I don’t entirely agree with that.

Without knowing the exact dosages, there’s no way to judge the stack properly — you’d just be guessing.

And I don’t see a compelling case for throwing CJC (no DAC) + Ipamorelin into this. Sure, they hit different pathways, but realistically they don’t stack up to Tesamorelin when it comes to fat loss.

If Tesamorelin is being dropped and you still want that outcome, HGH is the better route.

CJC + Ipa = recovery / sleep

HGH = a stronger, more reliable fat loss signal

Once you’re at that level (8–10%), peptides matter less anyway — execution does.
Right now my weekly Reta dose is 3mg, motsc is 2mg taken every day, tesa is 1mg per day, and GHK-cu is also 1mg per day. Once I begin my bulk, I was considering swapping tesa out for CJC/ipa. At the moment I figure I'm sitting at roughly 13-15% body fat, so there's still a bit left to lose before the bulk starts. I realize HGH is the superior option, but I'd prefer to avoid shutting down my natural production. HGH is something I have never used.
At 3 mg weekly, Retatrutide is already a respectable dosage.

As for 2 mg of MOTS-C taken every day — that works, though I'd prefer to run MOTS-C only on days you don't train.

A 1 mg dose of Tesamorelin is on the lower side. Most people would begin at about 2 mg instead.

Tesamorelin and HGH share a comparable pathway, but Tesamorelin goes about it indirectly — it tells the liver to ramp up IGF-1 output, and that in turn drives lipolysis. HGH, by contrast, works more directly within the body.

Whether 1 mg of GHK-Cu per day makes sense comes down to what you're after — skin, recovery, healing, and so on.

CJC-1295 plus Ipamorelin won't stand in for Tesamorelin. Their mechanisms of action differ.

On the subject of HGH: your body naturally makes about 1.5 IU each day, and that output usually bounces back once you quit using HGH.

Ultimately, the choice of what suits your goal is yours — what I've laid out is simply the stack I'd suggest.
It looks like AI is writing your comments for you. Claude is available to everyone here, so there's no point in dressing up its output to sound more human before posting it.

As for the original poster: what's your age? From what I've seen, GHK-Cu mainly benefits people who are 40 or older.
I'm 43, and my reason for using it is skin health. Later on I was considering a switch to KLOW, so that I wouldn't need to pin 4 separate times. That one I'd want for skin health plus recovery time as well

Will be going into a bulk

Hello, and welcome to GLP1Chat.

Sitting at 8%-10% body fat is seriously impressive.

If losing fat is what you care about most, my own pick would be hgh rather than a secretogoblin like tesa, ipa, or cjc.

Best of luck hitting your target!
appreciate it. Yeah, that goal is a hard one, but I know diet and exercise will get me there. When I reach it, my plan is to shift the diet toward a bulk with more calories, protein and carbs. That's the point where I was thinking of moving to CjC and ipa, no longer for fat loss. Right now I'm around 12-15%, and my abs are starting to creep out lol
In the same boat (12-15%), with 8-10% as the target for a photoshoot. I hit that range back in my younger days, and honestly after 40 it's way tougher to get there (I'm nearly 46 💀), though with discipline it's still doable (plus glp's obviously 😉)

We can do this man 💪



CJC+Ipa went in for me, less for dropping fat and more for improved sleep (which tends to go sideways while dieting), and up to now it's been solid.
 
Hey everyone, is there any info out there about GHK CU being useful for psoriasis? I have it on my face and body — these large red patches that have been with me since I was 7, and I'm 18 now. On top of that, I'm on the shorter side. I read that HGH might add height, but apparently that only works while growth plates are still open. Some places say they fuse between 16-18, other places say it can happen as late as 21, so I'm unsure whether HGH would do anything for my height. Right now I'm 1m67.
 
From what I recall, every tesa clinical trial used 2mg across long durations, so if you're okay with it, bumping that dose up might be worth considering 👍

Absolutely, I'll do that for sure. These 5mg vials are going to get used up fast—I need to get larger ones.
