Fat loss peptides refer to a class of peptides that are reported to help with weight loss and fat burning. Some key peptides in this category include CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, GHRPs, and AOD-9604.
There is research showing that certain fat loss peptides may have benefits:
- CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin can help increase growth hormone levels which plays a role in metabolizing fat.
- GHRPs may stimulate appetite and help with fat loss during calorie restriction
- AOD-9604 is a fragment of the hormone ghrelin and early research shows it may help break down fat
However, the research is still limited and lacks longer term safety data. Most studies are small and brief.
Potential benefits of fat loss peptides:
- Increased fat burning
- Peptides like CJC-1295/Ipamorelin raise growth hormone to utilize fat stores
- Preservation of muscle mass
- During weight loss, increased growth hormone maintains more muscle
- Reduced appetite
- GHRPs can help control hunger to support caloric deficit
- Enhanced metabolism
- By raising growth hormone, metabolism and lipid breakdown may improve
Considerations when using fat loss peptides:
- Limited long-term safety data
- Possible effects on insulin sensitivity and other hormones are unknown
- Require injection
- Must be injected subcutaneously, like insulin
- Cycling protocols needed
- Should be cycled to avoid desensitization
- May be prohibited for athletes
- Status varies, but policies often ban peptide hormones

In conclusion, early research shows promising effects but larger and longer studies are still needed on fat loss peptides. They may provide modest improvements in body composition but likely work best alongside proper nutrition and exercise. Like any medical therapy, ensure you fully understand the benefits, side effects and have medical guidance before using.
