IGF-1 levels/Tesamorelin

[dcfreak]

I have been running 2mg Tesamorelin before bed and 500mcg of Ipamorelin in the morning. After 5 weeks my IGF-1 is 196 ng/ml.

I am 43. I am wondering if maybe my age is an issue or will it take longer than 5 weeks? I was hoping to see levels a bit higher.

I have a few 36iu kits arriving today and plan to just switch to GH. I still have a few kits of tesa....am I wasting time with it and just move to GH, or maybe use tesa at night until its gone and the GH in the am?

Many thanks

Peaks around 8 weeks at ~50% increase from baseline. If you were 130 it's about right. Tough to say if it's effective
without a baseline. GH can push it much higher obviously, but it won't be pulsatile.

My own fault for not having baseline IGF-1.

Rookie move, I know.

Thank you, Ghoul.

My baseline is 156 and I’m younger than you. Very hard to tell what type of gain you’re getting without that info unfortunately.

Heard that. Definitely an error on my part. I imagine the tesa/ipa are doing *something*....I just thought I would land a bit higher from the protocol. I bet 5 weeks might not be enough time

I would always pare an GHRH with an GHRP so consider taking additionally Ipamorelin with your Tesamorelin. So i would ad at least Ipamorelin at night

Ideally and considering the cost of Tesamorelin a good protocoll would look like follows:

-Morning : 100mcq GHRP-2 + 100mcq CJC NO DAC

-Noon: 100mcq GHRP-2 + 100mcq CJC NO DAC

-Before Bed: 2mg Tesamorelin+ 500mg Ipamorlin

Note: of course you could always switch the GHRP-2 with Ipamorelin. But its much more expensive to run Ipamorelin.
