|---|---|---|
| Class | Metabolic Peptides | Metabolic |
| Description | A modified fragment of human growth hormone (HGH 177-191) researched for fat metabolism without affecting blood sugar or growth. WOAH | A small molecule NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) inhibitor that boosts cellular NAD+ levels by blocking the enzyme responsible for NAD+ degradation. Promotes fat metabolism, increases energy expenditure, and supports metabolic health — often called a "fat loss peptide" though technically a small molecule. |
