Beginner's Guide to Peptides
Starting with peptides is simpler than it looks. Here's what you actually need to know — by goal.
📋
Before You Start
Get these supplies first:
• Insulin syringes (31g × 8mm, 1mL/100u) — buy 100ct
• BAC water — 30mL vial minimum
• Alcohol swabs
• A small fridge space
• A labeled spot for your vials
Recalculate every new vial. Different lot, different BAC amount = different concentration.
📋
Starter Stack: Fat Loss
Option 1 (Entry level): Semaglutide 250mcg/week → increase every 4 weeks
Option 2 (Add): Semaglutide + AOD-9604 300mcg AM daily
Option 3 (Aggressive): Retatrutide 500mcg/week (titrate slowly)
Protocol: Start with semaglutide alone for 4 weeks to assess GI tolerance before adding anything.
📋
Starter Stack: Injury Recovery
The Wolverine Stack:
• BPC-157 500mcg/day SubQ
• TB-500 2mg twice weekly SubQ
Or use a pre-mixed combo vial (5/5mg or 10/10mg).
Cycle: 6–12 weeks. Most injuries respond within 4–6 weeks.
📋
Starter Stack: Anti-Aging
Simple start:
• Epitalon 500mcg/day × 10 days (2–4 cycles/year)
• MOTS-c 5mg 3x/week
Intermediate:
• Add SS-31 5mg daily
• Add NAD+ 25–50mg 2x/week (inject slowly)
📋
Starter Stack: Sleep & Recovery
• DSIP 100mcg SubQ, 30 minutes before bed
• Epitalon 500mcg before bed (during cycle)
• Ipamorelin 200mcg before bed (bonus GH pulse during sleep)
💡
Rules for Beginners
1. Start with ONE peptide at a time. Easier to assess effects and side effects.
2. Start at the lower end of the dose range.
3. Keep notes — vial, dose, effects, any side effects.
4. Don't mix more than 2–3 peptides until you have experience.
5. The AI assistant is available 24/7 for questions.
6. Consult a healthcare provider — especially if you have existing medical conditions.
