Peptides in bodybuilding - what they are and how to take them for weight gain and weight loss

Many athletes, in particular bodybuilders, use various drugs that can greatly increase the effect of training. Some people prefer steroids and anabolic steroids, but there is an excellent alternative to them - peptides. They are sold absolutely legally and help you achieve the desired result in the shortest possible time. This article will focus on these drugs.

Growth hormone and peptides in bodybuilding[edit | edit code]

Review of peptides (Y. Bombela, Y. Spasokukotsky)

Peptides

(Greek πεπτος - nutritious) - a family of substances whose molecules are built from α-amino acid residues linked into a chain by peptide (amide) bonds. These are natural or synthetic compounds containing tens, hundreds or thousands of monomer units - amino acids. This class is very diverse and performs a wide variety of regulatory functions in the body. In this article, we will consider only those peptides that are used in sports to correct physical performance.

The circulation of peptide products, including growth hormone, in the Russian Federation is not controlled by law. Therefore, anyone can stamp their own bottles, apply stickers and sell freely.

Types[edit | edit code]

Currently, peptides that are growth hormone (GH) stimulants are becoming more and more common on the market. The most popular peptides in bodybuilding:

• From the
  Ghrelin group (GHRP) :
  (create a pronounced peak in GH concentration immediately after administration, regardless of the time of day and the presence of somatostatin in the blood.) GHRP-2
• GHRP-6 and Hexarelin
• Ipamorelin

• From the group of
  growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) :
  (introduction into the body causes a wave-like rise in concentration, which will be weak during the hours when the natural secretion of GH is reduced due to somatostatin, and high during the natural rise in GH concentration (for example, at night). In other words GHRH enhances GH secretion without disturbing the natural pulsatile curve.) GRF(1-29) Sermorelin
• CJC-1295
• Tesamorelin

HGH Frag (176-191)
- fragment of growth hormone (fat burner)

Benefits[edit | edit code]

Blood concentration of growth hormone after administration of GHRP (100 mcg), growth hormone (7.5 units) or CJC-1295 (3 mg/week)
Many people ask why use new peptide substances if artificial growth hormone exists? The answer is simple: peptide stimulants have several compelling advantages:

• Peptides are much cheaper than growth hormone. The cost of a similar course will be several times lower.
• Different mechanisms of action and half-lives allow manipulation of the concentration curve to achieve optimal anabolic response.
• Different effects on hunger and metabolism allow one to give preference to one or another substance.
• Currently, the production and distribution of peptides is not regulated by law, so they can be safely ordered online.
• They are destroyed quickly and without a trace, so you don’t have to worry about doping control.

Peptides, as well as classic GH, are easy to check for authenticity. To do this, it is enough to take tests for the level of somatotropin in plasma after administration of the drug.

Peptides for weight loss

In bodybuilding, there are 2 types of peptides: structural and functional. The first group includes substances that consist of a number of amino acids and, in fact, are building materials for the body. They promote fast and effective muscle building. Functional peptides are designed for weight loss. They burn fat and help keep your weight under control.

Peptides are excellent for burning fat, because they do not harm the body if you strictly adhere to the dosage and method of application.

Moreover, they help maintain muscle shape and strengthen them. Thus, a course of peptides for drying is an ideal option for those who want to quickly correct their figure. The following are the types of peptides that help in the fight against fat:

• Glucagon . The principle of its operation is to activate the process of burning fat deposits. That is, during exercise and activity, the body uses more energy than usual. Glucagon helps ensure that complex fats are broken down and new ones are not deposited. Under the influence of this peptide, the body more actively produces adrenaline, which also promotes rapid fat burning.
• Endorphins . The effect of endorphins in the body is manifested by a decrease in appetite. When actively used, these peptides suppress appetite, but you should carefully monitor the dosage. For a body that undergoes regular intense training, proper nutrition is necessary.
• Leptin . This is a natural peptide that is present in the body of every person. It also suppresses hunger, but not in the same way as endorphins. Leptin inhibits the production of the hunger hormone, meaning a person feels full longer. Typically, if there is not enough leptin in the body, a person may suffer from a serious form of obesity.

For weight loss you can also use: HGH frag, neuropeptide Y, GHRP-6, GHRP-2, CJC-1295, thymosin and others.

Other peptides[edit | edit code]

• Melanotan 2
  - tanning and libido enhancer
• Bremelanotide
  - increases sexual desire and erection
• Gonadorelin
  - stimulates testosterone secretion
• TB500
  - for the treatment of injuries and joint rehabilitation
• SARMs (selective androgen receptor modulators)
• Growth hormone stimulants
• Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)
• Mechanical growth factor (MGF)
• Erythropoietin
• Delta sleep peptide (DSIP)
• Follistatin
• ACE-031
• Irisin
• Long lasting peptides

Opinions of those receiving

If you look at discussions on forums about the advantages and disadvantages of using peptides, it will be much more difficult to find negative reviews from users. And this state of affairs is explained by the fact that peptides:

• more economically profitable, because they are significantly cheaper;
• have a short decay period, so it is almost impossible to detect peptides during doping control;
• make it possible to regulate the amount of growth hormone that is needed to obtain the desired result;
• do not lead to atrophy of the internal secretion system.

But most importantly, judging by the reviews, they work! With the combination of GHRP-2 and GHRP-6, noticeable muscle growth is observed, without suppression of sexual function, as can occur as a result of the use of steroid drugs. In addition, weight gain due to overeating is inhibited.

Reviews from scientists[edit | edit code]

Research has shown that growth hormone secretagogue peptides (GHRPs), as well as other non-peptide secretagogues, do influence growth hormone production.[1][2]

These observations served as the basis for the development of growth hormone stimulant nutritional supplements (e.g. amino acids, pituitary peptides, Macuna pruriens, fava beans, choline alfoscerate, etc.). There is currently evidence that growth hormone secretagogue peptides and some non-peptide substances can increase levels of growth hormones, as well as insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), both at rest and during exercise. However, there was no observed effect of these substances on the growth of lean muscle mass (however, this study was conducted among men and women over 60 years of age).[3]

Review of the course of peptides Peg MGF and TV-500

Today there is a lot of talk about peptides as an effective form of sports pharmacology. Of course, the lack of side effects and affordable cost are attractive. Recently, certain problems with joints have appeared, and this was the determining factor for my decision to use peptides. I chose TV-500 and Peg MGF.

I must say right away that the speed of delivery was amazing - three days. They think it is very fast and I want to express special gratitude to the seller for this. I would also like to note the quality of the packaging, which turned out to be at a high level. As a result, all bottles were delivered intact, and the course could begin.

I don’t really like injections, as probably most people do, and the drug I chose needs to be administered only three times during the week, unlike most other peptides.

To begin with, I decided to use low doses, after all, the course was the first. Peg MGF was administered twice at 700 micrograms, and the dosage of the third injection was 600 micrograms. In turn, TV-500 was used twice at 1000 micrograms, and the last injection was at a dosage of 2000 micrograms.

There were no problems after the injections, which I am extremely happy about. The duration of the course was 30 days, I repeat that I had not used peptides before, and there were some concerns. As a result, thanks to the course of TV-500 and Peg MGF, during this period of time I gained three kilos of mass, and the amount of subcutaneous fat decreased to 9 percent of the original 13.

The muscles also increased in volume. So the arms became larger by 1.5 centimeters, and the back immediately increased by 4 centimeters. Since there is less fat in the body, the waist has decreased by 4 centimeters. I am very pleased with the results and now I want to conduct a mass-gaining course.

How to dilute peptides and store them properly[edit | edit code]

Dilution and administration schedule

Recommendations from Yuri Bombela, relevant for all peptides:

Solvent

A peptide solution obtained with bacteriostatic water (water for injection with the addition of benzyl alcohol) remains stable on average 2-5 days longer than a solution obtained with ordinary water for injection. If these days turn out to be critical for you, you can try to create bacteriostatic water yourself. Almost all laboratories use bacteriostatic water as a solvent.

Storage

It is recommended to store the lyophilized powder in a dark, dry place at a temperature of about 4°C - if we are talking about a short period of time (1-2 months). At a temperature of minus 18-20°C, the powder can be stored for up to several years.

Tightness and light

Light can destroy powder, as well as oxygen, although peptides are not affected to the same extent by the latter. In any case, you should not break the seal of the package - air trapped inside will slowly lead to the destruction of the peptide.

Freezing

Yuri Bombela believes that “the resulting solution can be frozen once (no more), but only if its pH exceeds 8. That is, only the one prepared with saline.” The author's mistake is that saline solution, like water for injection, has a pH of 7.

Storage of the solution

It is best to store the solution at a temperature of about 2-4°C, let’s rise to 8°C.

Preparation of the solution[edit | edit code]

• Before preparing the solution, the temperature of the bottle should be brought to room temperature.
• Direct contact of the solvent with the powder should be avoided - the solvent should flow down the wall of the bottle.
• It is not recommended to shake the bottle to speed up dissolution. You can shake it with slow, smooth movements from side to side, but it is best to put the bottle in the refrigerator - after a while all the powder will dissolve.

Administration is performed using standard subcutaneous or intramuscular injection techniques.

Use case[edit | edit code]

How to use Ghrp + Cjc

Diluted Ghrp + Cjc peptides with regular water for injection (2ml per bottle)

We get Ghrp = 5mg = 5000 mcg and cjc = 2mg = 2000 mcg, in vials

Don’t forget the solutions: Ghrp, cjc, after dilution, store in the refrigerator at a temperature of +2 to +8 degrees.

Before use, disinfect the rubber cap and the injection site (with alcohol). It is prohibited to mix peptides in vials.

How to put Ghrp + Cjc correctly.

Calculation for an approximate weight of 75 - 85 kg (for convenience, we use an insulin syringe with 100 divisions)

Approximate course for 8 weeks. But first take not the full volume, take 5 bottles of Ghrp, and 10 bottles of Cjc. Then buy more. Here we are pursuing 2 goals, economic feasibility and tracking the result (perhaps even that much will be enough, since the body can give accelerated progress).

In one division of an insulin syringe, Ghrp solution will be 25 μg, and Cjc in one division will be 10 μg.

For a weight of 75 - 85 kg in Ghrp we take 300 µg/day and Cjc - 240 µg/day.

We divide the dosage into two doses (morning and evening) Ghrp 150 mcg and Cjc 120 mcg.

We place the peptides in the abdominal area at an angle of 45 degrees. Can be taken into one syringe.

Harm and side effects

Using peptides in bodybuilding can harm your health.

Along with positive properties, these substances also have negative ones if used in excessively large quantities or in high concentrations.

The result of the action of peptides is clearly visible, and many bodybuilders get carried away with it, forgetting about health and reasonable measures. Taking peptides in excessive doses can lead to the following side effects:

• Protein poisoning . Often observed among beginners who strive to quickly acquire the desired relief. By taking structural peptides, the bodybuilder saturates his body with amino acids for the structure of proteins. If there are too many of these amino acids, the liver begins to suffer.
• Discrepancy between force and mass . Gaining strength and mass should occur in direct proportion. If the muscles grow faster than the ligaments strengthen, the bodybuilder may end up seriously injured and then spend a lot of time recovering.
• Individuality . Peptides are substances that stimulate the production of hormones, but each body is different. At the very beginning, it is worth observing yourself and the body’s own reaction to peptides. In one person, the level of hormones may remain almost unchanged, while in another it will skyrocket tenfold.
• External manifestations . After injections, irritation or a slight rash may appear.
• Decreased appetite . Peptides suppress appetite and give a feeling of joy, but this is deceiving and it is worth remembering. A bodybuilder who spends a lot of time in the gym must eat well, otherwise a loss of strength may occur or health problems will begin and he will have to leave the sport.
• Poor quality product . Remember that there are also fakes on the market. Some are harmless, and any damage is limited to the amount spent. And there are those that can cause serious poisoning or other troubles. Try to buy peptides in trusted places, pay attention to reviews.
• Lack of work for scientists . Today there is no active official work on the part of scientists that would confirm or refute certain properties of peptides. There are no official medical developments regarding improving the composition or action of substances.

If you follow all the rules for taking peptides that are indicated on the package, then you don’t have to worry about side effects.

Which sports supplements should you choose and why?

In the sports environment, there is propaganda of a variety of steroids and hormones, and it is often difficult to understand what exactly will help and what will harm.
This is what the president said about this - an element of complacency among athletes, “they say it’s not hormones.”

At the same time, real peptides for bodybuilding are officially approved and are used by athletes at the Olympic Games and many other competitions. And the peptide bioregulator Gotratix was developed specifically for bodybuilders.

How to store it correctly

It is recommended to store peptide substances at room temperature. This way they can “survive” for 2 months. If you store peptides in a regular refrigerator, their shelf life increases to a couple of years.

As for peptides dissolved in water, they can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days, and in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. These substances can also be stored frozen. In our steroids and peptides store you can buy everything you need.

GHRP-6 (5 mg)

Price: 300 rub.

Anabolic GHRP-6 (5mg) is a fairly effective medical peptide drug that increases the production of growth hormone in the human body. Having a positive effect on the skeleton, it strengthens bones, promotes better tissue regeneration, and increases the strength of the muscle structure.

Moreover, the steroid course GHRP-6 (5mg) has 28 amino acids, which are connected in series and have a very effective effect on the human body as a whole.

Based on natural ingredients, this drug is recommended for use by many medical organizations. It was invented relatively recently, but has already gained popularity and recognition among our compatriots.

The convenient bottle allows you to conveniently use it almost anywhere. By promoting the production of secretion, the steroid GHRP-6 (5mg) at the same time qualitatively improves cell regeneration in the body.

It is interesting to note that you can buy GHRP-6 peptide (5mg) with other drugs, if used together with other growth hormones it will give a synergistic effect. Medical research also proves that this drug has a positive effect on the human immune system as a whole. It is the safest anabolic steroid.

How to use:

GHRP-6 steroid (5mg) is administered intramuscularly through an injection 3 times a day, approximately 1 hour before meals. You definitely need to know how to dilute peptides. Here it is also important to calculate your own dosage of the drug, which is based on the person’s weight. A single dose of anabolic steroid is 1 mcg per 1 kg. person's weight.

Possible side effects:

The drug is not recommended for use by persons under 18 years of age. The daily dose of the stimulant should not be exceeded, as this can lead to suppression of the immune system.

GHRP-2 (5 mg)

Price: 300 rub.

A good and proven steroid GHRP-2 (5 mg) belongs to the group of peptides that stimulate the production of the growth hormone somatotrapin. This drug includes 6 amino acids that contribute to the qualitative growth of muscle mass, and in the shortest possible time.

Being a good secretion stimulant, the anabolic has a positive effect on the growth of muscles, cells, bones and skin throughout the human body.

The drug can be used either alone or in combination with other peptides of a similar nature. Together they give a synergistic effect, that is, they qualitatively enhance each other’s impact several times. The steroid GHRP-2 (5mg) has proven itself exclusively on the positive side, since it is based on natural components.

Its advantages are:

• Stable reduction in fat mass with gradual muscle gain.
• Skin rejuvenation effect.
• Good strengthening of bone tissue.
• Reliable liver protection.
• Reducing blood cholesterol levels.

It is also important to note that GHRP-2 (5 mg) moderately increases appetite, which usually does not lead to a change in diet. So this drug can and should be used. You also need to know how to properly dilute the substance.

How to take the peptide:

The duration of 1 course of using the device is 6-8 weeks, which depends on the person’s weight, as well as the goals and objectives that he sets for himself. It is used intramuscularly by syringe injection according to the following scheme, i.e. you need to know how to inject and dilute: 100 mcg - 50 minutes before training, 100 mcg - immediately after exercise, 100 mcg - before going to bed.

Side effects:

The GHRP-2 steroid (5 mg) can only be taken by healthy people who are at least 18 years old. If you exceed the dose of 1 mcg per 1 kg. a person’s weight, the level of cortisol and prolactin, stress hormones, may increase in the body. Sometimes there may be problems sleeping.

Ipamorelin (2 mg)

Price: 300 rub.

A good anabolic steroid that has proven itself on the positive side. The drug imitates heracline in the body, stimulating the secretion of growth hormone. Structurally, it is a polypeptide, having a sequential amino acid chain Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2.

Among the qualitative advantages of the drug, one should highlight its safety, i.e. it is a mild steroid that has been supported by numerous clinical studies.

Even with an increased dose of hormonal use, it does not cause harm, since it does not lead to an increased release of cortisol and prolactin into the body, which are responsible for a person’s mood.

Thanks to this, the drug is successfully used even by professional athletes. Can be used in a cycle of steroids for women.

The reasonable price of the anabolic steroid Ipamorelin (2 mg) allows it to be successfully used by all our compatriots who want to have good muscles and sculpted shapes.

By using the steroid together with other drugs, a synergistic effect will occur, as a result of which the results will improve by an order of magnitude. The complex peptide Ipamorelin is described as the latest development of leading scientists working on hormonal drugs that stimulate the growth of muscle mass in the human body.

How to use:

The drug is administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously using an insulin syringe. The course of Ipamorelin and its dosage is 1.3 mcg. per 1 kg. the weight of a person, which will be quite enough for a spectacular result. Can be used in conjunction with similar peptides.

Side effects:

There are no serious contraindications to the use of the device, except that it is not advisable for children and adolescents who are under 18 years of age to use it. Some particularly excitable people may have minor sleep problems. In all other respects, the anabolic steroid is a proven and effective means of stimulating muscle growth.

CJC-1295 (2 mg)

Price: 350 rub.

Peptide hormone CJC 1295 is a special product used by athletes. Most often it is used in bodybuilding. Regular use of the drug promotes the release of growth hormones.

Peptide CJC 1295, entering the human body, begins to actively influence the pituitary gland. Such a rapid process provokes an increase in the synthesis of growth hormone in the athlete, so this indicator becomes much higher than that of an ordinary person.

This drug has been used in Western countries for a long time. Thanks to its properties, it has gained popularity and a good reputation, so in some cases it is used at the end of taking anabolic steroids.

This allows you to improve the overall effect of taking anabolic steroids and steroids, because now they are combined in the body with peptides.

Completely safe to use. The maximum effect of the drug is no more than 40 minutes. This remedy is included in the best steroid cycles for gaining muscle mass.

Benefits of regular use:

• energy improves;
• strengthens bone and muscle tissue;
• the body’s recovery time after long workouts is reduced;
• the whole body is rejuvenated;
• excess weight is burned;
• rapid restoration of cartilage occurs.

How to use:

The daily dose is very small - approximately 1-2 mcg per 1 kg of human weight, taken 3 times a day. To slow down the aging process, an ordinary person only needs to take this drug once every 24 hours. This must be done before bedtime. The drug is administered intramuscularly using medical syringes. There are also special courses GHRP 6 CJC 1295 and GHRP 2 CJC 1295.

Precautionary measures:

It is not dangerous to use the drug, because there are practically no contraindications. Due to the fact that this drug only speeds up processes in the body, it is suitable for absolutely everyone. However, before you start taking it, you still need to consult your doctor.

Melanotan-2 (10 mg)

Price: 550 rub.

Melanotan-2 is a synthetic peptide hormone. It is considered a natural analogue of melanocortin. Melanocortin allows you to enhance the effect of tanning, because when it is taken, the body produces melanocytes and the pigment melanin.

The application and use of this product is very useful, because these substances predispose the skin to tan, and this in turn reduces the risk of sunburn.

A tan obtained in a solarium is artificial, and the radiation is harmful to the skin and body, but with regular use of the drug you can get a uniform, real sun tan, without any harmful consequences for the body.

Melanotan-2 has the effect of increasing libido. In addition, due to taking the drug, men and women experience improvements in their sex life.

Since 2010, the product has been therapeutic and is prescribed to people who lack sunlight. Now people can get enough sunlight without harm to the body. They will not get skin cancer, because when it enters the body, this product stimulates the natural pigmentation of the epidermis even before irradiation with ultraviolet light.

How to use:

Before use, be sure to learn how to inject the drug. It is worth noting that one 10 mg bottle of Melanotan-2 contains 2 ml of sterile water. Water is necessary for injections.

The dose of the drug is as follows:

• per 100 kg of body weight – 1 mg for 24 hours.
• per 75 kg body weight – 0.75 mg for 24 hours.
• per 50 kg of body weight – 0.5 mg per day.

Side effects:

How is Melanotan-2 harmful to the body? It is not suitable for people whose total weight is less than 50 kg, that is, it cannot be administered intramuscularly to children. There are also contraindications for some components of the drug. Before using the product, consult your doctor, because the effect can also affect sexual function in both men and women.

MGF PEG (10 mg)

Price: 1000 rub.

MGF is an insulin-like growth factor. MGF literally translates to “mechanical growth factor” or simply “MGF”. The use of this remedy is due to frequent stress and damage to muscle tissue.

Mechanical growth factor has a restorative effect during body overloads. An interesting fact is that this remedy includes several types of proteins that have functional and structural similarities.

During use, they are deposited in the body, and if any muscle part is damaged, they begin to be actively produced, thereby significantly accelerating the healing and recovery process. This drug is also effective during normal overloads. Its use has a positive effect on the body.

Namely:

• loss of adipose tissue occurs in all parts of the body;
• rapid muscle growth;
• human energy improves and overall energy level increases;
• ensures uninterrupted functioning of the immune system;
• has a positive effect on sexual function, heart function and skin plasticity;
• Wrinkles are completely smoothed out;
• vision, memory and sleep improves;
• wounds and small cuts heal quickly.

Instructions for use:

The dose of the drug is the same for everyone. You need to know how to inject PEG MGF and dilute it. The optimal dose of mechanical growth factor is 100 to 200 mcg per 24 hours. Administration is carried out either intramuscularly or the drug is administered subcutaneously. The duration of the course is from 5 to 6 weeks. 2 bottles are used per month. The break between courses is 1 month.

Side effects:

Almost everyone can use the drug, because there are practically no contraindications. Suitable for people of any age, because the mechanical growth factor reacts not only to muscle overload and strain, but also to the appearance of wounds and promotes their rapid healing. For older people, it helps stimulate performance.

Sports drugs allow an ordinary person to transform his body beyond recognition. However, you shouldn’t think that it’s enough to buy anabolic steroids and your muscles will grow on their own. You should also eat right and exercise.

Hexarelin (2 mg)

Price: 200 rub.

The modern steroid Hexarelin (5mg) is a proven anabolic agent aimed at stimulating the production of growth hormone - ghrelin. This substance belongs to the group of peptides that are responsible for high-quality molecular bonds between amino acids.

The Hexarelin device (5mg) is one of the most powerful ghrelin receptor agonists, which gives complete confidence in the positive effects of the drug.

When taking a steroid, completely natural processes are observed in the human body, which distinguishes the drug from selective growth stimulants. There is no additional production of cortisol and prolactin - hormones that directly affect well-being and stress levels.

Thanks to this, taking Hexarelin is a completely safe action, thanks to which, with this steroid for building muscle mass, you can achieve high-quality growth and definition in the shortest possible time.

It also combines well with other anabolic steroids, among which the group GHRP - 2 (5 mg) and GHRP - 6 (5 mg) should be highlighted. When taking both drugs, a synergistic effect on the human body may be observed. So the steroid Hexarelin (5mg) will be especially useful for those who need to achieve positive results in the shortest possible time.

Instructions:

The drug Hexarelin (5 mg) is administered intramuscularly using syringe injections 3-4 times a day. In this case, you should remember about the break between doses, which should be at least 4 hours. The length of the course depends on the characteristics of the person himself, but usually lasts for 6 weeks.

Side effects:

The steroid can only be used by persons who are at least 18 years of age. Before taking it, it is advisable to undergo a medical examination and make sure that the body is healthy and that there are no joint diseases. Otherwise, there are no contraindications, since the drug has natural ingredients and is considered a harmless steroid.

HGH -176 -191 (2 mg)

Price: 350 rub.

The hormonal product HGH 176-191 is a real discovery in the world of peptide supplements in bodybuilding. Studies of the drug have helped to reveal the fact that its regular use and use allows you to get rid of subcutaneous fat and completely lose weight. Fragment 176-191 is a stabilized analogue of the factor, which almost completely releases growth hormone from the body.

The process of contraction and reduction of fat mass is controlled by a small region that is located at the end of the GH molecule. This section contains amino acids 176-191. There are so few of them that they make up less than 10% of the total size of the growth hormone molecule.

Because of this, these amino acids may not have any effect on growth and insulin resistance. Such studies helped to come to the same conclusion: HGH 176-191 only stimulates lipolysis, which is much more effective than growth hormone, and at the same time slows down the process of formation of fatty acids.

This drug has no other effects. Its use is absolutely harmless. Blood glucose levels remain normal. Regular use of the fragment can reduce the aging process of some cells.

How to use:

The fragment can be used by both professional athletes and beginners who are still on their way to success. Can be included in ready-made steroid courses for beginners.

The regimen for beginners is simplified, but it is quite enough. Take it 1 hour before meals and 30 minutes before training and you need to know how to dilute it. Dosage of HGH FRAGMENT 176 191 – 200 mcg. If there is no training that day, then take it at night, 30 minutes before bedtime.

Side effects:

Suitable for everyone, can be used as a steroid for women to lose weight. Does not cause allergic reactions. Since the effect is achieved through regular use, and not through a large dose, this peptide fragment is suitable for any age. However, the advice of your doctor will not hurt and will allow you to take the drug without fear.

TB-500 (2 mg)

Price: 300 rub.

TB 500 is a synthesized version of the natural peptide thymosin beta 4, which consists of 44 amino acids. The hormone Thymosin controls the body's immune reactions, and it is thanks to its high healing ability, several times greater than that of Growth Hormone, that it began to be used in medicine.

Clinical trials and tests have shown that Thymosin affects speed strength and endurance by accelerating muscle growth, improving muscle tone, preventing adhesions, maintaining flexibility and elasticity of connective tissues and accelerating their recovery after injury.

It is these abilities of the peptide that have led to the fact that it perfectly treats injuries and promotes recovery from them, as well as for acquiring a competitive advantage during competitions - the TB 500 peptide.

Once you start taking TB-500, you will be convinced of its absolute effectiveness, incomparable to analogues. The price of Timozin in comparison with similar offers will pleasantly surprise you.

How to use:

The content of the substance in one bottle is 2 mg. The manufacturer's instructions indicate the method of use in the form of subcutaneous or intramuscular injections. To prepare a ready-to-use solution, use sterile water for injection (3 ml per ampoule).

A TB 500 solo course for a person weighing 80 kg looks something like this:

1. Starting with 2 milligrams (1 bottle) per day for 5 days - the first stage.
2. At the second stage - 6 mg per week for 5 weeks.
3. Then during the month of the third maintenance stage - 2 mg for 7 days or 10 mg per month.

Thus, the optimal course is 2.5 months, the required quantity is 24 bottles.

Precautionary measures:

In terms of effectiveness, peptide TV 500 has no analogues among medications. According to the results of studies, no toxic or serious side effects were identified when taking the drug, even at a dose of more than 1000 mg. It is the absence of non-medicinal prohibited doping substances in its composition that explains its popularity. Reviews indicate the high potential of TV 500.

PT-141 (10 mg)

Price: 400 rub.

PT-141 is bremelanotide, which also contains the only synthetically adapted aphrodisiac to date. Its important unique and distinctive feature from its analogues is that it is indicated for use by both men and women, regardless of the physiological parameters of the body.

The active ingredient "Bremelanotide" is a peptide hormone used primarily to increase sexual desire or enhance erection, and has a positive effect on a person's consciousness, causing him to tremble with pleasure.

Studies have shown the effectiveness of RT-141 in the prevention and treatment of impotence in men and sexual arousal disorder in women.

Unlike analogues (for example, Viagra), RT-141 10 mg directly acts to increase libido, affecting the nervous system, but without affecting the cardiovascular system.

At the same time, the most positive effect is achieved when RT-141 and Viagra are taken together. In addition, studies of the drug have proven its ability to produce melanin (like the Melanotan II peptide agent) and thereby stimulate a sharp increase in tanning.

Customer reviews indicate that the drug remains effective for 8 to 10 hours. Moreover, the maximum effect is achieved in the fourth hour after its administration and then gradually subsides.

Application:

PT-141 is used by subcutaneous (or intramuscular) injections into the abdominal area. Why is it better to use insulin syringes? A single dose of the drug varies from 0.5 mg to 1.5 mg. It is recommended to start taking the RT-141 peptide with a minimum dose, gradually increasing the dosage if the previous one is ineffective, until the required effect on the body is achieved.

Precautionary measures:

Doctors do not recommend the intranasal route of administration, since with this method there is a risk of side effects such as increased blood pressure. A bottle of RT-141 10 mg is designed for 10 doses on average. The solution prepared using water for injection can be stored in the refrigerator for 14-20 days.

Selank (5mg)

Price: 350 rub.

Selank is a regulatory peptide recommended for use to relieve internal tension, control emotions, and eliminate anxiety and asthenic disorders.

This is a synthesized analogue of the drug Taftitsin, which can naturally regulate the central nervous system. However, in terms of speed, efficiency, power and rapidity of pharmacological action, there is no drug equal to Selank.

Among the features of its impact are the ability to improve attention and memory, activate the process of learning and perception of information, develop motivational stability, stimulate activity when confronting increased anxiety and increase the adequacy of adaptive behavior.

Effects: rapid elimination of stress, anxiety, depression.

It is indicated for people whose activities are, to one degree or another, associated with intense information and muscle loads and require increased attention and coordination of movements, for example, schoolchildren or students during exam periods, athletes or the military.

Application:

The form of administration of the drug Selank is unique - intranasally, using a dropper bottle. Reception is carried out by instillation of the nasal passages, while in a sitting position, with the head slightly thrown back. 2-3 drops of Selank (or 300 mcg of active substance) are injected into each nasal passage once.

It is possible to increase the dosage to a maximum of 900 mcg, then the drug administration procedure should be divided into several doses with an interval of 10-15 minutes. The optimal daily dose is 12-36 drops (900-2700 mcg) in three doses. The course of treatment is from 10 to 14 days.

Precautionary measures:

Selank peptide does not cause side effects typical of drugs of a similar pharmacological category, such as allergic reactions, drowsiness, addiction, or withdrawal symptoms.

An unpleasant taste sensation may occur if drops enter the oral cavity. Manifestations of allergies are possible only with individual intolerance. There is no incompatibility with other drugs.

Why the price of Selank should not become an obstacle if there is an urgent need to purchase the peptide:

• the proven mechanism of action indicates its obvious superiority in the fight against psychological problems and the treatment of nervous disorders,
• You can buy Selank at several times cheaper than its analogues.

Doping control of peptide hormones

The World Anti-Doping Code has prohibited the use of any peptide hormones since 2003. Their presence in a doping sample is determined by whether the concentration is too high. Unfortunately, in the case of peptides, determining what can be considered an increased concentration is extremely difficult, complex, and sometimes even impossible. This happens because the body produces peptide hormones itself. Moreover, their secretion is not constant; it occurs rhythmically, in accordance with the circadian rhythms of the body. In addition, the amount of peptide hormones secreted by the body strongly depends on the time of day, the level of stress, ambient temperature, pressure and more.

The concentration of peptide hormones, depending on the time of their secretion, is also subject to fluctuations. Thus, attempts to determine through doping tests whether the concentration of hormones is too high, as a rule, do not give objective results. Despite the statements that periodically appear in the media regarding doping scandals with athletes, a high concentration of the same growth hormone can in no way be considered convincing evidence of taking peptide hormones. Once peptides enter the body, it is no longer possible to determine the origin of even a single molecule, which complicates the process of determining their origin.

Another problem lies in the technology itself for determining peptide hormones that have been used as doping. In other words, at the moment the technology for determining the differences between one’s own peptide hormones and injected ones is still only at the development stage. The thing is that peptides obtained in the laboratory from a test tube ultimately achieve complete identity with human ones, which means that even if an athlete uses artificial peptide hormones, it will be impossible to prove this. So it turns out that peptides are officially banned in sports, but this does not in any way affect their popularity, because every athlete knows that it is almost impossible to determine doping with a test.
