When RFK Jr. went on Joe Rogan and named 14 peptides he wanted removed from Category 2 restrictions, the research community took notice. Here’s the full list, what Category 2 actually means, and what could change.
Lyophilized peptides can last 12-24+ months if stored correctly. The key rules: -20°C minimum, sealed from moisture and light, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Here’s the complete storage guide for researchers.
The SURMOUNT trials showed tirzepatide reducing body weight by up to 22.5% — numbers never seen outside bariatric surgery. Here’s where the 2026 research stands on tirzepatide’s mechanisms and emerging findings.
GLP-1 peptides and metformin are routinely combined in clinical diabetes trials with no major interactions. For other research peptides, formal interaction data is limited — here’s what researchers need to know.
Shingles causes viral nerve damage that can last months. Researchers are studying peptides like Thymosin Alpha-1 for antiviral immune support and BPC-157 for nerve recovery in preclinical models.
PEGylation explained for non-specialists — what polyethylene glycol is, how attaching it to peptides extends half-life from minutes to days, real-world examples like PEG-MGF vs MGF, and the trade-offs including anti-PEG antibodies.
EBV reactivation is an immune regulation problem. Researchers are investigating peptides like Thymosin Alpha-1 and LL-37 for their potential to modulate antiviral immune responses relevant to Epstein-Barr virus control.
A deep-dive into three peptides investigated for gastrointestinal applications — BPC-157’s cytoprotective mechanisms, KPV’s NF-kB modulation in colitis models, and LL-37’s dual role in gut defense and immune regulation.
An accessible guide to antimicrobial peptide (AMP) research, covering how LL-37 kills bacteria via membrane disruption, KPV suppresses inflammation through NF-kB inhibition, and why AMPs may help address the antibiotic resistance crisis.
Research overview of Thymosin Alpha-1, NAD+, and SS-31 in post-viral fatigue — covering T-cell exhaustion, NAD+ depletion, mitochondrial complex I dysfunction, and recovery biology.
