowns
GHK-Cu, Epithalon, NAD+ and Glutathione: ingredient studies, possible mechanistic connections, blend compatibility and the honest research gaps.
The EPO-derived peptide with real human trials — every Phase 2 study, the nerve-regrowth findings, the honest gaps, and where the research ran out. No fluff.
Lilly's eloralintide + tirzepatide combo hit 23.3% weight loss in Phase 2b. Here's what the data shows, the side effect catch, and what's next.
Pink gluta, Orange Dreamsicle, plain vials — gluta is gluta. What glutathione actually does, what human trials found across skin, liver, immune and aging research, and why the name on the box is branding, not chemistry.
Cartalax (AED peptide) is Russia's cartilage-specific bioregulator, drawing on 40+ years of Russian research. Mechanism, Russian human data (68% OA pain-relief findings in reported studies), collagen loss stats, comparison to BPC-157, and sourcing.
Detailed comparison of tirzepatide and retatrutide: dual vs. triple receptor agonism, phase 2/3 trial data, observed adverse events, and current regulatory status. Evidence-based analysis.
Eloralintide is Eli Lilly's next investigational amylin peptide after retatrutide — a selective amylin receptor agonist with 20% weight-loss findings in Phase 2 trial data. Mechanism, research, and an honest take.
KPV isn't Melanotan. A simple, honest breakdown of KPV's PepT1/NF-κB mechanism, gut and skin research, legal status by country, and safety.
Zen Blend research review — PE 22-28, Pinealon, N-Acetyl Semax & N-Acetyl Selank. What the research says about this calm-focus peptide combo, explained simply.
Inside True Amino Labs' Aphrodite Blend — MOTS-c, 5-Amino-1MQ, Lipo Pure, Glutathione, and NAD+. Mechanisms, formulation rationale, and how the compounds interact.
30+ years of BPC-157 research — angiogenesis, tendon and gut healing, brain and spinal cord studies, organ protection, and the honest human data gap.
GHK-Cu isn't just skincare — it modulates 4,000+ genes and is studied for wound-healing, hair, and tissue-remodeling effects in research models.
5-Amino-1MQ is studied for NNMT inhibition, NAD+ salvage, and fat metabolism in animal models. Here's what the Orange Crush research actually shows.
Retatrutide research guide: triple-agonist mechanism, Phase 2 and Phase 3 trial data, liver-fat findings, reported adverse events and current regulatory status.
BPC-157 and TB-500 combined is the Wolverine Blend — one of the most-researched peptide combinations in the tissue-repair literature. Real research, honest sourcing, and where to find it.
After years of watching the weight-loss industry sell one broken promise after another, I started digging into the actual research behind peptides — what the studies show, and what they don't. Here's what I found.
