- CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
- Stimulates natural, pulsed GH release from the pituitary
- High
- Moderate-High
- High (due to muscle and water)
- Tesamorelin
- A potent GHRH analogue, targets visceral fat
- Moderate
- High (Visceral)
- AOD9604
- A GH fragment that promotes lipolysis without IGF-1 effects
- Negligible
- Low (potential for decrease)
- Tirzepatide (GLP-1/GIP)
- Mimics incretin hormones, suppresses appetite, aids glucose control
- Low (preserves muscle)
- Very High
- Low (typically causes decrease)
- As you can see, if your research goal is purely fat loss with minimal change in muscle mass, a compound like Tirzepatide might be more appropriate. But if the goal is true recomposition—adding quality lean tissue while stripping away fat—the GH secretagogues like CJC-1295 Ipamorelin are in a class of their own.
