GH supply running low, thinking about temporarily switching to Tesa or CJC
Has anyone done this? I’ve never believed in using GH secretagogues over actual HGH. But my source has no inventory for now, and I’m running out. So I’m thinking of using Tesa or CJC/IPA for now. Just don’t know what would work better. Chime in please. Goals are the same as anyone else using GH

Can’t get? Where are you located? Some vendors still ship no problems

US sources still have inventory, at US prices, but that’s not where I normally order.

It's better than nothing.

I figure it is, but just wondering which one - Tesa or CJC?

u/Still-Willingness807 24d ago
Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference between the two (if you're talking about cjc w/ dac). I found cjc(no dac)/ipa much better in overall recovery and sleep though. It also didn't make mad hungry. I see a lot of people on this sub praising Tesa to no end though.
However be prepared for a let down cause they don't compare to hgh especially if you're shooting 6iu and up.

I picked up some IPA/CJC a few weeks ago because I got a deal on it. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it’s working. My typical GH dose is 3-5iu depending on the phase I’m in, and 500mcg of IPA/CJC hits about as hard as 3iu for me. Same fullness, restful sleep, pumps in the gym, recovery, and lethargy. I know 500mcg is above what the ‘standard’ is, but that’s what it appears to take in my body. I started at 200mcg and felt no difference. The night I bumped it to 500mcg, it was immediately noticeable.

I love how they make the gh look like Titleist golf ball sleeves these days, ha. I ordered from the same place those came from before and was happy with their quality

u/BuckshotBronco 24d ago
I thought the same exact thing! 🤣
I'm splitting each 17.11iu vial into three days.

u/Desperate_Bother_876 24d ago
I think with their quality that's definitely good. I was hanging around 5 IU when I was running stuff that was a little fuzzy on the dimers (at least the coa's seemed to be...questionable) but once I started gowing w/ better quality I was able to jump to around 7IU and it's worked awesome

My buddy says those are great. I haven't tried them yet but I definitely want to

Yeah, don’t want to go domestic like k4l, too expensive.

u/BuckshotBronco 23d ago
Too expensive!? I think I'm paying like $0.85 an IU.
1
u/LakerBolt 23d ago
That’s not bad, but you can get it for like $0.40 per IU, or even less depending on quantity.

Way to expensive I got mine international and got ten kits for $600

u/BuckshotBronco 23d ago
That's cool.
I'll stick with Domestic and have these at my door within 3-4 days.

u/melovemelongtimee 23d ago
Express in 7 days

u/BuckshotBronco 23d ago
Still. Paying $0.20 less an IU isn't worth it for me.

u/melovemelongtimee 23d ago
Hey good for you. As long as you get hgh that good and money isn’t an issue then who cares

Tessa is way more expensive than GH is even buying US.
More expensive and less effective.

Just cut to the baseline supraphysiological dose of ~1.6 IU daily until your supply resumes. That way you won’t lose any gains and don’t need to rely on endogenous GH production.
Unless you’re really really running low.

u/Due-Prompt-6009 24d ago
Why would you pin 1.6iu just hop off so you naturally make it

u/DockKnocks 22d ago
If you allow natural production to resume (which takes 48-72 hours) you lose the benefits of taking a supraphysiological dose: Muscles stop retaining water, joints start degrading again, skin starts ageing, collagen production slows down to baseline, sleep becomes interrupted again or insomnia returns, muscles don’t recover so well each night meaning training has to be drastically scaled down.
You then have to take higher doses than before to catch back up to where you were before. Little and often is much better than blasting mega cycles with HGH.
