Similar Peptides

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.

TB-500

Healing

A synthetic 17-amino acid fragment of Thymosin Beta-4 (TB-4). NOT the same as 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.

Pentadecapeptide

Healing

The full 15-amino acid sequence that includes BPC-157. While BPC-157 is more commonly discussed, the full pentadecapeptide has similar healing properties derived from gastric juice.

Thymosin Beta-4

Healing

The full 43-amino acid protein that TB-500 is derived from. Naturally occurring in most human tissues, TB-4 has a shorter half-life (~2 hours) compared to its synthetic fragment TB-500 (~2-4 days). Often mislabeled as 'TB-500' by vendors in premixed products.

Semaglutide

Weight Loss

FDA

A GLP-1 receptor agonist FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management. One of the most effective pharmaceutical weight loss interventions available.

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.
