| Aspect | Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 | AOD-9604 & CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin (Stack) |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Suppresses interleukin-6 (IL-6) production, reducing inflammation that contributes to skin aging. The anti-inflammatory effect complements collagen-stimulating peptides. | 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 Dosage | Topical: Usually combined with Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 at similar concentrations (2-4%) in the Matrixyl 3000 complex. | Typical protocol: AOD-9604 200-400mcg, CJC-1295 100-200mcg, Ipamorelin 100-200mcg daily. Usually administered in the morning fasted or before exercise. |
| Administration | Topical application with other anti-aging actives. The palmitoyl group enhances delivery into the skin. | 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 Effects | Excellent tolerability profile. Anti-inflammatory properties may actually soothe sensitive skin. | Mild injection site reactions, headache, nausea. Generally well-tolerated as AOD-9604 lacks many HGH side effects. |
