Why People Stack
Combining synergistic peptides produces results greater than the sum of their parts.
- BPC-157— tissue repair
- TB-500— inflammation
- CJC/Ipamorelin— GH & sleep
- Semaglutide— appetite & fat
- CJC/Ipamorelin— preserve muscle
- Tesamorelin— abdominal fat
How Peptides Are Taken
Four delivery methods depending on the peptide.
Subcutaneous
Tiny needle into belly fat. Takes 30 seconds.
BPC-157, CJC/IpamorelinNasal Spray
Crosses the blood-brain barrier via nasal mucosa.
Selank, SemaxOral
Lower bioavailability but no needles.
BPC-157, RybelsusTopical
Applied to skin for localized effects.
GHK-Cu, TB-500 cream
