Hey guys,
if the following peptides were available domestic,
who would be interested in trying them out at the listed hypothetical prices?
Just curious :)
** For confidentiality reasons user names will NOT be shown on the poll.
But I'd like you to reply in the thread that "you'd be interested" (if u voted)
so I know how many votes are legit, and which ones are people trying to
be funny **
THX
i voted for the PT-141... i read some interestin facts about it helpin in the sack.. so that sparked my interest..lol..hey at least i am honest about it..lol.. plus the rest cost more because of the dosage and which ones have to be taken together.. ex. igf and mgfQuote:

Some need to know what are Peptides and what they do.........

Good idea Gator, must have slipped my mind.

Bremelanotide
(pronounced /ˌbrɛməˈlænɵtаɪd/ ( listen)) (formerly PT-141) is a compound under drug development by Palatin Technologies as a treatment for hemorrhagic shock and reperfusion injury. It functions by activating the melanocortin receptors MC1R and MC4R, to modulate inflammation and limiting ischemia. [1] It was originally developed for use in treating sexual dysfunction but this application was discontinued in 2008, after concerns were raised over adverse side effects of increased blood pressure.
Development
Originally, the peptide Melanotan II, that bremelanotide was developed from, was tested as a sunless tanning agent. In initial testing, Melanotan II did induce tanning but additionally caused sexual arousal and spontaneous erections as unexpected side effects in nine out of the ten original male volunteer test subjects.[2]
In studies, bremelanotide was shown to induce lordosis in an animal model [3] and was also effective in treating sexual dysfunction in both men (erectile dysfunction or impotence) and women (sexual arousal disorder). Unlike Viagra and other related medications, it does not act upon the vascular system, but directly increases sexual desire via the nervous system. [4]
A Phase III clinical trial was scheduled to begin in the first half of 2007, but was delayed until August 2007. On August 30, Palatin announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had expressed serious concerns regarding the risk/benefit ratio of bremelanotide with regards to the side effect of increased blood pressure. The FDA stated that they would consider alternate uses for bremelanotide, including as a treatment for individuals who do not respond to more established ED treatments. However, On May 13, 2008, Palatin Technologies announced it "has discontinued development of Bremelanotide for the treatment of male and female sexual dysfunction" however they concurrently announced plans to develop it as a treatment for hemorrhagic shock instead. [5] The company additionally announced intentions to focus its attention on another compound, PL-6983, that causes lower blood pressure in animal models. [6]
Structure
Bremelanotide is a cyclic hepta-peptide lactam analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) that activates the melanocortin receptors MC3-R and MC4-R in the central nervous system. It has the amino acid sequence Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-OH or cyclo-[Nle4, Asp5, D-Phe7, Lys10]alpha-MSH-(4-10). It is a metabolite of Melanotan II that lacks the C-terminal amide function.

Here's a small blurb about the CJC-1295
(I'll add more shortly, need to track down the info I misplaced, sorry)
CJC-1295
is a tetrasubtituted peptide of 29 amino acid length, primarily functioning as a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analog. It was innovated by ConjuChem, a Canadian biotechnology company.
One of the advantages of CJC-1295 over traditional GHRH or rHGH is its ability to bioconjugate with serum albumin, thus increasing its half-life and therapeutic window. It accomplishes this by using protecting groups around the amino acids of GHRH typically susceptible to enzymatic degradation.
ConjuChem initiated clinical trials for CJC-1295 during the mid-2000s. The objective of the drug was to treat visceral fat deposits in obese AIDS patients, as increased levels of exogenous HGH are presumed to increase lipolysis (fat loss). The trial was ultimately successful for most research subjects, but the drug's marketing stalled when three of the trial's patients suffered a myocardial infarction.

Here's a bit about the GHRP-6, which is similar to the GHRP-2
(again, I'll post more info after I find it, sorry for the short explanation)
Growth hormone releasing hexapeptide (GHRP6)
is one of several synthetic met-enkephalin analogs that include unnatural D-amino acids, were developed for their growth hormone (GH) releasing activity and are called GH secretagogues. They lack opioid activity but are potent stimulators of GH release. These secretagogues are distinct from growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) in that they share no sequence relation and derive their function through action at a completely different receptor. This receptor was first called the GH secretagogue receptor, but now we know that the hormone ghrelin is this receptor's natural endogenous ligand and that these GH secetagouges act as synthetic mimetics of ghrelin.
The major side effect accompanied by the use of GHRP-6 or other GH secretagogues is a significant increase in appetite because secretagogues mimic the action of Ghrelin, a peptide which is released naturally in the lining of the stomach and increases hunger and gastric emptying.
GHRP-6, other secretagogues and ghrelin stimulate the anterior pituitary gland causing an increase in GH release. When natural GH secretion has been inhibited by long term abuse of synthetic GH, GHRP-6 may help to re-stimulate the natural production of GH. GHRP-6 may also affect the central nervous system by protecting neurons as well as increasing strength in a way very similar to the way certain steroids in the Dihydrotestosterone family do.
Claimed benefits of increased Growth Hormone levels through GHRP-6 stimulation include: an increase in strength, muscle mass and body fat loss, rejuvenation and strengthening of joints, connective tissue and bone mass. Enhanced GH secretion also leads to the liver secreting more IGF-1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1), which is thought to be the primary anabolic mechanism of action for Growth Hormone.
Technical Data
It has also been discovered that when GHRP-6 and insulin are used simultaneously, GH response to GHRP-6 is increased (1). A recent study in normal mice showed significant differences in body composition, muscle growth, glucose metabolism, memory and cardiac function in the mice being administered the GHRP-6 (2). There are still many questions regarding this fairly new compound, scientists are hoping to gain a better clinical understanding of the peptide through further research over the next few years.

Hey, just get me one that shuts down my myostatin gene and I'm game.;)
thanks for the info JERK very informative.
You're very welcome!
I should find the other info and be able to post it up this coming week.
stay tuned ;)
The jury is still out for me- some swear by how well these work and yet there is still very limited info. I would love to know more about them, how well they really work as compared to HGH itself etc. While we are on the topic Id like more info on MGF
KETSUGO- I'll dig some research up on the MGF for you as well.
Sorry guys about not updating this thread yet, got slammed at work last week.
This weeks a little lax so I should have more time now to find it.
Happy Tuesday !!!!
(no significance, just in the mood for frat boy partying with the occasional screaming/yelling/acting the fool LOL.

THANKS Gator !
Just wish I would have put the word "peptides" in the title somewhere lol.
See what happens when you get old :confused:
u start losing your mind lol
I'm interested in CJC-1295 myself.
I am interested in CJC...I have used IGF and PEG-MGF, PCT when I got off a cycle and took a break from HGH and was interested in how it compared to HGH. I am currently on Hexeralin for post IGF and PEG-MGF. In my experiences, HGH is still the best!
haha x2 x2 x2Quote:

Keep your eyes open guys, it will fully stocked domestic towards the end of the month ;)
