Why do some people run growth hormone releasing peptides instead of HGH?

Real chicks drive stick.

Preach sister!

I cant possibly look worse on gh … can I? Geesh maynot be worth it if these crevices increase haha

Glow will help that out after a few weeks

I look worse on it. No matter what, whether its 2ui or up to 10ui (Opti, QSC, SSA) I get the same amount of water retention which is around 5lbs. My face gets bloaty and jaw line goes from being sharp to faded. Vascularity and muscle separation goes away. Those side effects or are the only reason why I'm even remotely interested in trying pharma.

Well shitake i thought it was supposed to give u the chiseled jaw line?

because the medical establishment has ways of making money on it and their marketing worked

This was sort of the conclusion I came to. All the peptide gurus COULD market stuff like tesamorelin, etc., but couldn’t really push HGH. Seemed like a lot of promoting Rube Goldberg machines when the good old fashioned stuff was best.

You want to cycle off HGH on occasion to avoid immunity issues. That's when these peptides can come in handy

Rube Goldberg machine is a great way to put it... taking a GHRH is like popping Fenugreek and Ashwaganda instead of just using testosterone.

I could be wrong, but I think the chances of the body building an immune response to bioidentical GH (Serostim, etc) is similar to the chances of it doing so for exogenous testosterone.

this thread has me wanting to ditch my HGH and try tesamorelin

It seems to do some interesting things. Especially the bit I've heard about taking it for extended periods can actually permanently upregulate your GH production even after you stop taking it.

like the entire space individual response matters and you'll usually fall into one of two camps

you're going in reverse

I’m primarily taking 2 IU of HGH for its fat-loss benefits and was hoping it would also improve my sleep and recovery. So far, though, I just feel beat up, my arms feel puffy and tight, not in a good way, more like I’d struggle to put on a dress coat. My elbows feel like they’re on the verge of tendinitis, though they still function. I’ll probably finish this kit, but tesamorelin might be more up my alley as described ITT.

It's unlikely 2iu caused this. I let a fart a few hours after injecting 4iu. I'm pretty sure hgh causes gas and bloating. See how that doesn't work?

Well, it’s a heck of a coincidence then, could be overdosed, idk, going to get blood tests soon. Also, rapidly gained weight after starting HGH, even though calories stayed the same and I had already gained a shit ton of weight taking test and NPP.

2iu of hgh can put on a few pounds of water.

 

[songsofpyramids]

I went off HGH completely for 8 weeks now and people are saying i look completely different in the face and that i look 5 years younger. Shit ages you like crazy without you noticing.

This only ever happened to me when I wasn’t drinking enough water and when I was doing higher dose. At 2.8iu my skin looks incredible compared to without it. When I step up to 4-6iu I notice what you’re describing.

I've been wondering for a while why there are so many people using these growth hormone releasing peptides such as CJC+Ipamorelin, GHRP, Tesamorelin etc... over just injecting straight up HGH?

Back in the day when HGH was expensive as hell, people would resort to the peptides, but nowadays with chinese generic hgh being so cheap and available, i don't think it's the case anymore. But yet these peptides are still very popular.

Heck people even called them "poor mans HGH" back in the old days.

I asked ChatGPT about the benefits of growth hormone releasing peptides over HGH:

• More natural secretion pattern:
  GH is normally secreted in pulses, mostly at night. Peptides stimulate this natural pulsatile release. Injecting HGH often creates a flat, supraphysiological spike that doesn’t mimic normal physiology.
• Lower risk of suppression:
  Long-term exogenous HGH can suppress your body’s own GH production and may reduce pituitary function. Peptides usually maintain pituitary responsiveness, so your system is less likely to "shut down."
• Potentially safer metabolic profile:
  Exogenous HGH, especially in higher doses, can increase risks like insulin resistance, carpal tunnel, edema, and potentially accelerate growth of latent cancers. Peptides (at physiological doses) are thought to carry less of this risk because they don’t chronically oversaturate GH/IGF-1 pathways.

Bodybuilding is obviously not a healthy sport, and the more the better, so a lot exogenous HGH makes sense, but let's say you are on TRT and focus on health and longevity. Would these growth hormone releasing peptides be a better option?

From my experience people, and specifically how me and some of the ppl ik think about it.

It’s mainly a lack of knowledge and a fear of doing something that might induce permanent damage or maybe fucking up our endogenous GH, as we didn’t understand it.

As a natural, I had a big fear of HGH and I didn’t understand. I didn’t understand the risks and benefits of HGH so I thought a second best alternative to be safer.

As the thought process was using high doses of Tesa, CJC, Ipa combined, would yield similar results to HGH and maintaining natural GH and not suppressing it. I did get GH serum tests to try and prove the spikes I’m getting and it seemed effective, I do think that the literature might support this, although idk the HGH equivalent to 300mcg Ipa/300mcg CJC-no dac/2mg tesa and a possible use of 25mg mk-677.

But once you gain the knowledge and guidance tbh it’s a no brainer to switch to HGH. Plus GH secretagogues literally cost like 3 times the amount to just run HGH. At the time I was running US based peptides, so paying $67 for a vial of 2mg Tesa. Thankfully I managed to get out of that mindset and use HGH.

Only regret is that I have a kit of Tesa/Ipa/CJC that would last me a year laying around the freezer. Will probably never use it tho.

Course sellers who dropship them instead of quality hgh
