I think I am finally getting HGH and dosing figured out a little. I split my dose AM and PM with a dosage of 1IU or a little over per day. What I am experiencing, is what I have been after for the past 2 years when I started the peptide journey. My Drive and overall physical wellbeing are back, and it is literally like rolling the clock back about 20 years.
The various peptides I cycle have been very helpful, but I think I underestimated the importance of getting the hormones optimized. About 4 months ago I started TRT. My TRT levels were high (930 and 1032 on the tests I took) but my doctor finally let me try it anyway. That helped quite a bit, but when I added the HGH it all clicked finally. I think there is a strong possibility that the HGH may be biggest help. I appreciate everyone's posts about this. Good Stuff

Received my 5th order from Nexaph today. Fast shipping, good prices and documentation and everything seems to be of good quality. I am relatively new to peptides (been lurking about for a couple of years) but I have tried about 10 different vendors and unless I am looking for a specialty item of some kind, they are the only company that it makes sense for me to buy from at this point.
I like their kit pricing, but I'm hoping to get better pricing on the wholesale side. The wholesale pricing doesn't seem to be very good from any of the (reputable) venders.
So overall I am very happy with Nexaph so far.

Ordered 10 vials of Hospira Bac Water from https://peptidetest.com/
2 days after ordering, the company sent me an email detailing a shipping error in which UPS had lost several shipments. Rather than wait on UPS they immediately reshipped another 10 vials. Received order within the next 2 days. After another 2 days I received the original order that was lost as well. I notified them and offered to pay for the additional 10 vials. They again apologized and insisted I keep the second order for my trouble.
Great company to deal with, nice people that do the right thing. It's nice to see that !!!

I don't feel the need to have additional testing done when I order from them.
The stuff I use has enough info on it. The major knock against them is they tend to overfill and that doesn't bother me.

@Eleanor
I find that whether I use pens or syringes, it's nice to have 3 different sizes of them.
Generally, if your injecting larger volumes, you will prefer a longer needle to avoid it leaking back out. The videos that @randy has are excellent and the pens available from the store work very well. Pens are the way to go unless you're injecting large volumes of SS31 or glutathione or similar. Pens work great for everything; I just don't like refilling them as often as required for the larger dose items.

I recently ordered from penguin too and was very pleased with what I received. I only ordered from them because they are one of the few vendors that carries HGH, and I wanted to try it. It was good quality and Janoshik had current test on the batch I bought from. They sent a peptide vial holder cooler thing and a bunch of swag. If I decide to try HGH again will definitely order from them.

@iMemphis18
Penguin Peptides carries it. Tried some and it was good, testing looked alright too.
I was afraid of the side effects and only did some small doses to compare to some of the HG releasing peptides. It does seem cleaner and stronger in that regard though. Similar to IPA and TESA but more intense.

@Randy
Agree with These two and would add Dr Michael Moeller.

@Randy
It really does!!! If you have an addictive personality, it really evens you out.
Everything is still there, but I have I now have moderation in many ways that I hadn't previously experienced.
The one exception I have noticed is an increased desire and ability to exercise. Anyone else noticed this?

@Neil-McCauley
I was thinking the same thing. My levels were way above the 600-900 range before I started. While initially it felt helpful, I think the HGH hits way harder, especially when combined with the IPA/TESA combo. I am able to use small doses of all 3 twice daily and the results are immediate and they are out of my system quickly. The TRT is much more difficult to work with because it works so slowly. I feel like the drive and workout capacity/recovery that I was seeking with TRT is being achieved HGH.
To answer your question, I have tried most all of the GH related peptides and while many things help, HGH seems to be in a different league. I cycle all the usual things as well SS31 Mots c Pinealon , epithalin etc. and I am always doing some kind of BCP stack to help with inflammation and recovery.
I think a lot of people may get better benefits from HGH than TRT providing your levels are not too low.
I always forget to mention that I have been taking peptides for 48 years (T1D LOL)
The last couple of years I have been testing all kinds of things to help repair the damage that occurs with being diabetic. It has been a very interesting. Most things are helpful but there are a few that don't seem to do anything.
I really wish I could get DSIP to work for me, good sleep is huge.
When you take insulin, it adds an extra dimension to the protocol, but it's worth it.
I am rambling here, are you contemplating HGH?

@CMEffie17
I have to be careful with the dosages of HGH and hormone related peptides as they can counter act with insulin and will decrease insulin sensitivity. Keeping insulin doses to a minimum is not a recommended strategy for most diabetics. I stay on a healthy lo carb diet and am only require 20 total units of insulin daily. This is a very low dose, but it's necessary to have tight controls if I want to experiment with peptides and avoid interactions. I work with an endocrinologist and monitor blood work often. I do experiment with many things, but not recklessly. The start low and titrate up as indicated seems like a good way to go. Finding a sweet spot has taken me a long time, I hope I stay in the zone for a while.
But I think the short story is, if you want to try HGH and need it, it's worth it. If you recover quickly and feel good and have energy, maybe you don't need it. It seems like with peptides and such, if you don't need them, they won't do much.
I am 68 and know that age takes a toll, but these peptides can replace a lot of our functions that decline with age injury, disease or whatever. A year ago, I felt pretty beat up, and now it gets better every day. You still have to work at it but having the ability to work out and recover is huge. I'm a huge fan of rats and their behaviors' LOL

@CMEffie17
I started with IPA/TESA and the other GH peptides and did various combos like that until I stumbled onto HGH a few months ago. I think it make sense to go slow and keep trying until you find what works for you. I still use other GH Peps stacked with the HGH to help keep my dose down. I think you're on the right track.

@PeptideCritic
I agree with the 5-star rating - shipping was fast, high-quality products and they had some hard to find items I was looking for. Lots of SWAG too!!!

The problem with Groupbuykits is that you don't know who the suppliers are or what the actual prices are. You're taking their word on pricing, and you still have the possibility of a shipment not getting delivered. To be fair I haven't heard of this happening, but the risk is still there. Additionally, your waiting 4-5 weeks for delivery and the testing could be handled in a more in a more logical manner. They have enough pricing built into their business model that it should be more straightforward and worry free. I am on my third order from them, and so far, I think that people are generally better off just buying from Nexaph. You might save a little with Groupbuykits, but it's not enough to make it worthwhile.
That being said, I have a wholesale account with Nexaph and their prices per vial based on the high minimum quantity required, is not that great. I like Nexaph, but I put together an order that totaled $44,000. I contacted them and said the pricing didn't work for my project expecting they would offer a further discount of some kind and they wouldn't budge. I offered to make the order 50K or more and still no additional discounts?
The vendors in the peptide world seem to have all the angles figured out. My dilemma is, I do not want to send a large amount of money to China because of the risk involved. It seems like there are a bunch of us with the same problem.
Does anyone know of any possible solutions or have suggestions.

@Shaqdiesel
I should have said works quicker. At least for me, I get a lift or boost a little quicker IM
I think most people feel that they get an energy boost of some kind either way.

@WisGal64
I haven't had problems with the product or quality so far. You should be fine. I think they may have more profit built into their formula than advertised, but I don't know that to be a fact.

@Eleanor
Good advice, I had been running the KLOW stack for quite a while and like it quite a bit. You can get a good dose of GHK-Cu with no sting doing that. switching out KVP for Cartalax seems similar, but the KVP might be a little better in that stack than the Cartalax.
Too soon to tell.

@Stan-Douglas
Try 100mg NAD+ IM
I get a lot better results with the IM injections. May make you a little queasy or give you a head rush, but you should feel it.

@ResearchCat
I have been using 5mg per day for about 6 months now and I like it a lot.
Increased blood flow and pumps when working out. The plumping of the nether regions calms down significantly after the first week or so. I generally do not like to take medications like this, but this one has been good with no side effects.
