The TRIAD stack by Kovagen brings together tesamorelin, retatrutide, ipamorelin, the metabolic blend and DSIP, with BAC water included. Five separate products for laboratory research.

TRIAD stands for Tesamorelin, Retatrutide, Ipamorelin, Amino-1MQ and DSIP. Five components spanning metabolic research, body composition, growth-hormone signaling and sleep research — four areas that are usually studied one at a time.
TVisceral fat + body composition
THE VISCERAL-FAT COMPONENT
Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin is a growth-hormone-releasing hormone analog studied for its effects on the GH/IGF-1 axis and visceral adipose tissue.
Visceral adipose tissue
GH/IGF-1 axis
Fat distribution
An FDA-approved tesamorelin medicine reduces excess abdominal fat in adults with HIV-associated lipodystrophy. That approval does not extend to these research vials or general weight-loss use.
Ipamorelin is a growth-hormone secretagogue. Human pharmacology research has measured a growth-hormone response following administration.
GH release
Secretagogue research
Endocrine signaling
A measured growth-hormone response does not establish improvements in sleep, recovery or body composition. Human evidence for these applications is limited.
The Metabolic blend supplies 5-Amino-1MQ alongside NAD+ and MOTS-c. 5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule studied as an NNMT inhibitor in metabolic research, and it is not a peptide.
5-Amino-1MQ
NAD+
MOTS-c
5-Amino-1MQ evidence is preclinical. NNMT inhibition has not been shown to produce metabolic outcomes in people, and the three components arrive in one vial.
DSIP — delta sleep-inducing peptide — is a neuropeptide that has been studied in sleep and neuroendocrine research since the 1970s.
Sleep architecture
Neuropeptide research
Neuroendocrine
The DSIP literature is old, small and methodologically inconsistent. Sleep effects have not been established, and this material is not a sleep aid or a treatment for any sleep disorder.
Four research areas, four very different literatures.
The value of a stack like this is coverage, not equivalence. These components are not at the same stage of research, and the page should say so plainly.
Tesamorelin
An approved medicine exists for one specific indication. These research vials are not that medicine.
Approved elsewhere
Retatrutide
Phase 3 trial data in obesity and metabolic disease. Investigational, not FDA approved.
Phase 3
Ipamorelin
Human pharmacology research has measured a growth-hormone response.
Human pharmacology
5-Amino-1MQ
A small molecule NNMT inhibitor inside the Metabolic blend. Preclinical.
Preclinical
DSIP
Old, small studies with inconsistent methods. Sleep effects are not established.
Inconclusive
Breadth is not depth. Covering four research areas in one collection does not mean any of these components has been studied alongside the others, and the combination has not been studied at all.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Beyond a single research pathway.
Your supplied collection covers four research areas at once, with every component listed clearly and BAC water already included.
01
Metabolic research
Retatrutide
Triple-receptor agonism, appetite and energy balance.
02
Body composition
Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin
Growth-hormone signaling and visceral fat distribution.
03
Cellular metabolism
Metabolic blend
5-Amino-1MQ, NAD+ and MOTS-c in one vial.
04
Sleep research
DSIP
A neuropeptide with a long, unresolved research history.
One vial each of tesamorelin, retatrutide, ipamorelin, DSIP and the Metabolic blend, plus one vial of BAC water. The Metabolic blend contains 5-Amino-1MQ, NAD+ and MOTS-c. Exact sizes and individual prices are shown in the stack builder.
Why is DSIP in a metabolic stack?+
It is not metabolic — it is the sleep-research arm. TRIAD is deliberately a wide collection rather than a narrow one, and DSIP is the component that carries the sleep and neuroendocrine literature. If you want a metabolic-only collection, TRIM is the four-component body-composition stack.
Can I choose my vial sizes?+
Yes. Where the catalog offers more than one size, choose your preferred option in the stack builder. The total updates immediately, and each click adds one vial of each selected product.
Is this a subscription or a premixed product?+
Neither. TRIAD is a one-time purchase of separate products, with no recurring subscription. The Metabolic blend is one blended vial; every other component is supplied separately, and each line stays editable in your cart.
Has the TRIAD combination been clinically tested?+
No. The combination has not been evaluated in clinical trials. Every component in this stack is supported by a different literature, at a different stage, and none of it describes the combination.
Where can I find the certificates and shipping details?+
Each peptide’s product page links to its published batch certificates, and the Certificates library covers every released batch. U.S. orders ship with FedEx 2Day after dispatch; shipping to Canada uses FedEx International. Final shipping and applicable taxes are shown at checkout.
TRIAD is a collection of separate research compounds. The combination itself has not been evaluated in clinical trials. Retatrutide remains investigational and is not FDA approved. Tesamorelin is FDA approved as a medicine for one specific indication unrelated to general weight-loss management; Kovagen’s research material is not that approved medicine. 5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule supplied inside the Metabolic blend, not a peptide. Evidence for ipamorelin is limited to human pharmacology research, DSIP evidence is old and inconclusive, and MOTS-c research is largely preclinical.
