About to start Sermorelin, what to expect?

expecting muscle gain, fat loss

Mainly scared of the cell growth thing and cancer. Would like to know I’m really in a risk. Are results any good with this peptide? Heard Tesa Is stronger but riskier

I work out regularly as well.

Following. This has been on my radar as well. I even searched for it recently with my regular US warehouse vendors (that are still around) G and BFF and it didn't look like the carried it

I started it a week ago. Many people say there is water retention for the first couple of weeks but I haven’t experienced it yet. I did start with a very low dose to check reaction. I do 150mcg Sun-Thur, 30min before bed. On those days I sleep like a rock!

How old are you? Theoretically, Sermorelin MAY increase IGF-1 by UP TO 30% in men and 23% in women. You would not definitively know your levels without a blood test for those specific markers, but we can make assumptions.

Up into your 20s, you produce high numbers because it’s there to help you grow, so lets estimate 700 ng/mL just for reference. After age 40 it drops significantly! We will estimate
90 ng/mL or lower. 30% of 90 isn’t enough to see any changes over something like a 16 week cycle.

Unless you are relatively young, I just try to encourage people to look into HGH. Its benefits for anti-aging, skin, muscle mass, bone strength, etc. are phenomenal. Additionally, as a general rule, any supplements, peptides or hormones that help build muscle can accelerate cancer and/or tumor growth.

There is a lot of demonizing of HGH because people abuse it, and the people who generally abuse it are young and don’t need it, so their organs grow and screw everything up. Especially their hearts.

As much as I believe that moderation is for cowards, you should definitely play it safe with Growth Hormone, but it’s an amazing tool. 1-2iu daily on an empty stomach about an hour before bed to start. 3-4iu to really build muscle. A lot of bodybuilders go above those numbers, but they have the life expectancy of a Great Dane.

Expect flatuence and better sleep

I don't think there is much research data regarding the health risks. Best thing is get a full blood work up done including PSA and IGF-1. It will give you a baseline. If everything is good it may make you feel better. Take note of your IGF-1 number before you start then when you finish your cycle. Your IGF-1 levels can indicate the effects the growth secretagogues are having on your body.

Again your age is a big factor.

I'm over 60+ tried all of the popular secretagogues. None had a noticeable effect. Most made my sleep worse. Ipamorelin though will stimulate your appetite for sure. I was told by a health coach at my age the only few things that I could expect results were HGH and or test. Im not ready for either but on the fence with HGH.

Sermorelin and tesamorelin both made it through FDA approval; the risks are known and found to be well tolerated. Personally, I think tesamorelin is great and pairs extremely well with ipamorelin.

Starting low and going slow on serm is a smart move for your risk assessment. See how you like it; some people I know just feel hungry on it, some sleep better, some felt nothing. Mileage varies, just like any drug. Let us know how it goes.
