- CJC-1295 (with DAC)
- GHRH receptor agonist. Sustained GH pulse elevation
- Once weekly
- Restores anabolic signaling, supports lean mass retention, improves sleep quality
- 2–8°C after reconstitution, use within 28 days
- Best single peptide for men prioritizing muscle retention and recovery. Synergistic with training
- Ipamorelin
- Selective ghrelin receptor agonist. GH release without cortisol spike
- Daily (often paired with CJC-1295)
- Lean mass support, fat oxidation, minimal side effects
- Ideal stacking partner with CJC-1295. Addresses GH decline through complementary pathway
- BPC-157
- Angiogenesis promoter, growth factor upregulation
- Daily or twice daily
- Accelerates tissue repair, supports gut health, reduces chronic inflammation
- Essential for men dealing with overuse injuries or joint pain. Works at injury site level
- Tesamorelin
- GHRH analogue. Visceral fat reduction
- Daily
- Targets stubborn abdominal fat, improves body composition
- FDA-approved for lipodystrophy. Strongest evidence for visceral adiposity reduction
- MOTS-c
- Mitochondrial peptide. AMPK activation, insulin sensitivity
- 2–3× weekly
- Metabolic optimization, glucose partitioning, endurance support
- Addresses metabolic slowdown. Particularly relevant for men with sedentary work
- Semax
- BDNF enhancer, dopamine/serotonin modulator
- Daily (intranasal)
- Cognitive performance, focus, stress resilience
- Room temperature (nasal spray formulation)
- Best nootropic peptide for men balancing high cognitive load with training stress
