Current Compound Stack

The exact compounds, doses, and timing I'm running right now.

A snapshot of what I'm taking right now and how I'm taking it. Mostly stack — doses and timing, plus quick notes on what's rotated in or out since the last revision.

Caution — I run this under medical supervision. Doses, frequencies, and combinations should be worked out with a qualified clinician. Sharing what I do isn't a recommendation that you do the same.

Current stack

Testosterone

Note — 150 mg weekly, split across Monday and Thursday injections. My natural levels are clinically low — this brings me back into an optimal range.

HCG

Note — 250 IU, dosed Monday / Wednesday / Friday. Supports my testosterone protocol by helping control estrogen and protecting fertility.

Modafinil

Note — 100 mg each working day, taken in the morning. Sustained focus across long deep-work blocks.

Note — Currently testing. Running it for the tan, and the results on that front are solid. One side effect worth knowing about: blemishes — new freckles, mostly — which I'm told fade once you stop running it. The libido boost is a secondary benefit I've come to appreciate.

Recently cycled out

Pinealon

Ran it as a short sleep-quality cycle and enjoyed the experiment, but I found no major impact I could attribute to it. Out of the stack for now.

Things I rotate through

Outside the core stack, I experiment. Ketones for cognitive runway on heavy days, Russian nootropics like the racetam family (piracetam, phenylpiracetam, noopept and friends), and the occasional one-off compound I want to evaluate for myself. Most don't earn a permanent slot — but the ones that do end up here.

On my list to try

HGH

Longevity. Haven't started it yet.

That's the current stack. I'll revisit when something changes.
