| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | I second this, I did this same stackfor a 3 month cycle (CJC/IPA + Igf1) and it more than doubled my IGF-1 levels (went from 150 to 315).
I’ve since been on a long term Reta + Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin stack. (1MG Tesa/ 250 mcg IPA) per day and my IGF1 has gone back to 190.
Best of luck | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-05 |

| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | Tesamorelin
Im planning on taking tesamorelin to gain muscle and lose some very stubborn abdominal fat. Can anyone recommend what they think would be the most effective dosage schedule? TIA | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-05 |
| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | If the goal is fat loss on top of a GLP, tesamorelin usually makes a lot more sense than AOD for most people.
AOD 9604 sounds great on paper, but in the real world it tends to be pretty underwhelming, especially once appetite is already controlled by a GLP like tirz. Most of the benefit people hope for from AOD overlaps with what GLPs are already doing, so the “stack” often doesn’t feel additive. | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-05 |
| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | You may want to cycle 3 months on 1 month off. To allow your receptors to recover a bit, continuous use without cycling can lead to it becoming less effective over time (something like 20-30% less).
Sermorelin was my entry into the world of peptides and it’s been good but I had to slog through a lot of bs when it comes to other compounds. I tend to stick to things that have at least some human | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-04 |
| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | Pair it with Ipamorelin and you’ve got a good combo.
May also want to look into Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin. Tesamorelin is specifically prescribed for targeting visceral fat. Clinical trials ran it at 2mg per day for a year with very few people reporting any negatives. | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-04 |

| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | Any feedback on stacking Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin?
From my research, I've been seeing that stacking Tesa/Ipa (Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin) is more effective than stacking CJC-1295/Ipa (CJA-1295 + Ipamorelin).
Additionally, Anela has mentioned several times that she prefers Tesa/Ipa over CJC/Ipa.
Has anyone ran this stack and have any feedback they can share? Was it worth it?

| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | Did I ruin my Tesamorelin?
Hi Everyone, been researching peptides for a few weeks now and just reconstituted a vial of Tesamorelin. I forgot to put air into my vial first, so when I inserted the bac water, it all squirted right in. It was at an angle, if that makes any difference, lol. Everything dissolved, and it looks fine, but I wanted to hear other people's experiences. I saw the Janoshik | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-03 |
| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | I started on prescription Semorelin and it barely did anything. Igf-1 went from 202 to 226. I switched to 2mg Tesamorelin 600 mcg Ipamoralin 5 days a week. Igf-1 went to 426. After a couple of months of that I backed off to 1mg/300mcg. Really helped me drop visceral fat from 3 lbs to 1 lb and to lose weight without losing lean tissue. | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-03 |
| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | Why would anyone use just Ipamoralin for anything? I started of with 2mg day Tesamorelin and 600mcg Ipamoralin 5 days a week for about 6 months. IGF-1 was 426. I dropped back to 1mg/300mcg the last 6 months. | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-03 |

With GH secretagogues it actually very simple. If pair 1 GHRP (ipamorelin, haxarelin, GHRP-2 and 6) with a GHRH (tesamorelin, CJC-1295, mod gfr 1-29 (cjc no DAC), sermorelin)
Use 1 combo and stick to it. | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-02 |

I’m on .3mg Sermorelin 5on/2off slowly working my way up to .5mg. First vials of Ipa and Tesa are on the way.
I’d like to run .5mg Serma+.25mg IPA at night before bed. Then run 1mg Tesa +.25mg Ipa in the morning fasted. Anyone running a similar stack and doing it differently? Thank you in advance. | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-02 |
| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | How did you measure how much effect the tesamorelin and ghrp-2 had on muscle growth? Compared to it naturally occurring from food, protein and progressive overload? | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-01 |
| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | CJC-1295 and Tesamorelin are duplicative in this stack, choose one. I’d say Tesa because at 2mg per day there is lots of clinical evidence on the efficacy plus visceral fat targeting. | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-01 |
| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | I don’t think there are any peptides that are any good for growing muscles. If it was me I’d use testosterone or a SARM like Ostarine. I’ve not used any of the others apart from things like Tesamorelin and Sermorelin and found them both to do nothing apart from getting hungry with now muscle or strength gains. | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-01 |

| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | Yeah I’ve noticed a better sleep score on my Oura ring on days I take it. 5 on, 2 off.
I have been eating more cause I’ve been lifting a lot and am in the middle of a big body recomp (supplemented with Test Cyp/Deca and BPC-157/TB-500 for recovery), but the Tesamorelin has made it harder to maintain a reasonable deficit (Tirzepatide super responder). Just how it works with elevated IGF-1 levels. | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-01 |
| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | Tesamorelin has been great for me at night. I’m only doing like 750mcg, but have noticed a sleep difference. Only thing is that I’m also in Tirzepatide, and I feel like the Tesamorelin has slightly increased my appetite.
I was thinking about CJC1295+Ipamorelin, maybe one of these days mainly because I’m obsessed with injecting myself with new stuff lol | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-01-01 |

I’ve reconstituted multiple vials of Tesamorelin for research - and I’ve used three different bac waters. Two were from my supplier (different “batches”) and one was Hospira.

| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | Tesamorelin best for visceral fat reduction?
AI tells me that Tesamorelin is best to reduce visceral fat. I have lost around 38 pounds from calorie restriction but I think I have lost muscle as I still have a big abdomen/upper diaphragm area so I think I still have a lot of visceral fat. Looking for something to help reduce visceral fat and hope to drop another 20 pounds (or more). I'm 5'8", 191 | COMMUNITY | — | 2025-12-30 |
| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | CJC1295 and Tesamorelin maybe redundant for you. I’ve run both and Tesa is much better at visceral fat. Really good pairing with Ipamorelin as well.

| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | You could also consider Tirzepatide - it's cheaper than Reta and also typically has a lot fewer gastro effects compared to Sema.
Tesamorelin is good, but mainly targets visceral fat, and will be more noticeable once your overall body fat is lower. A GLP med will give you a lot more bang for the buck. | COMMUNITY | — | 2025-12-28 |
