Adrenocorticotropic Hormone · Corticotropin

ACTH is a 39-amino-acid peptide hormone released by the anterior pituitary in response to CRH. Its primary role is stimulating the adrenal cortex to produce cortisol, but it also has direct melanotropic and lipolytic effects. Synthetic forms (cosyntropin) are used diagnostically for adrenal insufficiency testing. Longer-acting formulations (H.P. Acthar Gel) are approved for multiple sclerosis relapses, infantile spasms, and various inflammatory conditions.

GHRH(1-29) · GRF 1-29 NH2

Sermorelin is a synthetic analog of the first 29 amino acids of endogenous growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It stimulates the pituitary to produce and secrete growth hormone in a pulsatile, physiologic manner. FDA-approved for GH deficiency in children, it is extensively researched in adults for body composition, sleep quality, and age-related GH decline.

Thymus Humoral Factor-Gamma 2 · THF-γ2

Thymalin is a peptide complex isolated from bovine thymus gland, approved in Russia for use as an immunomodulator. Research demonstrates it restores age-related decline in T-cell function, enhances bone marrow activity, and supports immune homeostasis. Long-term studies in elderly populations show reductions in all-cause mortality and improved immune resilience, positioning it as a key anti-aging immunotherapy research compound.

Thymalfasin · Tα1

Thymosin Alpha-1 is a naturally occurring 28-amino-acid peptide derived from thymosin fraction 5 of the thymus gland. Approved in over 35 countries for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and as an immune adjuvant in cancer therapy, it enhances T-cell maturation, dendritic cell function, and NK cell activity. Research continues to expand into sepsis, COVID-19, autoimmune conditions, and vaccine response enhancement.
