Frequently Asked Questions About Peptides
What is a peptide and what is it used for?
Peptides are molecules formed by the bonding of several amino acids through peptide bonds. These amino acids have endocrine (hormonal) functions, leading to improvements in metabolic performance by triggering the natural release of growth hormone. When this occurs, our ability to build lean muscle and burn stored fat increases significantly. A peptide is not a steroid, nor is it an androgenic hormonal medication.
How do peptides work?
After the peptide is administered, it sends a selective pulse that stimulates the hypothalamus/pituitary gland to naturally release growth hormone, boosting the body’s own production levels. This pulse can last approximately three hours after application. Once the pulse is triggered, the cells target muscle tissue directly to support its development by increasing cellular synthesis.
What are the benefits of peptides?
Peptides provide a wide range of positive effects on the body, including muscle growth, reduced body fat, enhanced physical performance, and even anti-aging benefits.
Promote muscle growth with significant increases in strength and endurance
- Improve muscle tone
- Enhance substance exchange between cells
- Support tissue repair
- Reduce inflammation in common tissue
- Prevent the formation of adhesions and fibrous bands in muscles, tendons, and ligaments
- Stimulate endothelial cell differentiation (blood vessels)
- Promote angiogenesis (growth of new blood cells from pre-existing vessels) in dermal tissues
- Decrease inflammation in tendons and muscles
- Regulate fat metabolism
- Stimulate lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibit lipogenesis (fat and lipid formation)
- Anti-aging effects
- Increased energy and vitality
What are the side effects of peptides?
Peptides may cause mild side effects such as headaches, a warm sensation in the body, or dizziness. These effects are rare and usually occur in individuals who have never taken any form of supplementation before.
Peptides should not be used by individuals with conditions such as cancer, tumors, or thyroid disorders. Since they act as growth hormone analogues, they can create an anabolic environment in the body, which may be unfavorable in such cases.
What is a peptide cycle?
When we talk about cycles, we are referring to a defined period of time during which one or more products are used to achieve noticeable results. These cycles—also known as treatments—can involve combinations of peptides, SARMs, and, in some cases, steroids. A cycle represents the minimum number of weeks required to generate a perceptible stimulus in the body.
How is a cutting (definition) cycle designed?
This cycle combines the peptide FRAG176-191 with the peptide IPAMORELIN. FRAG176-191 is a modified fragment of amino acids 176 to 191 from the growth hormone, specifically designed to release lipids to be used as energy. This means it selectively targets fat oxidation.
It is engineered to eliminate stubborn fat—particularly in the abdominal and lower back areas—by stimulating lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibiting lipogenesis (fat formation). It is paired with IPAMORELIN, a peptide that promotes muscle fiber tightening, with the goal of enhancing muscle texture and definition while reducing fat.
Additionally, IPAMORELIN helps prevent catabolism during low-calorie phases, acting as a protector of muscle tissue. It also possesses anti-inflammatory and joint-regenerative properties, and it contributes to improved skin and hair quality.
This cycle is specifically designed to promote fat loss while enhancing lean muscle definition and quality.
How should peptides be stored?
Before reconstitution (lyophilized powder):
Can be stored in the refrigerator (2°C to 8°C / 35°F to 47°F) for up to 36 months.
Can be stored at room temperature (up to 37°C / 99°F) for up to 90 days.
After reconstitution (liquid form):
Must be stored in the refrigerator (2°C to 8°C / 35°F to 47°F).
What should nutrition look like when using peptides?
Doses should be taken on an empty stomach to maximize effectiveness (at least 3 hours after your last meal). Do not consume food for at least 15 minutes after your dose. The optimal timing is around 20–25 minutes. GH (growth hormone) pulses are expected to peak approximately 10 minutes after dosing.
Fats and carbohydrates significantly reduce the GH pulse, while protein has no impact. You may have a pure protein source in your stomach at any time without affecting the results.
How is a bulking cycle designed?
This cycle combines two peptides: GHRP-2 and CJC-1295. Both are peptides that directly stimulate the pituitary gland to produce more growth hormone. To be more specific, GHRP-2 creates a pulse stimulus, while CJC-1295 creates an amplitude stimulus. This way, we obtain a synergy that generates a double stimulus in growth hormone production, enhancing the construction and recruitment of new muscle fibers, achieving greater muscle texture and hardness.
The gains from this cycle are lean; it does not retain water or fat, which is an added value during bulking phases, in order to not lose muscle quality. Additionally, it allows for natural fat oxidation, since the more muscle you have, the greater the natural fat oxidation.
What is the dosage like?
Doses can be taken throughout the day, but with a minimum interval of 3 hours between each dose. One dose per day is typical for mild injury repair, anti-aging effects, deep sleep, and general well-being.
The most beneficial time to dose is immediately before going to bed. Sleep is when our pituitary gland is most active, the body recovers, and cells repair and grow. Taking 2 or 3 doses per day will provide the added benefit of lean tissue accumulation, muscle growth, and fat loss—assuming your diet consists of high-quality foods.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT
SARMs (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators)
What are SARMs?
SARMs (an acronym for «Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators») or MSRAs («Moduladores Selectivos de los Receptores Androgénicos» in Spanish), are a unique type of hormone that act as ligands (a molecule that binds to another molecule) which attach to cellular androgen receptors.
SARMs have the ability to stimulate a receptor in a selective way (in this case, targeting bone and muscle). Therefore, they offer benefits comparable to those provided by traditional anabolic steroids—such as increased muscle mass, fat burning, improved bone density, greater strength, and more.
Another advantage of SARMs is that they have fewer unwanted side effects compared to steroids, such as liver toxicity, prostate enlargement, testicular atrophy, acne, gynecomastia, hair loss, etc.
What is the route of administration?
Oral route, since the presentation is in drops.
Should the drops be taken on their own or can they be mixed with water?
It makes no difference — they can be taken either way, and they will work the same.
What is the appropriate dosage and cycle duration for each SARM?
Ostarine: 12.5 mg/day (equivalent to half a dropper or 0.5 ml or 15 to 16 drops), taken daily for 8 weeks.
LGD-4033: 5 mg/day (equivalent to half a dropper or 0.5 ml or 15 to 16 drops), taken daily for 8 weeks.
How often should it be taken?
Once a day, even on non-training days, throughout the entire cycle.
If for any reason you forget to take the dose one day, simply continue as normal the next day — do not attempt to double the dose.
Is a liver protector required?
No. SARMs are not methylated compounds and therefore do not cause liver toxicity.
How long should you rest between each cycle?
It is recommended to stop using SARMs for at least 4 weeks between each cycle.
What is the best time of day to take a SARM?
The timing for taking SARMs is not very important, as they have a long duration of action in the body (24–36 hours). What matters is taking them daily without skipping any days.
Should they be taken on an empty stomach or with food?
The timing for taking SARMs is not very important; the body absorbs them equally well on an empty stomach or with food.
Can I combine them with my supplements (protein, amino acids, nitric oxide, creatine, etc.)?
They can be combined without any problem.
Should a specific diet be followed?
Ideally, the diet should match your specific goals. For example, someone looking to burn body fat and define muscle using an Ostarine cycle should follow a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. On the other hand, someone aiming to gain muscle mass with an LGD-4033 cycle will see better results with a diet high in both protein and carbohydrates.
Can different SARMs be combined?
Technically yes, but since SARMs compete for the same androgen receptors, combining them is not very efficient. We do not recommend it.
Can alcohol be consumed during a SARM cycle?
SARMs do not interact with alcohol. Alcohol can be consumed during a SARM cycle without issue, but it is not highly recommended.
What can a SARM be combined with to achieve even better results?
To increase SARM results by 30 to 80%, it is recommended to combine them with an oral growth hormone precursor cycle, MK-677.
Do they have any impact on estrogen levels?
SARMs do not aromatize, so they do not lead to a significant increase in estrogen levels.
Can other side effects occur?
SARMs can lead to a temporary reduction in natural testosterone production, especially during long cycles or when high doses are used. In general, testosterone levels return to normal within one to two weeks. RAD-140 is the SARM that suppresses natural testosterone production the most. LGD-4033 can also cause this effect, but to a lesser degree. Ostarine is the least suppressive of the three.
Can a SARM be combined with anabolic steroids?
Yes. The combination protocol is not well-defined, but SARMs can be combined to enhance the results achieved with an anabolic steroid cycle. In particular, RAD-140 is very effective in this regard. However, for anabolic steroid users, it is generally considered better to use a SARM between two steroid cycles to help maintain the results achieved during the cycle.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Under no circumstances do we recommend doing steroid cycles without medical supervision. Steroids can have extremely serious side effects. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor.
Is post-cycle therapy (PCT) necessary?
In men, it is recommended to take a mild SARM like raloxifene (or toremifene) at the end of each LGD-4033 or RAD-140 cycle to prevent a drop in natural testosterone production. In general, post-cycle therapy is not necessary after a cycle with just one bottle of Ostarine. However, if the cycle includes two bottles of Ostarine, it is recommended to take raloxifene as a precaution.
POST-CYCLE PROTOCOL: take 50 mg of raloxifene powder dissolved in water every day for 10 to 20 days starting from the last day of the SARM cycle.
