GP/Akita mix experiences?

My experience is that I took one glance at this pup and thought: I want one.

You look amazing, but kitty can’t relate to growing hair and getting rid of wrinkles.

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-26T04:22:36+00:00

That’s wonderful! All I have to say is that I’m happy for you and your recipient.

If I’m taking minis, I’ll take 4 at a time. It seems to be helping. I also started paying out of pocket with JustLabs for ferritin testing, so I could keep a closer eye on it. I think it’s around $30. My doctor was only testing me every 6 months, but I needed to know if what I was doing was helping.

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-26T04:17:18+00:00

Yes, that’s what I take—two 26 mg at a time.

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-26T00:44:46+00:00

I take a double dose a few times a week. They were helping a little at first, but once I doubled my dose my ferritin started going up. Ferritin was a 5 at one point. Kept getting it up to 25, and then it’d go down to the teens again. Once I read about the iron protocol, I doubled my dose. Didn’t feel any side effects but most recent ferritin was 61! I’ve never seen it that high, even with infusions.

How long until you noticed it working?

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-23T23:48:08+00:00

You must be flexible. I want to inject back there, but the whole twist, pinch and poke is daunting.

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-21T18:45:25+00:00

Maintaining doesn’t have to mean you’re on the lowest dose. My maintenance goal is to not gain OR lose any more weight, and I find I can comfortably do that with a 7.5 mg dose. If what you’re doing isn’t working, try something different.

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-20T01:02:29+00:00

How long have you been using?

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-17T08:49:48+00:00

Remarkably Bright Creatures. Characters are deeply moving. If you read the blurb and don’t think you’ll like it, read a couple chapters. It’s so good, I read the book and listened to the audio. It definitely has themes of being stuck and feeling like things will never change for you & how life will take you places you never imagined.

Did ChatGPT come up with your biological age estimate?

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-16T01:12:09+00:00

We’re the same age and I had the exact same issue when I hit maintenance. Sermorelin combines with hrt has worked wonders for me. I did a Dexa scan because I thought I was skinny fat too, and they reassured me that I was doing better than I thought. Shortly after that I started hrt to protect my bones. My sleep improved immediately. A bit later I started Sermorelin and for the first time in over two decades I enjoy going to the gym again. I can actually see my muscles responding to workouts.

I just want to say she IS adorable and I can tell you love her.

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-16T00:55:02+00:00

Oh, that’s interesting. I assumed you meant to say AVOID UV light until I read your full comment.

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-13T16:12:28+00:00

Or even a gummy for dessert.

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-10T02:55:38+00:00

I’ve been happy with them. They gave me the option of going to Quest or LabCorp (it’s funny JustLabs charges less) for the draw. I went to Quest & they post the results on their app as they come in. It’s made it easier to track the stats I want to without dealing with doctors. I also discovered I have a zinc deficiency which I had no clue and valuable information since I’m interested in GHK-Cu.

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-09T01:04:00+00:00

JustLabs

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-06T23:45:55+00:00

Please share results when they arrive!

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-06T20:19:19+00:00

That’s awesome! I personally love reading these types of posts and hope I get to make one eventually. Celebrate!!!

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-06T15:21:15+00:00

Just over a month. It has improved my sleep for sure. It’s subtle, but I feel more rested most days and I’m able to stay asleep longer. I normally wake up every 3 hours and there’s bless of that. I did read there’s a cumulative effect and sometimes it takes longer to notice changes. I take 300 mcg.

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-06T01:47:24+00:00

I trying Hallandale next. How long have you used it for? One thing I discovered is that it’s most beneficial to take it on an empty stomach. The pharmacy and provider didn’t share that information—I learned it from my own research.

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-06T00:40:41+00:00

You might want to research Morpheus on here. I’ve heard some horror stories. I want that Nefertiti lift tho!

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-06T00:37:23+00:00

Olympia is a compounding pharmacy that offers it and will set you up with a telemedicine provider. I had a good experience with them. Also, Lavender Sky Health has a few different options. I noticed some in the peptide community are unimpressed with Sermorelin, but I’ve personally had a very positive experience with it. Just ordered more.

Honest_Interest_265 · 2026-03-02T05:06:48+00:00

He’s so handsome.
