Healing & recovery

BPC-157healing

Dose: 250–500 mcg · Half-life: ~4h

Routes: subcutaneous, intramuscular, oral

Uses: tendon repair, ligament healing, gut health, injury recovery

One of the most well-researched healing peptides. Systemic injection works for remote injuries.

GHK-Cuhealing

Dose: 1000–2000 mcg · Half-life: ~24h

Routes: subcutaneous, topical

One of the safest peptides. Widely used in anti-aging and skin protocols.

KPVhealing

Dose: 300–500 mcg · Half-life: ~2h

Routes: subcutaneous, oral

Uses: IBD, leaky gut, skin inflammation, gut healing

Excellent for IBD and Crohn's when taken orally before meals.

LL-37healing

Dose: 100–300 mcg · Half-life: ~2h

Routes: subcutaneous, topical, inhalation

Uses: chronic infection, immune modulation, skin wounds, respiratory conditions

Use with caution — immune modulating effects are strong.

TB-500healing

Dose: 2000–2500 mcg · Half-life: ~96h

Routes: subcutaneous, intramuscular

Uses: muscle injury, tendon repair, chronic inflammation, hair growth

Systemic peptide — does not need to be injected at injury site. High efficacy for chronic injuries.

GH secretagogues

CJC-1295 DACgh secretagogue

Dose: 1000–2000 mcg · Half-life: ~192h

Routes: subcutaneous

Uses: GH bleed optimization, anti-aging, body recomposition

Creates a GH "bleed" rather than a pulse. Some prefer no-DAC version for more physiological GH patterns.

CJC-1295 no DACgh secretagogue

Dose: 100–200 mcg · Half-life: ~0.5h

Routes: subcutaneous

Uses: GH pulse amplification, muscle growth, fat loss, anti-aging

Always stack with a GHRP/ghrelin agonist for full effect. The GHRH + GHRP combo mimics natural GH release.

GHRP-2gh secretagogue

Dose: 100–300 mcg · Half-life: ~1h

Routes: subcutaneous, intravenous

Uses: GH stimulation, hunger stimulation, muscle growth

More potent than Ipamorelin but more side effects. Good for bulking phases where hunger increase is desired.

GHRP-6gh secretagogue

Dose: 100–300 mcg · Half-life: ~2h

Routes: subcutaneous

Uses: GH release, appetite stimulation, muscle building

The hunger side effect is significant. Best used in hard bulking or underweight individuals.

Ipamorelingh secretagogue

Dose: 200–300 mcg · Half-life: ~2h

Routes: subcutaneous, intravenous

Uses: GH pulse optimization, anti-aging, sleep quality, muscle recovery

Best used 30–45 min before bed or pre-workout. Do not use within 2 hours of eating.

MK-677gh secretagogue

Dose: 10000–25000 mcg · Half-life: ~24h

Routes: oral

Uses: GH and IGF-1 elevation, sleep quality, muscle mass, bone density

Technically not a peptide but categorized as GH secretagogue. Oral convenience is major advantage.

Sermorelingh secretagogue

Dose: 200–500 mcg · Half-life: ~0.25h

Routes: subcutaneous

Uses: anti-aging, GH optimization, sleep improvement, body recomposition

One of the most prescribed peptides in anti-aging medicine. Safer long-term profile than HGH.

Tesamorelingh secretagogue

Dose: 1000–2000 mcg · Half-life: ~0.5h

Routes: subcutaneous

Uses: visceral fat reduction, GH optimization, HIV lipodystrophy

FDA-approved. Most potent GHRH analogue. Excellent visceral fat reduction data.

Fat loss

5-Amino-1MQfat loss

Dose: 50000–100000 mcg · Half-life: ~8h

Routes: oral

Uses: fat loss, metabolic optimization, NAD+ enhancement

Emerging compound. Preclinical data promising. Human data limited.

AOD-9604fat loss

Dose: 300–500 mcg · Half-life: ~1h

Routes: subcutaneous

Uses: fat loss, lipolysis, body recomposition

Best taken fasted, 30 min before exercise. Does not affect blood glucose or IGF-1.

Semaglutidefat loss

Dose: 250–2400 mcg · Half-life: ~168h

Routes: subcutaneous

Uses: weight loss, appetite suppression, blood sugar control, cardiovascular protection

FDA approved. Titrate weekly: 0.25mg → 0.5mg → 1mg → 1.7mg → 2.4mg. Slow titration reduces GI sides.

Tirzepatidefat loss

Dose: 2500–15000 mcg · Half-life: ~120h

Routes: subcutaneous

Uses: weight loss, insulin sensitization, cardiovascular protection, appetite suppression

FDA approved. More effective than semaglutide for weight loss. Titrate: 2.5mg → 5mg → 7.5mg → 10mg → 12.5mg → 15mg.

Cognitive

Dihexacognitive

Dose: 10–15 mg · Half-life: ~24h

Routes: oral, subcutaneous, topical

Uses: cognitive enhancement, memory formation, neurodegeneration, Alzheimer's research

Extremely potent. Limited human data. Not for casual use — serious cognitive enhancement only.

Epithaloncognitive

Dose: 5000–10000 mcg · Half-life: ~2h

Routes: subcutaneous, intravenous, intranasal

Uses: anti-aging, telomere lengthening, sleep improvement, immune modulation

One of the most researched anti-aging peptides. Typical protocol: 10mg/day for 10 days, twice yearly.

Selankcognitive
