A gray-market recombinant follistatin fragment marketed since late 2025 as a myostatin trap that builds muscle; there are no published studies, no pharmacokinetics and no safety data on the molecule itself.
Pentadeca Arginate
Pentadeca Arginate (PDA, pentadecapeptide arginate)
The same 15 amino acid sequence as BPC-157 with an arginine salt instead of acetate, created as a compounding workaround; it has no studies of its own and inherits BPC-157's animal-only evidence.
KLOW blend
KLOW (GHK-Cu + KPV + BPC-157 + TB-500)
A four-peptide vendor blend, typically 50 mg GHK-Cu with 10 mg each of KPV, BPC-157 and TB-500, sold for repair and inflammation; no study has ever tested the combination, and GHK-Cu makes up most of the vial.
GLOW blend
GLOW (GHK-Cu + BPC-157 + TB-500)
A three-peptide vendor blend (GHK-Cu, BPC-157, TB-500, typically 70 mg) marketed for skin and recovery; unstudied as a combination and mostly copper peptide by mass.
BRP
BRP (BRINP2-related peptide)
A 12 amino acid peptide discovered by AI-guided prohormone screening at Stanford that cut food intake by up to half in mice and minipigs through a non-GLP-1 pathway; no human trial exists.
Methylene Blue
Methylene blue (methylthioninium chloride)
An FDA-approved antidote for methemoglobinemia that biohackers take at low doses for mitochondrial energy and focus; the cognitive evidence is thin and it is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor with documented fatal interactions with antidepressants.
ATX-304
ATX-304 (O-304), pan-AMPK activator
An oral AMPK activator with one 28-day human pilot in type 2 diabetes and recent mouse data, now sold as a research chemical and promoted as an exercise mimetic or metformin replacement.
Enclomiphene
Enclomiphene citrate
The trans isomer of clomiphene, prescribed off-label through compounding to raise testosterone while preserving sperm production; never FDA-approved on its own after repeated complete response letters.
MGF
Mechano Growth Factor (IGF-1Ec E-peptide)
A 24 amino acid fragment of a load-induced IGF-1 splice variant, sold for local muscle repair; in-vitro and animal data only, with at least one failed replication and a half-life of minutes.
IGF-1 DES
Des(1-3)IGF-1
IGF-1 missing its first three amino acids, which stops binding proteins from holding it and makes it roughly ten times more potent but cleared in minutes; in-vitro and animal data only.
Trodusquemine
Trodusquemine (MSI-1436)
An aminosterol PTP1B inhibitor from dogfish shark that regenerated heart tissue in zebrafish and mice and caused fat-specific weight loss in obese mice; early human trials never produced published efficacy.
Verteporfin
Verteporfin (Visudyne), YAP inhibitor
An approved eye drug that, injected into wounds in mice, produced regeneration without scars in a landmark 2021 Science paper; the first human scar trial started in June 2026, and off-label self-use carries days of severe photosensitivity.
PTD-DBM
PTD-DBM (protein transduction domain, Dishevelled-binding motif)
A topical peptide that unblocks Wnt signaling in the scalp and stimulated hair regrowth and new follicle formation in mice; no human trial exists.
CMS-121
CMS-121, fisetin derivative
A Salk Institute fisetin derivative described as a 'geroneuroprotector' that improved memory and reduced brain lipid damage in mouse models of Alzheimer's; still in animal toxicology, yet already sold as a research chemical.
SkQ1
SkQ1 (plastoquinonyl decyltriphenylphosphonium, Visomitin)
A mitochondria-targeted antioxidant registered in Russia as an eye drop for dry eye; rodent lifespan claims come from a single research group and oral systemic use has no human data.
BAM15
BAM15, mitochondrial uncoupler
A mitochondrial uncoupler that reversed obesity and insulin resistance in mice with a wider safety margin than DNP, now sold as a supplement-style research chemical with no human data.
Trigonelline
Trigonelline (coffee and fenugreek alkaloid)
A natural NAD+ precursor found in coffee and fenugreek that improved muscle function in aged mice and worms and is lower in people with sarcopenia; no human intervention trial yet.
AICAR
AICAR (acadesine)
The original 'exercise in a pill' from a 2008 Cell paper, an AMPK activator banned by WADA since 2009; human programs in heart surgery and leukemia failed to produce an approved drug, and effective animal doses are impractically large.
Cardarine
GW501516 (cardarine)
A PPAR-delta agonist that GSK abandoned in 2007 after long-term rodent studies produced cancers in multiple organs; still sold widely for endurance and fat loss despite the signal and a WADA ban.
SR9009
SR9009 (stenabolic)
A REV-ERB agonist marketed as an exercise mimetic; animal data only, very poor oral bioavailability, and published work questioning whether its effects even run through REV-ERB.
PNC-27
PNC-27, p53-derived membrane-active peptide
An in-vitro cancer-cell-lysing peptide sold online as a cancer cure in nebulized, injectable and other forms; the FDA warned the public after finding bacterial contamination in a product, and no human trial has ever been registered.
Cortagen
Cortagen (Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro, AEDP)
A four amino acid Khavinson bioregulator sold as the defined-sequence cousin of Cortexin for brain recovery; animal data from a single St. Petersburg group and no pharmacokinetics for any route.

AHK-Cu
AHK-Cu (alanine-histidine-lysine copper)
A copper tripeptide marketed as the hair-growth cousin of GHK-Cu; in-vitro stimulation of hair follicle cells only, with no human trial.
Ac-SDKP
N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline (thymosin beta-4 fragment 1-4)
The N-terminal four amino acids of thymosin beta-4, a natural anti-fibrotic peptide broken down by ACE (which is why ACE inhibitors raise it); animal and human observational data, sold as capsules unlikely to survive digestion.
B7-33
B7-33, single-chain relaxin analog
A simplified relaxin analog that activates the RXFP1 receptor with a bias toward anti-fibrotic signaling; animal and cell data only.
Orexin-A
Orexin-A (hypocretin-1)
The wakefulness neuropeptide, sold as a nasal spray for alertness after a primate study showed intranasal delivery reversed sleep-deprivation deficits; no human efficacy trial exists and approved narcolepsy drugs use small molecules instead.
N-Acetyl Semax Amidate
N-Acetyl Semax Amidate (NASA)
A terminally modified analog of Semax sold as a more stable, longer-acting nasal spray; no published study of the amidate form exists, so its parent's Russian literature cannot be assumed to transfer.
GB-115
GB-115, cholecystokinin-4 dipeptide analog
A Russian orally active dipeptide anxiolytic acting on the cholecystokinin system, launched by Western vendors in 2026 as a non-sedating benzodiazepine alternative; single-group animal data only.
