Bones and muscles
How it works
Activates NPR-B in the growth plates, mimicking CNP, a natural bone-growth peptide, so children with achondroplasia grow faster.
What it's made of
39 amino acids: the last 37 of CNP-53, a natural peptide that regulates bone growth, plus two (proline and glycine) at the start so the enzyme neprilysin does not cut it.
What it's for
- Prescribed for
- Achondroplasia while the growth plates are still open.
Educational satire, not medical advice.
