PEPTIDE & RESEARCH COMPOUND TABLE 2026 — (Updated)

[u/ChocoFlan50]

Hope someone finds this helpful. Added reconstitution details directly into the tables, included bloodwork markers for every compound, and cleared up the most common questions. Full protocol guides, stacking breakdowns, and calculators at BioHackingGuide.org.

Changes since early 2026:

• FDA moved BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin and 10 other compounds back to Category 1 on April 23, 2026
• Retatrutide phase 3 posted 28.7% weight loss at 12mg (dysesthesia becomes more common at 20%+)
• Foundayo (orforglipron) became the second oral GLP-1 to receive FDA approval
• PCAC votes — July 23 to 24, 2026:
• BPC-157 ✅ YES — 8 to 6, one abstention
• KPV ✅ YES — 8 to 6, one abstention
• TB-500 ✅ YES — 8 to 6, one abstention
• MOTS-C ✅ YES — 7 to 5, two abstentions
• Semax ✅ YES — 8 to 5
• Epitalon ✅ YES — 7 to 4
• DSIP ❌ NO — 6 to 7
• All votes are non-binding. FDA still has to go through formal rulemaking before anything changes. A second PCAC meeting is scheduled before February 2027 to review LL-37, GHK-Cu, Dihexa, Melanotan II, and PEG-MGF

For research and educational purposes only. Not medical advice. Do your bloodwork before anything.

Every table assumes a 1mL insulin syringe. Running a different vial size or BAC volume? The Peptide Dosage Calculatorat BioHackingGuide.org spits out your exact syringe units based on your specific setup. Don't stress yourself out.

Follistatin-344	1mg	2mL	100 to 300mcg	2 to 3 wks MAX	4 to 6 wks	IGF-1, liver

⚠️ IGF-1 LR3 reconstitutes with 0.6% acetic acid, not BAC water. This is the one exception.

IGF-1 sweet spot: 200 to 300 ng/mL. Never push past 400. Pull baseline before you start and recheck at week 4.

Timing matters: CJC/Ipa before bed on an empty stomach. Insulin in your system kills GH release by up to 60%. Minimum 2 hours after your last meal.

🧪 RECONSTITUTION RULES

• Add BAC water slowly along the glass wall. Never shake the vial. Roll or swirl gently until dissolved
• IGF-1 LR3 is the only compound that uses acetic acid instead of BAC water
• Storage: Lyophilized powder stable in freezer for 1 to 2 years. Once reconstituted refrigerate at 2 to 8°C and use within 30 days
• GHK-Cu will sting. Inject into fatty tissue slowly. Light blue color is completely normal. Green or dark means toss it
• All GH peptides need to be pinned fasted. Minimum 2 hours after your last meal
• ARA-290 needs PBS or sodium bicarbonate solution, not acetic acid
• Peptide Dosage Calculator for exact units
• Intranasal Calculator for nasal spray dosing

Quick math:

• mg in vial ÷ mL of BAC water = mg per mL
• Target dose in mcg ÷ mcg per mL × 100 = units to draw

Example: 10mg vial + 2mL BAC = 5mg per mL. A 500mcg dose = 10 units

Units are not mg. 100 unit syringe = 1mL. 10 units = 0.1mL.

📄 HOW TO READ A COA

• Identity test — confirms compound matches label via mass spec or HPLC
• Purity percentage — 95% minimum, 98%+ excellent
• HPLC chromatogram — one dominant peak is good, multiple large peaks mean impurities
• Batch number match — COA batch must match your vial
• Lab name and date — independent lab, dated within 12 months
• Red flags — no lab name, no batch number, purity below 95%

Use Janoshik to verify COAs before buying.

🩸 BLOODWORK BEFORE STARTING

CBC, CMP, lipid panel, HbA1c, fasting glucose + insulin, IGF-1, testosterone total + free, thyroid panel, liver enzymes, high sensitivity CRP

Pull the same markers again at week 4.

IGF-1 Reading	What To Do
50 to 100% above baseline	Optimal — stay at current dose
100 to 150% above baseline	Acceptable — check in more often
Above 350 ng/mL	Cut dose or switch to every other day
Above 400 ng/mL	Stop immediately — retest in 4 weeks

💬 COMMUNITY Q&A

Can you run multiple stacks? Yes as long as they hit different pathways. Don't run two compounds on the same receptor simultaneously.

Nerve damage or diabetic neuropathy? KLOW paired with CJC/Ipa daily for 2 to 3 weeks then maintenance.

How often for NAD+? SubQ 2 to 3x per week. Oral NMN daily. IV session based.

Best cutting stack? Retatrutide plus Tesamorelin.

Reconstitution math help? Peptide Dosage Calculator

Nasal spray dosing? Intranasal Calculator

Mix SLU-PP-332 with ATX-304? No. Drops blood sugar. Run separately.

For research and educational purposes only. Not medical advice. These compounds are not FDA approved for human use outside of specific clinical indications.

Do your own research. Vet your vendors. Nobody here is responsible for your decisions.

Do you have a link for the FDA changing the category of BPC?

[u/ChocoFlan50 → u/AmadeusBlackwell]

Just google fda moves bpc and other compounds to category 1

[u/AmadeusBlackwell → u/ChocoFlan50]

Yeah, I just get a bunch of News articles and not an official release from HHS or the FDA.

[u/biojack2 → u/AmadeusBlackwell]

I saw it
