5-Amino-1MQ Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A 5-Amino-1MQ cycle typically runs four to six weeks at a once or twice daily frequency, followed by a two to four week off-cycle break that allows the metabolic pathway to reset before the next round. The cycle opens with a brief one to two day tolerance-establishing phase, then settles into a steady maintenance pattern for the remainder. Because the dose depends heavily on which delivery route you use, your goal, and how your body responds to NNMT inhibition, the personalized dose is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator rather than stated here.

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

A Bioglutide protocol runs as a continuous daily oral capsule with a gradual escalation phase over the first several weeks into a steady maintenance phase, with no structured off-cycle break. Phase 2 trials ran the protocol continuously for 13 weeks, and the general horizon for meaningful metabolic progress is 20 to 24 weeks of consistent daily use. Because this is a continuous-use metabolic compound rather than a cycle-and-rest peptide, any discontinuation is tapered rather than abrupt. The personalized dose within that escalation arc depends on your goal, your tolerance at each step, and your clinical context, and is built in the MyPeptidePal app.

Gotratix A18 Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A gotratix A18 protocol runs as a defined course rather than continuous daily use: either a focused 10-day short course or a fuller 30-day course, followed by an off-cycle break of two to six months. The compound is taken orally as a capsule or sublingually as drops before meals, never injected, and where someone lands within the dose range depends on their goal, chosen format, and how frequently courses are repeated across the year. This guide covers the full cycle structure, timing principles, what to expect across the arc of a well-run protocol, and the most common mistakes people make, while the personalized dose and exact cycle structure are built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.

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

An NMN protocol is built around daily oral supplementation taken every morning, with meaningful results assessed after eight to twelve weeks of consistent use. The cycle does not require a traditional loading phase, and off-cycle breaks are optional rather than clinically mandated. Your exact dose depends on your goal, your age, and how your body responds, and it is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator rather than fixed here.

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

An NMNH protocol runs as a continuous daily oral cycle of 90 days, taken once each morning at a consistent dose with no loading phase and no mandated off-cycle break. The dose is shaped by your goal, your prior experience with NAD+ precursors, and whether you are new to NMNH or transitioning from a related compound. The exact number is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator rather than fixed for everyone.

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

An AKG protocol is a daily oral supplementation cycle, typically structured as 12 weeks of continuous use with no mandatory off-cycle break. Unlike receptor-targeting peptides, alpha-ketoglutarate is an endogenous metabolic molecule your body already produces, so the cycling logic that governs peptide protocols does not apply here. Most people split their daily dose into a morning and afternoon administration to maintain steadier plasma levels given how rapidly AKG is metabolized. The exact dose depends on your goal, the form you are using, and your experience level, and is built for you in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.

AC-SDKP Goralatide Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

AC-SDKP Goralatide runs as a short, acute treatment window rather than a recurring weekly cycle. The validated structure in research is a 3-day window that begins 48 hours before a hematopoietic stressor, delivered by subcutaneous injection at six to nine administrations across that period, with no established maintenance or off-cycle phase that follows. Because the compound's mechanism and timing requirements differ significantly from most wellness peptides, the personalized dose and schedule are built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator rather than stated here.

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

A larazotide protocol runs as a continuous daily treatment rather than an on-off cycle, with clinical trials studying treatment periods of 12 to 24 weeks and no cycling break required. The compound is taken orally three times daily, with each dose timed 15 minutes before a meal to align its protective window with active food digestion. Unlike injectable peptides, larazotide works locally in the gut lumen and does not trigger receptor desensitization, so no loading phase and no off-cycle break are built into the protocol. The personalized dose is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator, which accounts for your goal, your symptom picture, and how you respond.

SLU-PP-332+BAM15 Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

SLU-PP-332 and BAM15 are two small-molecule compounds often run together as a mitochondrial stack, pairing SLU-PP-332's ability to build mitochondrial capacity with BAM15's fat-burning uncoupling effect. The defining structural feature of this combination is the split-day design: the two compounds are kept on separate days rather than taken together, so the protocol is organized around training-day and rest-day dosing rather than a single daily routine. Most cycles run 8 to 12 weeks, and because neither compound operates through a hormonal feedback loop, a mandatory off-cycle break is not mechanically required, though most practitioners recommend one to reassess baseline. The actual dose for each compound depends on your goal, your experience with thermogenic compounds, and how your body responds, and is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator rather than guessed from community forums.

BAM-15 Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A BAM-15 protocol is built around cycles of roughly 8 to 12 weeks at a once or twice daily oral frequency, run at a steady dose from day one with no distinct loading phase, followed by a break of 4 to 6 weeks before cycling again. The cycle structure is straightforward; what requires more care is the dose, which shifts meaningfully by goal and experience level because the compound's dose-response relationship is not linear. This guide covers how a BAM-15 cycle is structured, what timing principles apply, what to expect across the cycle, and where the common mistakes happen, while the personalized dose is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.

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

A tesofensine protocol is built around once-daily oral dosing, typically structured as an 8 to 12 week cycle followed by a 4 week off-cycle break. The cycle opens with a tolerance-assessment period at the lower end of the dose range, then continues at the target dose for the remainder of the cycle. Because tesofensine has an unusually long half-life of roughly 8 to 9 days, effects accumulate gradually over the first several weeks, so consistency with daily morning dosing matters as much as the dose itself. This guide explains how a tesofensine cycle is structured, what shapes the dose, what to expect week by week, and the most common mistakes people make, while leaving the personalized dose and exact cycle length to the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.

MK-677 Ibutamoren Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect

A full MK-677 Ibutamoren cycle typically runs 8 to 20 weeks depending on the goal, taken once daily in the evening, in a gradual escalation-then-maintenance shape followed by a 4 to 6 week off period. MK-677 is an orally administered growth hormone secretagogue, not a peptide and not injected, which makes it structurally distinct from the rest of the GH-related compounds in this space. This guide explains how a cycle is structured, what shapes the dose, what to expect week by week, and the common mistakes people make, while the personalized dose and exact schedule are built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.

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

A Cortagen protocol typically runs four weeks, dosed once daily in the morning, and follows a titration structure that starts at a lower dose for the first two weeks before stepping up to the target dose for weeks three and four. Because Cortagen works through gene expression changes rather than receptor saturation, its effects can continue developing for weeks after the cycle ends, which is why most protocols are followed by a one to two month break before repeating. The personalized dose depends on your neurological goal, your experience with peptide protocols, and your individual response pattern, and is built for you in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.

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

A VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide) protocol follows a titration-to-maintenance model, typically running 8 to 12 weeks on followed by a 4-week break, or an 8-weeks-on, 8-weeks-off pattern depending on the goal. Because VIP's biological half-life is measured in minutes, most protocols use divided daily dosing in the morning or early afternoon to align with the peptide's natural role in the body's internal 24-hour clock. This guide covers how a VIP cycle is structured, the timing and frequency principles, what to expect week by week, and the common mistakes that derail results, while the personalized dose is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.

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

A Vilon protocol follows a pulsed cycle structure: five consecutive days of subcutaneous injections, then roughly twenty-three days off, forming a single monthly cycle. A full course typically runs two to four of these monthly cycles, covering eight to sixteen weeks in total. The first cycle uses a graduated titration across the five active days to build tolerability, while subsequent cycles hold at a consistent daily amount throughout the five-day window. Because Vilon is a thymus bioregulator whose effects on gene expression are thought to continue during the rest period, the off time is not optional downtime but a structural part of how the protocol works. The personalized dose for your specific goal and experience level is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.
