- Growth Hormone Secretagogues (e.g., MK-677)
- Ghrelin receptor agonism stimulating pulsatile GH release
- Daily or twice-daily
- Moderate. Refrigeration required post-reconstitution
- Low. Stable across pH 4–7 range
- Best beginner option due to forgiving storage requirements and consistent bioactivity across reconstitution methods
- Cognitive Enhancement Peptides (e.g., Cerebrolysin, Dihexa)
- BDNF pathway activation and synaptic plasticity modulation
- Variable. Often cycled 5 days on, 2 days off
- High. Cerebrolysin requires ampule storage; Dihexa extremely temperature-sensitive
- High. Dihexa degrades rapidly if reconstitution exceeds 30 seconds
- Intermediate researchers only. Requires precise timing and immediate refrigeration after mixing
- Metabolic Modulators (e.g., Tesofensine)
- Triple monoamine reuptake inhibition affecting dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine
- Once daily, typically morning administration
- Moderate. Standard refrigeration adequate
- Moderate. Sensitive to alkaline pH during mixing
- Requires baseline cardiovascular assessment before use. Not recommended for peptide beginners
- Immune Regulators (e.g., Thymalin, KPV)
- Thymic hormone mimicry and NF-κB pathway inhibition
- Intermittent. Typically 10-day cycles
- Low. Lyophilised form stable at room temperature pre-reconstitution
- Low. Robust across reconstitution conditions
- Excellent choice for beginners researching immune function due to wide therapeutic window and minimal storage demands
