Tesamorelin Research Dosing Protocol
-
I’ve been taking Tesamorelin for 2 weeks—1 mg during the first week and 2 mg at night during the second week. I inject it about 30 minutes before bed, with no food for at least 3 hours beforehand.
Since starting it, my nighttime heart rate has increased. My average resting heart rate used to be around 60, but recently it’s been 86, 70, and 69. My stress levels have been very high, I’m not getting any REM sleep, and I’m having trouble sleeping overall.
I know that this is an evening Peptide, but would AM hour work better maybe? I could pause for a couple of days and see if my heart rate and sleep normalize also.@lancerlot23 Any update on how this went? Researching Reta and Im +10 bpm, with the same negative results you mention. Last thing i need is more BPM's!

Great summary.
One thing I would add is that monitoring IGF-1 during longer research protocols can be useful since individual responses vary. I also found this Tesamorelin research overview helpful for comparing dosing protocols and cycle lengths: https://peptidescostarica.net/tesamorelin-costa-rica/ -

So my metabolic stacks up like this now.
Tesa 500mcgs-1mg daily
Reta 2mg wkly
5-amino 1mg, Slu-pp .500mcgs every other day
Utilizing MOTSC 1-2mg NAD 10-20mg every other day from my mitochondrial stack.
Wolverine, , epitholine, ss-31 and LL-37 1mg each every other day on the background for support, repair and immunity.
All these stacks can be stacked different. They all support each the one way or another. -

@EXTROPIAN If you haven't tried Pinealon its worth trying for great sleep. I am just cycling off and going to try DSIP. My sleep scores are through the roof and they were horrible before I started
@Stevepep Oh I'm sure it's good but I never had any trouble getting some good rest. I REM even in my naps. You set your phone alarm and just take notes. I wake up on time and all my agendas are notes. Just let go and sleep. Pineolon is in my Neuro future stack. Semax and Selank are doing me wonders right now.

I’ve run Tesa for 16 weeks while I was waiting for my HGH test results. It did start to make my hands numb after week 10. I was running 4mgs every morning at 5am the last 6 weeks. Definitely less water retention than 3mg of GH daily.

@jimmy4407th Dial tesa down and be patient. The stuff is is strong even at 1mg. Well for me it is. Water retention, inflammation, tingling... That's you body telling you to chill.
Your body has your best interest. It is constantly keeping you alive regardless what you do to it. Be patient and listen to it. -

@Neil-McCauley The reason I am even doing Tesa is because I have a kit with one vial reconstituted. It was from a CJC+Ipa no dac and tesa stack I was going to run. I had the local histamine reaction from CJC+Ipa that I couldn't tolerate for a daily dose. I kept my tesa and here I am. There has been good results from a Reta/tesa stack. I'm been running Reta for a while and now running Tesa.

If Tesa 600mcg has improved deep and REM sleep and giving some fluid retention on feet, should
assume it's working on reducing fat too?Or should
go to 1mg and beyond? Rat started just about 3 weeks ago and gradually upped from 400mcg to 600mcg. Rat is not very overweight, but rat's lipids aren't optimal hinting liver and visceral fat (Skinny Fat kindaa situation). -

I got writers lock ,now some mid back stiffness and some dysesthesia. I had to dial it back to 600mcgs. Pros it has suppressed my appetite a lil more on top of reta. I am trimming slowly. This one I have to watch for though. I don't mind, it gives me an extra week with a 10mg vial. I am about finding the lowest most effective dose and patients. If the symptoms persist I'll dialed it down even more.

I have a good friend that was on 2mg a night. She started getting tingling in her hands. She back it down to 1.5mg and it was better, but still had some tingling. She is going to back it down to 1mg and see if that gets rid of the side effects.
But the funny thing is she was on 2mg for months with no problems. She is pissed because she gets great sleep with Tesa/IPA. -

I believe the recommended doses are 1.28mg for WR and 1.4mg for SV.

Didn't know there was different ones. So what one is the one that we get when we buy it?
