Stacks Well With
CJC-1295 (no DAC) / Mod GRF 1-29
Shorter-acting GH booster that releases growth hormone in natural pulses. Clears faster without DAC, so it's usually paired with another GH peptide for stronger effect.
GHRP-6
GH booster that significantly increases appetite by mimicking ghrelin. Good for bulking or anyone who struggles to eat enough.
