Stacking multiple peptides is common in research protocols. Learn which combinations are synergistic, which may be redundant, and how to track everything cleanly.

Stacking — using two or more compounds in a single protocol — is common in the peptide community. The theory is that carefully selected combinations produce synergistic effects. But stacking also multiplies complexity and risk.

## Common stacks

### GH secretagogue stack
- **GHRH analogue** (Mod GRF / CJC-1295 no DAC) + **GH secretagogue** (ipamorelin / GHRP-2 / GHRP-6)
- Rationale: GHRH stimulates GH pulse amplitude; secretagogue stimulates pulse frequency. Together they produce a larger GH pulse than either alone.

### Tissue repair stack
- **BPC-157** + **TB-500**
- Rationale: Proposed complementary wound-healing pathways. BPC-157 is angiogenic; TB-500 affects actin and cell migration. Often used around injury sites.

### Metabolic stack
- **GLP-1 agonist** (semaglutide / tirzepatide) + **mitochondrial peptide** (MOTS-c / humanin)
- Rationale: Addressing glucose metabolism at both the hormonal and cellular level.

## Risks of stacking

- **Unknown interactions** — Most peptide combinations have never been studied in humans.
- **Confounding** — If you start two compounds at once and get a side effect, you won't know which caused it.
- **Overlap** — Stacking two GH secretagogues (e.g. GHRP-2 and GHRP-6) is usually redundant, not additive.
- **Injection burden** — More compounds = more injections = more site fatigue.

## How to log a stack properly

1. **Stagger starts** — Introduce one compound at a time, at least one week apart.
2. **Log each compound independently** — Dose, time, site, batch number.
3. **Log side effects per compound** — Not per stack.
4. **Track outcomes objectively** — Define success metrics before starting.

TrackPep lets you add multiple compounds to your active list and log doses for each independently, so a stack is always transparent, not muddy.
