I believe you are supposed to keep rHGH and secretagogues separated by at least 24 hours so I'm not sure if you are reaping any benefits combining them

there was a small study, in humans, that found hexarelin had a positive effect to LVEF in male volunteers. This effect appears to be a unique property of hexarelin.I love to go out to the leading edge in many areas, but the data on this is so thin and based on, practically, bathing disembodied rat hearts in this compound. that it's a real stretch to expect any positive benefit to the heart with this secretagogue. Maybe there's something there, but even with my "mad scientist" cap on, this is a long way off of reaching the status of a very low level "maybe".
Licking the dried crust off the stopper of an empty vial of Semaglutide has a much higher evidence based likelihood of benefitting the heart than this stuff imo.

You gotta be careful though, because it will spike prolactin at higher dosages.
Yeah you would have to pick either HGH or secretagogues. Like maybe workout days do HGH and non workout days do secretagogues. Or rotate HGH 4 months, off 2 months, on secretagogues two months then repeatKinda hard to do with hGH, being that you'd be injecting it at least once every 24 hours.
That sucks. The research I've read says Ipamorelin is the GHRP least likely to affect other hormones like Prolactin. All my labs have come back with low prolactin too. But everybody is different.All 3 of them can spike Prolactine. For me personally, Ipamorelin was the worst. 300mcg every evening for 3 weeks and my Prolactine was at 66. Stick to GH and run 3iu and you'll be off much better.
Thanks for bringing up this topic and posting this article. I did not see any of the rat trials as references in the article, or any other scientific evidence or data referenced. I did not do a seperate search regarding hexarelin used in rat trials. Basically, what I'm saying is that article is written without any proof to back up it's claims.![]()
The Effects of Hexarelin on the Cardiovascular System
In this condensed review, we discuss the evidence about the effect that Hexarelin has on the cardiovascular system. Read more here about Hexarelin.www.consumerhealthdigest.com
Explains it better than I could. For some of the results, it was administered IV but I believe the protective properties can be achieved with a long term daily dose.

Moreover, I HAVE read before that hexarelin is "stronger" than ipa, but I would have to search that study again. I've also run hex and ipa myself... anecdotally, shit works very well, but definitely hex is more "potent" IMO.
Hexarelin
Directly derived from GHRP-6 by substitution of 2- methyl-tryptophan for tryptophan [16], this compound is more rapidly absorbed than GHRP-6 due to its more lipophilic character and/or it is more resistant to degradation. This compound is more potent, has more chemical stability and reduced toxicity than GHRP-6. It is effective after intravenous, subcutaneous or intranasal administration. Apart from its capability to stimulate GH secretion, hexarelin displays a strong heart-protective activity against myocardial stunning in senescent rats, which seems to be specific to hexarelin or related GHRPs. Hexarelin also stimulates lactotroph and corticotroph secretion, stimulates feeding in the rat and has antiproliferative effects in human CALU-1 lung carcinoma cells.
Growth hormone secretagogues
Hexarelin has cardioprotective activity in common cardiovascular conditions such as cardiac fibrosis, ischemic heart disease, cardiac dysfunction, and atherosclerosis. The important in vivo studies of hexarelin in cardiovascular conditions are summarized in Table 2.

That's a nice sleep protocol. I have always struggled with sleep and it takes hours for me to settle down for the day. I've been taking melatonin for over 20yrs and it's always been helpful. I also take 500mgs of magnesium glycinate. On occasion I'll add 500mgs of magnesium oxide but the oxide often gives me the shits. My doctor now prescribes 100mgs of Hydroxyzine to help me settle down at night. I also take Gaba Pentin due to nerve damage from a major injury and surgery. The Gaba Pentin helps me slow down but seems to do little for deep, restful sleep. I also do a 6iu bolus of GH around 8 each night and the GH has helped me sleep deeper, once I finally hit that stage. The problem I have is it takes a really long time to hit that deep sleep stage and if I'm waking up to use the bathroom multiple times a night than it completely disrupts my ability to get deep restorative sleep -I do think that even on those rough nights the GH still helps make even the broken sleep more restorative.Pretty much yeah. 4-5iu of GH, 3000mg Magnesium, some 5HTP, Injectable Melatonin/Gaba/Arginin combined with DSIP and you sleep like a baby.
I wasn't aware of this. I just ordered some Reta and like I said in a previous post, I absolutely suck at sleep. I'm thinking I should order some DSIP today. I'm considering giving Epitalon a shot as well.I gotta try that.
I've been using reta and my sleep has been pretty shit lately. Allegedly it can cause sleep issues.

With that said, I have a couple quick questions on your protocol.
- Does the 3000mgs of Magnesium cause you any bowel issues? If not, which type are you using?
- Do you find the injectable melatonin works better than tablets? Is it worth the extra injection and cost, or is it just a part of a blend?
- I've been really interested in giving DSIP a shot. How effective do you think it is compared to the other parts of your protocol? How long does a kit last you?
**Epitalon also looks like it could have some promise as a productive sleep aid. I may give that a shot along with DSIP.
I apologize for the long reply. Sleep is just a major issue for me and as a recovering opiate addict I have to be really careful about what I take to slow myself down at night.
Thanks, brotha.
Currently taking HGH just before bed with a CJC295/Ipa blend and a Somorlin/ipa blend as prescribed.
No issues..thoughts ?

This is my understanding from the available research as well... its one or the other... hGH or Secretagogues.Youre wasting money. You should read into these things and educate yourself. Running GH + CJC295/Ipa blend + another Somorlin/ipa blend dont do much.
Just run GH alone at this point.

hGH shuts down natural production for, IIRC, about 24 hours. With natural productuon shut, what's the Ipa/cjc going to boost?
There are use cases for GH + GH peptides. Depends on the goal and they must be separated in the day properly. For most bodybuilding purposes or just for lean mass actual yea, more GH is better. But if one is using the peptides for an extra light boost in GH on top of rHGH and mainly for sleep quality improvement you can take the GH in the AM and peptides ideally 16 hours later pre bed. The peptides when separated that much will still give a little boost in GH but that is not the main purpose of that protocol. If you really want more GH effect then more rHGH Is definitely the easiest and best way to go.Youre wasting money. You should read into these things and educate yourself.

IIRC... the body produces close to "2iU" and the secretegogue(s) add another "1-1.5iU." And see below...Its pretty much pointless and Secretagogues dont even come close to make the body produce 3-4iu esp. at the old age. Just stick with 4iu GH.
I think with Ipa you come close to 2iu at tops?
Wasn't it one of Type-II's pieces, or can't remember where I read, but... combining is possible, but only when its low dosed hGH (about 1-2iU). Above 2iU and the hGH cancels out the secretagogue(s). I'll have to find that, my apologies for not posting the data at this time.There are use cases for GH + GH peptides. Depends on the goal and they must be separated in the day properly.

There is an interference effect from rhGH in the form of a partial feedback inhibition on secretagogues' stimulating GH secretion, and particularly GHS-R agonists like Ibutamoren (MK-677). It is probably modulated by direct action of GH on the hypothalamus to inhibit GHRH & stimulate somatostatin production, but could be modulated by stimulation of local IGF-I production from the somatotroph itself.
From my notes,
Mechanism in interference effect of rhGH on secretagogues
The mechanisms suggested for the negative feedback effect of GH on its own secretion include:
* inhibition of (hypothalamic) GHRH synthesis and release
* somatostatin synthesis and release (questionable; investigate)
* stimulation of local IGF-I production from the somatotroph itself
From Massoud, A. F., Hindmarsh, P. C., & Brook, C. G. D. (1995). Hexarelin induced growth hormone release is influenced by exogenous growth hormone. Clinical Endocrinology, 43(5), 617–621. doi:10.1111/j.1365-2265.1995.tb02927.x:
What you have presented is merely some evidence against that mechanism, it doesn't change the fact that partial interference occurs.
Unless you can point to some reason why Ibutamoren (MK-677) does not stand in the place of hexarelin as a Ghrelin mimetic (GHS-R agonist); GHRP, then I see no reason why it confers any particular advantage for this partial interference. Do you have evidence of its not being affected by GH in this regard from a representative study?
The Mod GRF (1-29) & Ipamorelin combination is OK, better than just Ibutamoren (MK-0677) for insulin resistance. Its relative unfavorability vs. rhGH relates mostly to financial expense & injection frequency, and an upper limit of about ~ 2.5 maybe 3 IU/d GH.
In that case no, but you should not administer GH secretagogues in combination with rhGH because GH negatively feeds back on its own secretion by partial interference. So you just waste the Ghrelin mimetic and/or Growth-hormone releasing hormone analogue.
