Follistatin 344
A myostatin-inhibiting protein studied for muscle growth beyond normal genetic limits.
A short, fast-acting IGF-1 variant studied for localized muscle tissue research.
In the literature, IGF-DES appears most often in work focused on muscle growth and localized growth. Studies in this area tend to look at mechanisms and observed effects in laboratory and preclinical settings rather than outcomes in people, so the picture is best read as a map of where researchers have been curious — not as evidence of any benefit.
IGF-DES is catalogued here under powder peptides. Coverage of this compound varies in quality and depth, and much of it remains early-stage. Reading the underlying research directly is the only way to judge how strong any particular finding is.

A myostatin-inhibiting protein studied for muscle growth beyond normal genetic limits.
A long-acting IGF-1 analog studied for muscle cell growth and repair.
Alexamorelin is a synthetic growth hormone secretagogue that acts as a potent agonist of the ghrelin receptor to stimulate growth hormone release. Researchers investigate its potential for growth hormone deficiency and post-surgical catabolism.
