Study findings do not automatically establish clinical benefit, safety, dosing, or suitability for an individual.

Compound Profiles

BPC-157

Body Protection Compound-157 | Pentadecapeptide

Promotes blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), enhances collagen synthesis, modulates growth factor expression including VEGF, and protects against tissue damage through localized or systemic delivery pathways..

Ketoconazole

Antifungal | Topical Anti-Androgen for Hair Loss

Ketoconazole works through multiple pathways relevant to hair loss. As an azole antifungal, it inhibits the enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase, disrupting ergosterol synthesis and killing Malassezia fungi that colonize the scalp and contribute to inflammation and seborrheic dermatitis.
