After researching peptide science week after week—and using some compounds personally—I’m answering one of the most common questions I receive: Which peptides do I find the most useful and compelling? This is not a universal ranking or a recommendation to use all 11. Tirzepatide, retatrutide, tesamorelin, ipamorelin, BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, KPV, PT-141, MOTS-c, and SS-31 occupy very different evidence and regulatory categories. Some are FDA-approved prescription drugs. Some have encouraging human data. Others remain experimental and are supported mainly by animal, cell, mechanistic, or anecdotal evidence. In this episode, we examine the problem each peptide is intended to solve, how it works, what the human evidence shows, where the evidence is weak, known risks, regulatory status, and why each compound made my personal list.

GLP-1 medications changed obesity treatment, but appetite regulation involves more than one hormonal signal. Cagrilintide is a long-acting analogue of amylin, a pancreatic peptide released alongside insulin that helps regulate satiety, gastric emptying, and post-meal glucagon signaling. In this episode of Peptides Explained, John Garrett breaks down what cagrilintide is, how it differs from GLP-1 receptor agonists, what standalone phase 2 data show, and what the phase 3 CagriSema trials tell us about combining cagrilintide with semaglutide. We also examine the REDEFINE 4 comparison with tirzepatide, common gastrointestinal adverse effects, unresolved questions about long-term outcomes and lean mass, and why online research products should not be treated as equivalent to the pharmaceutical trial material. Cagrilintide remains investigational and is not currently an FDA-approved treatment. This content is educational and is not medical advice.

NAD+ is one of the most talked-about molecules in longevity and wellness. It is marketed for energy, mitochondrial support, cellular repair, brain fog, recovery, and anti-aging. But what happens when we bring cancer biology into the conversation? In this episode of Peptides Explained, we break down the relationship between NAD+ and cancer in clear, responsible language. NAD+ is essential for normal cellular function, DNA repair, mitochondrial energy production, redox balance, and immune signaling. But cancer cells may also rely on NAD+ metabolism to support growth, survival, DNA repair, oxidative stress control, and possible treatment resistance. This episode covers NAD+, NADH, NR, NMN, niacinamide, IV NAD+, NAMPT, PARP enzymes, DNA repair, cancer therapy, human evidence, preclinical evidence, and why active cancer or recent cancer changes the risk discussion. This is not a hype episode and not a fear episode. The real answer is context. NAD+ biology is real. The cancer concern is biologically plausible. The human evidence is incomplete.

5-Amino-1MQ is often talked about in peptide circles, but it is not actually a peptide. It is a small-molecule NNMT inhibitor being studied for its potential role in nicotinamide metabolism, NAD⁺ biology, methylation, fat-cell function, insulin sensitivity, and liver metabolism. In this episode, John Garrett breaks down the proposed mechanism behind 5-Amino-1MQ, why people are discussing it for fat loss and body composition, and what the current research actually shows. The data is interesting, especially in preclinical studies involving adipocytes, diet-induced obese mice, glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and fatty liver markers. But the human clinical evidence is still limited, and 5-Amino-1MQ is not FDA-approved for fat loss, obesity, metabolic disease, longevity, or body composition. This episode takes a balanced look at the science, the grey-market reality, and how to think about emerging metabolic compounds responsibly.
