Alright guys, so I noticed there's not a lot of info here on Peptides, understandably so since this board mainly discusses AAS....but there is a section here for it so I figured I'd post this.
I certainly claim to be no expert, but Peptides fascinate me and they are quite the impressive "drug" if you will, so I figured I would share my knowledge with you. Any questions please feel free to ask!
First, let's go over some abbreviations...
- GHRH -Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone
- GHRP - Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide
- GRF - Growth Releasing Factor
- DAC - Drug Affinity Complex
Okay now that that's out of the way, I'm going to go over a few of the most commonly talked about Peptide's on this board...
- GHRP-6 - First generation Peptide, side effects go beyond GH release including gastric motility, hunger (we're talking like...you're gonna eat a few Big Mac's and STILL be hungry) mild increase in Prolactic (hormone that enables lactation) and Cortisol (hormone directly related to stress)
- GHRP-2 - Second generation Peptide, stronger GH releasing qualities, NO gastric motility side effects, still hunger side effects (maybe now you'll be satisfied after 3 Big Mac's instead of 6...) effects Prolactic and Cortisol, but doesn't deviate much from the normal ranges.
- Ipamorelin - Third generation Peptide, least "sloppy" of all the GHRP's, does not cause quite as much GH release as GHRP-2, however has NO gastric motility sides, hunger, or Prolactin/Cortisol increases.
- CJC 1295 w/o DAC- I will be referring to this peptide by it's proper name which is MOD GRF (1-29) [Originally, this peptide was known as GRF 1-29, they added the "CJC & DAC" when they added the combining drug complex to study it's effectiveness.....this is where the name comes from, however medically speaking CJC is not in itself a peptide, and when they were first coming up with this peptide complex, they couldn't make it last more than a few seconds in the body...hence the continued tweaking of the Peptide and they came up with MOD GRF (1-29)] The (1-29) represents the first 29 amino acids that are used of the 44 that we possess. The other 15 basically get dumped to the side and are useless....Lasts approx. 30 minutes in your system and is the optimal choice.
- CJC 1295 - aka CJC 1295 w/ DAC, no need to delve too much into this, as MOD GRF (1-29) is a much superior peptide, lasts several days in your system...much sloppier Peptide.
** Public Service Announcement** People really made these CJC's very confusing because SOMEONE decided to be lazy and just give things a "nickname" if you will, that is closely related to the other Peptide, but then just never call it by it's given scientific name, which in reality....makes much more sense and gives everyone less of a ...'what the fuck is going on here? who the fuck is CJC?? Who the fuck is DAC?!?!' Don't shoot me I'm just the messenger!
So what should I use to lose fat ???
To lose fat, you'll want to choose one of the above mentioned
GHRP's combined with
MOD GRF (1-29) ** You'll want to time it out to the part of the day where calories consumed are lower than energy expended
--> Example of a dosing regimen
- Fasted cardio
- Pre-workout (IF workout is designed to be cardio-focused and lose fat)
- AM/Midday/PWO
So what should I use to gain muscles brah??
To gain muscle, you'll want to choose one of the above mentioned
GRHP's combined with
MOD GRF (1-29) **Around the weight workout and period that follows
--> Example of dosing regimen
- AM/Pre-WO/Bed
- AM/Post-WO/Bed
- Pre-WO/Bed/Middle of Night
