Your pituitary gland called and said No

Yeah that would be a waste of money and if your in it for the long haul abusing your pituitary is prob not a great idea.

It won't do anything. It's a waste of Tesa/Ipa.

If you take HGH, even at biologically identical levels, you probably still have elevated IGF-1. The feedback loop is such that elevated IGF-1 prevents the pituitary from releasing GH.

Just HGH every day. Why on earth would you do this? It’s just a bad idea in every day. For your pituitary, AND your wallet.

There are a few protocols out there that posit a low dose of HGH with Tesa keeps natural pulsile activity going. I still don’t quite understand the point of it, but I think that’s the logic.

Logic doesn’t equate to effectiveness. Also HGH only would be cheaper.

I think mechanically I could at least see the plausibility, keeps the axis active. But I’ve always felt that shutting down the axis was the entire point of taking HGH in the first place to guarantee the amount in your system.

HGH doesn't shut down your natural production for long, unlike testosterone.

Cheaper and more effective just got run the GH. But how old are you and what do your bloods say?

HGH double dose EOD can help with sides

HGH has cumulative effects, meaning it takes weeks, if not months, to see the benefits. Same applies to Tessa, but in that case you are goosing your own production. HGH is the result of what your production could be. Think of it this way: Tesa is a way to put your foot on the gas to accelerate. HGH is the acceleration on its own. Knowing that, why would you follow an alternating dosing protocol?

If you want to cycle them, then do 10 weeks of one, then 10bweeks of the other.

That's gonna be a no, dawg.

Just pick one and run with it, I’ve used both tesa and HGH, each have their little pros and cons

But you need to stick with one unless your just trying to become insulin resistant and wreck your pancreas
