LL-37: A Multifaceted Host Defense Peptide
LL-37 is a human cathelicidin peptide that plays a crucial role in innate immunity by transporting cGAMP to activate STING signaling, enhancing antiviral immunity, and exhibiting antimicrobial activity. It is influenced by vitamin D and can also induce cytotoxic effects in certain cell types.
Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin is a growth hormone secretagogue peptide that stimulates the pituitary gland to release more of your own growth hormone. It's considered one of the milder GH-releasing peptides with fewer side effects than alternatives.
BPC-157
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in stomach acid. It's popular in biohacking communities for its purported healing and recovery benefits, but human clinical trial data remains very limited despite extensive animal research.
