How it works

Daily shots that stimulate osteoblasts, the cells that lay down bone, via the PTH1 receptor, building new bone in osteoporosis.

What it's made of

34 amino acids inspired by PTHrP, the sister protein of parathyroid hormone: it shares 76% of its sequence with PTHrP. It carries an amino acid that does not exist in nature (Aib).
