GHK-Cu
Skin • Collagen • Hair • Tissue
A naturally occurring copper-binding peptide studied in skin, hair, collagen, and tissue-remodeling biology.
Human evidence varies by application
Shark Tides research library
Deeper research. Cleaner information.
Explore emerging research across peptides, metabolic signaling, mitochondrial biology, tissue biology, and the GH/IGF-1 axis—without confusing early findings for established outcomes.
Evidence before excitement
Mechanism, research stage, and limitations—clearly separated.
What to expect
A clearer evidence line.
01
No inflated claims
Promising findings are never presented as guaranteed outcomes.
02
Evidence labeled
Human, early human, preclinical, and mechanistic evidence stay distinct.
03
Education only
No dosing, injection, reconstitution, or personalized medical guidance.
Explore the research
Six compounds. The signal, at a glance.
Start with the central research interest, then go deeper into mechanisms, evidence quality, and what remains unknown.
Retatrutide
Weight • Metabolism • Body composition
An investigational GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon triple-receptor agonist with substantial ongoing human clinical research.
Human clinical evidence
Melanotan II
Pigmentation • Melanocortin • Tanning research
A synthetic peptide studied for melanocortin-receptor activity, including pigmentation and related pathway effects.
Early human and mechanistic evidence
BPC-157
Recovery • Tissue • Gut research
An experimental peptide associated with tissue and gastrointestinal research; strong recovery claims exceed current human evidence.
Predominantly animal/preclinical evidence
MOTS-c
Mitochondria • Metabolism • Cellular energy
A mitochondrial-derived peptide involved in metabolic signaling and cellular stress-response research.
Limited human intervention evidence
CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
GH • IGF-1 • Recovery • Body composition
Two compounds influencing growth-hormone signaling through GHRH and ghrelin-receptor pathways.
Combination claims exceed controlled trial evidence

- 1
Human clinical evidence
Controlled or substantive studies in people.
- 2
Early human evidence
Initial signals that still require confirmation.
- 3
Animal / preclinical evidence
Useful biological clues that may not translate to people.
- 4
Laboratory / mechanistic evidence
Pathway-level findings—not proof of a clinical outcome.

About Shark Tides
Science runs deep.
Shark Tides makes emerging peptide, metabolic, and cellular research easier to explore and understand. People should not need a graduate degree to see why researchers are interested.
Our editorial approach separates popular interest from biological mechanisms, early research from established human evidence, and plausible hypotheses from demonstrated outcomes.
