Multi-compound protocols: how to use the Cycle Planner

The Cycle Planner is the calculator you reach for when a research protocol uses more than one compound at the same time. It models phases, ramps, frequency, and consumption — so you can see total mg, vial count, and cost before the cycle starts, not after you run out mid-week.

The core idea: compounds, phases, ramps

A compound is one substance — BPC-157, CJC+Ipamorelin, etc. Each compound holds one or more phases. A phase is a window of time where the dose and frequency are constant. You add a new phase when something changes mid-cycle (drop the dose, increase frequency, take a break).

The ramp tools let you generate a step-up or step-down across multiple phases automatically — instead of building each phase by hand, you set “go from 250 mcg to 500 mcg over 4 weeks in 50 mcg increments” and the planner fills it in.

Walkthrough

1. Add your first compound from the dropdown. The planner knows the standard vial sizes for BPC-157, GHK-Cu, Retatrutide, CJC+Ipa, and the other compounds we ship — they auto-populate cost and vial-mg fields.
2. Set phase 1: dose, unit, doses per week, phase length in weeks. The default is one phase that runs the entire cycle.
3. Add a phase if you want to change protocol mid-cycle. Click “add phase” and a second row appears below the first, picking up where the previous ended.
4. Use the ramp bar for incremental loading or tapering. Set start dose, end dose, weeks, step size — click “ramp up” or “ramp down” and the planner generates the phases for you.
5. Add another compound if you’re stacking. Each compound runs in parallel against the same calendar.

Three timeline views

Switch between Weekly / Monthly / Annual via the tabs above the timeline. Each view answers a different question:

• Weekly — graph-like bars showing daily dose totals across one week. Best for protocols with day-specific scheduling (Mon/Wed/Fri vs. daily).
• Monthly — SVG flow chart showing each compound’s activity over a 30-day window. Best for seeing overlap and gaps.
• Annual — same flow, full year. Best for long-term cycles or off-time planning.

What the stats panel tells you

Below the timeline, the cycle stats grid shows the numbers that matter for procurement:

• Total mg consumed across the cycle, per compound and overall.
• Vials needed — rounded up from total mg ÷ vial mg.
• Estimated cost at our list prices (bulk discounts may apply).
• Per-week breakdown bars so you can see when consumption peaks.

Math behind the numbers

• per_week_dose = phase_dose × unit_to_mg × doses_per_week
• total_mg = Σ (per_week_dose × phase_length_weeks)
• vials = ⌈total_mg ÷ vial_mg⌉
