Adherence: The share of the doses a protocol asked for that were actually taken, over a week, a month or the whole 90 days. It is the single number that predicts whether a protocol does anything, because a compound taken four days in seven is a different protocol from the one on the sheet. The Tracker shows it as a plain percentage with a strip of days under it, and nothing else, because the number is the motivation.; The Tracker keeps it
Appetite: The wish to eat, which the fat-loss class of compounds works on directly through the appetite centre of the brain. On those compounds appetite falls before the scale moves, usually inside the first two weeks, and the person eats less without deciding to. The results sheet asks for a protein floor from day one for exactly this reason: when appetite drops, protein has to be deliberate or lean mass goes with the fat.; Peptides for shape
Bacteriostatic water: Sterile water with a small amount of benzyl alcohol added, which stops bacteria growing in a vial that will be drawn from many times over several weeks. It is the only water a peptide vial is mixed with. The results sheet gives the millilitres for each vial, and the calculator shows how that volume sets the strength of the mix and the units of every draw. One 30 ml vial covers a whole protocol.; The reconstitution calculator
Baseline: The measurements taken before day one, against which everything later is judged: weight and waist in the same morning conditions, a photograph in the same light, and where a person is having bloodwork, the panel drawn before the first dose. Without a baseline a change cannot be seen, only felt. The Planner puts the baseline on the calendar the day before the first dose, and the Bloodwork log keeps the numbers beside the day-90 retest.; The bloodwork log
BMI: Body mass index: weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. A rough sorting number, not a diagnosis, which the quiz uses in one place: a lean body asking for fat loss is steered away from the fat-loss class as the core answer. The body composition timeline shows BMI now and at the target when a height is entered, and nothing on this site colours the number or tells you what it means for you.; The body composition timeline
Body composition: What a body is made of rather than what it weighs: how much is fat, how much is lean tissue, and where each sits. Two people at the same weight can have very different compositions, and a protocol that loses fat while keeping muscle changes composition even when the scale is slow. The waist measurement and the same-light photograph track composition better than weight does, which is why the sheet asks for all three.; Peptides for shape
Bruising: A small dark mark where a needle passed a tiny vessel under the skin. It is the most common thing a first-time injector notices and it is not a problem: press a little longer next time, and move to a different site as the rotation suggests. Bruising that grows, stays hot, or hurts the next day is different and is described on the side-effects page. Rotating sites is the main thing that keeps bruising rare.; Peptide side effects
Ceiling: The highest dose a ladder reaches. A titration ladder starts low, steps up on a fixed rhythm, and stops at the ceiling, which the results sheet sets for each compound. The ceiling is not a target to reach as fast as possible; it is the top of the range the protocol uses, and a person who is comfortable a step below it may stay there. The Planner draws the ladder with its ceiling as a flat line at the end.; The Protocol Planner
Cold chain: Keeping a peptide cold from the moment it is made to the moment it is used. Unmixed vials travel and are stored cold; mixed vials live in the fridge and are used within the weeks the sheet gives. Heat is what degrades a peptide, not time on its own. Delivery is cold and sealed, which is why orders are final, and travel means an insulated pouch, cabin baggage, and never the hold of an aircraft, which freezes.; Storage and handling
Concentration: How much peptide is in each millilitre once the vial is mixed, written as mg/ml. It is set entirely by the vial and the water: a 10 mg vial in 2 ml is 5 mg/ml, and the same vial in 4 ml is 2.5 mg/ml. The dose does not change with the water; the number of units on the syringe does. Every unit figure on this site is a dose divided by a concentration, and the calculator does that sum for the vial in your hand.; The unit converter
Conflict: Two compounds the protocols here never run at the same time. Two of the fat-loss class, because that is a dosing error and not a stack. Two on the growth hormone axis, because it doubles the cost and hides which one did anything. A blend beside one of its own contents, because that is paying twice for the same molecule. The stacking checker reads these from the engine that builds the protocols and shows them for any set you pick.; The stacking checker
Cycling: Running a compound for a block of weeks, stopping for a break, then starting again. The growth hormone pairing is cycled because it works with the body's own release, and a pause keeps that response fresh. Repair peptides usually come off once the tissue has healed. The fat-loss compound and the copper peptide are continued rather than cycled. The cycling guide says which is which and what the day-90 decision looks like for each.; Cycling and duration
Final sale: Every order from our partner and supplier is final. Vials ship cold and sealed, and once they have left the cold chain they cannot be taken back into it, so nothing is returned or exchanged. This is why a protocol here starts with one compound and adds the second at week five: the first order is as small as it can be, and nothing is bought before it has earned its place. The supplies checklist is built around the same idea.; Where to buy
Flushing: A warm, red feeling in the face and upper body that some compounds cause for a few minutes after an injection, most often when a large dose is pushed quickly. It passes on its own. The results sheet's timing note for the compound that does this asks for a slow push over two to three minutes, and the mixing water is set larger for the same reason. Flushing that does not pass, or that comes with anything else, is on the side-effects page.; Peptide side effects
Frequency: How often a compound is taken: daily, on set days of the week, or weekly. It is fixed by the compound, not chosen, and it is written in plain words on the goal pages and as a rhythm on the results sheet. Frequency is what turns a vial into a number of weeks: the same vial lasts seven weeks weekly and one week daily at the same dose. The Planner puts each compound's frequency on the calendar as the days it is due.; How long a vial lasts
Gauge: The thickness of a needle, on a scale where a higher number is thinner. Insulin syringes come with needles of 29 to 31 gauge, about 8 mm long, the same ones used several times a day by people with diabetes, and they are what a subcutaneous injection uses. Thin and short is the point: the injection goes just under the skin, and most people describe the feeling as less than a blood test. The injection guide covers the first one.; Injection basics
GH axis: The chain from the brain to the pituitary gland to the body's own growth hormone release. The strength compounds here work on that chain rather than supplying the hormone, which is why they are taken at bedtime, when the natural release happens, and why they are cycled. Two compounds on the same axis are never run together. A medical flag for pregnancy, thyroid cancer history or active cancer removes this class from a protocol entirely.; Peptides for strength
GLP-1: A gut hormone that tells the brain the body has eaten, slows the stomach, and steadies blood sugar. The fat-loss compounds are built to act like it, some on that one signal and some on two or three related ones at once. They are one class, and only one is ever in a protocol. The comparison pages set a protocol built on this class beside the branded pens and the telehealth programmes that use it, with sources and read dates.; The pen comparison
Goal: One of the seven outcomes the quiz asks about first: shape, energy, recovery, skin, strength, sleep and focus. The goal sets the core compound and most of the rest of the protocol, and every goal has a page that says what its compounds do, how the 90 days are shaped, and what it costs from the live catalogue. The cost tool works by goal too. Most people arrive with one goal and leave with a protocol that serves two.; Which peptides should I take?
Half-life: How long a compound takes to fall to half its level in the body. It decides frequency: a compound with a half-life of days is taken weekly, one with a half-life of hours is taken daily or on the days it is needed. It also explains why a missed weekly dose is taken at the next usual time and never doubled, and why the effects of a weekly compound fade over weeks rather than overnight when a protocol stops.; What happens when you stop
Incretin: The class of gut hormones, and the compounds that imitate them, that lower appetite and steady blood sugar after eating. On this site it is the fat-loss class. A history of pancreatitis removes it from a protocol, pregnancy and the thyroid and cancer flags remove it, and diabetes on insulin or a sulfonylurea caps it and sends the person to a prescriber, because the combination can lower blood sugar too far. The stacking checker shows these removals.; The stacking checker
Insulin syringe: A small syringe with a fine, short needle attached, marked in units rather than millilitres, made for injecting just under the skin. It is the syringe every protocol here uses. The common kind is U-100, one hundred units to a millilitre, in 1 ml, 0.5 ml and 0.3 ml barrels; a U-40 syringe is a different scale. The drawn syringe on the calculator shows exactly where to draw to for a dose at the strength you mixed.; The reconstitution calculator
IU: International unit, a measure of biological activity used for some hormones and vitamins, and not a measure of weight or volume. It is easy to confuse with the unit marked on an insulin syringe, which is a volume, and the two have nothing to do with each other. Nothing on this site is dosed in IU. When a sheet says units, it means the marks on the syringe, and the unit converter turns those marks into millilitres and milligrams.; The unit converter
Ladder: The pattern of a dose stepping up over weeks: a starting dose, a step, how many weeks between steps, and a ceiling. Ladders exist so the body meets a compound at its gentlest and the person learns how it feels before it rises. The results sheet sets the ladder for each compound; the Planner draws it as a stepped line and marks each step on the calendar; the vial duration tool counts doses down a ladder to find the week the vial ends.; The Protocol Planner
Lean mass: Everything in the body that is not fat: muscle, bone, organs and water. Losing weight fast loses lean mass along with fat, and lean mass is what keeps the shape and the strength. The body composition timeline caps the weekly rate at the point where lean mass starts to go, and says why. A protein floor and continued training are the two things the sheet asks for to keep it, and the repair blend at week five helps.; The body composition timeline
Loading dose: A higher or more frequent dose at the start of a compound, used to bring the level in the body up quickly before settling to maintenance. Most protocols here do the opposite and start low, but one repair peptide is taken twice a week for the first four weeks and weekly after, which is a loading block. The results sheet says when the frequency changes and the Planner carries that change onto the calendar automatically.; Peptides for recovery
Lyophilised: Freeze-dried. A peptide arrives as a small cake of powder at the bottom of a sealed vial, because in that form it is stable for a long time when kept cold. Mixing it with bacteriostatic water turns it back into a solution that can be drawn into a syringe, and from that moment the clock on the mixed vial starts. Never shake a vial to dissolve the powder; let the water run down the glass and leave it until clear.; Storage and handling
Maintenance: The steady dose and rhythm a compound settles to after any ladder or loading block, and the phase of a protocol after the result has been reached. For fat loss it is the work that keeps what was lost. For repair it is often a lighter rhythm or coming off entirely. The cycling guide covers what maintenance looks like for each class after day 90, and the body composition timeline ends its milestones where maintenance begins.; Cycling and duration
mcg: Microgram, one thousandth of a milligram. Some compounds are dosed in micrograms because the amounts are small, and the switch between mg and mcg is where most arithmetic mistakes happen: a decimal point in the wrong place is a thousandfold error. The unit converter keeps mg, mcg, ml and units in step at the strength you mixed, so the number on your sheet and the number on the syringe agree whichever unit the sheet used.; The unit converter
Medical flag: One of the conditions the quiz asks about: pregnancy or breastfeeding, a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2, active cancer, a history of pancreatitis, diabetes on insulin or a sulfonylurea, and regular prescription medication. A flag removes compounds from the protocol rather than warning beside them. Pregnancy, the thyroid history and cancer remove the fat-loss and growth hormone classes; pancreatitis removes the fat-loss class.; Are peptides safe?
mg/ml: Milligrams per millilitre, the strength of a mixed vial. It is the vial's milligrams divided by the water's millilitres, and it is the one number that connects a dose to a syringe: dose divided by strength is millilitres, and millilitres times one hundred is units on a U-100 syringe. The calculator prints the strength under the units, and the same figure appears on the results sheet beside each compound's mixing line.; The reconstitution calculator
Nausea: Queasiness, the most common early effect of the fat-loss class, usually in the first day or two after a weekly dose and usually fading within the first month as the body adjusts. It is why those compounds start low and step up slowly, why the sheet suggests an evening injection for most people, and why a dose is held rather than stepped up if it has not settled. Nausea with vomiting that will not stop is a reason to message us and see a doctor.; Peptide side effects
Not approved: The compounds on this site are research materials. They are not registered with the Philippine FDA and not approved for human use, and the site says so on every page. That is a fact about their regulatory status, not a claim about what they do or do not do. It is also why the protocol is taken to a doctor who knows you before you begin, and why nothing here is a medical consultation or is written by your doctor.; Are peptides legal in the Philippines?
Peptide: A short chain of amino acids, the same building blocks proteins are made of, shorter than a protein and shaped to carry one signal in the body. Insulin is a peptide. The compounds on this site are peptides that signal for appetite, repair, growth hormone release, sleep or focus. They are taken as small injections under the skin because the digestive system would break them down. The peptides pillar sets out the seven goals and the compounds for each.; Which peptides should I take?
Planner: The tool that turns a protocol into a 90-day calendar: every injection day, each ladder step, the day each vial runs out and the day to reorder it, a baseline before day one and a retest at week twelve. It exports a calendar file with morning alarms, prints, shares by link, and seeds the Tracker. The results sheet opens it with your own protocol already filled in. It keeps everything on your device and nothing anywhere else.; The Protocol Planner
Protocol: The plan for ninety days: which compounds, in what order, at what dose and rhythm, with what to measure and when. Here it is built from the quiz's fourteen questions, starts with one compound, adds a second at week five and a third at week nine only on the largest budgets, and ends with a decision at day 90. It prints as a clean document to take to a doctor. The protocol guide walks through the whole shape.; How a 90-day protocol works
Quiz: Fourteen questions, three minutes, and a protocol. It asks what you want, your age, what is true for you now, how you sleep and train, where you want your body to go, whether you have done this before, how you feel about the needle, your height and weight, the medical flags, a monthly budget, where to deliver, and your first name. The answers stay in your browser for the session and are never sent anywhere, including to the pixel.; Learn
Reconstitution: Mixing the freeze-dried powder in a vial with bacteriostatic water to make a solution that can be drawn into a syringe. The water is added slowly down the inside of the glass, the vial is left until clear, and it lives in the fridge from then on. The amount of water sets the strength, and the strength sets how many units each dose is on the syringe. The calculator does the arithmetic for the vial in your hand and shows where to draw to.; The reconstitution calculator
Research compound: What the vials on this site are: materials sold for research, not medicines. They are not registered with the Philippine FDA and not approved for human use. The site names them and says plainly what each does in the body because that is what a person deciding needs to know, and it says just as plainly what they are not. Fulfilment is by Primara Labs, our partner and supplier, and every price comes from its live catalogue.; Are peptides legal in the Philippines?
Retest: The measurements taken again at week twelve, in the same conditions as the baseline: weight and waist, the same-light photograph, and the bloodwork panel where one was drawn at the start. The retest is what the day-90 decision is made from. The Planner puts it on the calendar and in the calendar file; the Bloodwork log keeps the two panels side by side with the units your lab printed, to take to your doctor.; The bloodwork log
Secretagogue: A compound that causes the body to release something of its own. The strength compounds here are growth hormone secretagogues: they signal the pituitary to release the growth hormone it already makes, rather than supplying the hormone from outside. That is why they are taken before bed, when the natural release happens, why they are cycled to keep the response fresh, and why two of them are never run together.; Peptides for strength
Site rotation: Moving each injection to a different spot so no site is used again before it has recovered. The six sites are the four corners of the abdomen a hand's width from the navel and the front of each thigh. Rotation keeps bruising rare and absorption even; the same spot taken daily thickens. The body map inside the Tracker and on its own page shades the sites used recently and suggests the one that has rested longest.; The site rotation map
Stack: Two or three compounds run in the same protocol. Here a stack is built in order, never all at once: the core alone for four weeks, the support from week five, a third from week nine only on the largest budgets and only if the first two earned their place. Two of one class is not a stack. The stacking guide shows the pairings for each goal, and the stacking checker says what the engine will and will not combine for any set you pick.; Stacking and conflicts
Subcutaneous: Into the layer of soft fat just under the skin, not into muscle and not into a vein. It is how every compound on this site is taken, with a short fine insulin needle, at one of six rotating sites on the abdomen and thighs. The skin is pinched, the needle goes in at a shallow angle or straight, the plunger is pushed, and it is done in under a minute. The injection guide shows the first one, plainly.; Injection basics
Titration: Raising a dose in steps over weeks rather than starting at the full amount, so the body meets the compound gently and the person learns how it feels before it rises. The steps, their spacing and the ceiling together make the ladder on the results sheet. A dose is held rather than stepped up if the last step has not settled, which the sheet calls the hold rule. The Planner marks each titration step on the calendar as a pin.; The Protocol Planner
Tracker: The tool that opens to today. It lists what the plan says is due, with the units to draw and the site that has rested longest, and checking a dose logs the time, the site and a note. Three taps record energy, sleep and appetite; once a week it asks for weight and waist; progress is charted with the ladder steps as markers. It surfaces reorders a week early with a WhatsApp message ready, exports everything as a file, and deletes in one tap.; The Protocol Tracker
U-100: The scale of the standard insulin syringe: one hundred units to a millilitre, so one unit is a hundredth of a millilitre. The 1 ml, 0.5 ml and 0.3 ml barrels are all U-100 and read the same units for the same volume; only the barrel length and the fineness of the marks differ. A U-40 syringe is a different scale, forty to a millilitre, and reads fewer units for the same volume. The calculator draws whichever you hold.; The unit converter
Unit: The mark on an insulin syringe. On a U-100 syringe it is a hundredth of a millilitre, so a dose of 0.05 ml is five units. It is a volume, not an amount of peptide; the amount depends on the strength you mixed. This is why the same dose can be five units for one person and ten for another who added twice the water, and why the results sheet and the calculator always give units for the water the sheet asked for.; The reconstitution calculator
Vial: The small sealed glass bottle a peptide arrives in, holding a set number of milligrams of freeze-dried powder. The size on the label is the whole supply in that vial; divided by the dose it becomes a number of doses, and with the frequency it becomes a number of weeks. Vials outlast months for most compounds, which is why the first order is larger than the monthly figure. The vial duration tool gives the week it runs out and the day to reorder.; How long a vial lasts
Washout: The time after a compound stops during which it leaves the body and its effects fade. It follows the half-life: days for a weekly compound, hours for the focus compounds. A washout sits between the blocks of a cycled compound and before a retest that is meant to show what holds without the compound. The cycling guide gives the usual breaks, and the stopping answer describes what fades and what stays after day 90.; What happens when you stop
