Peptide Critic Community

@Randy

Okay, I see how my comment and question is confusing. This is what chat GPT clarified for me:

ChatGPT said:

"Mostly because Tesamorelin and HGH are much different molecules to manufacture and purify. A higher reported HPLC percentage doesn't necessarily mean Tesamorelin is intrinsically “purer” or better.

Size/complexity: Tesamorelin is a 44-amino-acid peptide, whereas recombinant HGH is a 191-amino-acid protein. The longer HGH molecule has many more opportunities for synthesis/expression-related variants, truncations, misfolding, and aggregation.

Manufacturing method: Tesamorelin is generally made by chemical peptide synthesis, while HGH is commonly produced using recombinant biological expression. Biological production introduces additional host-cell and protein-processing impurities that have to be removed.

Purification: A relatively short peptide can often be separated from closely related impurities by preparative chromatography more readily than a large recombinant protein with multiple structural variants.

..."

However, it would have been nicer for you to just tell me to go look it or that I am not making any sense than to ignore my question.

@bobs
Maybe get several thermometers while you are at it. Mine varies widely in temperature between the sides, back and front, top shelf and bottom...warm on the door, freezing in the back. Hopefully, you will have better luck with yours.

Randy So does Tesa usually test higher since it is not "the real big boy juice?"

@Eleanor
Okay.

@peptideEd

"What is true, and defensible, is that QSC’s HGH runs at a mean purity of 96.86% against 99.26% for the rest of its line, a consistent gap of roughly two and a half points on every test we can verify. That is not fraud. rHGH is a harder analyte."

@Eleanor He is not a solid source on the subject.
While this is one key to improving outcomes, it is not THE key. Also, high copper and iron levels are not a common characteristic among post-viral populations, in fact, mineral deficiencies are far more prevalent.
Videos are not a reliable source for systemic diseases -- they are too complicated, and research is too underfunded to ever "cure" ME/CFS or even Long Covid.
Try Health Rising if you want a source for research news.

@ResearchCat

Hmmm, I seem to be spending a lot of time with peptide people lately, aka this forum. lol

@Eleanor
I think you saw the wrong video. John Campbell, a U.K. retired nurse I believe, spent the entire pandemic vetting all the incoming vaccine stats. Ultimately, upon unraveling the bad policies and shady testing, he seems to be against the blanket Covid vaccines. The interview was born out of all the tragic results from the Covid vaccines. It is a “this is here to stay, so let’s make it less bad” approach.

This.
If it doesn't sum it up for everyone -- they are doing it wrong.

@Eleanor
Yeah, but the amount we spend is nothing compared to how much U.S. health care costs.
I am spending less than decent insurance would cost me, which I don't use because I go out of country for any traditional stuff.

and your pituitary is responding.

@Neil-McCauley

Maybe it is getting healthier and that is the problem!

Thanks everyone for the feedback, its a relief.

This is my second time running CJC/IPA, and halfway through the 8 week cycle.
I did do a <200mcg dose instead of the 300mcg and the heart rate increase and flush went back to normal. I am going to start the new vial and also will check my pen to make sure it is dispensing consistently.

Idk, maybe taking it at 1:00a.m. had something to do with it. Even on days when I did two doses, my heart wasn't pounding that hard for that long.

@Stevepep

Can you send me the information for the "virus" so I can check my computer? I'm not finding anything.

@Juliano546

(1) The size of my "Peptides" folder rivals the size of my "Health" folder.

(2) I want this as a poster hanging in my peptide room.

I think it was ResearchCat who posted it.

(3) I am officially now a peptide nerd.

Oh, and I am sooooo much healthier, too.

I experienced an increase in my heart rate of about 18 bpm for roughly 5–10 minutes after injecting CJC/IPA. I’m concerned that this could be indicative of an impending allergic reaction, and now I’m wondering whether it’s safe to start my next vial.
I have one dose left from my current vial, which I will cut in half to see how I respond.
Has anyone had this problem with CJC/IPA but continued it without worsening symptoms?

@ResearchCat
lol...That was very cathartic!

That wasn't meant to be a reply to you. Sorry, I have trouble following the format of this forum.
I was referring the the caption in the article.
