Are you hitting the gym daily and seeing little to no results? Have you been tirelessly working out, eating right, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but still can’t seem to build muscle? If so, your body might be trying to tell you something. Over time, our bodies lose the ability to produce and recruit peptides crucial for muscle growth and recovery.

So, maybe, just maybe, peptides might be the game-changer you need. If you want to add muscle, burn fat, recover faster, and even sleep better, I might have the solution for you. We don’t have to throw in the towel as our bodies lose peptides with age. Synthetic versions of peptides can step in, and that’s what this blog post is all about. I’m excited to share with you my top five peptides for muscle growth. Let’s dive in!

Understanding Peptides

Peptides naturally occur in the body, playing significant roles in various physiological functions. However, like other things, peptides start declining as we age. If you’re experiencing muscle loss and aging, it might be time to consider taking peptides. Fortunately, science offers synthetic versions that can safely replace these declining peptides.

I promise you, these synthetic peptides are safe. Check out my other video explaining the difference between peptides and steroids, but spoiler alert – peptides are NOT steroids. Taking these peptides can help mitigate muscle loss and other age-related issues.

Can Peptide Therapy Really Help?

As someone who uses peptides, I can confidently tell you that they help. Whether you’re looking for immune-boosting properties, fat loss, or gut healing benefits, peptides can be beneficial. However, be aware that there can be side effects, often correlated with the dosage.

In this post, I’ll share my top five peptides for muscle growth and how to use them properly. Remember, always consult with your doctor before starting any new therapy. This is an educational post, so ensure you get all the necessary blood work done and follow professional medical advice.

My Top 5 Peptides for Muscle Growth

1. GHRP – Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide

GHRP is one of the most renowned peptides in the bodybuilding industry for increasing growth hormone levels and adding muscle tissue.

• Benefits:
  • Stimulates appetite
  • Helps increase muscle tissue (especially useful for bodybuilders with high-calorie needs)
  • Boosts ghrelin, making you ravenously hungry in about 20-30 minutes after taking it
  • Increases energy levels, allowing for harder and longer training sessions
• Dosage:
  • Typically, the dosage is 1 microgram per kilogram of body weight, injected before breakfast or at bedtime on an empty stomach. Do not exceed 300 micrograms per injection.
• Effects:
  • Increased appetite and energy
  • Significant muscle mass and strength gains
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Shorter recovery times between workouts

2. Ipomorlin

Ipomorlin is a newer peptide on the market and is gaining popularity rapidly.

• Benefits:
  • Mimics Ghrelin, stimulates growth hormone from the pituitary gland
  • Does not stimulate appetite, making it a good choice for those looking to stay lean
• Dosage:
  • Start with 100 micrograms in the morning (often recommended by doctors to take at night)
  • Optionally increase to 200 micrograms per day and stack with 100 micrograms of GRF mod 1-29 for an 8-12 week cycle
• Effects:
  • Decreased body fat
  • Increased lean muscle tissue
  • Improved recovery and anti-aging properties in skin, hair, and nails
  • Minimal impact on cortisol or stress levels

3. Hexarellin

Hexarellin, or Examorellin, is another potent peptide that enhances growth hormone release.

• Benefits:
  • Increases cell regeneration and reproduction in muscles
  • Creates more pronounced lean muscle tissue
  • Increases bone density, potentially reducing osteoporosis risk
  • Enhances healing properties
• Dosage:
  • 100 micrograms injected at the same time every day
• Effects:
  • Muscle tissue and strength gains
  • Increased performance
  • Reduced body fat levels
  • Faster healing of muscle tissue

4. Phollostatin

Phollostatin has become increasingly popular among bodybuilders for its muscle growth properties.

• Benefits:
  • Promotes muscle growth in response to muscle damage
  • Acts as a myostatin inhibitor, allowing for accelerated muscle growth
• Dosage:
  • 100 micrograms injected once a day for 10-30 days
• Effects:
  • Rapid muscle growth
  • Decreased body fat
  • Improved fertility
  • Reduced muscle loss

5. CJC 1295

CJC 1295 is a favourite among bodybuilders for its muscle-building effects.

• Benefits:
  • Increases plasma growth hormone levels
  • It provides greater muscle definition and a leaner frame
• Dosage:
  • With DAC (Drug Affinity Complex): Inject 500 micrograms once a week
  • Without DAC: Inject 100-500 micrograms several times per day, taking on an empty stomach
• Effects:
  • Shortened muscle recovery times
  • Enhanced muscle definition and strength
  • Increased fat metabolism and reduced signs of aging
  • Improved sleep quality

How to Inject Peptides

Injecting peptides is relatively simple and involves using a tiny insulin needle, similar to what diabetics use. Here is a step-by-step guide:

Step-by-Step Injection Guide

1. Wash Your Hands: Clean your hands thoroughly with soap or hand sanitizer.
2. Prepare the Needle: Follow your doctor’s instructions for the needle and injection.
3. Clean the Injection Site: Use an alcohol swab to clean the injection site and the top of the peptide vial.
4. Pinch the Skin: Pinch one to two inches of skin with your thumb and index finger.
5. Inject the Needle: Push the needle into the skin, ensuring it’s slightly beneath the surface (subcutaneous injection).
6. Aspirate the Needle: Pull out slightly to avoid hitting a vein.
7. Inject the Peptide: If there’s no blood, inject the peptide.
8. Dispose Properly: Remove the needle and dispose of it in a biohazard container.

The upper arm, abdomen (about 2 inches from the belly button), and glutes are common spots for injection.

Pro Tip:

“Clean the injection site thoroughly to avoid any infection.”

Conclusion

Now that you know the top five peptides for muscle growth, it’s time to talk to your doctor and get the necessary blood tests done. Please, do not just order from any online store and inject yourself without professional guidance. The world of peptides and supplements can be like the Wild West, so always prioritize safety and professional medical advice.
