Muscle & Performance
Peptides appearing in muscle growth, performance, and growth hormone research, summarized for educational context.
Follistatin-344
A myostatin-related research peptide used for lean mass potential.
What to expect: Muscle fullness can increase if training is already hard. This is a stronger, less beginner-friendly growth peptide.
HGH-191AA
Recombinant somatropin, the intact growth hormone used in approved deficiency treatment and studied for body composition.
What to expect: Sleep, recovery, and lean mass can improve more clearly than with secretagogues, with more water retention and acne risk.
IGF-1 LR3
A long-acting analogue of insulin-like growth factor 1, studied in laboratory research for its role in muscle cell growth and repair signaling.
What to expect: Muscles may feel fuller, stronger, and quicker to repair because growth and nutrient uptake signals are turned up more directly than with GH peptides.
Tesamorelin
A growth hormone releasing hormone analogue studied for visceral fat reduction, GH signaling, and body-composition research.
What to expect: Midsection fat may drop gradually as GH rises, with better sleep and recovery and some water retention.
PEG-MGF
A longer-acting MGF analog used around training for local muscle repair.
What to expect: Sore muscles may recover a little faster when shots stay near the trained area. Fullness is modest compared with IGF-1 LR3.
CJC-1295
A growth hormone releasing hormone analogue studied for growth hormone signaling, IGF-1 release, and muscle-related research.
What to expect: Sleep, recovery, and lean body composition can improve as growth hormone rises, giving skin, joints, and training recovery a steadier lift over a cycle.
GHRP-2
A GH-releasing peptide that raises growth hormone pulses and often hunger.
What to expect: Sleep and recovery can improve, with a clear appetite bump after the shot. Hunger is stronger than with ipamorelin.
GHRP-6
A GH-releasing peptide known for a strong hunger signal along with the GH pulse.
What to expect: Appetite can jump fast after a dose. Sleep and recovery may improve, but hunger is the first thing most people notice.
Ipamorelin
A selective growth hormone secretagogue investigated for targeted growth hormone release and recovery signaling.
What to expect: A clean growth hormone pulse that can improve sleep, recovery, and body composition without the heavier side effects of other GHRPs.
Sermorelin
A short GHRH analogue studied for pulsatile growth hormone release, sleep, and recovery research.
What to expect: Sleep and recovery can improve first, with lean-mass changes showing up slowly if training is already solid.

A myostatin-related research peptide used for lean mass potential.
What to expect: Muscle fullness can increase if training is already hard. This is a stronger, less beginner-friendly growth peptide.
