A simple breakdown of peptide half life and why they matter
So many people mess up their peptide schedules because they completely ignore the half life. Half life is literally just how long a compound actually stays active in your system.
If you take a short half life compound once a week, it will not do anything at all. If you take a super long one every single day, it just builds up way too fast.
I figured it makes more sense to group these by how long they last rather than what they do, so the dosing schedules make more sense.
The short ones (stuff you usually take daily or multiple times a day):
* CJC-1295 no DAC is super fast at around 30 minutes. It is just meant to mimic a natural pulse.
* Ipamorelin lasts about 2 hours.
* BPC-157 clears out in just a few hours, which is why people take it multiple times a day.
* Semax and Selank are both pretty short and clear out fast too.
The long ones (stuff you can space out over days or a full week):
* Tirzepatide lasts about 5 days.
* Retatrutide is around 6 days.
* Semaglutide is about 7 days, which is why you only need it weekly.
* CJC-1295 with DAC is way longer at like 6 to 8 days.
* TB-500 stays active in your tissue for a while so you can space it out more once it builds up.
Knowing this stuff just makes it way easier to understand why the protocols are set up the way they are.
