IGF-1 Result and CJC 1295/Ipamorelin Mix

Hi:

I am considering adding to my TRT/HCG protocol a 3 to 6 month “cycle” of CJC 1295/Ipamorelin mix. I have tried to educate myself as much as possible on the subject matter, but I still am not clear on whether this is something you should only consider if your IGF-1 levels are low. Admittedly, I purchased my CJC-1295/Ipamorelin mix before I received my IGF-1 lab result. My level is 135 which appears to be almost ideal within the standard
41-279 ng/ml range for someone my age (62), especially considering a “U curve” philosophy. After reading about possible harmful affects from elevated growth hormone levels for “an extended period of time”, I am not sure if I should begin this protocol now.

Thank your for any input.
 
What are your priorities/issues that you are hoping it will address? Is it CJC with DAC or without? Is your fasting insulin fairly low (e.g. below 6 or so.) ? Where did you get 6 months from? Are you familiar with the causes of cancer and how to minimize them? How is your overall health and fitness? Injury status? I have used these and I think they clearly have a place but they are like any other tool. They have good uses, bad uses, and ineffective uses which depend on things like what you want to accomplish, what you have already tried, and what your overall status is.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
