Compound Profiles
Berberine
Plant Alkaloid | Natural Glucose & Lipid Management
Berberine's primary mechanism of action involves activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), the cell's master energy-sensing enzyme. Unlike metformin, which activates AMPK primarily through inhibition of mitochondrial Complex I, berberine appears to activate AMPK through multiple pathways, including direct inhibition of mitochondrial Complex I, stimulation of AMPK phosphorylation, and modulation of the AMP-to-ATP ratio.
CJC-1295 (without DAC)
Short-Acting Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone Analog
Binds GHRH receptors on somatotroph cells in the pituitary gland, stimulating cAMP production and physiological GH pulses. The brief 30-minute half-life allows pulsatile release versus prolonged elevation.
