Peptide Cheat Sheet 2026
Dosing, Reconstitution, Bloodwork & Nasal Sprays
Last updated: April 2026 | Author: BioChonch | For research and educational purposes only
What changed since the last version
- •In April 2026 the FDA took 12 peptides, including BPC-157 and TB-500, off its Category 2 compounding list. That is not approval: in July an FDA advisory committee recommended six of them, and the FDA still has to decide.
- •Retatrutide phase 3: 28.7% weight loss at 12mg dose (dysesthesia signal at 20%+)
- •CagriSema phase 3: 20.4% weight loss (NEJM June 2025)
- •KLOW corrected: it's the Glow Blend + KPV, not what was listed before

How to use these tables
All tables assume a 1mL (100 unit) insulin syringe. If you're running a different vial size or BAC volume, use the BHG Reconstitution Calculator. Plug in your exact setup and it gives you the syringe units in 10 seconds.

Nerve repair / diabetic neuropathy: KLOW + CJC-1295/Ipamorelin daily for 2-3 weeks then maintenance. Community reports this combo works for disc degeneration, nerve compression, and scoliosis-related pain.
🔥 2. Fat Loss & Metabolic
| Compound | Vial | BAC | Dose | Cycle | Bloodwork |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide | 30mg | 3mL | 250mcg-1mg weekly | 12-16 wks | Glucose, HbA1c, lipids, amylase/lipase |
| Tirzepatide | 60mg | 6mL | 2.5-5mg weekly | 12-16 wks | Same as sema |
| Retatrutide | 10mg | 3mL | 0.5-2mg weekly | 8-12 wks | Glucose, HbA1c, lipids |
| Cagrilintide | 10mg | 2mL | 250mcg weekly | 8-12 wks | Same as GLP-1s |
| Tesamorelin | 10mg | 2mL | 1mg daily 5on/2off | 8 wks | IGF-1, glucose, hs-CRP |
| MOTS-c | 10mg | 2mL | 1mg daily 5on/2off | 8 wks | HbA1c, insulin, lipids |
| 5-Amino-1MQ | 10mg | 2mL | 1mg daily 5on/2off | 8 wks | Glucose, insulin, liver |

| AOD-9604 | 5mg | 2mL | 250-500mcg daily | 8-12 wks | Basic metabolic |
Best cutting stack: Retatrutide + tesamorelin. Full recomp protocol with calculator → Ultimate Shred Stack
Protein on GLP-1s is mandatory: 1g per lb bodyweight or you lose muscle not just fat.
💪 3. Growth Hormone & Recovery
| Compound | Vial | BAC | Dose | Cycle | Bloodwork |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CJC/Ipa Blend | 10mg | 2mL | 250mcg ea PM | 8-12 wks | IGF-1, glucose |
| Ipamorelin | 5mg | 2mL | 200-300mcg 1-2×/day | 8-12 wks | IGF-1, glucose |
| Sermorelin | 5mg | 2mL | 200-300mcg nightly | 8-16 wks | IGF-1, glucose |
| GHRP-2 | 5mg | 2mL | 100-300mcg 1-3×/day | 6-12 wks | IGF-1, prolactin, cortisol |
| GHRP-6 | 5mg | 2mL | 100-300mcg 1-3×/day | 6-12 wks | IGF-1, prolactin, cortisol |
| Hexarelin | 2mg | 2mL | 100-200mcg daily | 4-8 wks MAX | IGF-1, prolactin |
| IGF-1 LR3 | 1mg | 1mL ACETIC | 50-200mcg pre workout | 10 days | IGF-1, glucose, kidney |
| HGH Frag 176-191 | 5mg | 2mL | 250-500mcg daily | 4-8 wks | Basic metabolic |
IGF-1 LR3 uses 0.6% acetic acid, NOT BAC water. It's the only exception. Mess this up and the peptide degrades.
IGF-1 target: 200-300 ng/mL therapeutic, never past 400. Baseline + week 4 retest.
Pro tip: Pin CJC/Ipa fasted before bed. Insulin blunts GH release 40-60%. 2hr minimum after last meal.
🧠 4. Cognitive & Mood
| Compound | Vial | BAC | Dose | Route | Cycle |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semax | 30mg | 3mL | 1mg 2-3×/wk | Intranasal preferred | 8 wks |
| Selank | 30mg | 3mL | 1mg 2-3×/wk | Intranasal preferred | 8 wks |
| Oxytocin | 5mg | 2mL | 16-40 IU PRN | Intranasal | PRN |
| DSIP | 5mg | 2mL | 100-300mcg nightly | SubQ or intranasal | 2-4 wks |
| Kisspeptin-10 | 5mg | 2mL | 50-100mcg 2-3×/wk | SubQ fasted | 4-8 wks |
Russian Nootropic Stack: Semax AM + Selank PM. Intranasal = better bioavailability than SubQ.
💨 5. Nasal Sprays (Intranasal, Pre-Mixed)
Small peptides bypass the BBB intranasal and hit faster than injection. These come pre-mixed, no reconstitution needed.
| Compound | Format | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Selank 50mcg/spray | Atomized nasal spray | Anxiety / calm focus |
| Semax 100mcg/spray | Atomized nasal spray | Focus / cognition / BDNF |
| PT-141 100mcg/spray | Atomized nasal spray | Libido / arousal |
| Oxytocin 100mcg/spray | Nasal spray | Bonding / social / mood |
| GABA + Melatonin + DSIP | Nasal spray blend | Deep sleep |
| Epitalon | Nasal spray | Longevity / sleep |
| Melanotan 2 | Nasal spray | Tanning |
| 5-Amino-1MQ | Nasal spray | Metabolic / energy |

🧮 Reconstitution Rules
•Inject BAC slowly down the side of the vial. NEVER shake. Swirl gently.
•IGF-1 LR3 = 0.6% acetic acid only. Everything else uses BAC water.
•Storage: Dry powder in freezer (1-2 yrs). Reconstituted in fridge at 2-8°C, use within 30 days.
•GHK-Cu stings. Use fatty areas, inject slowly. Normal.
•GH peptides fasted only: 2hr minimum after last meal.
Running a different vial size, BAC volume, or dose than the tables? Use the BHG Reconstitution Calculator. It handles any combination in 10 seconds.
🩸 Baseline Bloodwork Panel
Before any protocol:
Retest at week 4 for the relevant markers. If you're not measuring, you're guessing.
💬 Community Q&A
Can I stack multiple at once?
Yes, but stack compounds on different pathways. Don't double up on same receptor.
Nerve repair / diabetic neuropathy?
KLOW + CJC/Ipa daily 2-3 weeks then maintenance.
NAD frequency?
SubQ 2-3×/week. Oral NMN daily. IV session-based.
SLU-PP-332 dosing?
250mcg-1mg oral daily. Exercise mimetic, ERR pathway. Mostly preclinical.
Best cutting stack?
