Hi, im in my fitness journey and after researching all the peptides for losing fat and maintain muscles. I'm a curious about Tesa vs CJC-1295. I learned that they work on the same pathways but seems that Tesa have more evidences for reducing visceral fat. I want to see if you have some experiences to tell ?

There is a huge difference in price between the 2 and i'm also curious if the higher price of the Tesamorelin is really worth the benefice.

Also a lot of people stack cjc and ipamorelin toghether for the synergetics effect but Tesamorelin seems to not always be paired with Ipamorelin. For someone who wants to maintain the most muscles possible when going to single digit bodyfat, is someone have try all the combinations possibles of these 3 peptides and seen any differences?
 
I'm just a week into CJC1295/IPA nightly and my sleep has improved (running Epitalon too, so not sure which is helping most). Going to pivot to half doses night and morning (fasted pre-workout) in two weeks and see where it goes.

I went the CJC/IPA route primarily due to my prediabetic stage (pre-Reta). I'm looking to bump up my low IGF-1 test scores and see what the rest of my hormones look like in a couple months. Hopefully, body composition changes will tell me I'm on the right track. Good luck.
 
I'm interested in this too. Currently ordered cjc/ipa as I'm taking enclomiphene so i expect my igf1 levels to tank. Will test igf1 before starting cjc/ipa of course

nice let us know after a few weeks, just the energy boost from better sleep would probably help gym sessions.
 
Depends on your goals, Tesa comes with more side effects, advanced healthy routine working out minimum 3 days per week, walking 10k steps per day, very dialled in diet, CJC is defiantly more user friendly to begin with, use Tesa when fat is 20% or below for peak changes

CJC No Dac + IPA, Main Goals: Improve metabolism and fat loss

Tesa, Main Goals: Reduce abdominal fat

I'm approximatively 15% bodyfat right now and pretty dialed in on my gym routine and nutrition. I'm counting my calories and do between 5 and 6 gym sessions per week. my goal is between 8-10% bodyfat. Now i'm on Reta but i'm thinking about my maintenance phase after the cut when i'll go off reta.

the lower the bodyfat, the harder it get to maintain muscle mass...

Then you are already 1 step ahead, Tesa will do wonders when everything is dialled in, and you seem to have that amazing mentality!
 
Been running GHRP-2/Tesamorelin for week or so, looking to get that last bit of fat off to hit 10% body fat, while fighting a plateau. (I store my fat in my chest and viscerally).

It is really to soon to see if anything transpires from it though.

No increased appetite from the GHRP-2, which is why I guess most people avoid it, even though it can be a bit stronger than the alternatives.

100mcg/1MG. And, titrating the Tesa. up to 2MG on Monday.
 
I love CJC No DAC/IPA. I don't know my baseline IGF1, but I am sitting at 405, I am in my early 30's. I imagine they are more effective the younger you are as you are already going to have a reasonable GH pulse. I am also black and similar to testosterone I see the evidence suggests we tend to have strong GH signaling (seen the NBA?)

I am however curious to try HGH, namely because I have 4 kits of HGH sitting in my freezer. Not sure if it's worthwile though.

I think people underestimate the visceral fat reduction capabilities of Reta (and tirz too but to a lesser degree than reta)

Tesa is touted as this VF reducing miracle peptide when it's just been studied for such and approved by FDA for it. Heck for all we know, CJC could be better than Tesa in VF reduction but the studies are just not there.

In short, the best peptide for VF reduction is literally just taking Reta and continuing to do so

Thats why im curious about everyone experience with it. to see if someone actually compared the 2.

I think the same, we know Tesamorelin for visceral fat because he was studied for that. but maybe CJC do the same but was not studied for that purpose...

Dont shut down your natural production fam. You're too young

The below results are from my indirect calormetry, I am on CJC/IPA and Retatrutide. My experience has been the fact has been melting off, as you can see my body is running at 100% fat burning, meaning all my energy expenditure is purely fat. I am not doing keto or anything either.

I can see how curiosity killed the cat. It will bounce back anyways. I am more after the better recovery people tout.

how did you test those things about your resting metabolism and fat burning % ?

I to was wondering that that would be something i would do

It's called indirect calorimetry I am sure if you do a search a sports clinic in your area will do it. You essentially blow in to a machine and uses your carbon dioxide to calculate how much energy your body is using.
 
I made a more comprehensive post about my BMR calculation with the indirect cal, it keeps getting knocked back and won’t post as it’s being flagged as “spam”. Any admin/mods able to help me? It would be useful for a lot of people IMO.

LOL, I'd be wondering if their machine might be out of calibration or something else might be wrong there. I'd assume those results are estimated by measuring your respiratory quotient. Seems less likely that your body is metabolising 100% fat and 0% carbohydrate and more likely that their machine is screwed up.

HGH should not be stored in freezer.

Not a single issue at Meso with storing HGH in the freezer. The ones at Meso that are scared to freeze HGH often don’t freeze any peptides. It would probably blow their minds that some people freeze reconned tirz and even reconned reta.

I store most of my frozen lyophilized peptides in a HydraPeak or Thermos food jar. I don't have a manual defrost freezer, but using Thermos-like insulation is just as good.

The reason I prefer the freezer now for everything is for preventing bacterial growth and I never know for sure what year I will use all the vials in a kit, especially with other peptides competing for attention.
