Clavmaxxing and the clavstack

Clavmaxxing is the practice of researching the clavstack, and the clavstack is four specific research peptides — Retatrutide, BPC-157, TB-500, and CJC-1295 No DAC. Both words are community coinages rather than official product names, which is why they get used loosely and why this page pins down what each one actually refers to. The clavstack is not a bundle, not a recommended sequence, and not a dosing guide; every compound in it is sold as its own SKU and reaches a researcher one vial at a time. What follows defines both terms, explains why these particular four compounds are grouped, works through each one at the receptor level, and lays out how the price ladder falls when all four land on a single order page.

What clavmaxxing means

Clavmaxxing is the community term for running the clavstack — the four research peptides most associated with Clavicular's publicly discussed protocol. It follows the same construction as the other coined maxxing terms in this catalogue (cutmaxxing, healmaxxing, bulkmaxxing), except those describe a goal and this one describes a source. Someone clavmaxxing is not pursuing a distinct outcome; they are researching a specific named grouping of compounds.

That distinction matters because it sets the boundary of the term. Clavmaxxing does not imply a dose, a cycle length, an order of operations, or a result. It describes which vials are on the bench and nothing beyond that. The word travels well in discussion precisely because it compresses a four-compound list into one token — but the compression is descriptive shorthand, not a protocol anyone publishes or endorses.

Definition

What the clavstack contains

The clavstack is four compounds spread across three catalogue categories. Retatrutide sits under Cutmaxxing because its mechanism is metabolic — triple-agonist action on GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. BPC-157 and TB-500 both sit under Healmaxxing because both are tissue-repair peptides that appear together in published research on muscle, tendon, and gut barrier work. CJC-1295 No DAC sits under Bulkmaxxing because GHRH receptor activation affects pituitary growth-hormone release rather than fat metabolism or tissue repair directly.

That spread is the whole logic of the grouping. The clavstack covers three separate reasons a researcher comes to the catalogue without any two compounds overlapping, which is why the four cluster in public discussion instead of being argued over as alternatives. Someone clavmaxxing across all four is not paying twice for the same effect class; someone running only two is making a choice about which mechanism to prioritise first. Neither arrangement constitutes a recommended sequence or dose — it is simply how the four compounds' catalogue positions fall.

One at a time

The four clavstack compounds

01 · Metabolic line

Retatrutide 15mg

Triple GLP-1 / GIP / glucagon receptor agonist

Category: Cutmaxxing

Retatrutide is the metabolic line of the clavstack and the reason the four compounds are usually discussed as one group. It acts on three receptors — GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon — rather than the single GLP-1 target older agonists rely on, which is why it sits in the Cutmaxxing category on its own rather than alongside the recovery pair. The 15 mg vial is the smallest of the three published sizes on the supplier's listing; the heavier sizes (20 mg, 30 mg) cost less per milligram and tend to be what researchers move to after the entry vial. Because this line carries the largest share of the clavstack total on its own, it is the compound most often ordered separately first when someone is clavmaxxing to a budget.

02 · Recovery line

BPC-157 10mg

15-amino-acid pentadecapeptide (Body Protection Compound-157)

Category: Healmaxxing

BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-amino-acid sequence derived from a gastric protein. It sits in the Healmaxxing category and is almost always grouped with TB-500 — the two share a category, share a price band, and share a research literature for tissue repair. At the lowest per-vial price of the four it is the cheapest entry point into the clavstack, which is why it is usually the first vial added to a small recovery-focused order. The sequence is short enough to be relatively cheap to synthesise, which keeps the catalogue price down even as supply tightens on longer compounds.

03 · Recovery line

TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) 10mg

Thymosin Beta-4 fragment (Ac-LKKTETQ active region)

Category: Healmaxxing

TB-500 is a synthetic fragment built around the active region of Thymosin Beta-4. It shares the Healmaxxing category with BPC-157 and is priced identically, so the two read as a matched pair on the order page rather than two separate purchase decisions. Researchers who want the recovery half of the clavstack without taking on the metabolic or growth-hormone lines usually buy these two and stop there, which makes the recovery pair the most common partial clavstack order by a wide margin.

04 · Growth-hormone-axis line

CJC-1295 No DAC 10mg

GHRH analog, no Drug Affinity Complex (short half-life variant)

Category: Bulkmaxxing

CJC-1295 No DAC is a growth-hormone-releasing-hormone (GHRH) analog and the fourth line of the clavstack. The "No DAC" designation marks the variant without the Drug Affinity Complex modification — a distinct SKU from the DAC version, with a shorter half-life and a different research dosing pattern. It sits in the Bulkmaxxing category on its own and is the mid-priced line of the four, between the cheap recovery pair and Retatrutide. If you specifically need the DAC variant, confirm it on the listing before ordering, because this page references the No DAC line throughout.

Common questions

Clavmaxxing questions people ask

What is clavmaxxing?

Clavmaxxing is the community term for running the clavstack — the four research peptides most associated with Clavicular's publicly discussed protocol. It is a descriptive label for a compound grouping, not a branded programme, a bundle, or a dosing schedule. Someone described as clavmaxxing is researching some or all of Retatrutide, BPC-157, TB-500, and CJC-1295 No DAC.

What is the clavstack?

The clavstack is the four-compound grouping at the centre of clavmaxxing: Retatrutide (metabolic), BPC-157 and TB-500 (recovery), and CJC-1295 No DAC (growth-hormone axis). The four are not sold together as a bundle — each is its own SKU and reaches a researcher one vial at a time. The grouping is descriptive, reflecting how the compounds are discussed together in public.

What compounds are in the clavstack?

Four: Retatrutide 15 mg, BPC-157 10 mg, TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) 10 mg, and CJC-1295 No DAC 10 mg. They span three catalogue categories — Cutmaxxing, Healmaxxing, and Bulkmaxxing — because the four cover three separate mechanisms rather than overlapping on one.

Do you have to run all four compounds to be clavmaxxing?

No. The most common partial clavstack is the recovery pair, BPC-157 and TB-500, because the two share a category and a price band. Each compound is a separate purchase decision, and ordering two rather than four is a choice about which mechanism to prioritise first — not an incomplete version of a fixed protocol.
