Alright... I'm currently taking
Tirzepatide
Tesofensine (50)
CJC DAC ( .5 MG per week once a week)
Ipamorelin (small 250 mcg 2-3 times a day)
I havent slept well in a few days and I can't figure out what it is
Just ordered a batch from PeptideSciences and was wondering if there’s any differences in where they source their peptides compared to a more reputable source like a TRT clinic or something. Have heard it’s all from China anyway?
Paranoid about injecting some bunk and harming myself more.
30 yo research subject wants to try Ipamorelin only due to muscle loss on Reta/Tirz.
This is less effective than combing with CJC no dac. However, Ive heard of severe reactions using CJC and avoidance is paramount.
What dosage and frequency of the Ipamorelin would you suggest in research to mitigate muscle loss on Reta/Glp?.
I tried drawing up multiple doses of what I needed (ghk cu, bpc 157 etc) using one syringe and I had some trouble. There would be air gaps, and it would get difficult to get it accurate.
Now I have these luer locks with removable 31g needles. My thought would be to draw up each dose individually, then inject them all into one syringe, then inject myself with a fresh needle. Not really sure what other options I have. I was using insulin syringes to withdraw and inject, and I could see some redness and swelling on the injection site. Seeing that has me wondering how to minimize the number of injections I do
Hi. My doc prescribed my Sermorelin to help with recovery from back surgery and shoulder issues.
I am doing 25 units 5 days on 2 days off. They are from a compounding pharmacy so I would expect them to be legit.
I have noticed that I have frequent headaches since starting.
Is this common? Is my dosage off?
Any suggestions on what I should do?
An adult man is capable of maximally producing 1 IU of HGH per day. So, a 35 y.o. man will produce only .3 IU per day. How many IUs will that same 35 yo produce on Sermorelin? 1 IU?
I have some Bpc-157 mixed with PEA and snac. I got it before I noticed the details about injectable being better.
Apparently, snac isn't supposed to mess with tight junctions... But how is it going to help absorption otherwise?
Description says: (orally bio-available BPC-157 (Arginine Salt) with Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and added Salcaprozate sodium (SNAC)
What is Cartalax? Does anyone know? Some websites selling it imply it’s a blend of peptides, some imply it’s a single compound. I can’t find any scientific literature on it, or any other name it might be listed under.
I've got 10 vials ordered of tirz coming and need to buy the syringes and bac water. I've been reading where bac water is only good for 28 days once opened. So most of the bac water I'm finding comes with 10 plus mls in it when I'm only going to need 1 to 2 for each vial I do, which I'd only reconstitute one vial at a time. So would I just waste all the extra bac water each time or is there a way to make it last longer?
So I’ve been sitting on a vial (powder)for about 6 months- looking for help on bacteriostatic water dilution amount and dosage on an insulin syringe. Thanks in advance.
Hi All
Im just looking for a little advise I want to take some peptides to help improve brain function and increase muscle growth, but I have no idea where to start.
The obvious seems to be Ipamorelin and CJC-1295, but what about ones for brain function? I'd like to try and improve my brain function a little bit, as I have been struggling recently. Probably not going to use the GHRP'S straight away just use the brain function ones first but I cant seem to find much on them.
What do people recommend?
Important to note I take levothyroxine daily for an underactive thyroid and am currently on monjaro (tirzepatide) hence the apprehension taking hghrp's at the moment and do gym/run/bike regularly. Oh and id rather not inject more than once per day if possible
I know can’t use cosmetic GHK-CU as injectable but what about the other way round.
Have some spare GHK-CU injectable I got very cheap and can’t be bothered ordering cosmetic GHK-CU
Has anyone gotten a headache from bpc injection? Today would be my fifth day.I'm deciding whether or not to inject, i already have a slight headache, so may as well??
Assuming I take this stuff properly as prescribed by my functional medicine doctor, are there any side effects I should be worried about? He wants me to take 10units nightly for 5 nights and then 2 days off then again for 5 nights. I’m doing it for help with some sleep issues.
Title says it all. I did a google search but couldn't find adequate information. I am wanting to convert lyophilized peptides into a usable nasal spray as I don't want to SubQ
They seem super expensive. Like $1k per cycle!
What dose and duration do you do for your cycles? Hoping I can get a reasonable cycle of each 2x/year without breaking the bank.
what cause peptides to go cloudy in the syringe when drawing and mixing two. i’ve pinned them after they have gone cloudy and clumped and never had an issue with it but what is it that causes this? all are using the same bac water things mixed that had reaction were gh and mots-c. if i mix reta with anything other than gh it clouds and clumps too
Hi I mixed some peptides for my wife. The first batch was fine. The second (a month later) has been burning on injection. I know it’s the bac water because I injected just water and it burned. I know I probably messed up and used it over 30 days after opening. Also kept it in the fridge like it says on the label but now am seeing that’s not a good idea. My question is will it ruin the peptides?
Hi Team. I had a nagging shoulder injury for three years that nothing helped -- and yet BPC/TB completely healed it. I'm not exaggerating when I say it worked like a miracle. In 48 hours I was almost pain-free. A 2-month protocol where I was getting stronger and stronger and now two months after I stopped (and healing continued) I consider it 100%.
I'm testing CJC/IPA for a little body comp stimulation even though I was doing just fine myself.
But now you've all got me wondering if there is something I can do for this constant 7/10 neck pain in my C5/6 and C6/7. I'm told that I have modest to normal dics degeneration for someone my age (42) the pain I have in my daily life is debilitating. It affects my sleep and just my overall tolerance for idiots, which used to be quite high. It affects my mobility big time.
Anyway, long story short, does anyone have any peptide recs for disc degeneration? Any advice at all about other things that have helped?
Hey all! I’m started semaglutide at a 0.25mg dose Oct 17th. After 4 weeks I went up to 0.5mg. I just started week 9 and have gone from 286-261.2! 24.8 lbs in 8 weeks!!! I’m staying at 0.5mg right now because I’m still losing weight and not having side effects. This is the most weight I’ve ever lost it feels good to look forward to seeing the difference! I’d post photos but I don’t think it’s a big enough difference you can tell lol. I’ll keep you guys updated though and post pics later!!!
Anyone with PCOS: have you switched from Tirz to Sema/Cagri due to price? I know it doesn't help as much, but did it help at least keep off the weight you have lost?
Hey everyone,
I’m 26, on TRT, and recently started HGH at 2 IU at night for recovery. Problem is, it’s giving me insomnia, and morning pins leave me lethargic. Now I’m wondering if I’m jumping the gun.
Is HGH worth running in your mid-20s, or should I wait until my 30s or 40s when natural levels decline? Should I stick with it, tweak the timing/dosage, or save it for later in life when recovery and energy start to dip more noticeably?
Training is my therapy—I do strength training 4x/week, BJJ 5x/week, and running 3x/week to keep my anxiety, depression, and ADHD in check. Recovery is key to staying consistent, so I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. What worked for you, and when did you see the best results with HGH?
Appreciate the advice!
I am in Canada and we can only get Easy Touch 31g 8mm if we get the syringe and needle separately. Links below.

It is very annoying and frustrating removing the cover from the needle. Even as a reasonably strong guy it is very annoying and very easy to break the needle. It is also not exactly a screw on but you have to push it on which leaves the feeling of it not being secure/having air bubbles. I understand why they made it like this to ensure it is sealed very tight before you can remove them plastic cover from the needle. However it is mad frustrating. The needles themselves look really nice and comfortable though.
From my local store I can buy BD 31g 6mm which feel a little more prickly on my finger tip but I haven't actually used yet. Is that a good alternative? Any experience using 31G BD vs easy touch? Is one less painful to use? Sorry if the questions are silly I am new.
Just curious if anyone has any reasons why I shouldn’t use this combo as a first run on peptides.. backs a mess.. L5 herniated disc.. and smaller herniation between L1/L2 this combo leaves me with recurring sciatica.. and also recurring pinched nerves in neck.. shoulder impingement.. started trt a month ago and want to try to heal with peptides.. thanks for taking the time to read or respond
Recently had to get a ball removed from testicular cancer.
What is the link between hgh and gh compounds and cancer?
I have a whole heap of hgh but don’t want to use it if it’s going to increase the risk of my cancer coming back.
Cheers.
