Works through the brain, not blood flow — and it's FDA-approved for women.

Kisspeptin-10

The master switch for reproductive hormones — studied in real human trials.

CategorySexual HealthSexual Health
Evidence 4/5Phase 3 RCTs in women (RECONNECT) led to FDA approval; men's data is smaller. 3/5Many small human physiology studies and early-phase clinical trials (IVF egg maturation, low sexual desire). No large Phase 3 trials and no approval.
FDA statusFDA-approved (Vyleesi, 2019) for premenopausal women with HSDDNot FDA-approved
WADA (sport)Not prohibitedBanned
Also known asBremelanotide, VyleesiKisspeptin, KP-10, Metastin 45-54
How it worksMelanocortin-4 receptor agonist in the hypothalamus; acts on desire pathways rather than vascular function.Activates the KISS1 receptor on GnRH neurons in the hypothalamus, triggering GnRH release. That leads the pituitary to release LH and FSH, which drive testosterone and estrogen production. Brain-imaging studies also suggest it enhances processing of sexual and romantic cues.
