Before You Start
This quiz matches your self-reported goals and situation to our five evidence-based hormone stacks. It takes about 2-3 minutes. Your results include the recommended stack, key compounds with starting doses, required bloodwork, and a link to the full protocol guide. No email required. No data stored.

About the Five Stacks
HormoneStacks organizes the complex world of hormone optimization into five goal-oriented protocols. Each stack is a curated combination of compounds, dosing schedules, and monitoring requirements designed to achieve a specific outcome. They are not mutually exclusive - many men run elements of two or three stacks simultaneously under medical supervision.
The Longevity Stack
Designed for men who want to age slower at the cellular level. This stack combines physiologic-dose TRT (enough to maintain optimal levels, not supraphysiological), peptides that support telomere maintenance and cellular repair (Epitalon, GHK-Cu), and GH secretagogues for overnight growth hormone release. The goal is not to look 25 at 50, but to maintain metabolic health, cognitive function, cardiovascular fitness, and musculoskeletal integrity as the decades accumulate.
The Injury Repair Stack
Built for active men dealing with tendon, ligament, muscle, or joint injuries. BPC-157 and TB-500 are the cornerstone healing peptides, supported by GH secretagogues to elevate IGF-1 and accelerate tissue remodeling. This stack is typically run for 4-12 week cycles during active recovery, not indefinitely. Many men cycle this stack alongside their baseline TRT protocol when injuries occur.
The Physique and Metabolic Stack
For men whose primary goal is body composition: more lean mass, less body fat. TRT provides the androgenic foundation, Tesamorelin targets visceral fat through GH-mediated lipolysis, and GH secretagogues support muscle protein synthesis and recovery. Some protocols include GLP-1 receptor agonists for appetite regulation and metabolic improvement, particularly for men starting with higher body fat percentages.
The Cognitive and Brain Stack
Targeting neuroprotection, memory, focus, and mental resilience. This stack uses neuropeptides (Semax, Selank) and neurotrophic agents (Cerebrolysin) that support BDNF production, reduce neuroinflammation, and enhance synaptic plasticity. Particularly relevant for men in their 40s and 50s experiencing age-related cognitive decline, brain fog, or high-stress cognitive demands.
The Fertility Stack
Essential for men on TRT who need to preserve or restore reproductive function. Exogenous testosterone suppresses the HPT axis, reducing LH, FSH, and intratesticular testosterone - all of which are required for spermatogenesis. HCG maintains testicular function and intratesticular testosterone, Enclomiphene stimulates LH and FSH release from the pituitary, and HMG provides direct gonadotropin support when needed. This stack can be run concurrently with TRT or as part of a fertility recovery protocol.
Important Notes
No quiz can replace a thorough medical evaluation. Your hormone protocol should be individualized based on comprehensive bloodwork, medical history, current medications, and clinical symptoms. This quiz is a starting point for conversation with your provider, not an endpoint for treatment decisions.
