The Battle of the Blends 👀 Great question that comes up all the time. Let me break down both stacks so you can decide which fits your goals better. 🧬 THE PEPTIDES Tesamorelin (Tesa) - GHRH analog (growth hormone releasing hormone) - Shorter half-life (~30 minutes at the receptor) - More pulsatile GH release CJC-1295 (without DAC) - GHRH analog (growth hormone releasing hormone) - Short half-life (~30 minutes) - Pulsatile GH release, very similar to Tesa Ipamorelin (Ipa) - GHRP (growth hormone releasing peptide) - Ghrelin mimetic - Amplifies GH pulses - Used in BOTH stacks ⚔️ HEAD TO HEAD COMPARISON TESAMORELIN/IPAMORELIN Benefits: ✅ Specifically targets visceral fat (FDA-approved for lipodystrophy) ✅ Strong fat loss properties, especially abdominal/organ fat ✅ Natural pulsatile GH release ✅ Well-studied with clinical data ✅ Less bloat/water retention reported Downsides: ❌ More expensive than CJC Best for: - Fat loss focused researchers (especially stubborn belly fat) - Body recomposition - Those with access and budget for it - People who want the most clinically studied option Typical dosing: - Tesa: 1mg-2mg per day - Ipa: 100-300mcg 1-3x per day CJC-1295 (No DAC)/IPAMORELIN Benefits: ✅ More affordable than Tesa ✅ Easier to source consistently ✅ Natural pulsatile GH release (same as Tesa) ✅ Great for recovery and muscle growth ✅ Improves sleep quality ✅ Good all-around GH optimization Downsides: ❌ Not as targeted for visceral fat loss as Tesa ❌ Some report more water retention Best for: - Recovery and healing - Muscle growth and performance - Sleep improvement - Budget-conscious researchers - Long-term GH optimization Typical dosing: - CJC (no DAC): 100-300mcg 1-3x per day - Ipa: 100-300mcg 1-3x per day 🎯 THE REAL DIFFERENCE Here's the truth: Both stacks work very similarly because CJC (no DAC) and Tesamorelin have nearly identical half-lives and mechanisms. The main differentiator is Tesamorelin's specific action on visceral adipose tissue. If fat loss (especially stubborn belly fat) is your primary goal, Tesa has the edge.

What would you guys run on a bulking phase between these 3 blends?

Any recommendations on peptides to take on a bulking/muscle gaining phase?

What peptides stack would you guys run on a bulk?

Later in winter I plan on bulking, I plan on running The Wolverine stack and Cjc-1295/Ipamorelin blend. Would you guys add anything else?
