Tesamorelin
GH / Muscle Growth
Use Carefully
Tells your pituitary to release more growth hormone. You lose body fat (especially visceral), build muscle easier, recover faster, and sleep deeper.
Dose
2mg / day
Timing
Before bed
Method
SubQ injection
Supplier
Synova 10mg

Side Effects

  • Joint pain and swelling
  • Water retention
  • Carpal tunnel tingling
  • Insulin resistance with prolonged use

Risks

Monitor IGF-1 and fasting glucose every 8-12 weeks. Consider cycling (e.g. 3 months on, 1 month off) rather than running indefinitely. If you get carpal tunnel symptoms, reduce dose before dropping.

Notes

FDA-approved for visceral fat reduction. Strongest evidence base of any GH secretagogue. Most potent when stacked with CJC/Ipa at bedtime.

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
GH / Muscle Growth
Moderate
Amplifies and extends the growth hormone pulse. Stacked with Tesamorelin, your GH output is significantly higher than any of them alone.
Dose
100+100mcg / day
Timing
Before bed
Method
SubQ injection
Supplier
Synova 5+5mg

Side Effects

  • Flushing and warmth after injection
  • Head rush or dizziness (brief)
  • Tingling at injection site

Risks

Low risk. Ipamorelin is the cleanest GHRP available. No cortisol, prolactin, or hunger spikes unlike GHRP-6 or Hexarelin.

BPC-157 + TB-500
Recovery & Healing
Very Safe
Accelerates tissue repair throughout your body. Tendons, ligaments, gut lining, muscle tears - anything damaged heals faster. Joint pain fades. You feel resilient.
Dose
500+500mcg / day
Timing
Morning
Method
SubQ injection
Supplier
Synova 5+5mg

Side Effects

  • Rarely anything
  • Occasional headache or mild nausea

Risks

Theoretical concern that BPC could promote growth of existing tumors (no confirmed human cases). If you have a known tumor, skip BPC. Otherwise very safe for long-term use.

AOD-9604
Fat Loss
Moderate
Breaks down fat and blocks new fat from forming. No effect on muscle, mood, or hormones. Pure fat loss.
Dose
300mcg / day
Timing
Morning (fasted)
Method
SubQ injection
Supplier
Synova 10mg

Side Effects

  • Injection site redness
  • Occasional headache

Risks

Very low. It's the fat-burning fragment of GH without any systemic GH effects. If stacking with Reta, monitor for excessive weight loss (>1kg/week). Drop AOD first if that happens since Reta is doing the heavy lifting.

5-Amino-IMQ
Fat Loss
Moderate
Increases metabolism at the cellular level by activating NAD+ inside fat cells. Your body burns more energy at rest.
Dose
50-100mg / day
Timing
Morning
Method
SubQ injection
Supplier
Newtech 50mg

Side Effects

  • Less documented than other peptides
  • Some report injection site discomfort

Risks

Least studied peptide in your stack. NNMT inhibition is a newer mechanism. You're an early adopter. Pay close attention to how you feel and drop it first if anything feels off.

Semax
Cognitive / Neuro
Very Safe
Increases BDNF (brain growth factor). Sharper focus, better memory, clearer thinking. Noticeable within days.
Dose
600mcg / day
Timing
Morning
Method
Intranasal spray
Supplier
Synova 10mg

Side Effects

  • Rare headache
  • Mild irritability at high doses

Risks

Very low. Decades of clinical use in Russia for stroke recovery and cognitive decline. No injection needed - nasal spray. Easy to travel with.

Selank
Cognitive / Neuro
Very Safe
Reduces anxiety and lifts mood without sedation. Calm, clear-headed focus. Also strengthens immune function.
Dose
250mcg / day
Timing
Morning
Method
Intranasal spray
Supplier
Synova 5mg

Side Effects

  • Very rare. Mild fatigue in some people

Risks

Very low. No dependency or withdrawal. Not a benzo - works on GABA differently. Safe for long-term daily use.

DSIP
Sleep
Very Safe
Pushes you into deep delta-wave sleep. You wake up feeling fully restored. Also increases overnight growth hormone release.
Dose
100mcg / day
Timing
Before bed
Method
SubQ injection
Supplier
Synova 5mg

Side Effects

  • Morning grogginess if dose is too high
  • Occasional headache

Risks

Low. Start at 50-100mcg, find your sweet spot. Not habit-forming. If you get GH-related sides (joint swelling, water retention), drop DSIP first since Tesamorelin + CJC/Ipa already cover GH release.

Thymosin Alpha 1
Immune
Very Safe
Supercharges your immune system's T-cells. You stop getting sick. Important when training hard in a tropical climate.
Dose
1.6mg 2-3x/wk
Timing
Morning
Method
SubQ injection
Supplier
Synova 10mg

Side Effects

  • Injection site discomfort. Rarely anything systemic

Risks

Very low. FDA orphan drug status. Used clinically for hepatitis B/C and immune support in cancer patients.

KPV
Immune / Anti-Inflammatory
Very Safe
Shuts down systemic inflammation. Gut issues, training-related inflammation, skin inflammation - all reduce.
Dose
500mcg / day
Timing
Morning
Method
SubQ injection
Supplier
Synova 10mg

Side Effects

  • Minimal. Occasional mild nausea

Risks

Low. It's a tiny tripeptide fragment - very targeted mechanism via melanocortin receptors.

GHK-Cu
Anti-Aging / Skin
Very Safe
Stimulates collagen production, skin regeneration, wound healing, and hair growth. Visible skin improvements within weeks.
Dose
2mg / day
Timing
Morning
Method
SubQ injection
Supplier
Synova 100mg

Side Effects

  • Injection site irritation. Topical form has zero sides

Risks

Very low. One of the most studied peptides in dermatology. Can also use topically for skin-specific benefits.

Epithalon
Anti-Aging
Very Safe
Activates telomerase to rebuild telomeres (the DNA caps that shorten as you age). Slows aging at the cellular level. Run 10 days on, months off.
Dose
5mg / day x 10 days
Timing
Before bed
Method
SubQ injection
Supplier
Synova 10mg

Side Effects

  • Minimal. Short cycle means limited exposure

Risks

Low. Studied by Professor Khavinson for 20+ years. Also gives a noticeable GH bump during the 10-day cycle. Run every 4-6 months.

Thymalin
Anti-Aging / Immune
Very Safe
Regenerates your thymus gland so your immune system functions like it did when you were younger. Designed to pair with Epithalon.
Dose
5mg / day x 10 days
Timing
Before bed
Method
SubQ injection
Supplier
Synova 10mg

Side Effects

  • Minimal

Risks

Low. Same researcher and clinical history as Epithalon. Run both together during the 10-day cycle every 4-6 months.

Tirzepatide
Fat Loss / Weight Loss
Medical Supervision
Dual GLP-1 + GIP appetite control. No glucagon arm, so no forced energy burn and a smaller heart-rate bump than Reta. Proven and forgiving, easy to hold at one dose.
Dose
5mg (50 units)
Timing
1x/week
Method
SubQ injection
Supplier
Synova 10mg vial

Side Effects

  • Nausea, mostly the day or two after a dose change
  • Constipation or diarrhea
  • Acid reflux

Risks

Gallstones from rapid fat loss - eat some fat, stay hydrated. Muscle loss if protein is too low - keep at 1g/lb+ and keep lifting. Thyroid C-cell concern from rodent studies (theoretical, not confirmed in humans). Small resting heart-rate rise (a few bpm, far less than Reta), so skip freediving on dose day. Requires bloodwork: metabolic panel, thyroid, A1C at baseline and 8 weeks.

Notes

On the 5mg pen, 1.5 doses (7.5mg) was too much. Now running 5mg weekly: 1ml BAC mix, 50 units, half the vial. Step to 60 units (6mg) only if hunger breaks through.

Ipamorelin (10mg vial, 3.5ml BAC)GHRP — triggers GH pulse. 100mcg = saturation. 10mg vial too concentrated to make 0.1ml work without wasting, so small draw it is.~100mcg4 units (0.04ml)SubQ — use 0.3ml syringe
1x/Week — Tirzepatide
StepDoseHow MuchNotes
Start + hold5mg (1 pen dose)50 units (0.5ml)Half the vial. Simple, and a notch under the 6.25mg you calibrated
Only if hunger breaks through6mg60 units (0.6ml)One small step up
Known too high7.5mg (1.5 pen doses)75 units (0.75ml)Don't go back here
Mix: 10mg vial + 1ml BAC water (a full 100-unit syringe) = 10mg/ml. Units ÷ 10 = mg, so 50 units = 5mg. Each vial = exactly 2 doses.

Switching from Reta: first tirzepatide shot on your normal weekly day, 7 days after your last Reta. Never both in the same week.

Supply: 2 doses per vial, so your 7 vials cover 14 weeks. The full 3 months is covered, no extra vial needed.

Research vial vs pharma pen: the mg can differ slightly, so judge week 1 by appetite, not the label.
Melanotan II — RESTART (4-5 weeks off, tan faded)
PhaseDoseHow MuchFrequency
Re-load~267mcg8 units (0.08ml)Every 3rd day. Reassess after 2-3 doses
Then hold~167mcg5 units (0.05ml)Drop to this once color is back, top up only when it fades
NOT the full from-scratch protocol. Strong responder + olive skin = you're nowhere near pale-baseline even after the break. Use the micro re-load, not the aggressive beginner ramp.

Reconstitution: 10mg vial + 3ml BAC water = 3.33mg/ml. Inject before bed.
Stop early: you overshoot, and tan keeps building 1-2 weeks after the last dose. Check yourself after 2-3 doses.
Face-freckle protection: SPF on the FACE only during sun/bed sessions, let the body take the UV. The freckle is your canary — if it darkens, you've done enough.

Summary: 24 out of 26 markers in range. 2 mild flags (ALT, hs-CRP), 1 borderline (Total Cholesterol). 2 markers not tested (IGF-1, Fasting Insulin — add to 8-week retest). All clear to start peptide protocol.

ALT — 49 U/L (ref <41)

Mildly elevated. Likely from intense training before the draw — heavy lifting can raise ALT for 24-48hrs. Not a concern at this level, but worth watching since BPC-157 and GH peptides are liver-processed. If it climbs above 70 at retest, investigate further.

hs-CRP — 3.2 mg/L (ref <1.0)

Indicates mild systemic inflammation. Could be from training, diet, sleep, or low-grade stress. TB-500, BPC-157, and KPV should all help lower this. Target: under 1.0 at 8-week retest. If it doesn't drop, look at diet and recovery.

Total Cholesterol — 218 mg/dL (ref <200)

Borderline high, but your ratios are excellent — HDL 76, triglycerides 79. Your HDL:Total ratio (0.35) is very good. GH peptides can nudge total cholesterol up slightly, so monitor at retest. Not a concern with these ratios.

What's excellent: Testosterone 642 ng/dL (solid mid-range), HDL 76 (protective), HbA1c 5.0% (pristine glucose control), Kidney function perfect, Thyroid all optimal, SHBG 32 (ideal for free T availability), Vitamin D 47.9 (sufficient).
Retest at 8 weeks after starting the stack. Repeat the full baseline panel plus the two missing markers below.

IGF-1 (NEW — add to retest)

Tracks whether GH peptides (Tesamorelin, CJC/Ipa) are actually raising growth hormone output. This is the key effectiveness marker.

Target: 200-350 ng/mL (healthy elevated range)

Fasting Insulin (NEW — add to retest)

Combined with fasting glucose, calculates HOMA-IR (insulin resistance). Important because Tesamorelin (GH) can nudge insulin sensitivity down, while tirzepatide pushes it back up.

Target: 2-6 µIU/mL (optimal insulin sensitivity)

ALT — watch for change

Currently 49 (mildly elevated). Should stay stable or drop if training load is managed before draw.

Target: <41 U/L (within range)

hs-CRP — expect improvement

Currently 3.2. TB-500, BPC-157, and KPV are anti-inflammatory — this should come down.

Target: <1.0 mg/L (low inflammation)

Total Cholesterol — monitor

Currently 218. GH peptides can raise slightly. Ratios matter more than total number — keep HDL high.

Target: <200 mg/dL (or stable ratios)

Full repeat panel

Liver, kidney, lipids, CBC, thyroid, testosterone, cortisol, DHEA-S, SHBG, HbA1c, Vitamin D. Same as baseline to compare all values.

How to Use — Reconstitution & Dosing
Step-by-step for your current stack: Tirzepatide, Tesa, Ipamorelin, Melanotan II. You need: BAC water (bacteriostatic water), insulin syringes (1ml / 100 units and 0.3ml / 30 units), alcohol swabs.
Tirzepatide — 10mg vial ▸
StepDetail
1. Warm upIf the sealed vial was in the fridge or freezer, leave it on the counter 20-30 min before opening so no condensation hits the powder
2. Add BAC water1ml (a full 100-unit syringe), slowly down the side of the vial, not onto the powder
3. MixGently swirl until fully clear. Never shake
Concentration10mg per ml. Units ÷ 10 = mg
StoreMixed vial: fridge (back, not the door), use within 4 weeks, never freeze. Sealed spares: fridge is fine for the 3 months
Dosing — once a week, same day, SubQ (belly or thigh)
Draw to 50 units (0.5ml) = 5mg, half the vial
Hunger breaking through? 60 units (6mg). Never 75 units (7.5mg), that was too much last time.

Each vial = exactly 2 doses, no topping up across vials. 26g to draw, 30g to inject.
Ipamorelin — 10mg vial (Ipa-only) ▸
StepDetail
Add BAC water3.5ml (vial max you could fit). Inject slowly down the side.
MixGently swirl until clear
Concentration2.86mg/ml Ipamorelin
StoreFridge. Lasts 4-6 weeks once mixed
Use 0.3ml / 30-unit insulin syringes for this. Wider unit markings make the 10-unit line easy to hit.
Dosing — every night before bed, SubQ (belly or thigh)
Draw to 4 units (0.04ml) = ~100mcg

100mcg is the saturation dose — no benefit going higher. The 10mg vial is too concentrated (2.86mg/ml) to make a clean 0.1ml draw without wasting peptide, so the accurate dose is a small 4-unit draw. Use the 0.3ml syringe — 4 units is clearly marked on that barrel. Vial lasts ~35 days. Pairs with Tesa to amplify GH pulse.
Tesamorelin — 10mg vial ▸
StepDetail
Add BAC water (next vial)1ml — inject slowly down the side of the vial
MixGently swirl — do NOT shake hard (volatile peptide)
Concentration10mg/ml
StoreFridge. Lasts 7-14 days once mixed (shorter shelf life than CJC/Ipa)
Dosing — every night before bed, empty stomach, SubQ (belly or thigh)
Draw 15 units (0.15ml) = 1.5mg

Ipa synergy (from current blend or future Ipa-only vial) lets you run this lower dose with equivalent GH pulse to 2mg solo. No food 2hr before — insulin blunts GH release. At 1.5mg/day: vial lasts ~6-7 days. ~4 vials/month. Reassess IGF-1 at 8-week bloods to confirm synergy is working — if low, bump back to 2mg.
Melanotan II — 10mg vial (CYCLE only — Bali tan) ▸
StepDetail
BAC water3ml (already mixed)
MixGently swirl until clear
Concentration3.33mg/ml (3,333mcg per ml)
StoreFridge. Lasts 4-6 weeks once mixed
SyringeStandard 1ml / 100-unit insulin syringe
Loading protocol — strong responder + olive skin
~267mcg = 8 units (0.08ml) per dose
Every 4 days × 4 doses = ~2 week loading phase
Inject before bed (sleep through any nausea)

Schedule: Day 1 → Day 5 → Day 9 → Day 13
After loading: STOP. Watch for 10 days. Tan lags 1-2 weeks behind dosing.
Touch-up (optional): Single 8-unit dose if tan is too light after assessment.

Total cycle: ~1.07mg cumulative (1/6 of standard MT-II loading protocol). Cycle once per season.
Sun protocol during cycle:
• 15-20 min midday sun, 3-4x/week
• Surf, beach walk, pool lounge all count
• No SPF on body during exposure window — apply after
• Don't bake (no 1+ hour sessions) — short consistent exposure beats long
Strong-responder failsafe: After dose 3, look at yourself in natural light. If already noticeably darker than baseline, SKIP dose 4. Tan keeps developing for 1-2 weeks after last dose regardless.

Side effects: nausea (take 4mg ondansetron 30min before if needed) · flushing (transient) · spontaneous erections (bonus) · mole monitoring not required (derm cleared, next check at 40) but stop if any mole changes shape/color.
General Injection Tips

1. Draw with 26g needle, swap to 30g needle to inject — the 26g pushes through the rubber stopper easier, the 30g is sharper and thinner for a painless injection. Tiny amount of dead space when swapping (~0.01ml) — negligible at peptide doses.
1a. Reconstitution rule: aim for draws of 0.08ml (8 units) or above — smaller than that and measurement error on the syringe gets big. Add more BAC water if the draw would be tiny.
2. Wipe the vial rubber top with an alcohol swab before every draw
3. Draw BAC water/peptide slowly — rushing creates bubbles
4. Pinch a fold of belly or thigh skin, insert needle at 45°, inject slowly
5. Rotate injection sites — don't hit the same spot daily
6. Use a fresh syringe + needles for every injection — never reuse
7. Store all reconstituted vials upright in the fridge (not the door — too warm)
8. BAC water lasts months at room temp. Never use regular water — only bacteriostatic
9. If a vial goes cloudy or has floaters after mixing, toss it
10. Dispose of all used needles in a sharps container — never in regular trash
