Kisspeptin
Hypothalamic peptide studied for GnRH regulation and reproductive endocrinology.
Testing & quality
Every batch is supplier-tested for identity and purity and randomly verified by independent third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry.
About Kisspeptin
Kisspeptin is the peptide that sits at the very top of the reproductive hormone chain — it tells the brain to release GnRH, which then drives LH and FSH. It also got a second name, metastin, because it was first found while studying how tumors spread.
Research covers hormone pulse timing, LH and FSH control, puberty models, and cancer-spread biology. Supplied as a freeze-dried research powder at 99%+ purity for laboratory use only.
What animal studies have reported
These are outcomes published in peer-reviewed animal (preclinical) research on Kisspeptin. They describe results seen in laboratory animals only.
- Triggered LH and FSH release in rodent and sheep studies
- Earlier onset of puberty when given to juvenile animals
- Restored reproductive cycling in some rodent models
Animal findings do not predict results in humans. Nothing here is a claim about human use — this product is sold for laboratory research only.
