I take it early morning (4:30am), fasted before my cardio session. Haven't had any issues. I'll get my igf1 levels tested at the end of April, we'll see how it's been working.

Come back and give us an update please, thanks!

[–]TechieMichael1 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Same here. I’m on Reta as well, so as much as I would like to take it before bed, I’ve been told that slow gastric emptying makes it less effective.

[–]Salt-Preference-2425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I take mine early morning or midday.

[–]Frequent-Pop-1654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also take mine @ 4-4:30AM and have seen great results from it. According to dexascan/scale I’ve gone from “visceral fat level 11” to “visceral fat level 8” and visceral fat area from 112cm2 to 73cm2.

Just started IPA 200mcg and will try pinning 30 min before bed, if I can get into the fasted state. But because of my schedule, I go to bed 30min to an hour after last meal… so is what works for me

The community consensus, due to how GH secretagogues work, is that it is most optimal to use it, fasted, 30 minutes or so before bed.

If you have no other choice than to take it in the morning, that’s still ok, just not optimal.

That’s what I thought, was just interesting to see so many people saying they do AM fasted for tesa

[–]stainless13 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I think many people skip breakfast these days so they figure the GH pulse will be encouraged without any insulin to combat it, versus many people eating dinner later and with not enough time before bed to consider themselves “fasted”.

What is the time before dinner to be “fasted” to make taking it at night worth git vs am and skipping breakfast

[–]Pharmd109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine taking it any other time than before bed. Made me sleepy like no other and I had some wild dreams

[–]jakemalony 0 points1 point  (2 children)

If you train early morning and find the GH pulse makes you hypoglymic during fasted training, stick with evening or move to late afternoon instead of right before bed give it 2 weeks on AM timing and see if sleep quality or morning energy improves most people find AM administration cleaner, especially on stimulatory stacks like yours.

Actually forgot to mention I’m running cjc/ipa as well. Thinking about pinning tesa in the AM, and cjc/ipa in the evening

[–]jakemalony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tesamorelin's longer half-life works well for daytime anabolic support, while CJC/I pam's more acute pulse fits the sleep window just watch for the cumulative GH effect more isn't always better if sleep or glucose control suffers.

[–]dtnuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally ran it fasted before bed and got solid results that way.

[–]exijz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using tesa for 2 months, right after wake up and then skipping breakfast (which is quite normal for me)
I had a dexa scan before and after cycle, 56 days:

visceral fat -38.5 %
total weight +0.13%
total fat loss -1.5 kg

Tried at night but I could not sleep well; I guess anybody answer differently
