Nick Norwitz ranks seven peptides by strength of human evidence. Retatrutide for weight loss takes second place. BPC-157, MOTC, Lirazotide, and SS31 follow, each claiming benefits from wound healing to mitochondrial repair, but most lack solid human data.

All right, blind ranking peptides without knowing what comes next. BPC-157. Oof. I think this has serious potential for accelerating wound healing, especially as part of a Wolverine stack with TB-500, but because of the lack of human evidence for the injectable, I'm gonna have to give it a 4. Retatrutide. All right, this one is incredible and has rigorous human trial data. It's undeniably the most powerful weight loss medication in existence, causing like 28% or more body weight loss. So I'm going to give it a 2. I want to save that one position. All right, MOTC. I, I love MOTC. It's honestly one of my favorites. A bona fide mitochondrial hormone that your body naturally produces during exercise that can be used as a true exercise mimetic in animals. It's just cool with so much potential, but it does need more human data. So I'm going to give it the number 3 spot. Lirazotide. There's a curveball. Honestly, Pretty solid. We have some randomized controlled trial data showing benefits for leaky gut in certain populations. So I'll give it a 5. Alright, SS31. Alright, maybe didn't plan this out too well. This is a really cool one. It's the other mitochondrial peptide other than MOTC. Basically helps portions of the inner mitochondrial membrane glue together to help with mitochondrial efficiency. Not quite as cool as MOTC. So I guess I need to give it the number 6 spot, which means moment of truth. I didn't think this through. Hopefully it's a good one. DSIP. Oh, shit.
