Monthly Budget Estimates
Basic Stack (Healing)
BPC-157 + TB-500: $70-130/month
Intermediate Stack (GH + Healing)
CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin + BPC-157: $85-165/month
Comprehensive Stack (Longevity)
Epithalon + GHK-Cu + Thymosin Alpha-1: $150-300/month
Clinic vs. Research-Grade
Clinics charge significantly more but provide medical supervision:
- •Clinic peptide therapy: $200-800/month
- •Includes consultation, monitoring, and sourced peptides
- •Medical oversight is valuable for safety
