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

Nutritional deficiencies were diagnosed in 12.7% of patients within 6 months of treatment initiation and in 22.4% within 12 months
Because peptides are rapidly cleaved by proteases, intact BPC-157 rarely persists beyond 812 hours post-dose
