Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin
The recomp GH stack: the clinically proven GHRH with the cleanest GHRP.
Why this stack
Tesamorelin is the GHRH analog with the strongest human record on this site: FDA approval and measured visceral fat reduction in trials. Ipamorelin adds the GHRP half of the pulse, the same job it does next to CJC-1295. This stack gets picked over the CJC pairing when the research question is body composition, especially visceral fat, rather than general recovery.
The protocol at a glance
Community-reported maintenance amounts, derived live from each compound's protocol page. Click through for titration phases, reconstitution steps and the evidence grading behind every number.
| Compound | Dose | Frequency | Recon | Units/injection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tesamorelin Human trial data |
2 mg | Once daily, evening | 10 mg + 1 mL | 20 units (0.2 mL) |
| Ipamorelin Human trial data |
250 mcg | Once daily at bedtime | 10 mg + 1 mL | 2.5 units (0.025 mL) |
How it is run
- One bedtime subcutaneous injection covering both, on an empty stomach where possible.
- 8 to 12 week blocks with 4 to 8 weeks off; IGF-1, fasting glucose and lipids are the labs to watch.

Track this stack
The free tracker logs each component on its own schedule, rotates injection sites across the whole stack, and counts down every vial with a reorder heads-up.
Sourcing the stack
Same rule as every protocol page: the batch COA matters more than the price. Summit Research Supply is the supplier we feature; code PEPDOSE applies to each component.
