- Standard Evening-Only
- Once daily
- 100–200mcg each peptide
- 15–30 minutes before sleep
- 2mL bacteriostatic water per 5mg vial (2.5mg/mL)
- Simplest adherence, leverages natural nocturnal GH surge. Effective for body composition and recovery studies without training-specific timing requirements
- Morning + Evening Split
- Twice daily
- 200–400mcg each peptide
- Upon waking + before sleep
- Captures both circadian peaks. Morning dose aligns with cortisol awakening response, evening dose amplifies sleep-onset GH pulse; most common research protocol
- Post-Training + Evening
- Within 30 min post-exercise + before sleep
- Optimises exercise-induced GH response and nocturnal recovery. Preferred for performance and hypertrophy studies where training is structured and consistent
- Three-Times-Daily Maximum
- Three times daily
- 300–600mcg each peptide
- Morning, post-training, evening
- 3mL bacteriostatic water per 5mg vial (1.67mg/mL)
- Highest total GH exposure but requires strict adherence and increases cost. Used primarily in short-duration intensive research protocols
- The standard evening-only protocol is where most researchers begin. It requires one daily injection, leverages the body's natural peak GH secretion window, and produces measurable results in body composition and recovery markers within 8–12 weeks. The twice-daily variants increase total peptide exposure without requiring mid-day dosing, which improves practical adherence. Three-times-daily protocols are resource-intensive and show diminishing returns. The difference in total GH output between twice-daily and three-times-daily dosing is substantially smaller than the difference between once-daily and twice-daily.
