Peptide tracker FDA-approved (Egrifta SV)

Tesamorelin tracker
for iPhone.

Tesamorelin is the prescription end of the GHRH family — FDA-approved as Egrifta for HIV-related visceral fat reduction, then borrowed into longevity and body-recomposition self-protocols. The cadence is daily, the math is unfussy, and the discipline is "actually do it every night for twelve weeks." Peptide Protocol sits in the middle of that loop and keeps the streak honest.

ClassGHRH analog
Brand names / aliasesEgrifta, Egrifta SV
Regulatory statusFDA-approved (Egrifta SV)
Evidence levelOfficial label
Plasma half-lifeShort — minutes range per Egrifta SV label.
Approved presentationEgrifta SV: 2 mg vial powder, reconstituted with the supplied diluent per label. Older Egrifta product differs.
Dose initiationEgrifta SV: 1.4 mg once daily SC. Approved indication: HIV-associated lipodystrophy (excess abdominal fat).
EscalationNo escalation; fixed daily dose per label.
Side-effect notesRaises IGF-1; not appropriate as a generic anti-aging GH substitute. Hyperglycemia, injection-site reactions, fluid retention per label.
Key caveatEgrifta SV (1.4 mg/day) and the older Egrifta product use different presets — do not mix the two. Off-label use beyond the HIV-associated lipodystrophy indication is a clinical decision, not an app-driven one.

Built around Tesamorelin protocols

Three things daily GHRH protocols actually need.

Daily streak that survives travel

12-week protocols don't survive forgotten doses. The Today screen shows tonight's dose and the streak count; iCloud-free local storage means the data is on the device that's with you, not in a cloud you have to log into.

Vial-friendly math

The Egrifta SV preset (2 mg vial, supplied diluent, 1.4 mg label dose once daily) is built in. The calculator displays the unit count cleanly and flags when you're near the syringe's max volume. Override the default for older Egrifta, compounded vials, or off-label concentrations.

Body-comp insights

Daily check-ins capture weight and waist measurement (the metric the FDA trial used). The Insights tab charts trend over the cycle so the visceral-fat hypothesis you started with can be checked against real numbers.

Tesamorelin tracking — common questions

Does Peptide Protocol have a Tesamorelin preset?

Yes — Tesamorelin is a calculator preset, with a sensible default for the FDA-approved Egrifta SV product (2 mg vial reconstituted with the supplied diluent, label dose 1.4 mg once daily SC). If you're running a different presentation (older Egrifta, compounded vial, or a different concentration), you can override the defaults with your own vial mass and BAC water volume.

Tesamorelin or CJC-1295 — which one fits in the app?

Both. They're both GHRH analogs but Tesamorelin is the FDA-approved one (for HIV-related lipodystrophy under brand name Egrifta), short-acting like Mod GRF, and used daily. CJC-1295 with DAC is long-acting, weekly. The protocol-builder handles either: pick the compound and the cadence follows.

Can I stack Tesamorelin with Ipamorelin?

Yes. Tesamorelin (GHRH) plus Ipamorelin (GHRP) is a common alternative to the CJC / Ipa blend. Run them as parallel protocols — one daily, one nightly with whatever timing you've chosen — and the Today screen surfaces both. Calculator math for each runs independently, so no cross-contamination.
