Responding to a few questions here:
Regarding Peptides, I’ve tried the usual suspects although I haven’t done related bloodwork. I find the short-acting peptides such as the Ipam/Mod 1-29 combo to be impractical for me. While they may be best in theory, they are hard to coordinate around meal-timing given the apparent need to inject frequently and away from the fed state. I accidentally ordered CJC1295 w/DAC and I ended up using it by injecting once per week since the long-acting compounds create a very unnatural stress on the body’s normal pattern of GH release. It had a very noticeable sleep benefit so I am going to try it again injecting every 10 days or two weeks. My goal is to minimize/eliminate nagging injuries and to minimize visceral fat. The reports of injury-healing from brief periods of GH use are very compelling and those arguing against it have yet, from what I have seen, come up with any alternative that even comes close. BPC/TB500 is probably the next closest thing. I would think use of any length or dosage of GH that creates elevated insulin is almost certainly not good unless one is recovering from a major injury.
Regarding Rapamycin, I use ADC. I have never had, or heard of a major problem with what they sell. Hopefully
Defy will start to offer it soon in which case I will switch to them. Also, I take it the night before I do my weekly 24hr fast which is also the lowest-intensity part of the week for my activity so that my diet or exercise does not conflict with it.
The prominent influencers who use Rapamycin usually dose weekly however I err on the side of minimum effective dose and dose every other week. There have been several comment threads on the roguehealthandfitness blog with the experiences of users there.
