Sexual Health
Kisspeptin-10's defining research application — acting as the master upstream trigger of the reproductive hormone cascade.
FSH stimulation
Activates GnRH neurons, which in turn trigger follicle-stimulating hormone release from the pituitary.
Hormonal balance
Sits at the top of the reproductive hormone cascade, giving it broad influence over downstream hormone levels.
LH stimulation
Triggers luteinizing hormone release, the direct signal that drives testosterone production and ovulation.
Natural testosterone boost
Stimulates the body's own testosterone production via LH release, rather than replacing testosterone directly.
Reproductive support
Directly activates GnRH neurons, the literal starting point of the entire reproductive hormone system.
