Frequently asked questions.

What is the best peptide stack for body recomposition?

The Tesamorelin + BPC-157 + Ipamorelin stack is the gold standard for body recomp. Tesamorelin drives visceral fat reduction via GH/IGF-1, BPC-157 manages recovery, and Ipamorelin adds clean GH pulses.

How long does a recomp protocol take?

Most protocols run 12 weeks. Measurable body composition changes (DEXA-verified) typically begin at weeks 6-8, with significant results by week 12.

Can I do recomp without peptides?

Yes, but peptides optimize the process. The GH/IGF-1 axis support from Tesamorelin helps preserve lean mass during caloric deficit — the hardest part of natural recomposition.
