- Before starting any peptide regimen, understand that different compounds require different administration strategies based on half-life, receptor dynamics, and stacking compatibility.
- CJC-1295 (no DAC)
- GH-releasing hormone analog. Stimulates pituitary GH secretion
- 100–200 mcg per injection
- 1–3 times daily, fasted state
- ~30 minutes
- Short half-life requires frequent dosing but allows precise control over GH pulses; often stacked with a GHRP
- CJC-1295 with DAC
- Extended-release GHRH analog. Sustained GH elevation
- 2 mg per week
- Once weekly, any time
- 6–8 days
- Sustained GH release over days reduces injection frequency; may blunt natural pulsatile GH secretion if used long-term
- Ipamorelin
- GHRP. Selective ghrelin receptor agonist
- 200–300 mcg per injection
- 2–3 times daily, fasted
- ~2 hours
- Minimal impact on cortisol or prolactin; synergizes with CJC-1295; short half-life limits convenience
- Tesofensine
- Triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor
- 0.25–1.0 mg daily
- Once daily, morning
- Not a peptide but often grouped in fat-loss research; acts centrally on appetite and energy expenditure; highest weight loss magnitude in trials
- Hexarelin
- Potent GHRP. Strongest GH pulse amplitude
- 100 mcg per injection
- 1–2 times daily, fasted
- ~70 minutes
- Strongest GH response but rapid desensitization after 10–16 weeks; cortisol elevation noted at higher doses
