Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are the main peptides gaining popularity but there's a big following of other peptides that help produce growth harmone naturally such as sermorelin, ipamorelin and cjc-1295. There's also BPC-157 which helps with angiogenesis and healing. The reddit peptides sub has a lot of user content and opinions, as does podcasters such as Andrew Huberman.
Since these are not fda approved, you will most likely get turned down by your primary doctor if you start asking about them. HRT clinics seem to be leading the way to trying these out. FYI - generic semaglutide is very cheap if you get it via HRT clinic as opposed to name brand and pre-mixed ozempic.
- moritzwarhier 3y agoAs a complete laymam, wouldn't stimulating cell growth also be prone to increase cancer risk?
- jonnycoder 3y agoThat is correct, taking the GHRP/GHRH peptides will increase growth of any EXISTING cancer/tumors. This is a known issue.
- moritzwarhier 3y agoThis was recently also indicated by studies for excessive antioxidant intake IIRC, e g. green tea supplements and Vitamin E.
- tptacek 3y agoI know that, except for a few of us, we're just kibbitzing about this stuff, but: isn't that kind of a terrifying prospect? Like, you don't know if you have any undetected neoplasms that this could accelerate?
- loeg 3y agoYes, it should be a little scary and most people should probably not be taking exogenous growth hormone.
- jncfhnb 3y agoYou’ve emphasized existing as if to suggest that it’s the only relevant case but frankly I think that’s a bullshit claim
- jonnycoder 3y agoWhich claim being bullshit? Regardless, my comment along with everyone else’s comment on this topic is UGC content. It is ones own responsibility to do their own research and come to their own conclusions.

- Aurornis 3y agoI’ve followed this scene since peptides first started getting produced by UGLs (underground labs) and now by domestic companies operating in the gray area of unregulated chemicals (for “research use only” is the euphemism) Years ago people started with great enthusiasm and then slowly realized that the effects over the long term aren’t always predictable. Some of these compounds make people feel great in the first few doses and then the negatives only appear much later. There are numerous stories of people getting burned out or stuck in long-lasting depressive states following experimentation, but they’re often waved away as contamination or blamed on something else they were taking. Mainstream influencers like Huberman are now flirting with these chemicals after they’ve run out of interesting basic content to talk about for 3 hours on a weekly podcast. I’d caution anyone listening to the likes of Huberman to be extremely cautious about influencers who only tell the positives with a minimal caution to CYA and a wink wink suggestion that you don’t use them. The same story has been playing out for decades with fitness influencers and new chemicals, and every generation has had their too good to be true moment where the newest chemicals were assumed to be free of side effects.
