Triptorelin
Summary
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells that declines dramatically with age. It is critical for energy metabolism, DNA repair, and sirtuin activation. IV and subcutaneous NAD+ supplementation is used in anti-aging protocols and addiction recovery programs.
Triptorelin is a synthetic decapeptide analog of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) with 100x the potency of native GnRH. An FDA-approved drug (Trelstar) for prostate cancer and precocious puberty, it is also used in post-cycle therapy (PCT) to rapidly restart the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis after anabolic steroid suppression.
Half-Life
Varies by route; IV provides direct cellular delivery
Depot forms: weeks to months; aqueous: 6-8 hours
Admin Route

Key Benefits
  • Restored cellular energy production (ATP)
  • Sirtuin activation for longevity and metabolic regulation
  • Enhanced DNA repair capacity
  • Improved mitochondrial function and biogenesis
  • Cognitive clarity and mental energy
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Addiction withdrawal support (opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines)
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Enhanced athletic endurance
  • Rapid HPG axis restart after steroid use
  • Single-injection PCT protocol possible
  • Massively elevates LH and FSH via flare effect
  • Restores endogenous testosterone faster than traditional PCT
  • FDA-approved for established medical uses
Side Effects
  • Flushing and warmth during IV infusion
  • Nausea during rapid IV administration
  • Chest tightness (from rapid infusion — slow the rate)
  • Injection site irritation (subcutaneous)
  • +1 more
  • Initial testosterone flare (intended)
  • Injection site reactions
  • Hot flashes (with chronic use)
  • Decreased libido (chronic dosing)
