Running a single peptide is straightforward — same dose, same time, every day. Running two or three compounds simultaneously is where things get complicated. Different peptides have different dosing frequencies (daily vs. twice weekly vs. once weekly), different timing requirements (fasted vs. any time), and different vial depletion rates. Without a clear peptide dosing calendar, the schedule becomes a guessing game within the first week.
Why Multiple Compounds Need a Calendar
The core challenge of a multi-compound protocol is that each peptide has its own rules:
- Frequency varies. BPC-157 is typically injected once or twice daily. TB-500 is injected twice per week. Semaglutide is injected once per week. Running all three means daily, twice-weekly, and weekly injections stacked on top of each other
- Timing constraints differ. Growth hormone secretagogues like ipamorelin and CJC-1295 must be taken on an empty stomach. BPC-157 has no food restrictions. Semaglutide is taken once a week at any time. Mixing these up reduces effectiveness
- Vials deplete at different rates. A BPC-157 vial at 250 mcg twice daily lasts 10 days. A TB-500 vial at 2.5 mg twice weekly lasts 1 week. A semaglutide vial at 0.5 mg weekly lasts 10 weeks. Without tracking each one separately, you will run out of one compound unexpectedly while the others still have plenty left
A peptide injection calendar solves all of these issues by laying out exactly what you inject, when you inject it, and from which vial — for every day of the week.
Timing Considerations for Common Peptides
Before building your calendar, you need to know the timing rules for each compound:
| Peptide | Frequency | Timing Rule | Food Restriction |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | 1-2x daily | Any time, spaced 8-12 hours apart if 2x | None |
| TB-500 | 2x/week (loading), 1x/week (maintenance) | Any time, evenly spaced through week | None |
| Ipamorelin | 1-3x daily | Fasted — 2+ hours after food, 20-30 min before food | Strict fasted |
| CJC-1295 (no DAC) | 1-3x daily (with ipamorelin) | Same as ipamorelin — taken together | Strict fasted |
| Semaglutide | 1x/week | Same day each week, any time of day | None |
The fasting requirement for GH secretagogues is the most important timing constraint. Elevated blood sugar and insulin blunt the growth hormone pulse these peptides are designed to create. Plan GH peptide doses around meal times — first thing in the morning before breakfast and before bed are the two most common windows.
Sample Calendar: Healing Stack (BPC-157 + TB-500)
This is the most common multi-compound protocol for injury recovery:
| Day | Morning | Evening |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | BPC-157 250 mcg + TB-500 2.5 mg | BPC-157 250 mcg |
| Tuesday | BPC-157 250 mcg | BPC-157 250 mcg |
| Wednesday | BPC-157 250 mcg | BPC-157 250 mcg |
| Thursday | BPC-157 250 mcg + TB-500 2.5 mg | BPC-157 250 mcg |
| Friday | BPC-157 250 mcg | BPC-157 250 mcg |
| Saturday | BPC-157 250 mcg | BPC-157 250 mcg |
| Sunday | BPC-157 250 mcg | BPC-157 250 mcg |
Total weekly injections: 14 BPC-157 doses + 2 TB-500 doses = 16 injection events (though TB-500 days can be combined into the same session as BPC-157).
Sample Calendar: GH Stack (Ipamorelin + CJC-1295 no DAC)
This stack requires fasted dosing, which shapes the entire daily schedule:
| Time | What to Inject | Fasting Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| 6:30 AM (fasted) | Ipamorelin 200 mcg + CJC-1295 100 mcg | No food for 2+ hours before; wait 20-30 min after |
| 7:00 AM | Breakfast | — |
| 10:00 PM (before bed) | Ipamorelin 200 mcg + CJC-1295 100 mcg | No food for 2+ hours before injection |
This schedule repeats every day. The before-bed dose amplifies the natural growth hormone pulse that occurs during deep sleep. Make sure dinner is finished by 8:00 PM at the latest to ensure the 2-hour fasting window.
Sample Calendar: Weight Loss + Healing (Semaglutide + BPC-157)
This combination addresses two goals simultaneously — metabolic support and tissue recovery:
| Day | Morning | Evening | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | BPC-157 250 mcg + Semaglutide (weekly dose) | BPC-157 250 mcg | Semaglutide injection day |
| Tuesday | BPC-157 250 mcg | BPC-157 250 mcg | |
| Wednesday | BPC-157 250 mcg | BPC-157 250 mcg | |
| Thursday | BPC-157 250 mcg | BPC-157 250 mcg | |
| Friday | BPC-157 250 mcg | BPC-157 250 mcg | |
| Saturday | BPC-157 250 mcg | BPC-157 250 mcg | |
| Sunday | BPC-157 250 mcg | BPC-157 250 mcg |
Semaglutide is injected once per week on the same day. BPC-157 continues daily. The two compounds do not interact — there are no timing conflicts or food restrictions to navigate between them. Use the semaglutide dosage calculator to get your exact weekly syringe units at each titration level.
Building Your Own Calendar: Step by Step
If you are running a custom combination not covered above, follow this process:
- List every compound you will be using, along with its dose and frequency
- Identify timing constraints. Which peptides must be taken fasted? Which have no restrictions? Group the fasted peptides together at fasting-friendly times (early morning, before bed)
- Assign weekly injection days. For compounds dosed less than daily (TB-500, semaglutide), pick fixed days and stick to them. Space them evenly through the week
- Map it onto a 7-day grid. Write out each day with morning and evening columns. Fill in every compound for every time slot
- Calculate vial depletion for each compound. Different compounds will run out at different times — note when each vial needs to be replaced
- Enter your protocol into the Daily Dose Tracker so you have a digital record that alerts you to upcoming doses and tracks vial usage automatically
Common Scheduling Mistakes
These are the errors that come up most often when running multiple peptides:
1. Eating Before GH Peptide Doses
If your stack includes ipamorelin, CJC-1295, or other GH secretagogues, the fasting window is non-negotiable. Plan your meal schedule around your injection times, not the other way around. The easiest approach is to inject first thing in the morning before eating and again before bed at least 2 hours after dinner.
2. Stacking Too Many Injections at Once
If you are running three compounds and two of them happen to fall on the same day, you do not have to inject all three in the same session. Spread them out if the timing allows. Two injection sessions per day (morning and evening) is manageable. Three or more starts to feel burdensome and increases the chance of skipping.
3. Forgetting Weekly Compounds
Daily peptides become habitual quickly. Weekly peptides like semaglutide or twice-weekly compounds like TB-500 are easier to forget because they do not happen every day. This is where a tracker or calendar alert provides the most value — it catches the doses that are not part of your daily routine.
4. Not Tracking Vials Separately
When running three compounds, you have three vials with three different reconstitution dates and three different depletion rates. One vial might last 10 days while another lasts 10 weeks. Track each one independently so you know exactly when to reconstitute or reorder each compound.
Using the Daily Tracker to Manage Your Calendar
The DosageTools Daily Dose Tracker is built specifically for multi-compound peptide protocols. Here is how it helps manage a complex schedule:
- Add each compound separately with its own dose, frequency, and vial information
- See today's schedule at a glance — the tracker shows which compounds are due today and whether you have already logged them
- Track vial usage independently for each compound, so you know when each vial needs replacement
- Log each injection with one tap — compound, dose, site, and timestamp are captured in seconds
- Review your weekly adherence to see if you missed any doses across any compound
Combine the tracker with the reconstitution calculator to set up each vial and the dosage calculator to confirm your syringe units for every compound in your stack. The calculators handle the math; the tracker handles the schedule.
