Cost Comparison: The Budget Reality
Cost is often the deciding factor. Tesamorelin is dramatically more expensive than ipamorelin, and the gap widens over multi-month protocols. Peptide cost per month $400 to $800 $40 to $80 With CJC-1295 stack N/A (usually solo) $70 to $120 total Syringes/suppl

- Tesamorelin's price reflects its status as an FDA-approved pharmaceutical (Egrifta). Compounding pharmacies offer it at lower prices than brand-name Egrifta, but it remains one of the most expensive peptides available. For a breakdown of costs across all peptides, use the peptide cost calculator.
- Ipamorelin is widely available from research peptide suppliers and compounding pharmacies at $30 to $80 per 5 mg vial. A standard protocol (200 mcg three times daily = 600 mcg/day) uses roughly 18 mg per month, costing $100 to $300 depending on the source. Adding CJC-1295 adds $30 to $60 per month.
