I just had labs taken for lgf1 and received my score. It’s about a third for my age. I’d like some info on those who tracked their igf1 level before and after usage of either one of the following cjc/ipa , tesa, sema, Igf-lr3 , hgh. Time, dosage, cycle, and what increase or decrease in your score. I know cases are gonna vary widely but would like a gauge on percentage of increase.
 
I'll be getting my next blood test in three weeks. I had one done months ago before I started using HGH, and now I want to see the change in my IGF1.

Blood test next Monday after 8 weeks on CJC/Ipa, 5 days nightly fasted, weekends off. Hoping for a IGF-1 improvement, but will report back either way.

Before starting IgF-1 was 102. After 37 daily doses of 2mg Tesa/ 525mcg Ipa I cycled off due to fluid retention and numb tingling arms and hands. Retested at that point and my IGF-1 was 96!!! Went down. The Z score was -0.1.

I’m not sure if my “fasted state” was adequate or my cycle was long enough to bring about GH increase. BTW I’m almost 75 and have resumed another round of Tesa/ipa. However now I’m dosing in the AM. No fluid problems so far.

What are your numbers?

Baseline/zscore: 188/.7

10 weeks of HGH 2iu daily

Baseline/zcore: 294/1.8
 
O.5mg tesamorelin, z-score +0.9

1mg tesamorelin, z-score +2.5

Time to back off. Saving so much money using Tesa over hgh.

I didn’t receive a z score but I got a 147 ng/ ml 46year old male. I have to call them to get the z score.
 
50 days 2 mg Tesamorelin AM fasted

Got results last week.

IGF-470

Z-score +3.0

Took a much-needed break as the carpal tunnel and joint pain were pretty annoying.

Flushed out 4lbs of water in 6 days. My best weight loss week since the start. Down 102lbs. BMI is finally back to 25. Probably last seen in the 9th grade 😀 . Results achieved. Will run again by the end of summer at a slightly lower dose.
 
I'm going to get started on this in a week or so when my Tesa/Ipa gets delivered. I did a panel through goodlabs and found my IGF z-score was -1.0. As someone who has been lifting 4 times a week for years and seeing less results than I would have hoped for, I'm hoping that this makes a difference.

Last year I focused on bulking/lifting and was able to get my lifts up to 400DL/350SQ/250BP at around 195lbs BW. Currently I've cut back to 157lbs and haven't tested maxes but I've probably lost a bit of strength.

I'm planning on running 1mg Tesa/. 3mg Ipa daily for about 10 weeks (have a long trip in August). Currently on 3mg Reta/wk and will lower to 2mg.

Would love to get IGF to ~1.0 z-score. If I can keep body weight around the same but recomp I'd be really happy with that.

How are you saving money ? Tesa 20mg around 25.00 and HGh 36iu around 15.0!!!

What was your starting Igf ? Age?
 
Late 30's male. This was what I got out of it over 30 days of use.

Doses shown were generally split up 2 or 3 times a day, fasted.

I saw about 50% increase in IGF1 levels.

Curious about that as well. I'm seeing around $1/mg on Tesa and $.50/iu on HGH.
 
Started sermorelin pm for sleep. I think 350 mcg. Ended up adding Tesa (titrated up to 1.5 mg) and .3 ipa in the AM fasting. About 100 days in, tested ifg-1 for the first time (experiencing some slight sides) and had a z-score of 2.6. Mid 40's male. Worked well. Cycled off for rest and about to re-start.

It's very easy, once you focus on z-score and not mgs or ius. Like most, you're focusing on the wrong thing. If I want to keep z-score > +2, then 20mg Tesa will last me 20 days. But 36ius will only last me 9 days because I need at least 4ius to get my z-score that high on exogenous gh.

Dose gh peptides based on your response to them, not on a set quantity.

Clearly it’s normal and common knowledge that you need 4iu of HGH to match 1mg of Tesa. Also that curiosity means I’m focused on you “saving so much money” ($1/day).
