Best Peptides for Muscle Growth
Growth hormone secretagogues (Ipamorelin, CJC-1295, MK-677, Hexarelin, GHRP-2, GHRP-6), IGF-1 analogs (IGF-1 LR3, IGF-1 DES, MGF), and myostatin inhibitors (ACE-031, Follistatin-344) dominate the muscle-growth peptide literature. Each entry below links to the full research profile with study counts and trial-phase data.
Ranked by approved-study count. 4 peptides in this category.
Growth Hormone Secretagogue | Selective GHRP
### Summary Ipamorelin is a synthetic peptide that acts as a selective agonist of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, primarily stimulating growth hormone release. Its potential therapeutic applications are being explored in various contexts, including weight management and pain modulation.
Examorelin | Synthetic Growth Hormone Secretagogue
### Hexarelin Summary Hexarelin is a synthetic hexapeptide that belongs to the growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) class, known for its ability to stimulate growth hormone release from the pituitary gland. It has been investigated for its potential therapeutic applications in various conditions, including muscle wasting and age-related decline in growth hormone levels.
GHRH Analog | Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone
### Summary Sermorelin is a synthetic peptide that mimics growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), stimulating the pituitary gland to produce and release endogenous growth hormone. It has been investigated for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in the context of growth hormone deficiencies and other related conditions.
GHRH Analog | Visceral Fat Reduction
### Tesamorelin Summary Tesamorelin is a synthetic peptide that functions as a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog, primarily investigated for its potential to reduce visceral fat in individuals with HIV-associated lipodystrophy. Its role in metabolic health and body composition continues to be explored in various clinical contexts.
