The peptide & supplement tracking library

63 structured, source-backed entries — 24 peptides plus medications, and 24 supplements — covering research status, how each compound works, what people commonly track, and the questions worth bringing to a clinician. Free to read. Education only, not medical advice.

Reta is a tracking and education tool — not a medical provider. Nothing here is a diagnosis, treatment, prescription, or dosing recommendation. Peptides and medications should only be used under the direction of a licensed clinician. Talk to a qualified clinician before starting, stopping, combining, or changing anything. Many compounds below are not FDA-approved for human use; some are investigational or sold through unregulated channels where purity and dosing are not guaranteed.

Tesamorelin

peptide
FDA-approved (specific use)Growth-hormone-releasing hormone analog

Tesamorelin (Egrifta) is the only FDA-approved GHRH analog, approved specifically for HIV-associated lipodystrophy. It is sometimes discussed more broadly for visceral fat; that broader use is off-label and a clinician-level decision.

Sermorelin

peptide
Formerly approved / compoundedGrowth-hormone-releasing hormone analog

Sermorelin is a GHRH analog historically used to assess growth-hormone deficiency and now common in wellness/longevity clinics via compounding. It is usually framed as a gentler secretagogue; it is still clinician-territory.

AOD-9604

peptide
Not FDA-approvedGrowth-hormone fragment

AOD-9604 is a fragment of the growth-hormone molecule marketed in fat-loss contexts. It is not approved, and clinical fat-loss evidence in humans is weak. Worth a frank clinician conversation about whether it adds anything over fundamentals.

GHK-Cu

peptide
Cosmetic (topical)Skin / repair peptide (topical cosmetic; injectable unapproved)

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide. In topical skincare it is mainstream and regulated as a cosmetic. Injectable use is a different, unapproved risk category and needs clinician oversight.

Melanotan II

peptide
Not FDA-approvedMelanocortin agonist (tanning; unapproved, higher-risk)

Melanotan II is an unapproved melanocortin-receptor agonist marketed for tanning and libido effects. It is unregulated, and there are documented safety concerns, including reports of new or changing moles/melanoma during or after use.

Thymosin Beta-4

peptide
Not FDA-approvedRecovery-focused research peptide

Thymosin Beta-4 is a naturally occurring peptide discussed in tissue-repair contexts and closely related to the marketed TB-500 fragment. It is not approved for human use and human data are sparse — clinician guidance is essential.

Want to track your own protocol?

The library is free for everyone. Personal tracking — clinician-directed protocols, supplement stacks, reminders, dose logs, and insights — is available in Reta's Public Beta.

Members can also organize commonly discussed combinations, or “stacks,” into structured tracking routines — keeping protocols, supplements, reminders, and progress notes in one place, without replacing clinician guidance.
