Research peptides in this space fall into two distinct mechanistic categories: GHRH analogs (e.g., CJC-1295, Sermorelin, Tesamorelin ) bind the GHRH receptor on pituitary somatotrophs to directly stimulate GH synthesis and release GHRPs / Ghrelin mimetics (e.g., Ipamorelin, GHRP-2, GHRP-6, Hexarelin) bind the GHS-R1a receptor to amplify GH release through a separate, complementary pathway Ipamorelin falls firmly in the GHRP/ghrelin mimetic category
This bypasses the digestive system, allowing water, medications, blood products, or nutrients to quickly enter the bloodstream and reach the body where they are needed
Factors Affecting Individual GHK-Cu Before and After Results Two people running the exact same protocol can get different outcomes
For instance, a dose of 7 mg oral semaglutide in the PIONEER 8 trial caused a lower percentage of patients discontinuing treatment compared to 14 mg oral semaglutide (7 mg: 9% and 14 mg: 13%, respectively) (Zinman et al., 2019a)
