- Growth Hormone Secretagogues (MK 677, CJC1295/Ipamorelin)
- Moderate benefit. Early GH pulse may interfere with exercise-induced GH elevation
- High benefit. Amplifies endogenous post-practice GH pulse, extends anabolic window
- 30–45 minutes post-practice
- Post-practice timing produces 25–40% higher peak IGF-1 response in research models
- Cognitive Peptides (Dihexa, Cerebrolysin, P21)
- Low benefit. Sympathetic activation during practice can reduce cerebral receptor availability
- High benefit. Parasympathetic state enhances neuroplasticity signaling and BDNF expression
- 60–90 minutes post-practice, ideally before sleep
- Cognitive peptides benefit most from parasympathetic-dominant states; avoid pre-practice dosing
- Immune Modulators (Thymalin, KPV)
- Low benefit. Exercise-induced inflammation may mask peptide-specific immune effects
- Moderate-to-high benefit. Post-practice immune signaling is more receptive to modulation
- 60–120 minutes post-practice
- Thymalin shows optimal immune priming when administered during recovery, not exertion
- Metabolic Peptides (Tesofensine, GLP-1 analogs)
- Moderate benefit. May enhance fat oxidation during practice but can cause nausea
- Low benefit. Appetite suppression post-practice may interfere with recovery nutrition
- 2–3 hours pre-practice or separate from practice entirely
- GLP-1 analogs work independently of yoga timing; avoid close proximity to practice
