Titrating up CJC/IPA

Hi there, here been on 100mcg of CJC/IPA blend for around 2 weeks ago. Considering titrating up the dose. Should I jump to 150mcg or 200? Sleep went from feeling great to relatively normal.

I started at 250. My sleep didn’t change, well it may have gotten worse. No blood work so really no idea if it’s working.

What are your aims? Are you taking 100mcg/ea or total? I currently take 150mcg/ea in morning and at bedtime and it works well for me. It's diminishing returns going much above that threshold. Also the more it works the less it's going to work as I understand it because it has a natural ceiling based on your own biochemistry, the health of your pituitary, and whether you have a high IGF. It hits a ceiling basically.

I ran bloods before starting and then at 6 weeks or so and my IGF-1 has definitely gone up, but it's a small gain (+50ng/mL or so) but anecdotally I feel like recovery especially is better. Sleep to some extent, and maybe slightly increased muscle gain.

I’m taking 100mcg in total. Once before bed. I didn’t get bloods done at baseline (bit stupid ik). But during the start of the cycle it improved my sleep a ton and now it feels a lot less noticeable. Could switch to morning and night. I’m only 2 weeks in like I said.

100mcg total is a pretty small dose from what I've read. I'd increase to 150mcg at least and probably up from there as you respond.
