Comprehensive Peptide and Supplement Stack for Muscle Dysfunction and Mitochondrial Disorders
Dr. Yurth outlines a comprehensive stacking protocol for patients with muscular dystrophy, sarcopenia, fatigue, or difficulty building muscle. The core stack includes: creatine at 10 grams per day, CoQ10 with geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) for mitochondrial support, SS-31 (elamipretide), urolithin A, and exogenous ketones. She notes growth hormone secretagogues (CJC, ipamorelin, tesamorelin, ibutamoren) and IGF-1 LR3 as additions for more severe cases, and BPC-157 for angiogenesis and muscle support. This stack is presented as applicable broadly to anyone struggling to build muscle or experiencing fatigue.
Ibutamoren (Epimorelin) Listed as a Mitochondrial Peptide
In the context of discussing peptides for muscular dystrophy and mitochondrial dysfunction, Dr. Yurth specifically refers to ibutamoren (epimorelin/MK-677) as 'another mitochondrial peptide,' suggesting it has relevance beyond just GH secretion. This is a brief but distinct categorization. No dosage is specified.
Growth Hormone Secretagogues (CJC, Ipamorelin, Tesamorelin, Ibutamoren) as Adjuncts for Muscle Building
Dr. Yurth lists growth hormone secretagogues — CJC, ipamorelin, tesamorelin, and ibutamoren (epimorelin) — as high-value adjuncts in a muscle-building protocol for patients with muscular dystrophy or sarcopenia. These are described as supporting the broader mitochondrial and anabolic environment needed for muscle growth. No specific dosages are provided for these agents in this context.
