Meccanismo d'azione
Calcitonin (Lachs)
Salmon calcitonin binds the calcitonin receptor, which is particularly densely expressed on bone-resorbing osteoclasts. The literature describes that receptor activation inhibits osteoclast activity and motility, thereby reducing bone resorption. This results in reduced release of calcium and phosphate from bone into the blood, which is regarded as the mechanistic basis for the calcium-lowering effect. The salmon variant binds the receptor more strongly and for longer than human calcitonin, which explains its higher potency. Central nervous system mechanisms are additionally discussed in relation to its pain effect in fractures, the basis of which is regarded in the literature as not fully elucidated.
Linaclotid
Linaclotide activates the guanylate cyclase-C receptor on the luminal surface of the intestinal epithelium. This raises cyclic GMP (cGMP), increases secretion of chloride and bicarbonate into the lumen, raises stool fluid content and accelerates transit; pain signaling is also modulated.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Calcitonin (Lachs) and Linaclotid?
- Calcitonin (Lachs) is classified as "Ricerca (altro)", while Linaclotid is classified as "Ricerca (altro)". Calcitonin (Lachs): Salmon calcitonin is a synthetically produced 32-amino-acid peptide hormone that corresponds to the body's own calcitonin but exhibits higher biological potency than the human hormone. In the scientific literature it is studied in the context of inhibiting osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and lowering elevated calcium levels. It was historically broadly approved for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis; following European safety reviews, however, its use was restricted. Linaclotid: Linaclotide is a 14-amino-acid peptide and guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) agonist. It is approved for irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC). This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Calcitonin (Lachs) or Linaclotid?
- The highest available evidence level is "RCT sull'uomo" for Calcitonin (Lachs) and "RCT sull'uomo" for Linaclotid. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
- What is the legal status of Calcitonin (Lachs) and Linaclotid in Germany and the United States?
- Germania: Calcitonin (Lachs) — Su prescrizione, Linaclotid — Su prescrizione. Stati Uniti: Calcitonin (Lachs) — Su prescrizione, Linaclotid — Su prescrizione. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
