  • This table compares the primary peptides used in testosterone-related research based on mechanism, half-life, dosing frequency, and documented effects on gonadotropin pathways.
  • CJC-1295 (with DAC)
  • GHRH analogue. Stimulates sustained GH release from anterior pituitary
  • 6–8 days
  • 2mg once weekly subcutaneous
  • Increases LH pulse frequency by 18–22% via GH-IGF-1-GnRH cascade
  • Best option for sustained GH elevation with minimal injection frequency. Mimics natural circadian hormone rhythm
  • Ipamorelin
  • Selective ghrelin receptor agonist. Triggers pulsatile GH release without cortisol/prolactin elevation
  • 2 hours
  • 200–300mcg three times daily
  • Indirect via GH peaks that align with natural LH surges during sleep
  • Ideal for protocols requiring multiple daily GH pulses without catabolic cortisol response
  • BPC-157
  • Gastric-derived peptide. Enhances tissue repair and hypothalamic-pituitary sensitivity
  • 4–6 hours
  • 250–500mcg twice daily
  • Restores GnRH responsiveness in suppressed hypothalamic tissue
  • Most effective for recovery from prior HPTA suppression or metabolic dysfunction affecting gonadotropin signaling
  • TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4)
  • Promotes angiogenesis and reduces inflammatory cytokines that inhibit Leydig cell function
  • 7–10 days
  • 2–5mg twice weekly
  • Removes inflammatory blockade to LH receptor signaling at testicular level
  • Best adjunct when inflammation (elevated IL-6/TNF-alpha) is suspected cause of low testosterone response to normal LH
  • Kisspeptin-10
  • Direct GnRH secretagogue. Stimulates hypothalamic GnRH neurons to increase LH/FSH output
  • 30 minutes
  • 1–2mcg/kg single dose
  • Direct and immediate. Increases LH by 400–800% within 60 minutes
  • Most potent for acute LH stimulation in research settings but requires continuous infusion for sustained effect
