Updated On July 23, 2024

We spent 20+ hours reading research papers, perusing clinical websites and browsing research peptide brands to come up with the ULTIMATE express guide to current up-to-date medical literature on peptide usage, dosage, cycles timing, indications, forms, and studies.

For first time peptide users we know its daunting and intimidating, hopefully this gives you a better idea of what the f*** is going on with most peptides, but remember to exercise caution and consult with your doctor prior to any usage.

Below the individual peptides we’ve added sections on stacks, and we’ve also explained what all the columns mean below. If you want to learn more about an individual peptides click on it or view all our peptide guides below the peptide chart!

What Does Studied Dosage Mean?

The studied dose is the amount of a drug/agent which is proven most efficacious through multiple clinical trials. These trials help evaluate the optimum amount of a given drug that has maximum bioavailability and minimum to induce any negligible side effects.

It is therefore extremely crucial to abide by the correct dosage in order to mitigate the risk of developing any significant adverse effects at the expense of availing maximum benefits.

How Did We Find Typical Cycle Length?

Every peptide is cycled differently by various people. Cycle Length usually indicates the time period during which the drug starts showing its effects in the human body. For peptides, we referred to several clinical trials and user reviews to find the exact cycle length of each peptide.

How Did We Calculate the Timing of Dose?

There’s always a specific time for the intake of the drug alongside certain other precautions. With right timings, you can ensure a drug/supplement’s maximum bioavailability. In order to come up with the right time, we referred to user experiences/reviews as well as scientifically proven research.

What Does Use/Indication Mean?

Use/Indication highlights the purpose behind the intake of the chosen peptide. This is helpful for people to identify the most suitable peptide that would work for them and avoid the rest.

What Are the Recommended Forms to Use?

Recommended forms of peptides depend on the vendor as well as on its half life and bioavailability. Some drugs are only synthesized in injectable or capsule forms. Others can come in creams, skin patches, sprays etc.

While there may be different forms of peptide, it is usually the injectable form that provides the maximum bioavailability. However, injectable form is a strong contraindication in people with bleeding disorders or skin infections.

In general, the recommended form highly depends on the peptide that is being used.

Works perfectly fine. If it’s one bottle it’s just more convenient

Can it be stacked with AOD? Been researching AOD for almost 3 months now with nothing happening, my other half is researching CJC/IPA and also NOTHING happening. How long until we see some results. Can research be done with AOD M-F and CJC/IPA on weekends? Or does CJC/IPA need to be done weekly?

Stacking compounds has certain risks, but there are no studies showing these two together would be catastrophic. CJC/IPA needs to be done daily, and so does AOD as well, preferably. IF you are not seeing results, you might need to train/diet harder

What is a good starting dose of NAD+? Everyday?

hi, I’ve got a vial of BPC 157 powder, how much water do I mix and what volume do I inject. Vial only has 5mg/5,000mcg. What does that mean. thanks

great chart – thx for sharing – any chance you could add the “half life” or each peptide to it?

I purchased the S-23,S-4 and GW stack. What is suggested time to take them and dosage?

Hello and thanks for the excellent content! I have a question about peptide cycling. I did a 10 week cycle of CJC-1295/Ipamorelin and loved it. When the cycle was over, I didnt want to sit out for month, so I immediately did a 10 week cycle of Sermorelin/GHRP 2. I assume the sensitivity wouldn’t be impacted since I was using a different peptide to stimulate HGH release. Is my cycling method valid? After my Sermorelin cycle I went back to another cycle of CJC-1295/Sermorelin. I’ve noticed I don’t get the same feeling of a hot flash after injecting that I did before. I wonder if my body is desensitized to it, or perhaps the hot flash effect naturally lessens over time. id appreciate your thoughts on my technique of cycling without taking any time off.

Thanks in advance!!!

Can you use a different stack of peptides while in the middle of a 2month break from a cycle. Do u need to give your body a break from everything or can you start another cycle with different peptide.

Wow, this is an incredibly detailed and well-organized guide! I love how it breaks down each peptide stack with dosage, cycle length, timing, and indications. The inclusion of and links to recent studies makes it super helpful for beginners and experienced users alike. Definitely makes understanding peptides a lot less intimidating!
