- Conservative Research
- 100 mcg
- 200 mcg
- 2× daily (morning, pre-bed)
- +30–40%
- 1.5–2.5 kg
- Lowest effective dose for measurable anabolic response. Ideal for first-time peptide users or those prioritising recovery over maximal hypertrophy
- Standard Anabolic
- 150 mcg
- 250 mcg
- 3× daily (morning, pre-workout, pre-bed)
- +45–60%
- 2.5–3.5 kg
- Most commonly cited in muscle growth literature. Balances efficacy with side effect profile and cost per month
- Advanced Performance
- 300 mcg
- +55–70%
- 3.0–4.0 kg
- Maximum dose before receptor desensitisation begins. Requires cycling off after 12–16 weeks to preserve long-term responsiveness
- Exogenous HGH (comparison)
- N/A (2–4 IU/day direct HGH)
- N/A
- 1× daily (morning or split AM/PM)
- +80–120%
- 3.5–5.0 kg
- Greater absolute IGF-1 elevation but suppresses endogenous GH pulsatility. Significantly higher cost and regulatory complexity
