Next week I will be finishing a cycle of tesamorilin/ipmorelin which I am very happy with. My next journey might be to repair my mitochondria. I am in my early 60s so my guess is my mitochondria are in rough shape. I have a ton of questions about this subject. I am on high dose tirz (maintenance) and I am at my target weight. I work out every day. Swimming, hiking, weight lifting. I might be in the best shape I have every been. I have mots-c from sry, ss31 is on the way from Jeep. I recently learned I need to start nad+ first. I will order that soon. I also have 5‐amino 1mq if needed. My questions are:
how do I know my mitochondria need repair?
What can I expect when they are repaired or optomized?
Will my swim times improve?
Will I get stronger?
Do I need more than NAD+, SS31 and mots-c?
What should a cycle look like?
I would love to hear your thoughts and hear about your experiences.
I just finished the following NAD, SS31, Mots-C protocol. I took my last MOTS-C shot. Yay!!!!!
I was able to answer most of my questions:
1. I guess my mitochondria needed repair because the protocol helped me.
2. ...
3. My swim times did not improve.
4. I am stronger but I think it is from weight lifting while using Tessa/Ipa but the protocol most likely gave me a bit extra energy for longer more frequent workouts.
5. Still wondering this.
6. I used the protocol that I attached.
When I first started the NAD+ I did not notice anything till I got up to 100 mg. All I noticed was a slight flushing feeling In my chest 5 min after the 100mg.
My first shot of SS-31 I took after a long 14 hour work day. About 10 min after the shot my mind became sharper than it had been in a long time. The feeling of intense fatigue from working physically all day was gone. I was still tired but not destroyed like I was before the shot. Unfortunately that was the only time I felt any of the SS-31 shots.
Somewhere in the middle of the protocol I was traveling Internationally and I decided to kill of the last 250 mg of NAD+ in 1 shot so I wouldn't worry about TSA returning to the usa. It was a mistake and I don't recommend it. I felt an uncomfortable rush and tightness in my chest that lasted about 4 hours.
My first 2 Mots-c shots stung and left a welt that lasted a week or so. I started diluting it with 1ml per 5 mg. I also rigorously massaged the area after the injection. I did not have any more long lasting swelling or stinging at the injection site.
Somewhere near the beginning of the Mots-c part of the protocol I noticed my physical reaction times had improved quite a bit. If something fell of the desk or table my hand would instantly dart out and catch it like when I was young. I also started noticing memory improvement and other cognitive improvements. While talking, that word at the tip of my tongue, that before never came started to flow out of my mouth without pause. These changes happened gradually and are still with me today.
Towards the end of the MOTS-c part of the protocol I decided to take the NAD+ before the long physical 14 hour days. I noticed a definite increased amount of energy that comfortably carried me through the long day.
I was hoping for increased physical performance and strength but there was no evidence of it. I was surprised by the cognitive improvements. I hope the improvements stay around now that the protocol is over. I will most likely do it again in the future. I might also take the NAD+ before long work days.
