Fragment 176-191 (also known as AOD9604) is the specific segment of growth hormone that has been shown through research to liberate free fatty acids. This peptide, as the name implies, is a piece of the 191 amino chain that makes up growth hormone, from positions 176 through 191 to be exact. This fragment has been shown to induce lipolysis, or fat breakdown, and even inhibits lipogenesis, which is the transformation of food materials into fat stored in the body. This short chain of aminos that make up Fragment 176 is only about 10% of the length of the entire strand of growth hormone and seems to have no other typical positive or negative effects that growth hormone does such as actual growth of tissues or insulin resistance.

Growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP-6) one of the most potent of the GH secretagogues. GHRP-6 is known as the third generation growth hormone releasing peptide behind Hexarelin, and GHRP2. GH secretagogues have been studied openly since the 1970’s. Growth hormone secretagogues stimulate the anterior pituitary gland causing an increase in GH release. 

Long R3 IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor -1) is a polypeptide hormone that structurally and molecularly, shares some properties with insulin, which is where it got “Insulin-like” from in its nomenclature. IGF-1’s primary roles include long bone growth in kids, and in adults it affects the growth and repair of muscle tissue. Regular IGF has a half life of only about 20 minutes, where as the modified version called LR3 is altered some to prevent deactivation by binding proteins in the blood and extends the half life to about 20 hours making it able to be more effective...

Melanotan II, sometimes written Melanotan 2, also called MT-II, MTII, MT2, or MT-2, is a hypothalamic hormone that belongs to the melanotropin family, a group of peptides that react with the melanocortin receptor (MC-R) family and exert a wide and important range of effects in nearly all types of tissue. Other hormones in the melanotropin family include ACTH and alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone. MT-II is an analog of a-MSH that is structurally altered to reduce enzymatic degradation and enhance receptor binding. It was originally studied for its tanning and pigmentation properties but more recent research has focused on antioxidant properties, circadian rhythm entrainment, possible use as a therapy for erectile dysfunction or other arousal disorders, and as a research tool to highlight the factors that lead to obesity, insulin resistance, inflammation, and other types of dysfunction. Melanotan 2 is available in Australia through our AU distribution center...

Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH) is produced by the hypothalamus in medial neurons of the paraventricular nucleus.[3] At the beginning, it is synthesized as a 242-amino acid precursor polypeptide that contains 6 copies of the sequence -Glu-His-Pro-Gly-, flanked by di-basic peptides that are later processed through proteolysis to give the mature TRH molecule. It travels across the median eminence to the anterior pituitary gland via the hypophyseal portal system where it stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone from cells called thyrotropes...
