The Anti-Aging
+ Hair Stack
Over the next 12 weeks, you'll take 2 peptides at bedtime (Mon / Wed / Fri), apply a third to your scalp every morning, and have the option to add a fourth once you've got the routine down. Most people notice deeper sleep in the first two weeks and visible hair changes around the 8-week mark.
This is education, not medical advice. Always run a new protocol by a clinician who works with peptides. We'll show you how to find one further down.

WHAT YOU'RE TAKING, IN DETAIL
💉
INJECTION·PRIMARY
Sleep & growth booster
(CJC-1295)
Tells your body to make more of its own growth hormone overnight, for better sleep, better recovery, slower aging.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED FOR THIS ONE
shared supplies (syringes, etc.) listed at bottom
- CJC-1295 vial (5 mg)· $80-110
Order CJC-1295 →HOW MUCH
Half a tick on a U-100 insulin syringe
500-750 mcg
WHEN
3 nights a week, right before bed (Mon / Wed / Fri)
12-16 weeks, then a 4-week break
HOW TO TAKE IT, STEP BY STEP
- Reconstitute the vial once: add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to the dry powder. (You'll only do this the first time, and it'll then last ~2 months refrigerated.)
- Wipe the rubber top of the vial with an alcohol pad.
- Pull the syringe plunger to the 25-mark (that's half a 'tick' on a U-100 syringe).
- Push the needle in, flip the vial upside-down, slowly pull plunger to fill.
- Pinch ~1 inch of skin on your lower belly (about 2 inches from your belly button), push needle in at a 45° angle, slowly press plunger.
- Pull needle out, dab with alcohol pad. Drop the used syringe in a sharps container.
WHAT TO EXPECT
First 2 weeksDeeper sleep is usually the first thing you notice.
Weeks 4-6Recovery time after workouts noticeably shorter.
Weeks 8+Skin elasticity, sleep depth, energy, all compounding effects.
💉
INJECTION·PRIMARY
Pairs with CJC-1295
(Ipamorelin)
Works alongside CJC-1295 like a one-two punch, amplifying the growth hormone pulse for better recovery and sleep depth.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED FOR THIS ONE
shared supplies (syringes, etc.) listed at bottom
- Ipamorelin vial (5 mg)· $70-100
Order Ipamorelin →HOW MUCH
About a quarter tick on a U-100 syringe
200-250 mcg
WHEN
Mix it with CJC-1295 in the same syringe, same nights, same time
12-16 weeks, same schedule as CJC-1295
HOW TO TAKE IT, STEP BY STEP
- After drawing CJC-1295 into the syringe (see step above), draw Ipamorelin into the same syringe from its own vial.
- Inject as one shot, same site, same technique. The two peptides work synergistically when given together.
WHAT TO EXPECT
First weekSubtle. The effect shows up as deeper sleep on the CJC nights.
Weeks 4-8Recovery, body composition shifts.
🧴
APPLY TO SKIN·PRIMARY
Skin & scalp peptide
(GHK-Cu)
A copper peptide your body already makes. Applied to skin or scalp, it tells tissue to repair itself. Great for hair density and skin tone.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED FOR THIS ONE
shared supplies (syringes, etc.) listed at bottom
- GHK-Cu topical solution (with dropper)· $60-90
Order GHK-Cu →HOW MUCH
A few drops, rubbed in
1-2 mg topical solution
WHEN
Every morning, on damp skin or scalp
Continuous for 4-6 months, then reassess
HOW TO TAKE IT, STEP BY STEP
- After a shower (skin still slightly damp), put 3-5 drops on your scalp where you want regrowth.
- Massage it in for ~30 seconds. Let air-dry, don't towel it off.
- Wait 5 minutes before applying any other hair products.
WHAT TO EXPECT
First monthLess shedding when you wash your hair.
Months 3-4Visible thickening at the temples and crown for most.
💉
INJECTION·OPTIONAL
Advanced hair regrowth
(PTD-DBM)
Newer peptide that reactivates dormant hair follicles. Optional: add only after you've been on GHK-Cu for 2-3 months and want to push further.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED FOR THIS ONE
shared supplies (syringes, etc.) listed at bottom
- PTD-DBM vial (5 mg)· $120-180
Order PTD-DBM →HOW MUCH
A small scalp injection, your provider does this
0.5-1 mg
WHEN
Scalp injection 2-3x weekly (best done by a clinician)
16-24 weeks minimum
HOW TO TAKE IT, STEP BY STEP
- This one we don't recommend self-administering. It's a small scalp injection that benefits from clinician hands.
- Find a peptide-literate provider via your telehealth network. We've linked a few below.
WHAT TO EXPECT
First 6 weeksNothing visible. The regrowth phase takes time.
Months 3-5New hairs at follicles that had gone dormant.
BEFORE YOU START: YOUR SUPPLY LIST
Here's everything you need to actually start. Roughly $250-450 for the first month including all 4 peptides. Refills run about $200-300/month.
WHEN TO CALL A DOCTOR
Most people experience no side effects. But it's worth knowing what's actually worth a call so you don't worry about every twinge, and don't ignore something real.
- Persistent injection-site redness, swelling, or pain lasting more than 24 hours.
- Any unusual lump or growth that wasn't there before starting (especially with GH-releasing peptides like CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin).
- Persistent water retention, swelling in hands or feet, or numbness in your fingers, which can indicate excessive GH activity.
- New or worsening headaches, vision changes, or blood pressure changes.
- Any change you weren't expecting that doesn't resolve in a few days.
