- This table contrasts timing strategies based on peptide class and meal composition.
- Growth Hormone Secretagogues (MK 677, CJC1295)
- 90–120 minutes
- 3+ hours after high-leucine meal
- Moderate (zinc-dependent)
- Low-phytate breakfast (oats soaked overnight, berries)
- Maximize fasting administration. GH pulses are blunted by elevated insulin from meals
- Tissue Repair Peptides (BPC-157, Thymalin)
- 60–90 minutes
- 2+ hours after legume-based meal
- High (requires zinc, magnesium cofactors)
- Sprouted lentils, leafy greens (phytate reduced 40–60% through sprouting)
- Separate from high-phytate meals by minimum two hours. Competitive mineral binding negates therapeutic effect
- Cognitive Peptides (Cerebrolysin, Dihexa, P21)
- 60 minutes (empty stomach)
- 90+ minutes before high-fat meal
- Low (minimal mineral dependence)
- Nut butter, avocado post-dose (supports lipid-mediated BBB transport)
- Fat intake 90+ minutes post-dose enhances blood-brain barrier crossing for lipophilic peptides
- Metabolic Peptides (Tesofensine, Survodutide, Mazdutide)
- 30–60 minutes
- 60+ minutes after fiber-rich meal
- Low
- High-fiber bowl (chia, flax, greens) dosed after peptide clears initial absorption
- Fiber slows gastric emptying. Dose peptide first to preserve satiety signaling before dietary bulk
