Triptorelin- Summary
- Collagen peptides are short-chain amino acid sequences produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of whole collagen (typically bovine or marine). They serve as bioactive signals that stimulate fibroblasts and chondrocytes to produce new collagen, elastin, and cartilage matrix, supporting skin, joint, bone, and gut health.
- Triptorelin is a synthetic decapeptide analog of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) with 100x the potency of native GnRH. An FDA-approved drug (Trelstar) for prostate cancer and precocious puberty, it is also used in post-cycle therapy (PCT) to rapidly restart the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis after anabolic steroid suppression.
