- Growth Hormone Secretagogues (MK 677, CJC-1295)
- Anabolic signaling, tissue repair studies
- Daily to weekly depending on compound half-life
- –20°C (lyophilised), some formulations room-stable
- 14–28 days at 2–8°C
- Injection timing relative to food intake (fasted state optimises GH pulse), expected appetite increase during first 2 weeks, blood glucose monitoring if diabetic
- Neuropeptides (Cerebrolysin, Dihexa, P21)
- Cognitive function, neuroplasticity research
- Daily to 3x weekly depending on protocol
- –20°C for lyophilised formulations
- 14–21 days at 2–8°C (shorter than metabolic peptides)
- Cognitive assessment baseline required, avoid alcohol during study period, subjective effects often delayed 4–6 weeks, not a nootropic 'buzz'
- Metabolic Modulators (Tesofensine, SLU PP 332)
- Energy expenditure, thermogenesis studies
- Daily to twice daily depending on compound
- Room temperature for some formulations, –20°C for others
- Varies. Some stable 30+ days refrigerated
- Heart rate and blood pressure monitoring required, dose-dependent appetite suppression, avoid taking within 6 hours of bedtime (stimulant-class effects)
- Immune Modulators (Thymalin, KPV)
- Thymic function, inflammatory response research
- 2–3x weekly for most protocols
- –20°C (strict. Thymic peptides are especially fragile)
- 14 days at 2–8°C maximum
- Effects are not subjectively noticeable (immune markers measured via lab work), injection site reactions more common than with metabolic peptides, concurrent infection may alter response
