BPC-157

Body Protection Compound

Recovery

A synthetic peptide studied for tissue repair, gut lining support, and tendon/ligament recovery.

RecoveryGut healthInjury support
Often split into 1-2 daily doses, frequently near the affected area or with food.
Research is largely preclinical. Discuss sourcing and sterility with a qualified clinician.

TB-500

Thymosin Beta-4 fragment

Recovery

Explored for systemic recovery, flexibility, and inflammation modulation.

RecoveryMobility
Commonly dosed a few times per week in loading then maintenance phases.
Often paired conceptually with BPC-157 in recovery stacks.

Ipamorelin

Growth

A selective growth hormone secretagogue studied for GH release with minimal effect on cortisol.

RecoveryBody compositionSleep
Frequently dosed before bed on an empty stomach.
Sometimes combined with CJC-1295. Timing around food matters for GH response.

CJC-1295

Growth

A growth hormone-releasing hormone analog that extends GH pulse duration.

RecoveryBody composition
Often paired with a secretagogue; dosing cadence varies by formulation (DAC vs no-DAC).
Formulation greatly affects half-life and scheduling.

Semaglutide

GLP-1 agonist

Metabolic

A GLP-1 receptor agonist widely studied for appetite regulation and metabolic health.

WeightMetabolic healthAppetite
Typically a once-weekly injection with gradual titration.
Prescription medication in most regions. GI side effects are common during titration.

Tirzepatide

GIP/GLP-1 agonist

Metabolic

A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist studied for weight and glycemic control.

WeightMetabolic health
Once-weekly with titration over several weeks.
Prescription medication. Track appetite, nausea, and weight trends carefully.

Tesamorelin

Metabolic

A GHRH analog studied for visceral fat reduction.

Body compositionMetabolic health
Commonly a daily subcutaneous dose.
Monitor metabolic markers with a clinician.

Epitalon

Epithalon

Longevity

A peptide explored in longevity research for circadian and telomere-related pathways.

LongevitySleep
Often cycled in short courses a few times per year.
Evidence is early-stage; approach claims with skepticism.

Selank

Cognitive

An anxiolytic peptide studied for stress modulation and focus.

ClarityStressMood
Commonly intranasal, dosed as needed or daily.
Subjective effects vary; track mood and clarity signals.

Semax

Cognitive

A nootropic peptide explored for focus, memory, and neuroprotection.

ClarityFocusMotivation
Commonly intranasal, often in the morning.
Often discussed alongside Selank for cognitive stacks.
