Muscle Growth & Performance

What labs study it for

Growth-hormone research with a two-peptide mixture. Labs use it to study how two different growth-hormone signals, acting through two different receptors, combine in cell and animal models.

What this compound is

A supplier-defined blend of tesamorelin 10 mg and ipamorelin 5 mg in one lyophilized vial — note the components are not in equal amounts. Both are also listed individually in this catalog. As a mixture it has no single CAS number, molecular formula or molecular weight of its own; per-component purity is given on the lot certificate of analysis. Laboratories that need defined single-compound material should order the components individually. Not approved for any medical use.

Chemical description

Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin Blend. Supplied lyophilized. Lot-specific HPLC and MS documentation accompanies each unit.

What labs study it for

Growth-hormone research. Labs use this long-lasting version of a growth-hormone-releasing signal to study how sustained receptor activation behaves, and how attaching a molecule to blood proteins extends its lifetime.

What this compound is

CJC-1295 with DAC is a synthetic analogue of a growth-hormone-releasing hormone fragment, carrying a Drug Affinity Complex group that binds serum albumin and greatly extends its circulating half-life. Laboratories use it as a long-acting GHRH-receptor agonist tool in endocrine signalling studies. It is not approved for any medical use in any jurisdiction.

What labs study it for

Growth-hormone research. Labs use it as a standard reference signal for the growth-hormone-releasing receptor, a baseline to compare other compounds against.

What this compound is

Sermorelin is a synthetic peptide corresponding to the first 29 amino acids of growth-hormone-releasing hormone, the shortest fragment that retains full receptor activity. Laboratories use it as a reference GHRH-receptor agonist in endocrine studies. Sermorelin was formerly marketed as an approved drug product in the United States; the material supplied here is a laboratory reagent and is not that product.

What labs study it for

Growth-hormone research. Labs use it because it acts on just one receptor (the ghrelin receptor), letting them study that single pathway without switching on others.

What this compound is

Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide developed as a selective agonist at the growth-hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a), the receptor that also responds to the hormone ghrelin. That selectivity is what makes it useful in the laboratory: it isolates GHS-R1a signalling from other endocrine pathways in cell and animal models. It is not approved for any medical use.

What labs study it for

Cell-growth research. Labs add it to cell cultures to support cell growth in the dish, and use it to study IGF-1 receptor signalling.

What this compound is

IGF-1 LR3 is an engineered analogue of insulin-like growth factor 1, a naturally occurring protein of 70 amino acids. The analogue carries a 13-residue extension at one end and a single substitution at position 3, changes that sharply reduce its binding to IGF-binding proteins. Laboratories use it as a cell-culture supplement and as a tool for studying IGF-1 receptor signalling with reduced binding-protein interference. It is not approved for any medical use.
