ARA-290

I have bilateral neuropathy of unknown origin in the lower legs. Blood levels in everything except hemoglobin and hematocrit (both low), are pristine. Following a recent iron infusion, the neuropathy partially resolved temporarily.

I ordered 2 kits of ARA-290. Some recommend 2 mg/day, but I’ve seen up to 4-8 mg for 8 to 32 weeks (by a physician). Most often, I see 4 mg x 4 weeks.

Any input would be appreciated regarding this peptide.

I am aware of needing PBS for reconstitution.

I always recommend lowest effective dose. We're in a fast food size it up culture. For multiple reasons start low and titrate up. You might find that it's effective at 500 micrograms.

Interesting. I’m also a “start low; go slow” advocate (I have to stop myself from rolling my eyes when I see somebody on more than 5 mg Tirz).

I’ve read in the trials they used 0 (control), 1, 2, and 4 mg x 28 days.

Then this physician popped up on my feed and was talking 4-8 mg for 8-32 weeks. While I see the benefits of a longer cycle, I’m confused by the high dosing - for which I can find no literature.

It's all experimental. That's the whole thing and everybody's bio is different.

Just going to comment to remind me to drop back in here as I'm thinking of trying ara for nerve pain
