- Growth hormone–releasing hormone analog used to stimulate GH release.
- Stack / Stacks
- Combinations of peptides designed to support a specific goal (e.g., recovery, fat loss).
- Synergy / Synergies
- When two or more agents together produce a greater or more comprehensive effect.
- Skin elasticity
- Skin’s ability to stretch and return to shape; linked to collagen and overall skin health.
T
- TB-500
- Synthetic peptide related to thymosin beta-4; discussed for healing and angiogenesis.
- Telomere / Telomere protection
- Chromosome end caps and efforts to preserve them, often associated with longevity research.
