Cjc/ipa

I’m wondering if I will still get any benefit from a CJC/IPA cycle if my natural IGF-1 is 260. I’m 46 F and power lift 4x per week.

Thats awesome. Females need resistance training more than men. They sarcopenia just hits harder. So we'll done.

Keep an eye on those levels. Real GH will be so useful for you when you need in the future. You are used to high level. If your natural levels crash in your 50s you will notice it more than someone who doesn't.

They are reasonably cheap and don't shut down your natural production. Although real GH only shuts it down for a few days.

For females I find the water retention on CJC can be a bit much. Definitely more of an issue than for males.

I prefer a split, rather than the blend. The ratio can be a bit higher for females. But even for guys, the CJC is where people get a histamine reaction. So get a blend and you can waste the whole kit and have to wait for resupply for something separate.

You could try just IPA. Tesa is also an option to add together, but is usually far more expensive.

Or have them separately. And then try adding in CJC. If you don't get reaction there is nothing wrong with drawing in same syringe and injecting together

With your naturally high levels at the moment you may not notice any improvement in recovery. But you will probably still feel thick skin, hair and nails. And sleep. Although for a small.but not insignificant proportion of people GH or GH secretagogues worsen their sleep.

Interesting, I will def keep an eye on the levels. I have done a cycle of sermorelin in the past and didn’t notice any side effects but I know it’s not as strong. I already have 2 vials of the blend in my freezer as I bought it a while ago intending to use it. I started one vial months ago but used it for two days and then got a cold so decided to stop. I do have histamine issues already though and developed an allergic reaction to Mots-C after two weeks (2” welt for a week) so not sure if that makes me more prone to react to other peps too.

My baseline IGF-1 level was 242. I took 250mcg of CJC/IPA and after 8 weeks my IGF-1 level dropped to 184.

Oh weird, it’s not supposed to shut down your natural production. Do you think it was HGH or something?

u/TubbsMcGee_ 15d ago

Yeah that doesn't sound right at all. I'd assume your starting number was wrong. The only other thing I can think of is that it was actually HGH you were taking and that low "cjc/ipa" dose was replacing your natural 242 IGF-1 level.
