Side-by-Side Comparison

AspectLL-37 (Cathelicidin)AOD-9604 & CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin (Stack)
MechanismDisrupts bacterial membranes, neutralizes endotoxins, modulates immune cell function, and promotes wound healing. Has both direct antimicrobial and immunomodulatory effects.AOD-9604 stimulates lipolysis and inhibits lipogenesis without affecting IGF-1 or blood glucose. CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin provide sustained and pulsatile GH release to support metabolism and lean tissue. The combination targets fat loss through multiple mechanisms while preserving muscle.
Typical DosageResearch protocols vary widely. Typical ranges: 50-200mcg administered subcutaneously 2-3 times weekly. Some protocols use higher doses for acute infections.Typical protocol: AOD-9604 200-400mcg, CJC-1295 100-200mcg, Ipamorelin 100-200mcg daily. Usually administered in the morning fasted or before exercise.
AdministrationSubcutaneous injection. Can cause significant injection site reactions. Often used in conjunction with other immune-supporting protocols.Subcutaneous injection. Best administered fasted to maximize fat-burning effects. Can be taken as a pre-mixed blend or separate injections. Cycles typically run 8-16 weeks.
Side EffectsInjection site pain and reactions are common. May cause flu-like symptoms, temporary fatigue, or immune activation responses.Mild injection site reactions, headache, nausea. Generally well-tolerated as AOD-9604 lacks many HGH side effects.
