Taper Schedule Generator
Step, linear, or geometric. Titrate up (GLP-1, retatrutide) or cycle down (MK-677, hexarelin) — pick a curve, hit go, get a copy-pasteable schedule.
📉 Taper Schedule Generator
Generate a step, linear, or geometric taper for any protocol. Works for ramp-up (titration) and ramp-down (cycling off).
| Step | Window | Ipamorelin + Tesamorelin Blend dose | Bar |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Days 1–7 | 1200 mcg | |
| 2 | Days 8–14 | 800 mcg | |
| 3 | Days 15–21 | 400 mcg | |
| 4 | Days 22–28 | 0 mcg |
Frequently asked questions
When should I taper a peptide?+
Two common scenarios. (1) Titration up — GLP-1s and retatrutide use 4-week step-ups to manage GI side effects. (2) Cycling off — for compounds with HPA-axis or receptor-desensitization concerns (e.g., MK-677, hexarelin), a step-down can soften the rebound.
What is the difference between linear, step, and geometric tapers?+
Linear distributes dose evenly across the window. Step rounds each step to a clean 25 mcg increment for easier syringe draws. Geometric reduces (or increases) by a constant ratio — better for large dose ranges where the absolute step size matters more at the top than the bottom.
How long should a peptide taper be?+
Common windows: GLP-1 titration uses 4 weeks per step over 16–20 weeks. Recovery peptide cycle-offs are usually 1–2 weeks. There is no universal rule — match the taper to the compound's half-life and the receptor it engages.
