    Low IGF-1 and a ruptured tendon - which peptide would be better?

    During my most recent consult with Dr. Calkins, he recommended starting BPC-157 (250mcg ED SQ) and CJC-1295/Ipamorelin (350mcg ED SQ). The former because I just had surgery to reattach my left distal bicep tendon (8/11/2020), and the latter because my IGF-1 has been trending down over the last...

    DHEA substitute?

    Hi - My wife and I are patients with Defy. She had been taking 25mg DHEA ED with good results: increased mental clarity, energy, and mood. Unfortunately it was causing her to lose her hair at an alarming rate. After her most recent consult, it was decided to drop down to 12.5mg ED. However...

    My Clomid journey

    Started 15mg Clomid ED on July 3 under the care of Defy. I had my blood tests last week for my 6 week follow-up, so the results reflect a little over 4 weeks of use. Blood tests confirm physical results I've observed since about week 2: - larger testes (and fuller scrotum) - way more erections...
