Gonadorelin- Summary
- Tripeptide-29 is a pro-collagen cosmetic peptide composed of proline, hydroxyproline, and glycine — the core repeating unit of collagen. Applied topically, it signals dermal fibroblasts that collagen degradation has occurred, triggering compensatory new collagen synthesis.
- Gonadorelin is the synthetic form of endogenous GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone). It stimulates the pituitary to release LH and FSH, maintaining testicular function and testosterone production. Widely used alongside TRT to prevent testicular atrophy and preserve fertility.
- Half-Life
- Not applicable (topical)
- ~2–4 minutes (extremely short); pulsatile dosing required to avoid desensitization
