What’s your Tesamorelin experience?
-
My rat is almost done with my 6 weeks of CJC/Ipa - which I liked. I’m thinking about doing the switch to Tesa. And would love to hear your experience or feedback with your research.
My Hume scale states my visceral fat is at “8” on their index scale, then says “low” next to it. I recently heard you want a “6” or less. Also feeling frustrated at that little pooch at the low belly that’s so hard to shift. I’m not overweight but my body fat percentage is 31.4%. Much higher than I want it to be.
Female rat, closing in on her 40’s soon, main goal is to lose fat and body recomp, but mainly get that fat percentage down! I have a great stack going, and seeing results in lowering body fat % slowly but surely, so curious if this would be a nice addition.
Did you gain water weight? If so when did it go away? How was your sleep? Joint pain or stiffness? Where did you get it from if you loved it? I’d love to hear it all!

I finished CJC +Ip and am going Tesa + Ip once the Ip pathway has time to clear.
From my research Tesa hits a different pathway than CJC so your rat wouldn't need a break if there is no Ip... IN THEORY of course, doyourownresearch. -
I love tesa, I have definitely been dropping visceral fat. You have to take it at least 2 hours after the last time you ate, right before bed. It helps me sleep. I take 1.5mg with .25mg Ipa.
I tried the CJC/Ipa, wasn’t for me…Tesa is a long cycle, I am at 4 months, but will probably do it year round. Plan on at least 6 months minimum.. -
In my limited experience, so far I prefer CJC/Ipa, still waiting on results from Tesa. I have been using a Hume scale for about a year now. My starting visceral fat index was 11. Post Tirz, it was down to 7. Through a 2 month cycle of CJC/Ipa and now 6 weeks into Tesa, it is still 7. Not sure what a reasonable expectation is. 7 is good. Should it be lower? Idk. I don’t find that they help me sleep, or at least I can’t attribute it to that. A number of lifestyle changes have led to better sleep.
I am not that familiar with considerations specific to female researchers except to say all researchers should benefit from a consistent weightlifting routine, hitting your protein numbers to prevent muscle loss, and ofc, hit that creatine hard.
Beyond that, how much you want to spend on supplements is up to you.

I have only used Tes/Ipa. I did a 12 week cycle last fall/winter. My visceral fat dropped significantly. Unfortunately I don't remember the stats and I don't have the print out with me now. I used 1mg/300mcg respectively fasted before bed. I am now on week 6 of a 16 week cycle of the same. I do get some joint stiffness and pain but it isn't a show stopper. There is some water retention but it isn't too bad. I am hoping that goes away soon. I know it will for sure once my cycle is complete. My deep sleep numbers have improved according to my sleep tracker which helps with my workout recoveries. I love Tes/Ipa.

Peptide response is very individualized, but if your visceral fat is already low, I personally wouldn't spend the extra money on tesa.
I've 'researched' cycles of:- tesa/ipa : (mediocre sleep compared to the other two, some inc water retention, no joint pain, same body comp results as the others)
- cdc-no dac/ipa : (initial flushing/inc HR after inj, mildly less sleep quality, basically same body comp as ser/ipa)
- sermorelin/ipa : (supposedly the 'weakest' but my personal favorite - best sleep, good body comp overall)
Not sure what other peptides you are researching but I have had amazing results with tirzepatide in terms of weight loss/body comp.

You may take a blood test for IGF-1 to see how your current protocol affects you. Usually 120 to 200 ng/mL is the normal range with about 160 to be optimal. Your base line may be 120-130, you would need to measure it outside of your research cycles. If you get it a lot over 200 it may be too much and have side effects for your health, probably something in the range of around 200 is OK for the protocol temporarily.
