Venus Protocol vs Ascension Stack
QSC offers two curated peptide stacks designed for different research populations. Here's how they differ and which is appropriate for your research goals.
Side-by-Side
| Feature | Venus Protocol | Ascension Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Target | Women's health | Men's looksmaxxing |
| Compounds | 10 | 12 |
| Vials | 100 | 110 + 100 tablets |
| Pathways | 6 | 8 |
| Androgens | None | Testosterone Cypionate + Anavar |
| Sexual Wellness | PT-141 (female HSDD) | None |
| Longevity | NAD+ + Epitalon (telomerase) | NAD+ only |
| Metabolic | Retatrutide (triple GLP-1/GIP/GCGR) | Retatrutide (triple-agonist) |
| GH Axis | CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin (gentle) | HGH + IGF-1 LR3 + CJC-1295 (aggressive) |
| Tanning | None | Melanotan II |
| Form | All lyophilized | 10 lyophilized + 1 oil + 1 oral |
Key Differences
The Venus Protocol prioritizes safety and tolerability — using FDA-approved semaglutide instead of the more aggressive retatrutide, gentle GH secretagogues instead of direct HGH injection, and zero androgens. It adds PT-141 for female sexual wellness and Epitalon for telomere longevity — compounds not in the Ascension Stack.
The Ascension Stack prioritizes maximum transformation — using the most potent metabolic compound (retatrutide triple-agonist), direct HGH plus two downstream amplifiers, tanning peptide, and androgenic/anabolic compounds for body recomposition and lean tissue accrual.
Both stacks share: GHK-Cu for collagen, NAD+ for cellular energy, BPC-157 + TB-500 for recovery, L-Glutathione for antioxidant protection, and CJC-1295 No DAC for GH secretagogue support.
