The Peptide Cheat Sheet

Why This Exists

Most "dosing guides" online are either dangerously wrong, paywalled, or just a lazy table. This is the cheat sheet we wish existed when we started — built from thousands of community data points, vendor COAs, and real-world protocol logs.

How to read this: Every row assumes a 1mL (100-unit) insulin syringe unless noted. All substances are research chemicals.

💡 Pro tip: Use our Reconstitution Calculator to double-check any row in this table with your exact vial and water volume.

⚡ Quick Rules (Memorize These)

🔥 Fat Loss & GLP-1 Agonists

The big three: Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Retatrutide. These are dose-dependent — start low or you'll be hugging a toilet.

🚨 Common Mistakes

• Rushing GLP-1 titration — Nausea, vomiting, and sulfur burps are signs you went too fast, not that "it's working"
• Not eating enough protein — GLP-1s suppress appetite hard. Force 1g/lb protein daily or you'll lose muscle, not just fat
• Skipping meals entirely — Muscle wasting is real. Eat even if you're not hungry
• Retatrutide is a triple agonist — It hits GLP-1 + GIP + Glucagon. Titrate slower than sema/tirz

💡 Pro Tips

• Pin GLP-1s in the evening — nausea peaks 6–12h post-injection, so you sleep through the worst of it
• Stack AOD-9604 with fasted morning cardio for enhanced lipolysis
• If you get "sema face" (gaunt look), you're losing too fast — drop dose 25%

🩹 Healing & Recovery

The "Wolverine Stack" (BPC-157 + TB-500) is the most popular combo in the community for a reason.

🚨 Common Mistakes

• Pinning BPC-157 far from the injury — It's systemic but works faster when injected near the target tissue
• Not loading TB-500 — First 2 weeks should be higher dose (3mg 2x/wk), then drop to maintenance
• Using BPC/TB blends without checking the ratio — Most blends are 10mg/10mg. 10u = 500mcg of EACH

💡 Wolverine Stack Protocol

Loading (weeks 1–2): BPC-157 500mcg daily + TB-500 3mg 2x/wk

Maintenance (weeks 3–8): BPC-157 250mcg daily + TB-500 1.5mg 2x/wk

With a pre-mixed blend (10mg/10mg in one vial): Reconstitute with 2mL BAC → 10u = 500mcg BPC + 500mcg TB

💤 Growth Hormone & Sleep

💡 Pro Tips

• Pin both before bed to align with natural GH pulses during deep sleep
• CJC-1295 (no DAC) + Ipamorelin is the classic "GH stack" — CJC extends the pulse, Ipa triggers it
• Always pin on an empty stomach — insulin blunts GH release
• The blend version (5mg/5mg) gives 250mcg of each per 10u — convenient but less dose flexibility

🧠 Cognitive & Mood

💡 Pro Tips

• Semax and Selank are best delivered intranasally — use our Intranasal Calculator
• Stack Semax (AM) + Selank (PM) for the "Russian Nootropic Stack" — focus by day, calm by night
• DSIP works best when you also fix sleep hygiene basics (dark room, no screens 1h before bed)

✨ Skin, Hair & Longevity

🚨 Common Mistakes

• GHK-Cu stings on injection — Use fatty areas and inject slowly. This is normal, not a bad sign
• Melanotan 2 without sunlight — You need UV exposure for it to work. It primes melanocytes, doesn't replace sun
• Epithalon cycles too close together — 20 days on, then 6 months off minimum. More is not better
