- Thymalin
- Thymic peptide bioregulator. Upregulates thymic epithelial cell activity, increases naïve T-cell production
- 5–10mg subcutaneous daily for 10–20 days per cycle
- Immune markers improve within 7–14 days; skin repair effects measurable by week 3–4
- Essential for immune-mediated skin repair in 30s. The thymic decline component most generic stacks ignore entirely
- MK-677
- Growth hormone secretagogue. Mimics ghrelin to stimulate pulsatile GH release
- 10–25mg oral daily (continuous or 5-days-on/2-days-off)
- GH elevation measurable within 24 hours; dermal thickness changes require 8–12 weeks
- Gold standard for restoring GH pulsatility without exogenous hormone; critical for collagen synthesis support
- KPV
- Anti-inflammatory tripeptide. Inhibits NF-κB, reduces inflammatory cytokines
- 500–1000mcg subcutaneous 2–3x weekly
- Anti-inflammatory effects within 48–72 hours; cumulative antioxidant benefits by week 4
- Addresses oxidative stress and inflammation. Complements thymic and GH pathways by protecting existing collagen
- Cartalax
- Mitochondrial bioregulator. Upregulates antioxidant enzyme expression
- 10–20mg per cycle (10-day protocol)
- Mitochondrial function markers improve within 2 weeks; sustained effects for 4–6 weeks post-cycle
- Targeted mitochondrial support. Pairs exceptionally well with GH secretagogues by ensuring fibroblasts can utilize increased growth signals
