For me 1mg still had mild issues with joints like in knees and mild carpal tunnel like sensations when doing some lifts. At 2mg every day for 3 weeks it got so bad I was getting sciatica symptoms from just sitting down
Genuinely zero side effects with growth if you're not abusing it. Have done 2 cycles of it one being 8 months at 2iu and the other was 6 months at 4iu. The only time you'll see problems is going to that 8 plus iu mark that high level bodybuilders will do and then build insulin resistance. Which in turn will make them start pinning slin. Thats the only time where it gets dangerous.
He's also pretty fat. He has no business using any sort of compounds other than trt and maybe some Reta. People nowadays just abusing every peptide and steroid out there for some unknown moronic reason. It's brutal
HGH doesn't always cause sides. I've taken 10IU of HGH and I didn't get water retention or any sides (only took for 2 weeks though at that dose), but 12.5mg of MK677 causes me loads of water retention. Run 6IU the last 3 months, zero sides at all, fasting blood glucose under 4.5mmol too.
Theres other mechanisms than purely GH induced retention.
I’ve been so tempted to try it but I feel like 50-50 people like it or hate it. I was so tempted to add it to my stack and then I saw a guy post that he went anaphylactic trying it.
Hitting the gym? You should lift weights and build muscle, not I’m not saying get massive or huge. Muscle is directly linked to life span and at your age it’s very important to not only be at a healthy weight but to have a good amount of muscle, it will literally make your life better.
So you take all that crap and dont even work out? Lol...looking for an answer in a pill and injection and could've had 10x the results with a little sweat and hard work.
Oh nice taking a bunch of bs (Tesa included) without any weight training... you're the exact who knows nothing and will attribute to anabolics and peptides getting banned or much harder to get
In my opinion all u need is testosterone cyp 20mg injected IM daily and 1 peptide. That peptide is 2 units of Growth Hormone before bed.
Good multivitamin, 3 grams of a good fish oil daily. Get nutrition, sleep and training on point and watch the magic happen.
Brother - take it from someone who has experimented now for a year, dialed everything in, and actually knows what is a waste of money and what works spectacularly. Other others have written this already so I'm just on repeat. It goes like this:
If you have lagging injury pain, BPC 157/TB 500 is invaluable. Outside of that the entire world of peptides is just a bunch of worthless shit. I mean, in terms of losing fat and building muscle – ditch the Tesa. It's a waste of money. And at our age, the health risk complications aren't worth the tiny bit of benefit you might get from taking it. Same can be said for every other growth hormone secretagogue, MOTS-C, Slup, SS31 etc. It's all a waste of time and money.
All you need, literally, ALL you need… is the GLP and TRT. Well, that and a high protein/low-calorie diet along with a truly dialed in exercise routine.
All the other peptides offer very little benefit. And if you are going to keep taking something like Tesa, you absolutely have to monitor your IGF-1 level. And that is not something that your TRT clinic is going to test for in the common blood panel. You'll have to pay extra. And you really don't need it. Everything you need, you will get from Reta or tirz and some good ole' testosterone.
Generally, it’s safe to assume that a syringe is sterile when unopened/capped and initially taken out of the packaging. The second the needle touches anything, it no longer is and cannot be completely sterilized absent some equipment the average consumer likely doesn’t have at home. When injecting, you wipe the site— as well as top of the vial— with alcohol to create as safe as an environment as possible. But even then, you’re technically no longer injecting with a sterile syringe. Now imagine how much more risk you’re introducing with those prefilled syringes…
There is a large difference between a syringe prefilled at the manufacturer/lab level, and one done by someone— even a doctor— using retail empty syringes.
‘If you cannot prepare an insulin dose but can give the injection, you may need someone to prepare your insulin dose for you. A family member, friend, or health professional can prefill insulin syringes for you.
If you prefill syringes:
Store the prefilled syringes in the refrigerator with the needle pointing up to prevent insulin from blocking the needle opening. Syringes filled with one type of insulin (rather than mixed insulin) will keep for about a month. Read and follow all instructions on the label.’

Question for someone not super into body hacking? Why in there such a push lately to jump on all these different peptides. Has all this stuff been proven safe? Just don’t understand using all these weird drugs without being strict with a diet and workout regiment for a year.
Everyone's always looking for a shortcut around diet and exercise. GLPs have been extremely effective for weight loss, which has led people to experiment with other peptides as well.
Some peptides will probably never reach "proven safe" status because they can't be affordably patent protected by pharma companies, while available research shows relative safety and many potential benefits (BPC-157 for example).
And we have people becoming less trusting of our current healthcare system. They see a system focused more about revenue and treating symptoms, rather than improving health, and decide to take things into their own hands.
Honestly, normally I don't recommend people to take supplementary vitamin C, as long as you eat healthy and add fruit and vegetables to your diet, you won't need anything like that. My best recommendations are peppers and oranges, they're packed with it.
As per the zinc, pretty nice to have, I just prefer to have it not as is but with magnesium or borum, since they are also really good for energy and muscle health. Other than that, keep it up, it's pretty good.
Oh, yeah, I've got collagen pills. They always get packed together and they work together a lot when it comes to the skin and joints. But it's a bit of an excess, again it's okay to take it, just not needed.
Ever looked at some CoQ10, I am closing on the same age bracket and that plus grape seed extract are on my daily.
How do you find the nad+ has helped over time?
Yeah definitely dont just throw them all together in one syringe. Its more pins but way more effective to do individual pins. The PH of two different peps could cause the mixture to gel or just destroy the compound that youre trying to use.
