What looser peptide compounding rules would actually change
If FDA expands which peptides can be compounded, the biggest effects will likely be supply-chain, liability, and access shifts, not an overnight jump in evidence quality.

Peptides that can dial down cortisol
A few human peptides have evidence for blunting cortisol responses in specific settings. This is what we actually know, what’s still unclear, and why ‘lower cortisol’ is a tricky goal.
Why peptides feel like magic (and what they actually are)
Peptides can look like biological spells: tiny molecules that seem to fix unrelated problems. The real story is messier and more useful: specificity, delivery constraints, and the evidence ladder.
Russian peptide bioregulators: from military medicine to wellness marketing
A history-first tour of the Russian peptide-bioregulator ecosystem, from organ extracts and military-medical institutions to tripeptides like Pinealon (EDR), patents, and modern online folklore.
Kisspeptin and gonadorelin: upstream hormone signals, not casual wellness tools
Kisspeptin and gonadorelin have real clinical lineage, but they sit high in the hormone control system. If use expands through compounding channels, careful monitoring and conservative claims will matter.
How peptide hype evolves (and a verification checklist)
A practical field guide to how new peptides and ‘next-gen analogs’ spread online, what usually gets exaggerated, and the minimum evidence needed before you treat marketing as reality.
Epitalon
A short pineal peptide (often spelled epithalon) studied in aging biology and telomere/telomerase-related experiments; widely discussed online with claims that exceed the strongest human evidence.
Pinealon
A short peptide (often discussed as an EDR peptide family) that appears in gerontology and neurobiology literature; widely marketed online for sleep and brain benefits with limited modern clinical evidence.
Gonadorelin
A synthetic form of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), an upstream hypothalamic signal in the reproductive hormone axis.
Kisspeptin
A family of neuropeptides (KISS1-derived) that strongly stimulate the reproductive hormone axis upstream of GnRH, studied in reproductive physiology and clinical fertility contexts.
Can two peptides shrink sleep needs?
Pinealon and epitalon are short peptides with a real literature footprint, but the claim that an oral combo can reliably cut sleep needs while improving sleep quality is far ahead of strong human evidence.
