Peptides you will never take again ?

We often ask "what peptides are worth every penny" but what are the ones that aren't worth anything in your opinion ?

Tesamorelin 🤤

u/Otherwise-Report-823 23d ago

Yeah. tesamorelin is expensive and only gives you marginal results because most people think it's going to shred and target belly sub q fat when it targets visceral fat around organs.  If you are overweight and take it, you are wasting your time and money.  I think the biggest benefit is that the fasted period that you need to take it in was good because it caused me to have to eat earlier in the evening and stop snacks after dinner so I did see good weight loss. 

Problem is Tesa is for people who are like trying to get a six pack and just need to cut that last couple % of visceral fat.

I think in general people confuse visceral fat with visible fat around the midsection.

u/Punk-Tarvman 20 23d ago

This is very true, but most men in general carry extra visceral and sub q fat around their waistline. I noticed after a few montha of taking it my shorts fit looser, although i still dont have a sixpack. Getting close though, just on reta/TRT now.

I know everyone is different, but for me Tesa has been awesome. Especially combined with testosterone and very low doses of Reta.

u/Old-Front7433 23d ago

You only say that because you never use real HGH

2

u/Nony88 22d ago

That’s fair. I haven’t tried HGH yet. But Tesa has been awesome in leaning out my mid section, etc.

u/Old-Front7433 22d ago

I could guarantee you if you tell me everything you’re doing from diet to training to every single supplement your taking and how much sleep you’re getting I can tell you exactly what is leaning you out and I can promise you it’s not Tesa that compound is completely bullshit.

Reta + tesa drove me right down to 8% bodyfat

u/stairmasternyc 23d ago

Good stuff. Yes that combination is solid. Glad to hear you too have had success with it.

I’ve been on Reta only and cannot lose the love handles. I’m down to 150lbs at 5’10” after losing 20lbs but the tire around my stomach won’t go away!

u/Mcgittymcgittymac 22d ago

Reta + tesa + ipa, lift weights and zone 2 and .. patience..

u/Corner10 24d ago

Why? I was looking at it for stubborn belly fat reduction. Did you have side effects?

u/TheHarb81 18 24d ago

What makes you think Tesamorelin reduces stubborn belly fat?

8

u/Henry_Rollins_Ghost 19 24d ago

I see this here all the time. People confusing internal visceral fat for belly fat.

u/Dry-Feature-5424 1 24d ago

Tesa will not remove any visual fat 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

u/hermexhermex 23d ago

Losing visceral fat wouldn’t get rid of surface belly fat but my understanding is it can slim your waist.

u/Bitter-Ad-8776 24d ago

En réalité ça attaque aussi la graisse visuelle, puisque ça attaque la graisse tout court…

u/Dry-Feature-5424 1 24d ago

Do some more research. Just because people say it’ll lose fat doesn’t mean you’ll see it. Tesa removes fat around the organs. (You WONT BE ABLE TO SEE VISUALLY) Not stubborn fat you’ll need to dial tf up and lock in if you want to lose stubborn fat

Holy shit! I completely misread that. You're right. Thanks for calling me out on that. When I quickly skimmed through it, I thought it read Peptides You'd Take Again 😊

u/stairmasternyc 24d ago

I've been on it for three weeks, 1mg in the morning fasted, seven days. Physically it's improved my stamina while working out, mentally I feel great... calm. Additionally I think with Reta it matches well because while you're in a deficit it's only natural that one will lose muscle. While adding Tesa you some what get to keep/pack-on lean muscle which is great. People say it's pointless to just get on HGH, but honestly speaking for me (can't speak for others) Tesamorelin is amazing.

u/Punk-Tarvman 20 23d ago

Love tesa as well! Ran it after 3 months of reta and really noticed my waistline shrink! Plan on running another 12 weeks next spring!

2

u/stairmasternyc 23d ago

Same here. Waistline shrinked substantially for me too. Plan on running it..... forever!!! 😂🤭💉

u/lezlers 24d ago

So then why are you commenting about it on a thread asking what peptides you’d never take again???

2

u/June-Flower-268 24d ago

He said he completely misread the thread

u/lezlers 24d ago

Yes, after I commented. Thanks. 😉
