Peptide guides.

Concepts explained with judgement and sources — the foundational knowledge, free. The full master's goes much further.

• "Wolverine Blend": what the BPC-157 + TB-500 combination isWhat the so-called "Wolverine Blend" (BPC-157 + TB-500) refers to, why the two are combined and what the preclinical evidence says — explained educationally, no dosing, no medical advice.
• BPC-157: what it is and what is being researchedWhat BPC-157 is, which mechanisms are studied preclinically, where the evidence actually stands and what its legal status is — explained clearly, cautiously and educationally.
• CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin: what they are and how they workWhat each peptide is, why they are researched together on the GH axis, and what the evidence says — explained educationally, with no dosing or medical advice.
• Epitalon and longevity: what it is and what's being researchedWhat Epitalon is (the Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly tetrapeptide), what's studied about telomerase, the pineal gland and aging, and why the evidence calls for caution.
• GHK-Cu: what it is and what it's studied for (educational guide)What GHK-Cu is, the copper tripeptide Gly-His-Lys, what is researched about it, and how topical cosmetic use differs from research-grade material.
• GLP-1: semaglutide and tirzepatide explainedWhat the GLP-1 system is, how semaglutide and tirzepatide differ, and why they are prescription drugs — an educational, cautious guide with no dosing.
• How to read a peptide certificate of analysis (CoA)What a CoA is, what it measures (HPLC purity, mass-spec identity, quantification, contaminants) and how to judge whether the document truly matches your vial.
• How to reconstitute a peptide: a step-by-step guideWhat reconstituting a lyophilized peptide means, what materials are involved and how concentration is calculated — explained clearly and educationally, with no dosing recommendations.
• How to spot fake or low-quality peptidesSigns of material with no traceability, what underfill is and why quantification matters — criteria to judge quality, with no brand recommendations.
• How to store peptides: preserving lyophilized powder and solutionHow to store a lyophilized peptide, the reconstituted solution and bacteriostatic water — temperatures, light and common mistakes, explained educationally.
• MOTS-c: what it is and what it is researched forWhat MOTS-c is, a mitochondrial-derived peptide, what is studied about metabolism, insulin and exercise, and where the evidence stands — explained educationally.
• Peptides for recovery and injury: a research overviewWhich peptides are studied in tissue repair and recovery, what mechanisms they represent, and why the evidence is mostly preclinical rather than clinical.
• Semax and Selank: what these Russian nootropic peptides areWhat Semax and Selank are, what each is researched for, how they differ, and the state of their evidence and regulatory status — explained educationally.
• TB-500 vs Thymosin Beta-4: why they are not the sameTB-500 and Thymosin Beta-4 are sold as interchangeable, but they are different molecules. We explain the fragment-versus-full-protein distinction, educationally.
• What is a peptide: definition, types and why they are studiedWhat a peptide is, how it differs from a protein, which ones are endogenous or synthetic and why they are researched — explained clearly and educationally.
• What is bacteriostatic water and what is it used forWhat bacteriostatic water is, what it is used for when reconstituting lyophilized powders, and how it differs from sterile and distilled water — explained clearly and educationally.
