- Before selecting a peptide protocol, understanding how different compounds compare on mechanism, timeline, and practical implementation determines which approach fits specific metabolic profiles and lifestyle constraints.
- CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
- Restores GH pulsatility; activates hormone-sensitive lipase for lipolysis
- 4–6 weeks for body composition shift; 8–12 weeks for significant weight reduction
- Daily (Ipamorelin) + twice weekly (CJC-1295 DAC)
- Best option for preserving lean mass during deficit; requires consistent dosing discipline and adequate dietary protein
- Tesofensine
- Inhibits serotonin/norepinephrine/dopamine reuptake; suppresses appetite and increases thermogenesis
- 2–4 weeks for appetite suppression; 8–10 weeks for weight reduction plateau
- Once daily oral administration
- Effective for appetite-driven weight gain; cardiovascular monitoring required due to stimulant-like effects
- Semaglutide (GLP-1 agonist)
- Slows gastric emptying; extends satiety signaling; reduces ghrelin rebound
- 1–2 weeks for appetite suppression; 8–12 weeks for 5%+ body weight reduction
- Weekly subcutaneous injection
- Gold standard for appetite modulation; less effective for lean mass preservation without resistance training
- AOD-9604
- Fragment of GH molecule targeting lipolysis without IGF-1 elevation
- 6–8 weeks for localized fat reduction; slower systemic weight loss
- Daily subcutaneous injection
- Minimal muscle-building effect; useful for stubborn adipose deposits resistant to diet alone
