Peptide Research Overview

Current state of clinical research for peptides in our catalog, updated for 2025

Beauty

✨ GHK-Cu

The Copper Peptide

Animal Studies: In rodent models, GHK-Cu accelerates wound closure, increases collagen density, and reduces scarring. Mouse studies show improved hair follicle growth and skin elasticity. Recent 2025 research demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects in colitis models via SIRT1/STAT3 pathways.

Potential Applications: If future clinical trials succeed, GHK-Cu could support wound healing therapies, anti-aging skincare formulations, hair loss treatments, and inflammatory condition management. Currently used in cosmetic research.

πŸ’« BPC-157

Body Protection Compound

Animal Studies: Extensive rat/mouse research shows accelerated healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and GI tract. Studies demonstrate protection against NSAID-induced gastric damage, improved bone healing, and neuroprotective effects. Rodent models show faster recovery from surgical incisions and reduced inflammation.

Potential Applications: If IND trials advance, BPC-157 may support musculoskeletal injury recovery, gut health therapies, and tissue repair protocols. Currently limited to 3 small human pilotsβ€”more research needed before clinical use.

🌟 TB-500

Thymosin Beta-4 Fragment

Animal Studies: Rodent wound models show 42% improved healing at day 4 and 61% at day 7 vs controls. Equine research demonstrates reduced inflammation in tendons and soft tissue. Studies in cardiac tissue show potential for post-injury regeneration. Corneal repair trials in animals led to human topical studies.

Potential Applications: Clinical trials focus on topical corneal repair and dry eye. Future research may explore soft tissue injuries, cardiac regeneration, and dermal wound healing if systemic safety data expands.

⏳ Epitalon

The Telomere Peptide

Animal Studies: Russian research on aged rats showed increased lifespan and delayed age-related changes. Campbell rat studies demonstrated telomerase reactivation in somatic cells. Mouse models show improved pineal gland function and melatonin regulation. Recent 2025 cell line studies confirm dose-dependent telomere extension.

Potential Applications: Russian clinical use for 30+ years in retinal degeneration (162-patient trial). If Western trials progress, Epitalon may support longevity research, age-related vision decline, and cellular rejuvenation studies.

⚑ NAD+

The Energy Molecule

Animal Studies: Mouse models show NAD+ precursors (NR, NMN) improve mitochondrial function, insulin sensitivity, and exercise capacity in aged mice. Studies demonstrate neuroprotective effects, improved cardiovascular function, and extended healthspan in rodents. 2024 research reveals gut microbiome involvement in NAD+ metabolism.

Potential Applications: Multiple Phase 2 human trials ongoing for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, heart failure, and metabolic disorders. The most clinically advanced peptide with promising data on cognitive function, energy metabolism, and healthy aging biomarkers.

FDA Guidance for Researchers

Understanding the regulatory landscape for peptide research

πŸ“‹ Research Use Only

Research peptides are for laboratory and scientific research only. Not approved for human or veterinary use.

  • RUO peptides cannot be used in compounding
  • Proper documentation is essential
  • Follow institutional guidelines

πŸ”¬ FDA Category System

The FDA categorizes bulk drug substances for compounding. Category 2 substances have identified safety concerns.

  • BPC-157: Category 2 (Sept 2023)
  • Epitalon: Category 2 (Sept 2023)
  • Always verify current status

βš–οΈ IND Applications

Clinical research requires an Investigational New Drug application, IRB approval, and qualified investigators.

  • Formal study protocols required
  • Patient safety monitoring
  • Data reporting to FDA
