Marcus Reid is a functional medicine researcher, data analyst, and peptide specialist, and one of the people who built MyPeptidePal. The platform exists in part because of the years he spent immersed in clinical literature, real-world protocols, and the kind of hands-on experimentation that most textbooks skip entirely. He is not a physician and does not pretend to be. What he is, is someone who has done the work to understand how these compounds actually function at a biological level, what the research actually says versus what the forums claim, and how to explain it in a way that makes sense to anyone willing to learn. At MPP, Marcus contributed to building the knowledge base, the protocol frameworks, and the research systems that power the platform. His work covers tissue repair, metabolic health, hormonal optimization, longevity, cognitive function, and cosmetic applications. When the science gets complicated, his job is to make it click.

HGH Fragment 176-191 Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

HGH Fragment 176-191 is typically run in cycles of four to eight weeks at a once or twice daily frequency, always dosed in a fasted state and timed around cardio to support lipolysis. The cycle shape is straightforward: a consistent daily dose throughout with no loading ramp, followed by a one to two week washout before repeating. Because the right dose depends on your fat-loss goal intensity, experience level, and how you structure your fasted cardio timing, the actual number is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator rather than stated here.

Hexarelin Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A Hexarelin protocol typically runs eight to twelve weeks at a two to three times daily frequency, dosed on an empty stomach to preserve the GH pulse. The cycle follows a clear on-then-off structure: after the active phase, most protocols call for a four to eight week break to allow the hypothalamic-pituitary axis (the brain-to-pituitary signaling system that controls GH output) to recover and restore receptor sensitivity. Because where someone lands on the dose depends on their goal, their experience with growth hormone secretagogues, and their individual response, the personalized dose is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator rather than stated here.

GHRP-6 Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A GHRP-6 protocol typically runs 8 to 12 weeks at three injections per day, timed to an empty stomach in a morning, midday, and bedtime pattern that aligns with the compound's short half-life and the body's natural GH pulse rhythm. The cycle follows a titration shape: most protocols start conservatively in the first two weeks to gauge appetite response, step the dose per injection upward through weeks three and four, and hold at the target level through the remainder of the cycle, followed by a 4 to 6 week off-cycle break to restore receptor sensitivity. The exact dose per injection depends on your goal, your experience level, and how your appetite response develops, and is built for you in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator rather than fixed here.

GHRP-2 Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A GHRP-2 protocol runs 8 to 12 weeks with the dose titrated gradually upward over the first few weeks rather than set at a fixed amount from day one. Frequency progresses from once daily at bedtime for beginners to twice or three times daily for more experienced users, with every injection requiring an empty stomach. After the on-cycle, a 4 to 8 week off-cycle break allows receptors and hormone levels to normalize before repeating. The personalized dose depends on your goal, your experience with secretagogue protocols, and how many times daily you inject, and those numbers are built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator rather than fixed here.

Glutathione Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A glutathione protocol typically runs 8 to 12 weeks at two to three times per week for injectable forms, or daily for oral, following a lower-dose initiation phase that settles into a steady active phase before tapering to maintenance. The cycle shape holds whether the goal is antioxidant support, liver and immune detox, or skin brightening, though the delivery route and goal together determine where on the dose spectrum someone lands. After the active phase, most protocols drop to bi-weekly or monthly maintenance, then take a two to four week break before starting again. The exact dose for your goal, route, and experience level is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.

GLOW Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A GLOW protocol typically runs 4 to 6 weeks of once-daily subcutaneous injections, followed by a 2 to 4 week off-cycle break, with some goals calling for longer 8 to 12 week active phases. The stack combines GHK-Cu, TB-500, and BPC-157 in a single pre-blended vial, and the dose stays consistent throughout the active phase rather than tapering between a loading and maintenance block. The exact dose depends on your goal, your experience level, and whether you are running the pre-blend or separate vials, and that personalized number is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator rather than fixed in this guide.

GHK-Cu Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A GHK-Cu protocol typically runs in cycles of four to eight weeks on, followed by a two to four week break, dosed two to five times per week for injectable use depending on the goal, with the on-period following a gradual titration from a conservative start up to the effective working level. Topical use can be maintained more continuously with monitoring, while injectable cycling is essential to manage copper load. The exact dose depends on your goal, your delivery route, and your individual response, and is built for you in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.

Epithalon Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

An Epithalon protocol runs as a short, concentrated active cycle of 10 to 20 consecutive days, dosed once daily in the evening, followed by a long off-cycle break of four to six months before the next cycle begins. Most people run two to three cycles per year, and the protocol follows a simple on/off pattern rather than a continuous-use schedule. This guide explains how the cycle is structured, what timing and frequency principles matter, what to expect week by week, and where protocols most commonly go wrong. The personalized dose is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.

DSIP Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A DSIP protocol typically runs four to eight weeks at a frequency of three to five times per week, timed one to three hours before sleep. The cycle follows a gradual titration shape rather than a hard loading phase, starting conservatively in the first week or two and stepping up based on individual response, then settling into a steady nightly rhythm through the maintenance window. After the active cycle, a two to four week break is standard before restarting. The exact dose depends on your sleep goal, your preferred delivery route, and how you respond individually, and is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator rather than fixed here.

CJC-1295 NO DAC Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A CJC-1295 NO DAC protocol typically runs eight to twelve weeks at a once-daily frequency, dosed in a fasted state before bed to amplify the body's largest natural overnight growth hormone pulse. The cycle follows a gradual titration shape: the dose builds conservatively over the first few weeks, then holds steady through the rest of the cycle, followed by a four-week off period to allow the pituitary's GHRH (growth hormone releasing hormone) receptors to reset. The exact dose depends on your goal, your experience level, and whether you run it solo or stacked with Ipamorelin, and that number is built for you in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.

CJC-1295 DAC Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A CJC-1295 DAC protocol typically runs 8 to 12 weeks, dosed twice weekly, with the compound's half-life of roughly 6 to 8 days meaning each injection stays active in the body for well over a week. Most protocols follow a gradual titration shape rather than a sharp loading phase, starting at a lower per-injection amount in the first two weeks and stepping up every two weeks until reaching a steady maintenance level by around week seven. After the active cycle, a 4 to 6 week off-cycle break is standard, allowing GH receptors to reset and hormone levels to normalize before the next run. The personalized dose for your goals and starting point is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator, not set here.

CJC-1295 (NO DAC) + Ipamorelin Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A CJC-1295 (No DAC) + Ipamorelin protocol typically runs 8 to 12 weeks on, followed by a minimum 4 week break, with the before-bed injection serving as the anchor across all frequency levels. The two peptides work through complementary receptor pathways to produce a synergistic GH pulse (a short burst of growth hormone released by the pituitary gland), and both are injected subcutaneously in a fasted state. Frequency ranges from once daily for sleep and recovery goals to three times daily for fat loss and performance, with the exact dose determined by your goal, experience level, and injection frequency, built for you in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.

Chonluten Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A Chonluten protocol is built around short, intensive cycles rather than the long continuous runs common with other peptides. The traditional approach runs ten to twenty days at once-daily dosing, followed by a break of several months before the next cycle, with two to three courses per year being the standard rhythm. A second format using synthetic peptide vials runs eight to sixteen weeks with gradual dose increases across the cycle. In either case, the dose is shaped by the delivery route, the specific respiratory goal, and the product format being used. The personalized number is built in the MyPeptidePal app rather than fixed universally.

Cerebrolysin Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A Cerebrolysin protocol is typically structured as a four-week cycle, dosed five days on and two days off each week, followed by an off-cycle break before repeating. The cycle runs at one consistent pattern from the first session to the last, with no formal loading phase, and the dose is shaped by your goal and delivery route rather than fixed at a single number for everyone. This guide covers how the cycle is structured, what determines the dose, what to expect week by week, and the mistakes that derail most first runs, while leaving the personalized dose and schedule to the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.
