I have been on TRT for over 4 years. I take 160 mgs of Cypionate per week divided on 2 shots. 50 units of HCG. Same protocol since the begining. I test every six months. All labs have been really good since I started. Morning wood, strong erections and libido. No issues. All the sudden out of...
I just did my blood work and my numbers are similar to yours. I've been thinking on taking armour thyroid to optimize my thyroid but after reading the experiences of some people here and in other places I rather not. I also have low Iodine so I will focus on increasing that. I don't have any of...
Glad I found this thread. My Functional Doctor is precribing LDN to optimize my Thyroid but I have not been able to find any evidence that LDN will be helpful for that. It seems like amazing stuff for your immune system and I am tempted to take it anyway for that reason. Is anybody taking LDN...
You can do a Keto or low carb diet without eating bacon, heavy cream, steaks and all that saturated fat. There are plenty of other healthy fat options that wont increase your LDL ( also LDL or total cholesterol per se is not bad, a better indicator of cardiovascular risk is the actual number of...
It is my humble opinion that a person should not follow somebody's else's diet or one of those fad diets. A person should follow a diet which is specific for the person based on the person's genes, health situation, microbiome, body composition and blood work. I know some people do great with...
I used to take it but stopped based on several studies that show increased IgF-1 is not healthy long term. I took it for a 6 months or so along with CJC-1295 and it did increased my IgF-1 from 100 to 200 very quickly. I read in numerous studies that one should maintain IgF-1 between 80 to 150...
I am new to this but I thought that Estradiol, just as Testosterone binds to SHBG.I assume "in range" estradiol depends on the person SHBG so not sure how somebody came up with those "normal ranges". So a person with high SHBG is "allowed" higher estradiol. My SHBG is 53 and my E2 is 41 and I...
Also these were the tests that I took related to Insulin Resistance specifically:
Leptin (ng/mL) - normal
Adiponectin (μg/mL) - low
Free Fatty Acid (mmol/L) - normal
Ferritin (ng/mL) - normal
α-hydroxybutyrate (μg/mL)- high
Oleic Acid (μg/mL) - normal
Linoleoyl-GPC (μg/mL) -normal
HOMA-IR...
Are you taking any peptides? The same thing happended to me when taking sermorelin/GHRP-2. I took a comprehensive blood panel and it showed a mild insulin resistance but normal blood glucose and A1C. My Doctor suggested I cycle off the peptides because of this.
Maybe the results have nothing to do with peptides but all to do with TRT which I assume we are all doing in addition to a good diet and workout program. I stopped the IGF-1 peptides more than a month ago and have not noticed anything different in terms of strenght. I have actually seen small...
Yes , all the internet sites sell peptides “for research purposes only” except if you buy from a compounding pharmacy through a clinic which is what I always have done.
My IGF-1 was 200 when I was doing peptides, around 100 when started a year ago. I have not checked my blood since I stopped a bit more than a month ago. Based on my research safe IGF-1 is below 150 and higher than 80. I would’t want higher than 150 for long. My goal is longevity and health. You...
I suggest people do some research on the effects of increasing IGF-1 to hight levels. Having too high or too low IGF-1 has effects in your health. There is a sweet spot. This is a good description of the goods and bads of IGF-1. Surprising Truth About IGF-1 + Foods, Side Effects, Cancer -...
You are on T 350 mgs per week? That’s not TRT therapy. That seems to be more of a bodybuilding dose. On the peptides I did not feel any rush. On the contrary. It helps you sleep better, so they say.
I didn't feel anything different other than want to numbers say. Less BF %, les viceral fat and more muscle, based on dexa scans. I did however start TRT about the same time than when I started that peptide combo. I wasn't run down or anything like that when I started anyway. I was in pretty...
I suggest you purchase the peptides from a reputable compounding pharmacy through a health care practicioner. Buying this directly in the internet is risky. I got mine through a local clinic because Empower (Defy) doesn't carry ipamorelin/cjc1295. Another member in this forum suggested Online...
I tried Sermorelin/ GHRP2 too for a while. It just made me hungry all the time (GHRP2 caused this and GHRP6 is even worse) and shoot up my glucose and impacted my insulin resistance. Everything went back to normal when I cycled off. I did not like it. I had a better experience with...
I did the gainswave and it was amazing. However, I went to a great doctor and she tested my penis blood flow and nerves before starting. That way she knew what I needed. She did not recommend a PRP shot in my case. Only gainswave. If you are going to spend the money go to a place where they test...
I've done some research in the subject and I actually discussed IGF-1 with a Doctor who is an expert on Inmune Regenarative Medicine and Oncology. He does not recommend driving IFG-1 high at all. The conclusion of my discussions with the Doc and what can be found in the internet, can be...
I believe it helps as its main purpose is to burn fat. But I I believe it is best to start with the peptide first for a few months and then introduce the Lipo-C . That way you can see what is working and what is not. I used it to help me burn fat so the Dexa scan is the test. I also use a low...
I get it from Empower through Defy. You need a prescription. I inject 1 ml sub cu twice a week. I do cycle these injectables on an off. For example 4-6 weeks on and 4 weeks off. Empower has a detailed description in their website LIPO-C (MIC) INJECTION | Compounding Pharmacy - Empower Pharmacy...
I do them once on a while but see no difference in B12 levels vs a B12 supplement vs no supplementation. If you have good nutrition you don't actually need it. I understand people on metformin need to supplement.
