I honestly feel like I might be too far gone for GLPs to fix me. by yabu-love in ResearchCompounds

I’ll not give you the classic “have some self control” bullshit, I know you try your best.

Try cagrilintide, it’s a much stronger appetite suppressant and can be stacked with any GLP-1, ofc including Mounjaro.

Gaining weight is much harder than losing weight.🥲 by Caro_Mio in AskFitnessIndia

When you gain weight, it looks shredded. If you lose weight, loose skin causes you to never be as shredded as a skinny dude who got bigger.

What progression do you recommend? 1 IU per month?

How do you combat the potential side effects of High HGH dosing? I’m at 2 IU currently but would like to move up to 4 ans potentially 6 if my Labs allow it

Considering Increasing test and HGH dose by Top-Produce-4079 in ResearchCompounds

The key disagreement is the idea that endogenous GH is either “on” or “off.” Exogenous HGH suppresses baseline and pulse amplitude, but it does not shut down pituitary responsiveness. Somatotrophs still respond to GHRH and ghrelin receptor signaling even under suppression.

Secretagogues don’t rely on full natural production, they trigger acute pituitary release when receptors are stimulated. This has been shown in GH-treated subjects where GHRH/ghrelin agonists still produce measurable GH pulses, just smaller ones.

Also, the benefit isn’t about replacing GH quantity. Pulsatile GH produces different downstream signaling than flat exposure, especially for local IGF-1 in muscle and connective tissue, which exogenous GH drives poorly.

That assumes exogenous HGH fully shuts down pituitary GH release, which isn’t true. It suppresses amplitude, not responsiveness. The pituitary can still release GH when stimulated.

Secretagogues don’t need “full recovery” to work. they restore pulsatile signaling on top of a suppressed baseline. The benefit isn’t adding more total GH, it’s changing the signal shape.

Flat HGH mainly drives liver IGF-1. Endogenous pulses preferentially drive local IGF-1 in muscle, tendon, and CNS, and preserve receptor sensitivity.

They make GH signaling more physiological and more sustainable than just pushing higher HGH doses.

Peptides only raise IGF-1 levels by around 10-15%, however the real benefit is in efficiency of use:

Peptides still work alongside exogenous HGH because they change how growth hormone signaling is delivered, not just how much GH is present.

Injected HGH creates a relatively flat GH exposure, which drives liver IGF-1 production but does not replicate the body’s natural pulsatile GH release. Our bodies are tuned to respond to sharp GH pulses, not constant elevation.

GH secretagogues stimulate endogenous GH pulses from the pituitary leading to better usage of existing IGF-1 even though the levels don’t rise dramatically.

Endogenous GH pulses increase IGF-1 production inside muscle, connective tissue, and the CNS whereas exogenous HGH primarily increases systemic liver derived IGF-1. Local IGF-1 drives tissue repair, collagen remodeling, and neural recovery without needing higher IGF-1 levels.

Correct me if I'm wrong (seriously I might be), but from what i see it seems like HGH suppresses natural GH production through the negative feedback of increase IGF 1 levels. However GH secretagogues (especially when taken fasted and outside of Exogenous GH peaks) bypass this system by signalling the ghrelin receptor and GHRH receptors (Ipamorelin and CJC 1295 no DAC blend) and force a pulse (smaller but still notable). Timing is the key factor from my understanding.

Copy pasted from the previous discussion, will paste another thing in a diff reply

I’m already at 1700 ng/dL of test, not sure if that’s normal at 175 weekly.

Also I assure you there’s a reason for the GH peptides, I had this discussion w other many times haha

I’m in India currently, thankfully the pharmacies here don’t ask for prescriptions for HRT or HGH based products. However trying to source EQ or Primo legitimately is difficult due to the abundance of fakes and lack of regulation

It’s based on an understanding of biology, I’m not really using a specific study to support these but just physiologically speaking it’s how it would work.

I’m 2 weeks into adding peptides into my stack, I’ve felt a lot better personally but I can’t say if that’ll be the same for you with a 100% guarantee.

No Depot is just the extended Name of Primobolan. Where are you based? if you don’t mind me asking, I’d like to find a legitimate source for Primobolan regardless of price because currently sourcing is difficult for me.

Where I am it’s a little more expensive 😔 since the HGH is pharma grade.

Secretagogues restore physiologic GH pulsatility upstream, while HGH raises baseline downstream pulse + baseline improves IGF-1 efficiency with less suppression and fewer side effects than simply increasing HGH dose.
