Pancragen- Summary
- Ipamorelin is a selective GHRP (growth hormone releasing peptide) and one of the cleanest GH secretagogues available. It selectively stimulates GH release without significantly raising cortisol, prolactin, or appetite — making it ideal for long-term use and anti-aging protocols.
- Pancragen is a tripeptide bioregulator (Lys-Glu-Asp) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, tissue-specific for the pancreas. It supports the function of both exocrine and endocrine pancreatic cells, promotes normalization of insulin secretion from beta cells, and may offer protective effects against pancreatic aging and diabetic progression.
