<\!-- BPC-157 -->

BPC-157

Body Protection Compound · 15 amino acids

Recovery

Primary Uses

Tendon/ligament repair, gut lining healing, wound healing, anti-inflammatory

Dosing Range

250–500 mcg/day · Subcutaneous or oral (gut focus)

Timing

Once daily, AM on empty stomach or split AM/PM

Cycle Length

4–12 weeks, then 4–8 week break

Half-Life

~4 hours (short — daily dosing needed)

Reconstitution

Add 1–2 mL bacteriostatic water. Gently swirl — do not shake. Draw from side of vial.

Storage

Lyophilized: room temp or fridge. Reconstituted: refrigerate, use within 14–30 days.

Stacks well with: TB-500 (synergistic tissue repair), Selank (inflammation + gut).
Timing note: If using oral for gut, no injection needed.

<\!-- TB-500 -->

TB-500

Thymosin Beta-4 fragment · Actin-binding

Recovery

Primary Uses

Tissue regeneration, muscle recovery, angiogenesis, reduced inflammation

Dosing Range

2.0–2.5 mg twice weekly (loading) → 2.0 mg/week (maintenance)

Timing

Monday/Thursday pattern. Subcutaneous or IM.

Cycle Length

4–6 week loading, then maintenance or break

Half-Life

~24–48 hours (allows less frequent dosing)

Reconstitution

Add 2 mL bacteriostatic water to 5 mg vial. Gently swirl. Store at 4°C after reconstitution.

Storage

Lyophilized: fridge preferred. Reconstituted: refrigerate, use within 28 days.

Stacks well with: BPC-157 (gold standard recovery stack), GHK-Cu (skin healing).
Note: Best results when started immediately after acute injury.

<\!-- GHK-Cu -->

GHK-Cu

Glycine-Histidine-Lysine Copper · Tripeptide

Skin / Anti-aging

Primary Uses

Collagen synthesis, skin repair, anti-aging, wound healing, hair growth support

Dosing Range

Systemic: 1–2 mg/day subQ · Topical: 1–4% solution applied AM/PM

Timing

Daily. Topical: clean skin before application. SubQ: any time.

Cycle Length

8–12 weeks, then 4–6 week break. Topical can be continuous.

Half-Life

~15–30 min (systemic) · Topical absorption varies by formulation

Reconstitution

Add 1–2 mL bacteriostatic water. Stable under refrigeration. Slight blue tint is normal (copper).

Storage

Fridge in dark container. Reconstituted: 14–21 days. Protect from light and heat.

Stacks well with: Epithalon (anti-aging protocol), BPC-157 (wound healing).
Avoid: High-dose Vitamin C alongside topical (may reduce copper bioavailability).

<\!-- CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin -->

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin

GHRH analogue + Ghrelin mimetic · GH secretagogue stack

GH Axis

Primary Uses

Growth hormone pulse amplification, body composition, recovery, sleep quality, anti-aging

Dosing Range

CJC-1295: 100–300 mcg · Ipamorelin: 100–300 mcg · Dosed together

Timing

30–60 min before sleep (maximize natural GH pulse). Fasted — no food 2 hrs prior.

Cycle Length

3–6 months on, 1–2 months off. Some cycle 5 days on / 2 off.

Half-Life

CJC-1295 w/ DAC: ~8 days · CJC no DAC: ~30 min · Ipamorelin: ~2 hours

Reconstitution

Each vial separately with 1–2 mL bacteriostatic water. Combine in syringe at time of injection.

Storage

Reconstituted: refrigerate, use within 30 days. Keep away from light.

Stacks well with: BPC-157 (enhanced recovery), Epithalon (longevity protocol).
Avoid: Dosing after carb-heavy meals — insulin blunts GH release.

<\!-- Semax -->

Semax

ACTH(4-7) analogue · Nootropic neuropeptide

Cognitive

Primary Uses

Cognitive enhancement, BDNF upregulation, focus, neuroprotection, stroke recovery support

Dosing Range

300–600 mcg/day · Intranasal (most common) or subcutaneous

Timing

AM or split AM/midday. Avoid late PM (stimulating). Intranasal: 1–2 drops per nostril.

Cycle Length

2–4 weeks on, 2 weeks off. Avoid continuous use — tolerance risk.

Half-Life

~20–30 min. Nasal route offers fast CNS uptake via olfactory pathway.

Reconstitution

Add 1 mL sterile saline or bacteriostatic water. For intranasal: use a nasal dropper. Refrigerate immediately.

Storage

Reconstituted: refrigerate, use within 14 days. Protect from light. Do not freeze after mixing.

Stacks well with: Selank (balanced anxiolytic + cognitive effect), NA-Semax (more potent variant).
Avoid stacking: Other stimulants or high-dose racetams on same day.

<\!-- Selank -->

Selank

Tuftsin analogue · Anxiolytic neuropeptide

Cognitive / Mood

Primary Uses

Anxiety reduction, stress resilience, mood stabilization, focus, mild cognitive enhancement

Dosing Range

250–500 mcg/day · Intranasal preferred (crosses BBB efficiently)

Timing

AM, or as needed for anxiety/stress events. Can use pre-stressor (before meetings, etc.).

Cycle Length

2–4 weeks continuous, or as-needed. No significant dependency reported in literature.

Half-Life

~3–5 min systemic, but CNS effects persist ~4–6 hours via nasal route

Reconstitution

Add 1 mL sterile saline. For intranasal use: nasal dropper bottle. Gently swirl.

Storage

Reconstituted: refrigerate, use within 14 days. Do not freeze liquid form.

Stacks well with: Semax (cognitive + mood balance), BPC-157 (gut-brain axis, anxiety link).
Note: Generally calming — good evening or high-stress use-case peptide.

<\!-- Epithalon -->

Epithalon

Epithalamin synthetic analogue · Tetrapeptide

Longevity

Primary Uses

Telomere extension, pineal gland support, sleep regulation, cellular longevity, anti-aging

Dosing Range

5–10 mg/day for 10–20 day course, then 6-month break. SubQ or IM.

Timing

PM preferred (supports melatonin/pineal function). Once daily during course.

Cycle Length

10–20 day courses, 2x per year. Not for daily continuous use.

Half-Life

~2–3 hours. Longer-term epigenetic effects may persist beyond the cycle.

Reconstitution

Add 1–2 mL bacteriostatic water to lyophilized powder. Gently swirl. Do not shake vigorously.

Storage

Lyophilized: fridge or freezer (years stable). Reconstituted: refrigerate, use within 21 days.

Stacks well with: GHK-Cu (anti-aging protocol), CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin (longevity stack).
Note: Periodic course dosing — not continuous. Run 1–2x/year maximum.
