Pancragen

Metabolic

View Profile →

A synthetic tetrapeptide (Lys-Glu-Asp-Trp) bioregulator originally isolated from bovine pancreatic cells. Developed at Russia's St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, it directly interacts with DNA to regulate pancreatic gene expression. Studied for age-related metabolic disturbances including type 2 diabetes.

Similar Peptides

SLU-PP-332

Metabolic

A synthetic small molecule developed at Saint Louis University that activates estrogen-related receptors (ERRs), mimicking the metabolic effects of aerobic exercise. Technically not a peptide but a small organic molecule (MW 290.32), widely discussed in the peptide community as an "exercise mimetic" that boosts fat oxidation, endurance, and mitochondrial function without stimulant effects.

BPC-157

Healing

A synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. Known for its remarkable tissue healing properties across multiple body systems. FDA classified as Category 2 in 2023, restricting compounding.

TB-500

Healing

A synthetic 17-amino acid fragment of Thymosin Beta-4 (TB-4). Unlike TB-4, TB-500 has a longer half-life (~2-4 days vs ~2 hours) and is the active region responsible for tissue repair and cell migration. Note: Many vendors mislabel TB-4 as 'TB-500' in premixed products.

Semaglutide

Weight Loss

FDA

A GLP-1 receptor agonist with multiple FDA approvals including weight loss, T2D, CV risk reduction, and kidney protection. Wegovy pill approved Dec 2025 as first oral GLP-1 for weight loss.

Tirzepatide

Weight Loss

FDA

A dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist representing the next generation of incretin-based therapies. Shows superior weight loss compared to semaglutide in head-to-head trials. First medication approved for obstructive sleep apnea.

Ipamorelin

Growth Hormone

A selective growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates GH release without significantly affecting cortisol or prolactin. Considered one of the safest GHRPs.
