Common Stacks

The Healing Stack

BPC-157 + TB-500

Classic tissue-repair combination. BPC-157 supports gut/tendon integrity while TB-500 promotes cell migration and remodeling. Synergistic for injury recovery.

The GH Stack

CJC-1295 (no DAC) + Ipamorelin

GHRH + GHRP pairing amplifies natural GH pulses far beyond either alone, without significantly raising cortisol or hunger. Gold-standard anti-aging combo.

Alternative GH Stack

CJC-1295 (no DAC) + GHRP-2

Stronger GH output than Ipamorelin pairing, with moderate hunger. Useful in muscle-growth/bulking phases.

Fasted Fat-Loss

Fragment 176-191 (or AOD-9604) + morning fasted cardio

Lipolytic fragments taken fasted pre-cardio maximize fat mobilization. Do not pair both AOD and Frag — same mechanism, pick one.

What Not to Combine

Food within ~1 hour of any GH-releasing peptide (CJC, Ipamorelin, GHRP, Sermorelin, Tesamorelin) blunts the GH pulse. Dose fasted.

Do not combine exogenous GH with secretagogues (CJC/GHRP/MK-677) — redundant and risks elevated IGF-1.

Avoid dosing stimulating peptides (Semax, Dihexa, MK-677 sometimes) at night — may disrupt sleep.

PT-141 should not be combined with nitrates or blood-pressure medications.

GHRP-6's strong hunger makes it counterproductive during cutting phases; prefer Ipamorelin.

GHK-Cu topical should not be layered with vitamin C at the same time (chelates copper).

Pick ONE fat-loss fragment (AOD-9604 OR Fragment 176-191) — stacking both is redundant.

Cycle off GH secretagogues every 8-12 weeks to restore receptor sensitivity and avoid GH 'bleed'.
