These are ranked based on how high they boost test. (Again, according to chatgpt)
1. Gonadorelin
Why: As a synthetic GnRH, gonadorelin directly stimulates the pituitary to release luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which in turn drive testosterone synthesis in the testes. This direct mechanism makes it the most potent in terms of testosterone boost.
Side Effects: Generally mild (e.g., headaches, abdominal discomfort, or injection site reactions).
2. TVS167
Why: Although experimental and primarily preclinical (with promising data in animal models), TVS167 is a novel fusion peptide designed to target mitochondrial pathways in testicular cells to boost testosterone production. If effective in humans, its direct action could rival or exceed other indirect methods.
Side Effects: Limited human data means its side effect profile isn’t fully established, but preclinical findings suggest tolerability.
3. CJC-1295
Why: This long-acting GHRH analog increases growth hormone (GH) and subsequently IGF-1 levels, which can support testosterone production indirectly. Its sustained release may provide a more robust hormonal milieu compared to shorter-acting analogs.
Side Effects: Possibilities include injection site reactions, mild water retention, or flu-like symptoms.
4. Sermorelin
Why: As a shorter-acting analog of GHRH, sermorelin also raises GH (and thus IGF-1), supporting testosterone production indirectly. However, its shorter duration of action may result in a slightly lower overall testosterone boost compared to CJC-1295.
Side Effects: Mild injection site reactions, headaches, or flushing.
5. Ipamorelin
Why: Another GH secretagogue, ipamorelin increases GH levels with minimal effects on cortisol or prolactin. Its impact on testosterone is generally less pronounced compared to the above compounds since its primary target is GH rather than the reproductive axis.
Side Effects: Usually very mild, such as slight headaches or dizziness.
Important Caveats:
Mechanistic Differences: Gonadorelin acts directly on the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis, while the others (CJC-1295, sermorelin, and ipamorelin) work via boosting GH/IGF-1, which may or may not translate into a strong testosterone increase in every individual.
Individual Variability: Responses vary, and clinical data—especially for experimental compounds like TVS167—are limited.
Medical Supervision: Even though these peptides are synthetic and many have minimal side effects, their use should be under strict medical supervision to tailor dosing and monitor any adverse reactions.
This ranking is based on current mechanistic understanding and available data, but definitive clinical comparisons are still sparse.
