# # # **GH Secretagogue Summary Cheat Sheet**
Looking for affordable alternatives to pharma HGH? Here’s a concise breakdown of the top GH-boosting peptides and oral options:
# # # # **🔹 CJC-1295 w/ DAC**
- **Pros:** Long-acting (1–2 injections/week), elevates IGF-1, easy maintenance.
- **Cons:** No natural GH pulses, water retention, weak synergy with GHRPs.
# # # # **🔹 Mod GRF (1-29) (CJC no DAC)**
- **Pros:** Mimics natural GH pulses, stacks well with GHRPs, low desensitization risk.
- **Cons:** Requires 2–3 daily injections, short half-life, ineffective alone.
# # # # **🔹 Ipamorelin**
- **Pros:** No cortisol/prolactin spikes, great for sleep/recovery, ideal with Mod GRF.
- **Cons:** Milder GH pulse, multiple daily injections, minimal hunger boost.
# # # # **🔹 GHRP-6**
- **Pros:** Strong GH pulse, major hunger boost (great for bulking), synergistic with Mod GRF.
- **Cons:** Raises prolactin/cortisol, extreme hunger, not ideal for cutting.
# # # # **🔹 GHRP-2**
- **Pros:** Stronger GH pulse than GHRP-6, less hunger, effective with Mod GRF.
- **Cons:** Still affects prolactin/cortisol, frequent injections, may cause fatigue.
# # # # **🔹 Tesamorelin**
- **Pros:** FDA-approved for fat loss, high IGF-1 boost, prescription-grade.
- **Cons:** Expensive, no GHRP synergy, daily injections.
# # # # **🔹 Sermorelin**
- **Pros:** Legal, mimics natural GH, prescribed for anti-aging.
- **Cons:** Subtle results, daily injections, needs GHRP for synergy.
# # # # **🔹 MK-677 (Oral)**
- **Pros:** No injections, huge GH/IGF-1 boost, enhances sleep/hunger.
- **Cons:** Water retention, insulin resistance risk, constant (not pulsed) GH elevation.
**Best for:**
- **Bulking:** GHRP-6 + Mod GRF
- **Fat loss:** Tesamorelin or Ipamorelin + Mod GRF
- **Convenience:** CJC-1295 w/ DAC or MK-677
