Tesamorelin dosage, dumb question

I see the common dosage for tesamorelin is 1 or 2 mg per day. You really use up a 5mg vial in 2-1/2 or 5 days? Or am I missing something?
 
you're correct, you'll need a bunch of 5mg vials for a 60-90 day run with Tesamorlin, costs can add up very quickly. Its not packaged in a useful way at 5mg/vial. I did look carefully at the dosing as most of the GH type peptides does in the MICRO (mcg) ranges.

You have it correct. Tesamorelin is an expensive peptide, what are your goals? You can get the same results using other (less expensive) peptides.

The reason for the expense is that this an approved drug for specific conditions, namely midsection fat loss for HIV patients. CJC 1295 (No Dac) and Ipamorelin combined are a potent combo that would achieve the same results for MUCH cheaper.

My reason to go with it was a less expensive version of HGH. Been on T for a year and the benefits seem to be less and less. I’m not sure if I want do an AS cycle or not, but that is also an option. Certainly less expensive.
 
yes cheaper options in the peptides realm to stim the pituitary for a GH response, consider Sermorelin, BPC157, TB500, GHRP 2, GHRP 6, 1295 etc etc
Those all dose in the area of mcg.

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.
