@abemedina after trying a few vendors over the last year. Ive settled on 2, nexaph and crush. Both offer great pricing/testing and offer kits. Communication and transparency in my experience have been great with both companies. As some have mentioned EZ is good for single vials as you're testing things out. Id say look at crush for single vials as well since you can build 3 or 5 vial kits with a discount added.

They put themselves out there as the most reputable of the bunch, but I'll never buy from them again as they would not produce a CoA for 8 vials I bought. Had to go back and forth for weeks and finally authorized a return and refund after I involved the Peptide Critic himself. Used to have a stellar reputation, now a zero in my world.

I have heard from a practicing MD - peptide researcher that mixing random peptides together as a blend is not ideal and better to be avoided. The reason is that different molecules may demonstrate unwanted interactions with each other, we just don't know enough of chemistry and don't have a research of how they will interact. For example they may stick to each other, block each other, even react chemically. He suggested to use different vials and syringes for each peptide and even spread them in time enough to avoid interaction with each other in the body, unless it is the intended effect that you want. That's what he does with his clients and he has a large clinical practice.

https://peptidedosages.com/peptide-blend-dosages/tesamorelin-5-mg-ipamorelin-5-mg-10-mg-blend-dosage-protocol/ here is a good site that might help you, I would start with the lowest dosage suggestion and go up slowly

Just finished a test vial of Tesa after running CJC/IPA for 12 weeks. Had 10mg from a friend so decided to run 5 day course of the vial. No flushing like CJC (as mentioned above), but after 3rd day, joints started to hurt a bit and scale up 3-4 pounds from water retention. Wasn't a fan...CJC it is for me.....well....GH, really... If you're headed somewhere, just go there...

@ResearchCat said in Order of Operation for Protocol Cycles: Welcome! This is a big topic. My rule #1 is to go slow. Rule #2 is to know what you are researching, why, and what you hope to get out of it. And track results. (Yeah, keep a journal.) Popular peptides often work on one of 3 general interaction pipelines. Josh Holyfield has a good video explaining which is which. It often doesn’t make sense to research 3 different things that all affect the same target. I research Glow for extended periods(2-3 months) while also cycling CJC/Ipa or other GHRH and currently MOTS-C/NAD+ over shorter periods. I think it is probably fine researching epitalon with pretty much anything else, though I usually research it when not running a bunch of other stuff(for no particular reason.) So I guess if you are researching a protocol someone recommended that you trust, you can go ahead and follow that. If you want to see what specific results you get from a particular peptide, the fewer other things involved will help with that. FWIW, I recently cycled off CJC/Ipa(assume no DAC) and GLOW, am currently researching MOTS-C/NAD+, also very low dose Tirz, and in a week or two will begin researching tesa and KLOW. I tend to plan a lot, but in this area I am generally thinking a few months out and make changes when it seems appropriate. For stuff like epitalon that one generally researches 1-2 times a year, I have a mental note that I will run it around June or something. I hope my rambling is helpful. Thanks for the info.

I have both and tried both. My personal opinion is, the Tesa/Ipa is way better then the CJC/Ipa. The CJC/pa made both me and my wife feel like shit, even at only 167mcg/167mcg once a day before bed. At 500mcg/500mcg it made us feel AWFUL. The 167mcg/167mcg did not help with sleep either. The CJC/Ipa cause a hot flushed feeling when you take it, kinda of like MT2. It didn’t help with sleep and the next morning I woke up feeling hung over. That being said, some people like it. Put it this way, I bought a kit from Nexaph (10 vials), I sent one vial out for testing, I mixed one vial and I have 8 vials left. I am just giving the 8 vials away….

@beachfun There are so many variables. I am currently on 2.5mg tirz, while my bride is at 12.5mg. She is plateaued and has some food and booze noise, where i have a little, but am flat - trying to build muscle. Different nutrition and exercise regimens will have a big impact on results, but a lot of doctors are starting to agree that the process of titrating patients to max dose and staying there is more the marketing model(think: OxyContin) than it is good treatment prudence. Most patients should be on the lowest dose possible to get results and minimize side effect while also maintaining good nutrition and an active lifestyle. Not trying to preach or criticize anyone, but I live with this every day.

Just following up on this; I have seen a few places where people are choosing Tesa, Ipa, CJC, or other based on whether it raises cortisol or prolactin. According to what I can find, none of them significantly increases either, though as Commander pointed out, they are wildly different dosing protocols, so it may be that one has somewhat higher effect due to the much larger dose.
