Comparison table
| Attribute | Performance Stack | Superman Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Performance (Follistatin-344 + IGF-1 LR3 + MGF + CJC/Ipa) | Superman (CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin + MK-677) |
| Category | Popular Stacks | Popular Stacks |
| Status | Research stack | Research stack |
| Mechanism | Follistatin-344 binds and neutralizes myostatin, removing the genetic brake on muscle growth. IGF-1 LR3 activates Akt/mTOR for protein synthesis. MGF activates dormant satellite cells for muscle fiber addition. CJC-1295/Ipamorelin provides GH support for recovery and fat oxidation. | CJC-1295 (no DAC) mimics GHRH for pituitary stimulation. Ipamorelin acts as a selective ghrelin receptor agonist for GH release without cortisol/prolactin. MK-677 provides oral, long-acting ghrelin mimetic action for sustained IGF-1 elevation. |
| Molecular weight | Multiple compounds | Multiple compounds |
| Half-life | Follistatin: ~2-4h, IGF-1 LR3: ~20-30h, MGF: ~5-7min, CJC/Ipa: ~30min/2h | CJC: ~30min, Ipamorelin: ~2h, MK-677: ~24h |
| Bioavailability | All injectable: ~90-95% SC/IM | CJC/Ipa: ~95% SC, MK-677: ~60% oral |
| Typical dose | Follistatin 100mcg + IGF-1 LR3 50mcg + MGF 200mcg post-workout + CJC 100mcg/Ipa 200mcg nightly | CJC-1295 100mcg + Ipamorelin 200mcg + MK-677 25mg oral |
| Frequency | Daily/post-workout | CJC/Ipa: nightly, MK-677: daily |
| Route | Subcutaneous/Intramuscular injection | Subcutaneous + Oral |
