STACKING: THE DATA

Peptide Stacking Data - Common Stack Combinations Table

Peptide Stacking Data

Stacking peptides can create synergistic effects or amplify side effects. Below are common stacks, their rationale, and community-reported outcomes.

Popular Peptide Stacks

Stack Name Peptides Synergy Rationale Monthly Cost Effectiveness Rating
Classic GH Stack CJC-1295 No DAC (100mcg) + Ipamorelin (200mcg), 2x daily GHRH + GHRP = amplified GH pulse; complementary mechanisms $71-113 9/10 - Gold standard for GH release
Healing Stack BPC-157 (500mcg 2x/day) + TB-500 (5mg 2x/week) BPC for localized healing, TB-500 for systemic tissue repair $212-303 7/10 - Expensive but reported synergy for injuries
Budget GH Stack GHRP-2 (100mcg) + CJC-1295 (100mcg), 3x daily Same mechanism as Ipa/CJC but cheaper; more hunger side effect $54-81 8/10 - Great value if hunger tolerable
Recovery + GH CJC/Ipa stack + BPC-157 (250mcg 2x/day) GH for overall recovery, BPC for injury-specific healing $155-248 8/10 - Popular with athletes
Skin/Anti-Aging CJC/Ipa (standard) + GHK-Cu topical (2% serum) Systemic GH benefits + topical skin improvement $95-161 6/10 - Subjective results
Fat Loss Focus Tesamorelin (1mg daily) + Ipamorelin (300mcg 2x/day) Tesamorelin for visceral fat, Ipa for general GH boost $158-264 8/10 - Best for targeted fat loss
Gut + Immune BPC-157 (500mcg oral 2x/day) + LL-37 (2mg 3x/week) BPC for gut lining, LL-37 for immune/antimicrobial $228-375 5/10 - Limited data, expensive

Synergy vs Redundancy Matrix

Combination Interaction Result Recommendation
CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin Synergistic Amplified GH release (3-5x vs either alone) Stack - Gold standard
CJC-1295 + GHRP-2 or GHRP-6 Synergistic Similar to Ipa but cheaper; more hunger Stack - Budget option
BPC-157 + TB-500 Complementary Different healing mechanisms; work together Stack - For severe injuries
Ipamorelin + GHRP-2 Redundant Both GHRP agonists; no added benefit Don't stack - Pick one
CJC-DAC + CJC-NoDAC Redundant Same peptide, different half-lives; confusing Don't stack - Pick one
Tesamorelin + CJC/Ipa Overlapping All increase GH; may be overkill + $$$ Questionable - Expensive redundancy
Any GH peptide + BPC-157 Complementary Different mechanisms; GH for general recovery, BPC for specific healing Stack works - Common combo
BPC-157 + GHK-Cu (both injectable) Overlapping (healing) Both promote healing; may be redundant unless targeting different tissues Questionable - Try one first
GH peptides + GHK-Cu topical Complementary Systemic vs topical; different benefits Stack OK - No conflict
Multiple GHRPs (Ipa + GHRP-2 + GHRP-6) Redundant + risky Amplified side effects, minimal added GH release Don't stack - Overkill

Timing & Administration for Common Stacks

Stack Timing Protocol Food Restrictions Notes
CJC/Ipamorelin Morning (fasted), Pre-bed. Optional: Post-workout Must be fasted 2+ hrs; wait 20+ min before eating Inject both together in same session; can mix in same syringe
BPC-157 + TB-500 BPC 2x daily anytime; TB-500 2x/week anytime None BPC can be near injury site; TB-500 anywhere subQ
CJC/Ipa + BPC-157 GH peptides fasted; BPC anytime (can dose together) GH peptides fasted only Can inject BPC at same time as GH peptides (separate sites)
Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin Tesamorelin bedtime; Ipamorelin morning + bedtime Ipa must be fasted Can inject together at bedtime dose
GHRP-2 + CJC 3x daily: Morning, post-workout (or afternoon), bedtime All doses fasted (critical for GH release) Hunger from GHRP-2 can be timed with meals (dose, wait 20 min, eat)

Stacking Side Effect Amplification

Stack Amplified Side Effects Mitigation
CJC/Ipa (or any GH stack) Water retention, carpal tunnel symptoms Reduce sodium, stay hydrated, lower dose if severe
Multiple GH peptides (e.g., CJC/Ipa + Tesamorelin) Insulin resistance risk increases Monitor glucose closely; not recommended long-term
BPC-157 + TB-500 Lethargy (from TB-500) TB-500 causes this alone; BPC doesn't amplify it significantly
GHRP-2 or GHRP-6 + anything Hunger (from GHRP), may make dieting hard Time doses before planned meals; switch to Ipa if intolerable
GH peptides + GHK-Cu injectable None reported consistently Generally well-tolerated combination

Advanced Stacks (Experienced Users Only)

Stack Components Goal Complexity Monthly Cost
Full GH/Healing CJC/Ipa + BPC-157 + TB-500 + GHK-Cu Maximum recovery from injury/surgery High (6+ injections/day) $320-520
Body Recomp Aggressive Tesamorelin + GHRP-2 + CJC + BPC-157 Fat loss + healing + recovery High (multiple daily doses) $260-450
Longevity Protocol CJC/Ipa + GHK-Cu (injectable) + Thymosin Alpha-1 Anti-aging, immune support, general health Moderate $240-380
Gut Health Max BPC-157 oral + LL-37 + Thymosin Alpha-1 Gut lining + immune + antimicrobial Moderate $348-575

Stacking Mistakes to Avoid

Progressive Stacking Approach

Phase What to Run Duration Purpose
Phase 1: Baseline Single peptide (e.g., Ipamorelin only or BPC-157 only) 4-6 weeks Assess individual response, tolerance, effectiveness
Phase 2: Basic Stack Add complementary peptide (e.g., add CJC to Ipa) 8-12 weeks Evaluate synergy; if good results, continue
Phase 3: Optimization Fine-tune doses, timing; possibly add third peptide if clear need 8-12 weeks Maximize results while managing sides/cost
Phase 4: Cycle Off All GH peptides stopped; can continue BPC/healing peptides if needed 4-6 weeks minimum Prevent desensitization; assess if benefits persist

Community-Reported Stack Effectiveness

Stack % Reporting "Better than Single Peptide" Common Feedback
CJC + Ipamorelin 78% "Clear synergy; worth stacking"
BPC-157 + TB-500 68% "Faster healing but expensive; BPC alone often enough"
CJC/Ipa + BPC 71% "Recovery and healing covered; popular with athletes"
Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin 61% "Works but pricey; Tesa alone often sufficient"
GH peptides + GHK-Cu 52% "Unclear if GHK adds much; results subtle"
