Peptide Classification: Main Groups and How They Work
Published: 2026-03-02 11:25:00 | PEPTEX Research

<p>Peptides are a heterogeneous group. Each class works with its own body system, solves its own tasks and has its own logic of use. These classes are described below:GHRH (Growth Hormone Releasing Hormones) This class mimics the body's natural signal, stimulating the pituitary gland to produce growth hormone on its own.
It doesn't cause a sharp spike, but supports the natural pulsatile rhythm of secretion. Representatives: CJC-1295, Sermorelin, Tesamorelin Research directions: muscle gain, fat loss, recovery, anti-agingGHRP / Secretagogues These work a bit differently, through ghrelin receptors, also stimulating growth hormone release, but additionally affecting appetite and GI motility. Often used in combination with GHRH.
Representatives: Ipamorelin, GHRP-2, GHRP-6, Hexarelin Research directions: enhanced growth hormone release, improved recovery, appetite stimulation (GHRP-6)GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1) This class of peptides regulates blood sugar levels, suppresses appetite and slows gastric emptying. GLP-1 became the predecessor of other compounds studied in weight-management research. Research directions: weight reduction in studies, blood sugar control in research on type 2 diabetes, cardioprotectionHealing peptides (BPC-157, TB-500) These are among the most popular types of peptides in sports and regenerative medicine.
They accelerate tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, restore tendons, ligaments and mucous membranes. Applied directly to the injury site. Representatives: BPC-157, TB-500 Research directions: recovery after injuries, research on joints and ligaments, GI protection (BPC-157)Skin peptides This group stimulates collagen synthesis, accelerates healing, reduces inflammation and slows age-related changes.
Can be supplied as blends, like KLOW or GLOW, including not only GHK-Cu for example, but also related peptides that work great in synergy. Representatives: GHK-Cu, Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1), Argireline Research directions: skin rejuvenation, wound healing, improved tone and elasticity.Sleep peptides This group of peptides affects the depth and quality of sleep, acting through the body's own mechanisms. Representatives: DSIP, Epithalon Research directions: improving sleep quality, normalizing circadian rhythms, anti-aging (Epithalon)</p>
