Protocols
Standalone protocols
Multi-peptide and mono protocols, with goal, tier, cycle length, per-peptide dosing, and an embedded calculator on every page. Each dose is composed from that peptide's own cited page, never invented here.
17 protocols
- RecoveryIntermediate
BPC-157 + TB-500 for soft-tissue recovery
This recovery stack pairs TB-500, which draws repair cells toward the injury, with BPC-157, which rebuilds the tissue and its blood supply.
8 weeks + 4-week washout
- RecoveryIntermediate
KPV + BPC-157 for gut and inflammation
KPV calms the inflammatory signaling. BPC-157 rebuilds the gut lining and tissue. Together they give two complementary levers, calm and repair.
4–8 weeks + 2–4-week washout
- PerformanceIntermediate
CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin for GH optimization
CJC-1295 tells the pituitary to release GH. Ipamorelin amplifies the same pulse through a second receptor. Together the two levers produce a larger, cleaner release than either alone.
8–12 weeks + 4–6-week washout
- MetabolicBeginner
5-Amino-1MQ for metabolic support
5-Amino-1MQ blocks NNMT, an enzyme that uses up an NAD+ building block. People run 5 mg under the skin each morning, in blocks with breaks.
Daily blocks + 4-week washout
- MetabolicIntermediate
Tesamorelin for visceral fat
Tesamorelin is the GHRH analog with the strongest clinical data for reducing visceral fat. It's a daily bedtime protocol built around one key timing insight.
8–16 weeks + 4–8-week washout
- MetabolicIntermediate
Retatrutide weight-management protocol
Retatrutide is a once-weekly GLP-1, GIP and glucagon triple agonist. This protocol covers the 16-week ramp from 2 mg and the long hold at the target dose. Doses, units and the trial table are on the Retatrutide page.
16-week ramp, then a 64-week hold (80 weeks in TRIUMPH-1 and -2)
- MetabolicAdvanced
Retatrutide + 5-Amino-1MQ for body composition
Retatrutide cuts appetite. 5-Amino-1MQ blocks NNMT inside fat cells. People run the two together for recomposition.
Retatrutide weekly titration + 5-Amino-1MQ daily
- CognitiveBeginner
Semax + Selank for focus and calm
Semax sharpens focus and drive. Selank takes the edge off anxiety. Run together, mornings get activation and anxious moments get calm. Two separate levers instead of one.
10–14 days + 2–4-week washout
- ImmuneBeginner
Thymosin Alpha-1 for immune support
Thymosin Alpha-1 is the most-studied immune peptide. It tunes the adaptive immune system, run as a twice-weekly course.
6–12 weeks + 4–8-week washout
- LongevityBeginner
Epitalon's annual longevity cycle
Epitalon is the signature pineal-peptide cycle. People run a short course once or twice a year, mirroring the pulsed schedule from the original Khavinson human work.
10–20 day course · repeated every several months
- LongevityBeginner
NAD+ for a cellular energy cycle
NAD+ replenishes the coenzyme that powers energy production and sirtuin-driven repair. Both decline with age. This is a daily subcutaneous cycle to top them back up.
4–8 weeks + 2–4-week washout
- LongevityBeginner
MOTS-C for a mitochondrial cycle
MOTS-C is a mitochondria-derived peptide that activates AMPK, the cell's energy sensor. It supports metabolic health and exercise capacity as a daily cycle.
8–12 weeks + 2–4-week washout
- LongevityBeginner
Glutathione's antioxidant cycle
Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant. People run it 2–3 times a week for redox and detoxification support, to top up what age and stress deplete.
Ongoing · 2–3× per week
- LongevityBeginner
NAD+ + Glutathione for cellular maintenance
NAD+ powers energy production and repair. Glutathione mops up the oxidative cost of running hot. Together they produce and protect, a complementary cellular-maintenance pair.
NAD+ 4–8-week blocks · Glutathione ongoing 2–3×/week
- SkinBeginner
GHK-Cu for skin and collagen
GHK-Cu, the copper tripeptide, drives collagen remodeling and tissue repair. It runs as a daily subcutaneous cycle for skin quality.
8–12 weeks + 4-week washout
- SkinIntermediate
GHK-Cu + BPC-157 for skin and repair
GHK-Cu remodels the skin's collagen matrix while BPC-157 drives repair and new blood supply. Two complementary levers work together for skin and connective tissue.
8–12 weeks + 4-week washout
- Sexual healthIntermediate
Melanotan-2 for pigmentation and arousal
Melanotan-2 is a melanocortin-receptor agonist. Researchers study it for two effects, skin pigmentation through MC1R and sexual arousal through MC4R. It runs loading then maintenance.
Loading 1–2 weeks → maintenance · 4–6-week breaks
More protocols across additional goals are in development; every one composes doses from the peptide pages.
