All maintain proportional dosing — when you draw a dose, you receive both peptides at the vial's ratio. For the 5/5 vial (1:1 ratio), a 200mcg dose gives ~100mcg CJC-1295 + 100mcg Ipamorelin. For the 5/10 vial (1:2 ratio), a 200mcg dose gives ~67mcg CJC-1295 + 133mcg Ipamorelin. For the 10/10 vial (1:1 ratio), a 200mcg dose gives ~100mcg each. No need to calculate each peptide separately. Start with 200mcg total once nightly (before bed) for the first week, then titrate to twice daily (morning and bedtime) if well-tolerated. The most important dose is at bedtime to maximize the natural GH pulse during sleep. Allow at least 1 hour of fasting before and after each dose. Cycles can run continuously for 3-6 months.

Unlike PDE5 inhibitors that work on blood vessels, PT-141 works directly on neural pathways involved in sexual arousal and desire. It's the first FDA-approved treatment for hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women (brand name Vyleesi). Research demonstrates efficacy for both male and female sexual dysfunction through direct CNS activation.
Key Benefits
• Significant increase in libido
• Effective for both men and women
• Rapid onset of action
Research Dosing Data
Typical research dose is 1mg to 1.75mg, administered subcutaneously 1-4 hours before intended activity. Start at 0.5mg for the first use to assess tolerance, as nausea is a very common side effect. If well-tolerated, titrate to 1mg, then up to 1.75mg on subsequent uses. Do not exceed 1.75mg per dose or use more than once in 24 hours. Effects can last 12-72 hours. Not recommended for daily use.

Hexarelin
Hexarelin is a synthetic hexapeptide growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) that acts as a potent agonist of the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). It is among the most potent GHRPs (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides) studied, producing strong and consistent GH pulses from the pituitary gland. Uniquely, Hexarelin also directly activates cardiac-specific receptors (CD36) independent of GH release, making it notable for cardiovascular protection research. Unlike Ipamorelin, Hexarelin stimulates cortisol and prolactin alongside GH, which distinguishes it from more selective options but also contributes to its potency profile. Research has also explored its effects on tendon strength, bone density, and anabolic tissue support.
Key Benefits
• Potent GH release — strongest of the GHRPs
• Cardiac protection via direct CD36 receptor activation
• Supports muscle growth and fat loss
• Tendon and bone density support
• Neuroprotective properties
Research Dosing Data
Common research dosages range from 100mcg to 200mcg per injection, administered 1-3 times daily. Start at 100mcg once daily to assess cortisol and prolactin response. Many protocols use 100-200mcg 3x daily for maximum GH stimulation. Administer subcutaneously on an empty stomach or immediately upon waking for best GH response. Avoid prolonged use as GH blunting (desensitization) is more pronounced with Hexarelin than other GHRPs. Research cycles typically run 6-12 weeks followed by a break. (Not Medical Advice)
Possible Uses & Dosing by Goal
