SCHEDULE GUIDE

What does the Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin protocol include?

The Muscle Growth protocol combines Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin in a structured 8-week schedule divided into two phases. The protocol begins with an Adaptation phase before progressing into a longer Growth & Optimization phase. The schedule pairs two growth hormone secretagogues with different timing within the day. Review the complete protocol structure and individual peptide research before considering any published schedule.

Overview

Combines two selective growth hormone secretagogues to naturally optimize GH production for enhanced muscle growth, improved body composition, and accelerated recovery. Designed for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and active adults seeking to build lean muscle mass.

Stack Synergy

The Muscle Growth stack combines Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin in one structured schedule focused on muscle and performance goals. Tesamorelin — The Night Builder: Positioned as the evening component of the stack and scheduled around the protocol's nighttime structure. Ipamorelin — The Morning Pulse: Positioned as the morning component, complementing the schedule with a separate timing window. Together, Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin are organized into a two-phase, eight-week protocol. The role labels describe the published stack structure and do not establish that the combination is safe or effective.

Phase Timeline

Adaptation

Days 1–7 Includes 14 hold days
The introductory phase establishes the Muscle Growth protocol with Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin before progressing into the longer optimization phase.

Review the complete schedule and individual peptide information before progressing through the published protocol.

Tesamorelin
2 mg at night fasted daily
Ipamorelin before bed
100-300 mcg at night fasted 7x/week 22:00 eod

200 mcg subcutaneous before bed. Administer on an empty stomach for best GH response.

Growth & Optimization

Days 8–56 Includes 14 hold days
The primary phase continues the paired Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin schedule across the remainder of the eight-week protocol.

Continue reviewing the published schedule and individual peptide information while tracking strength, recovery, and body composition goals.

Who Is This For

Beginner Level

The Muscle Growth protocol is positioned for individuals interested in structured muscle and performance goals, including athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and active adults focused on building lean muscle mass. The eight-week, two-phase structure may appeal to those who want to track changes in strength, recovery, and body composition within an organized protocol framework. Although the protocol is categorized as beginner-friendly on Peptide Mate, that classification does not establish that the combination is appropriate or safe for every individual. Each peptide should be reviewed independently for its research background, limitations, and safety considerations.
