Optimized Protocols

Peptide
Stacks

Curated protocols combining synergistic peptides for maximum results in each domain. Each stack includes complete dosing schedules, timing protocols, and cycle guidance to take the guesswork out of optimization.

Body CompositionIntermediate12 to 16 weeks

The Recomposition Stack

Simultaneous muscle gain and fat loss

The gold standard protocol for men seeking to simultaneously build lean muscle and shed body fat. This stack leverages the synergistic relationship between growth hormone secretagogues and GLP-1 agonists to drive anabolism while accelerating lipolysis, producing visible recomposition results within the first four to six weeks.

The Recomposition Stack

Peptide Protocol

CJC-1295 (no DAC)

Primary GH Secretagogue

Dose

100 mcg

Timing

Before bed

Frequency

Daily

Use without DAC for a more natural pulsatile GH release pattern. Stack with Ipamorelin for synergistic amplification of the GH pulse.

Ipamorelin

GH Pulse Amplifier

Dose

200 mcg

Timing

Before bed, same injection as CJC-1295

Frequency

Daily

The cleanest GH secretagogue available, producing no cortisol spike. Can be combined in the same syringe as CJC-1295 for convenience.

Semaglutide

Fat Loss Accelerator

Dose

0.25 to 1 mg

Timing

Same day each week

Frequency

Weekly

Start at 0.25 mg and titrate up by 0.25 mg every four weeks. Manages appetite while the GH stack drives muscle growth, creating the ideal recomposition environment.

Protocol Schedule

1

Week 1 to 4

Foundation

CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin daily before bed. Semaglutide 0.25 mg weekly. Establish baseline and allow the body to adapt to the protocol.

2

Week 5 to 8

Acceleration

Increase Semaglutide to 0.5 mg weekly. Maintain the full GH stack. Expect visible recomposition to begin during this phase.

3

Week 9 to 12

Peak Phase

Semaglutide 1 mg weekly. Full GH stack continues. This is the period of maximum recomposition effect and body composition change.

4

Week 13 to 16

Consolidation

Maintain or taper Semaglutide based on goals. Continue the GH stack. Focus on locking in the gains made during the peak phase.

Important Considerations

Protocol Notes and Safety

Monitor blood glucose regularly, as GLP-1 agonists significantly affect insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.

Ensure adequate protein intake of at least one gram per pound of bodyweight to support the anabolic environment created by the GH stack.

GH secretagogues produce their best results when taken in a fasted state before sleep, aligning with the body's natural GH pulse.

Semaglutide nausea typically resolves after four to six weeks of consistent use as the body adapts to the compound.
