Everyone ranks peptides by how good they are and nobody ranks them by what they cost you. So here's that list instead. 👉🏼 this is side effect burden only. A compound can be great for results and still rank low here, those are two different questions. One thing: how you research a peptide matters as much as what you research. More on that below because it moves a few of these around. 🟢 S TIER — basically nothing ❇️ Compound & what you might get: ▸ BPC-157 almost nothing. Mild injection site redness at worst. ▸ Epitalon nothing reported worth mentioning ▸ SS-31 mild, occasional injection site stuff 🙌🏼 if you're new to research and nervous, start here. BPC is about as forgiving as it gets. 🟡 A TIER — mild, manageable, mostly ❇️ Compound & what you might get: ▸ TB-500 mild lethargy the first week for some ▸ 5-Amino-1MQ mild, occasional GI ▸ GHK-Cu (inject) injection site irritation, copper taste weirdly ▸ Selank (inject) injection site stuff, some people get sedated ▸ Semax (inject) injection site stuff, headache if you go high ▸ Tesamorelin water retention, joint aches, raises IGF-1 ▸ CJC/Ipamorelin water retention, tingling hands, hunger spike ▸ Tesofensine stimulant profile, dose it early in the day 👉🏼 The GH secretagogues get called "side effect free" and thats not really true. The water retention and that carpal tunnel type tingling is real, it just fades. Hunger on Ipamorelin often catches researchers off guard the first time, think eating at 11pm like a raccoon... 👉🏼 Tesofensine gets a worse reputation than it deserves. It's a triple reuptake inhibitor so it behaves like a stimulant, which means you treat it like one. Low dose, early in the day, don't stack it on top of a bunch of caffeine.The researchers who have a bad time are almost always the ones who jumped straight in. 🟠 B TIER — noticeable side effects with these ❇️ Compound & what you might get: ▸ Semaglutide nausea, constipation, fatigue ▸ Tirzepatide GI stuff, usually less rough than sema
