Limited evidence

5-Amino-1MQ

5-Amino-1MQ is not actually a peptide (a chain of amino acids) — it's a small, lab-made chemical compound. It was created by scientists as a way to block a specific enzym

Limited evidence

Adipotide

Adipotide is a lab-engineered peptide (a chain of amino acid building blocks) designed like a guided missile. One part of it is a "homing" sequence that seeks out blood v

Limited evidence

AICAR

AICAR is a small lab-made molecule, not a peptide (chain of amino acids). It's actually a natural stepping-stone chemical the body already makes in tiny amounts while bui

Limited evidence

AOD-9604

AOD-9604 stands for "anti-obesity drug 9604." It's a lab-made peptide (a short chain of amino acid building blocks) built from a small fragment of human growth hormone, w

Limited evidence

Cagrilintide

Cagrilintide is a lab-made, long-acting version of a natural hormone your body already makes called amylin, which is released by the pancreas alongside insulin and plays

Limited evidence

Liraglutide

Liraglutide is a lab-made peptide (chain of amino acid building blocks) that closely mimics a natural gut hormone called GLP-1, which your intestines release after eating

Limited evidence

Mazdutide

Mazdutide is a lab-made peptide (chain of amino acid building blocks) that copies and extends a natural gut hormone called oxyntomodulin, which your intestines release af

Limited evidence

Retatrutide

Retatrutide (its lab code is LY3437943, and people online nickname it "Triple G") is a man-made peptide — a small chain of amino acids (the building blocks of protein) —

Limited evidence

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a lab-made peptide sold under brand names like Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy. It's a copy of a natural hormone your gut makes called GLP-1, but it's been c

Limited evidence

SLU-PP-332

SLU-PP-332 isn't actually a peptide (a chain of amino acids) at all — it's a small man-made chemical, but it gets grouped with peptides online because people take it the

Limited evidence

Survodutide

Survodutide (lab code BI 456906) is a lab-made peptide being developed by the drug company Boehringer Ingelheim. It's built with a fat molecule attached to help it stay a

Limited evidence

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide (lab code LY3298176) is a lab-made peptide sold under the brand names Mounjaro (for diabetes) and Zepbound (for weight loss). It's built from 39 amino acids b
