Peptides each have their own benefits which they are commonly advertised for. Fat loss, healing, muscle gain, etc.

BUT

Some of these peptides have secondary benefits that aren't typically mentioned in a sales pitch, but are quite useful. Users may be pleased with some of the "off-label" benefits (if you will) that these peptides have to offer.

A couple examples that come to mind:


GHRP-6


Primary uses:
-Growth hormone secretion
-Fat loss
-Muscle Growth
-Anti-aging

Alternate (lesser known) uses:
-Appetite stimulation - Intense hunger within minutes of use. GREAT for bulking or for those who struggle to hit their calorie goal.
-Sleep inducer - Many users report lethargy and sleepiness shortly after use that can linger for several hours after. This can be utilized before bed time to help with sleep.
-Healing - Increases growth hormone/igf-1 production. Igf-1 is extremely useful for speeding up the healing of damaged tissue and is one of the only compounds that can heal damaged cartilage in areas with minimal blood flow. This is done via increased collagen synthesis.


IGF-1 LR3

Primary uses:
-Muscle growth
-Fat loss
-Anti aging

Alternate (lesser known) uses:
-Healing - As stated with GHRP-6, IGF-1 is amazing for healing lasting injuries that would normally take months or even years to heal naturally. Things like tendons and cartilage can be healed much faster with IGF-1 use. Mainly due to increased cell hyperplasia and increased collagen synthesis which is needed to repair damaged cartilage and connective tissue. Combine with another healing peptide like TB-500 and you're golden.

-Pump enhancer - This may be a more well known benefit but I don't think most people use IGF-1 just for the pumps alone. BUT they are phenomenal. The increase in glycogen uptake from IGF-1 keeps your muscles full and pumped 24/7. In the gym your muscles will be sucking up glycogen and nutrients with the increased blood flow from training. This will result in skin tearing pumps that will last hours after leaving the gym. Want a good indicator your IGF-1 is good? Pin it 30-60 mins pre workout and watch your skin tear.


Melanotan II

Primary uses:
-Tanning

Alternate (lesser known) uses:
-Increased sex drive/libido - Many users report significantly increased sex drive from Melanotan II use. Even women have reported similar effects.
-ED - Similar to the benefits mentioned above...male users often report sporadic erections, and a much easier time becoming, and remaining erect when needed. Erections tend to be strong and robust, similar to those produced by a PDE5 inhibitor.


HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadtropin)
Primary uses:
-Keeps the Leydig cells within the testicles active which prevents shrinkage and makes post-cycle recovery easier.

Alternate (lesser known) uses:
-Squirt it on a pregnancy test for a fun prank on a friend or significant other! (totally worth the money)


Does anyone else know of any alternate uses for certain peptides? Personal experience? Additional benefits you have found that aren't typically mentioned?

Please share.
