Muscle Growth & Performance Support

This category includes peptides being studied for their potential to support muscle growth, enhance recovery from physical stress, improve protein synthesis, and stimulate growth hormone pathways.

Some peptides encourage the body's natural production of growth hormone, while others are being researched for their direct effects on muscle development and tissue repair.

Current Research Focus

These peptides are being investigated for their potential role in:

• Supporting lean muscle growth
• Enhancing recovery after exercise
• Improving protein synthesis
• Assisting injury rehabilitation
• Supporting age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia)
• Promoting muscle repair and regeneration
• Performance and exercise recovery research

Peptides Being Studied

IGF-1 LR3

• Studied for muscle cell proliferation
• Supports protein synthesis
• May promote lean muscle development

CJC-1295

• Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analogue
• Studied for increasing natural growth hormone secretion
• May support recovery, body composition and muscle growth

Ipamorelin

• Growth hormone secretagogue
• Studied for stimulating natural GH release
• Minimal reported effects on cortisol and prolactin compared with some other GH secretagogues

Sermorelin

• Stimulates growth hormone release through pituitary signalling
• Studied for supporting recovery, lean muscle mass and healthy ageing

TB-500

• Studied for muscle repair and tissue regeneration
• May support flexibility, recovery and healing following physical stress

BPC-157

• Widely studied for tissue repair and recovery
• Research includes muscle, tendon and ligament healing
• Commonly investigated alongside rehabilitation protocols
