Research & Evidence
Sauvagine is a peptide of about forty amino acids first isolated from the skin of the South American frog Phyllomedusa sauvagii. Despite being grouped here with “tachykinin”/“Kambo” tags, it belongs to the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family of peptides and acts on CRF receptors, where it has been used as a research tool to study stress-hormone and cardiovascular regulation. It is studied in the laboratory rather than used as a remedy.
Toxicity & Safety
Sauvagine is a research peptide and is not used in human self-care; its safety profile outside experimental settings is not characterized.
