- GH Secretagogue (MK 677)
- Elevates pulsatile GH and IGF-1 to accelerate protein synthesis
- Hypertrophy blocks or high-volume phases
- 60–90 min before sleep, 3–4x weekly
- Muscular tissue repair
- Most effective when sleep quality is already optimised. Does not compensate for inadequate rest
- Thymosin (Thymalin)
- Modulates immune response and reduces systemic inflammation markers
- Competition prep or high-frequency training
- Post-training on hardest days, 2–3x weekly
- Immune system and inflammation control
- Valuable during phases where cumulative inflammation impairs appetite or sleep. Not a substitute for deload weeks
- BPC-157
- Upregulates VEGF, improving blood flow to damaged tissues
- Injury recovery or tendon overuse
- Daily during acute injury phases, then cycle off
- Connective tissue and vascular repair
- Highly specific to injury. Less relevant for general overtraining prevention unless localised tissue damage is the primary limiter
- Stacked Multi-Peptide
- Targets multiple systems simultaneously
- Complex training demands or returning from injury
- Variable. Requires individual monitoring
- Muscular, immune, connective tissue
- Higher cost and complexity. Most athletes see better results optimising one pathway first before stacking
