Which peptides would you prioritize purely for athletic performance and endurance?

Curious what this community would reach for if the only goal was improving fitness and stamina for sports — not body composition, not recovery per se, just raw performance and endurance gains.

I've been leaning toward Ipamorelin combined with CJC-1295 as my starting point, but I'd love to hear what others have actually found useful or would choose in this situation.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer here — your age, weight, body composition, and hormone levels all matter way more than just picking a peptide off a list. If you're over 40, mitochondrial support might be worth looking into, and if you're carrying extra body fat or dealing with insulin resistance, tackling that first will do more for your performance than any peptide stack. Get your bloodwork done and figure out what's actually going on with your body, because fixing those underlying issues will move the needle far more than anything else.

What sports are you actually training for?

Honestly, ASICS or Brooks would be my go-to recommendations for that.

Honestly HGH itself beats out the secretagogues for recovery purposes, but don't expect much from it on the endurance side. For that you're better off looking into the mitochondrial peptides — SS31, MOTS-c, or NAD+ are the ones worth researching.

MOTS-c would be my top pick for this — the mitochondrial and metabolic benefits make it stand out for endurance specifically.
