The four programs: what you are actually buying when you buy one

A program is the least understood thing we sell, and the easiest to explain: it is the manufacturer’s own multi-month protocol, sold as the set of pens that protocol calls for. Nordic Peptides publish the composition, the duration and the number of pens each cycle consumes. We price the set and ship it as one order.

This page is what is in each of the four, and — more usefully — how uneven the evidence under them is.

What a program is, mechanically

Three things distinguish it from a basket you assemble yourself.

The pen count is the manufacturer’s, not our estimate. For the 45-day Peptide Program for Recovery and Immunity, for example, Nordic publish exactly what the cycle consumes: three BPC-157 + TB-500 blend pens, two Ipamorelin, three Thymalin. You are not guessing how much to buy.

The price is derived, never set by hand. A program’s price is the sum of its component prices minus a fixed 10%, rounded down to a nine ending. That rule lives in the pricing script rather than in anyone’s judgement, which has one useful consequence: a program cannot drift above the cost of buying the same pens separately. Each program page shows the separate-purchase total next to it so you can check.

It is one order, so it is one delivery fee. Our fulfillment & delivery fee is flat and per order, not per item — a four-month set of a dozen pens carries the same single fee as one pen. On a program that is the larger part of the saving.

Where a program offers alternative packages, the price shown is for the entry package; the others are quoted by email.

The four

Recovery and Immunity — 45 days. BPC-157 + TB-500 blend, Ipamorelin, Thymalin. The shortest of the four and the only one under two months.

Weight Loss and Fat Burning — 4 to 6 months. Semaglutide, Ipamorelin, CJC-1295 No DAC. Semaglutide runs for the first five weeks only; the other two run throughout.

Muscle Mass — 4 to 6 months, and the only one sold in three alternative packages:

• Increased Muscle Mass: GHRP-6, IGF-1 LR3, Follistatin 344
• Lean Muscle Mass: Ipamorelin, CJC-1295 No DAC, PEG-MGF
• Muscle Mass and Definition: CJC-1295 No DAC, Ipamorelin, HGH Frag 176-191

Anti Aging — 4 to 6 months. Epitalon, NAD+, Skin Glow (GHK-Cu).

The dosing schedule for each is the manufacturer’s own and is printed on the product page in their words. We do not write protocols and we do not summarise theirs here.

Now the part that matters: the evidence is not evenly distributed

No program has been tested as a program. Not one of the four has been through a trial as a combination. What exists is a file per component, and those files are wildly different in strength. If you are choosing between programs, this — not the marketing copy — is the thing to choose on.

Weight Loss is the strongest by a distance. Semaglutide is the only component in any of the four with a phase 3 programme and a regulatory approval behind it; the STEP trials are real, large and published, and the GLP-1 line as a whole is the best-evidenced category in this catalog. The two secretagogues alongside it are not in that class — CJC-1295 and ipamorelin have a much thinner human file.

Recovery and Immunity is mixed, and interesting for it. BPC-157 and TB-500 are the most-requested pairing we sell; the honest headline from the 2025 systematic review is 35 preclinical studies and 1 clinical study, and thymosin β4’s genuine randomised trials were ophthalmic, on the full protein, applied topically. Thymalin has its own, older literature.

Anti Aging rests mostly on one good component. GHK-Cu has real dermatological work behind it; on the NAD line, the human trial tested a precursor rather than the coenzyme, which is a distinction worth understanding before you buy a pen of it.

Muscle Mass is the weakest of the four, and we would rather say so. IGF-1 LR3 and PEG MGF are the clearest case on the whole desk of names outrunning evidence — PEG-MGF has no study anywhere in which it was administered to anything, and the human MGF papers measure a gene switching on rather than a peptide going in. HGH Frag 176-191 has a good obese-mouse programme and no indexed randomised human trial. GHRP-6 is better characterised than either.

Two more things before you decide

A program cannot tell you which component did what. That is the same trade every blend makes, multiplied by three, and stretched over four months. If attribution is the point of your work, buy the components separately and run them apart — our page on blends sets out the trade in full.

Several components are prohibited in sport. Growth hormone secretagogues sit under S2.2.4 of the WADA list, IGF-1 and mechano growth factors under S2.3. Anyone in tested sport should read a program’s composition as a list of positives waiting to happen.

What we supply

The four Nordic Peptides programs — Recovery and Immunity, Weight Loss and Fat Burning, Muscle Mass and Anti Aging — shipped as the manufacturer’s own sealed pens, tracked, from inside the EU, batch documentation on request. If you are not sure which shelf you are on, start here.

Research use only — not for human or veterinary use, and nothing here is medical advice.
