PT-141- New to peptides

[bruin]

I am beginning my journey into peptides. I have a visceral fat issue and did some research where I came across PT-141. I previously considered this for the libido and possible sex enhancing qualities, but have also realized it is being used for weight management/fat loss, and seeing visceral fat being mentioned.

I have been researching some providers, not entirely confident about dosage.

Recently had lab work :

Mar 4, 2025 (Table 1 of 1) Component INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR I Normal Range: 59 - 230 ng/mL Mar 4, 2025 87 ng/mL

Basically, is my consideration for PT-141 reasonable?

I am a big fan of PT-141 however i have not heard of it for this purpose, and if stimulating the melanocortin system does in fact help with visceral fat loss, I would suspect that it's Melanotan 2 you would want to try. Have you implemented Sean O'Meara's visceral fat loss protocol? Now that you mention it, I think sun exposure may be part of his protocol so in that sense MT2 could help, but you would want to start with brief mid-day sun exposure first I would guess. Also, I always suggest people start with 100-300 micrograms. That should be enough for results without significant sides, at least to start.
