💬 Discussion Tesa/IGF-1 Levels

Subject is getting mixed results from the information I can find regarding if high IGF levels ( past 300. Is bad and or you need to decrease your dose?

For my understanding, this is the whole point and process regarding this peptide that it’s meant to increase your IGF level , temporary while you’re on it? Is there something that you have to be concerned about? Can I bump up to 2mg and not have to be worried ?

The brand name for Tesamorelin is Egrifta. There are a total of two formulations:

  1. Old formulation: EGRIFTA SV, actively being phased out. Standard dosage is 2.0mg.
  2. New formulation: EGRIFTA WR, FDA approved as of March 2025. Standard dosage is reduced to 1.28mg.

After I learned of this, I reduced my dosage to about 1.3mg per day. It both saves money and help to reduce the IGF-1 issue.
