Long-acting IGF-1 analog with extended half-life that promotes muscle hyperplasia and hypertrophy.
Binds IGF-1 receptors with extended half-life, activates PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways, enhances protein synthesis and nutrient uptake, promotes satellite cell proliferation and differentiation, induces muscle hyperplasia (new cell formation) and hypertrophy.
* Dosing should be individualized. Always consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner.
Preclinical studies, bodybuilding community data
Well-characterized mechanisms in vitro and animal models. No clinical trials for muscle growth in humans. Widely used in bodybuilding with anecdotal support but lacking formal human safety/efficacy data.
Synthetic GHRH analog FDA-approved for reducing visceral adipose tissue in HIV-associated lipodystrophy.
Potent hexapeptide ghrelin mimetic with strong GH-releasing effects and cardioprotective properties.
Long-acting GHRH analog that stimulates sustained growth hormone release.
