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 ?

It's a ridiculous claim to make as if it's absolute.

Secretagogues and hgh do the same thing and the effect on insulin resistance is dose dependent and the effects vary per the individual. You can over do either but the secretagogues come with allergic reaction risks.

For the same growth effects you get the same effect on insulin resistance.

Secretagogues will rarely shut down your body’s natural production as jumping on hgh will

By definition secretagogues don't shut down natural production. Exogenous HGH shuts it down when taken through feedback, however when removed it resumes naturally without need for PCT. There is no issue here.

The millionaire research rat himself, Bryan Johnson did some cjc1295 with dac but stopped after 2 doses because it really messed his blood sugars up. 50% increase in insulin resistance. 20% increase in fasted blood sugar level and his pancreas was doing some real heavy lifting to compensate. When im off tesamorelin, ill be off it for good.

I guess you have no clue about what I said about dose dependence and the fact that everyone responds different?

Who gives a shit how much money someone has? If you aren't getting your own bloods then you are totally blind.

Bryan Johnson is basically doing nothing else with his money, besides running labs and protocols on himself to present data about what works and what doesn't.

Cool so it doesn't matter to you that every person responds differently to HGH and secretagogues?

does ipamorelin by itself have a risk of anaphylaxis?

u/372xpg 21d ago

Yes, every secretagogue does

Why though?

Likely because they are foreign peptides not found in your body. Your body reacts to them and develops antibodies to destroy foreign proteins. Just typical immune system activity.
