Areas of Research - Muscle Growth and Physical Performance
Share
This area includes peptides that may help increase muscle mass, accelerate recovery from physical stress, enhance protein synthesis, or support growth hormone pathways. Some peptides stimulate the body’s own production of growth hormone, while others work downstream by promoting muscle cell growth directly.
Current Focus:
These peptides are being examined for use in sports recovery, age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia), injury rehab, and performance enhancement. While many are studied in healthy muscle models, some research also focuses on degenerative muscle conditions.
Peptides Studied:
- IGF-1 LR3 – Supports muscle cell proliferation and protein synthesis
- CJC-1295 – GHRH analog studied for increasing natural growth hormone release
- Ipamorelin – Growth hormone secretagogue with minimal cortisol effects
- Sermorelin – Stimulates GH release via pituitary signaling
- TB-500 – Studied for muscle repair, recovery, and tissue regeneration
- BPC-157 – Known for recovery, but also studied for muscle, tendon, and ligament repair
