Just started blasting these two tonight. Went straight to 2mg of Tesa (like clinical trials) and 250mcg of Ipa (might raise upto 500mcg) but have read mixed stuff on the saturation dosage of Ipa.

If anyone has any experience with these two, running a similar protocol or completely different, let us all know! Thanks in advance!!

My RS began running exactly that combined protocol and dosage 5 on and 2 off since August 1 on top of 7.5 Tirz weekly when it was observed that RS was beginning to lose muscle instead of stubborn VAT.

RS's waist in that amount of time (8/1 - 10/1) has gone from 44.5" to 40.375" with muscle gain if anything. The majority of weight/bloat/fat has/was been visceral fat. RS did not have a lot of fat elsewhere.

CAVEAT (so I don't get creamed - flame avoidance): there is no scientific basis for going 5 on and 2 off. That just seems to work for my RS. YMMV
CAVEAT (to be clear): I make no claims that tesa/ipa has anything to do with RS's VAT loss as tesa was only clinically proven to help specific HIV patients - a population that the RS does not belong too.
CAVEAT (just because): Researcher has yet to observe if VAT returns post current tesa/ipa cycle which RS is scheduled to complete and take a break from in November (also no basis in research studies - this is my ad hoc milestone and measuring marker). Clinical trials reflect that is likely. Adjustments will be made as required.

Ran similar protocol for 8 weeks 3 times inpast 2 years. The only thing I would recommend is don't be worried about initial water weight gain. I've gained4-7 pounds, but once off cycle dropped it within a week and waistline was smaller. Good luck
 
And as soon as it began it has ended. Tesamorelin treats me just like cjc, fucked up sleep and itchy spot. Guess I'm just in that group of people it affects.

Got 9 vials of tesamorelin and ipamorelin for sale lol

FWIW: I found, and you probably already know this, that 2-3 hours of fasting before and after pinning has been recommended (for a different reason) and my RS did find that greatly minimized, if not negated, sides. ymmv
 
Did my first tesa/ipa/cjc last night. Slept really well (for the first time in weeks). Got an itchy slightly red ISR that lasted about 40 minutes. It's an annoyance, but I can probably deal with being annoyed. We'll see how it goes over time.
 
I gained a lot of water weight on a similar protocol. It seemed just lurk in my feet and hands. It was annoying. The water did come off once I stopped. Would I do it again. I’m not sure. I plan on checking out other stuff before revisiting
 
Yep, I was definitely fasted before don't want it to not work or fuck up my A1c. GHRH and secretagogues just aren't for me. However, I might try actual hgh at a later time.
 
Second dose of tesa/ipa/cjc last night. Only minor itchiness for 20-30 minutes. Slept really well again. Still too early to know if it's doing anything else for me. I'm still deciding if I'm going to take the weekend off or run it for a full cycle without skipping.
 
Follow-up from yesterday: I decided to run through the weekend. Sleep was still better than prior to starting the tesa/ipa/cjc. Not sure if I'm starting to get the water retention, but my weight was up a tick this morning.

There's still an ISR of itching and minor redness. Someone (on here I think) suggested using a massage gun on the site. I tried that last night and the itching went away (and didn't come back) in well under a minute of using the massager. Not sure what that's actually doing, but if it works, I'm going to stick with it.
