What it is

A short chain of 15 amino acids. It was first identified in a protein found in the stomach.

Turns up mostly in tissue-repair research — work on how cells rebuild after damage.

The most searched name in this market. It passed 8 to 6 with one member sitting out — a two-vote margin, not the landslide it was reported as.

Sold for laboratory research only. Not approved for people to take. Listing a seller is not a recommendation to buy or to use anything.

This sheet describes, it does not recommend. Nothing on it says this compound does anything for anyone. It is not approved for people to take. Talk to a doctor about your health.
