The Science Behind
the Sequence

01

What Are Peptides?

Short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. Unlike proteins, peptides are small enough to penetrate tissues rapidly and bind to specific receptors with high affinity.

02

Why They Matter

Peptides regulate nearly every biological process — from metabolism and immune response to tissue repair and hormone secretion. Targeted peptide research has opened new frontiers in therapeutic science.

03

Our Approach

Every compound profile on Peptide Mag is built from published research data. No marketing claims. No hype. Just verified dosing protocols, reconstitution math, and cited mechanisms of action.

Precision
Matters

01

Reconstitution Is Not Optional

Lyophilized peptides require precise reconstitution with bacteriostatic water. The ratio of solvent to peptide determines your concentration — and every downstream calculation depends on getting this right.

02

Dosing Is Weight-Dependent

Most research protocols specify doses in micrograms per kilogram of body weight. A 200 mcg dose for a 90 kg subject is fundamentally different from the same dose in a 60 kg subject. Context is everything.

03

Syringe Math Saves Vials

Understanding how concentration translates to syringe units on a 100-unit insulin syringe eliminates waste. Our calculator does this math instantly — so every vial is used efficiently.

Reconstitution Calculator

Calculate injection volumes, syringe units, and doses per vial based on your reconstitution parameters.

Research Protocols

Common peptide stacking protocols documented in research literature. All dosing reflects published study data.

Weight Loss Stack
Semaglutide Tirzepatide AOD-9604
Dosing
Semaglutide: 0.25 mg/week escalating to 2.4 mg/week over 16-20 weeks. Tirzepatide: 2.5 mg/week escalating to 15 mg/week. AOD-9604: 300 mcg/day subcutaneous.
Cycle Length
GLP-1 agonists: ongoing under medical supervision. AOD-9604: 12-week cycles with 4-week breaks.
GLP-1 agonists (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide) are FDA-approved medications. AOD-9604 remains a research compound. These are documented independently, not as a combined protocol.
Recovery Protocol
BPC-157 TB-500
Dosing
BPC-157: 250-500 mcg/day subcutaneous, injected near the injury site when possible. TB-500: 2-2.5 mg twice weekly for loading (4-6 weeks), then 2 mg biweekly for maintenance.
Cycle Length
BPC-157: 4-8 week cycles. TB-500: 8-12 week loading phase followed by maintenance.
BPC-157 and TB-500 are commonly studied in combination in preclinical research for synergistic tissue repair. Neither is FDA-approved for human use.
Anti-Aging Protocol
GHK-Cu Epithalon
Dosing
GHK-Cu: 1-2 mg/day subcutaneous or topical application. Epithalon: 5-10 mg/day for 10-20 day cycles, administered via subcutaneous injection.
Cycle Length
GHK-Cu: 8-12 week cycles. Epithalon: 10-20 day cycles, repeated 2-3 times per year with 4-6 month intervals.
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring peptide with extensive in-vitro research. Epithalon studies originate primarily from Russian research literature. Neither is FDA-approved.
Performance Stack
CJC-1295 Ipamorelin
Dosing
CJC-1295 (with DAC): 2 mg once weekly subcutaneous. CJC-1295 (no DAC/Mod GRF 1-29): 100 mcg 2-3 times daily. Ipamorelin: 200-300 mcg 2-3 times daily, typically administered pre-sleep and post-exercise.
Cycle Length
8-12 week cycles. Often combined (CJC-1295 no DAC + Ipamorelin) for synergistic GH pulse without sustained elevation.
The CJC-1295/Ipamorelin combination is one of the most widely studied GH secretagogue protocols. Neither compound is FDA-approved for performance enhancement.
