Get your bearings.
A peptide is a short chain of amino acids, the parts of proteins. Some peptides carry hormone signals. Our focus is the growth-hormone axis: the signals linking the brain, the pituitary gland beneath it, and growth hormone.
A secretagogue is a substance that prompts a gland to release a hormone. That word describes a signal. It does not establish a training benefit, a safe product or a reason to take one.
Know the lineup.
- CJC-1295 + ipamorelinTwo peptides, two hormone signals. The pair has no FDA approval; FDA is the U.S. drug regulator.
- CJC-1295The name leaves a key question: with DAC, an added chemical part, or without it?
- SermorelinA short copy of a natural hormone signal, with a distinct approval history.
- TesamorelinAn approved product has a narrow use. That approval does not cover compounded versions.
The side-by-side guide also covers ipamorelin and the tesamorelin + ipamorelin pairing. No entry is a recommendation.
Read the label. Then look at the route.
Research-only sale
A product sold for laboratory research may be marked “not for human use.” No one reviews your health as part of that sale.
- It is not a prescription.
- A label does not prove safety for people.
- A laboratory sale is not personal medical care.
A licensed decision
A licensed U.S. provider reviews every treatment request and decides whether to prescribe. Some requests are declined; not everyone qualifies.
- A provider weighs the person's health and the evidence.
- Pharmacy rules apply to the exact ingredient.
- Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved.
A training goal is a question.
Recovery, muscle and body-composition goals do not tell us which peptide is appropriate. Small hormone studies, animal research and results in a specific condition cannot be treated as proof for a healthy person's training goals.
Which ingredient, which form, which people were studied, and which risks remain? Our comparison keeps those questions beside each name.
A visit starts with review
Promise Peptides prescribes these peptides now. Each visit starts with a request for a licensed U.S. provider to review. A listing does not decide whether a particular peptide fits your health.
Start a visit
The visit gathers health information for a licensed U.S. provider to review. Starting it does not guarantee a prescription.
Provider decision
A licensed U.S. provider reviews every request, including health history, and decides whether to prescribe. Not everyone qualifies.
Pharmacy decision
If a provider prescribes, a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy checks the ingredient and applicable rules before preparation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
Medications are prepared by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. A pharmacy checks the exact ingredient and applicable rules before preparation.
U.S. patients only. Availability varies by state and by treatment.
Promise is LegitScript-certified. This is not an FDA approval of Promise or of a medicine.

What does secretagogue mean?
A substance that prompts a gland to release a hormone. Here, that means growth hormone from the pituitary gland beneath the brain.
What does research use only mean on a product?
It describes a laboratory product, often labeled not for human use. A lab sale includes no review of your health and no prescription decision.
What happens after I follow a Promise Peptides link?
Promise is open. The link opens its website to start a visit. A licensed U.S. provider reviews every request and decides whether to prescribe. Not everyone qualifies.
