That was quite hard to work out what the peptides were from just the abbreviations, I think I worked it out except W-V ( ?wolverine ?) I cannot find W-V on a standard vendor list.
I would agree that from what I have read of the research, AOD probably does not work, so probably not much point in it. Some of the research talked about it killing off fat cells, which is actually something you do not want, as it can worsen insulin resistance and could cause patchy fat cell loss, so it is either a possibly bad idea or it does not work.
DSIP, I have not read much on.
Again from what I have read KLOW has a bunch of very interesting sounding peptides in it, which do have effects, but most of them have not been tested in humans, and it has never been tested as a mixture even in animals. The idea of taking a untested peptide that alters the activity of several thousand different genes in various tissues, just sounds intrinsically risky. My basic logic on it is - if it did what people claim, which is to increase growth of connective tissue in ligaments and in the skin, it could also increase growth of connective tissue in vital organs like the liver or heart ( cirrhosis or heart failure ), which is really something you do not want. So if it works it is dangerous and if it doesn't then there is no point. I cannot see an obvious error in my logic. But trying to argue against KLOW or GLOW seems pointless, after reading hundreds or thousands of posts saying it fixed my bad shoulder or similar, it has been repeated so many times that people just believe it works, just because they have seen it said so many times, regardless of the underlying science.
The secretagogue/gh/ghrelin agonist combo , to me sounds more complicated than it needs to be, Ghrelin agonists can increase weight and appetite, which might be something people want on a bulking cycle, but not otherwise. The only definite disadvantage of using 3 drugs to do the same job instead of one is higher chance of side effects and allergic reactions. Assuming an average of 1 to 5% for a generalised skin rash type allergic response, it is not a completely irrelevant or trivial issue, but not super likely either. But if it was as high as 5% which is not at all uncommon then 3 x that is 15%, rather than 5%.
Any or all of those can cause adverse effects relating to GH or IGF-1, I think the doses are reasonable, but getting IGF-1, blood sugar and hb1ac checked as well as basic cardiovascular risk factors like lipids and bp are a good idea, even if you are not severely obese and obviously at high risk, you are getting to the age where getting that checked out is a good idea anyway. And look up and know what side effects are possible, just so you know and so you are not surprised if you start getting fluid retention or carpal tunnel syndrome.
I would imagine the combination of reta and exercise are doing 90-95% of the work in achieving what you are looking for.
