Considering Tesamorelin for later on. What about dosing suggestions, and is it true that once reconstituted it only holds up for 7 days in a vial if it's not kept cold?

Bill

I ran it for roughly 5 months, then moved over to hgh. Room temperature storage is supposedly fine for it. The clinical dose is 2mg, taken before bed.

At 1mg, that's the standard amount most people take. Going up to 2mg strikes me as quite a lot, and it probably comes with a greater chance of unwanted effects.

For meaningful fat reduction, 2mg is what the research used; if you're targeting IGF-1 levels, 1mg is the dose.

That could be the trial, just like reta is 12mg, yet higher doses bring far more side effects. I dropped 17lbs and a lot of lean tissue on just .6mg of tesa per day for only 2 months

What led tesa to make you drop "alot of lean tissue," by what method did you determine that lean tissue had been lost, and what does lean tissue mean?

My mistake, typo. The scale showed a 17lbs drop while lean tissue went up. I use a hume scale and check my body comp every day.

Muscle is what lean tissue refers to.

That comparison doesn't hold up well. With Retatrutide, meaningful fat reduction occurs at doses significantly under 12 mg. For Tesamorelin, there isn't comparable evidence supporting lower doses.

When the goal is to replicate what trials demonstrated, the dose used in those trials is what counts. How you apply that is your call.

Beyond that, Tesamorelin seems to target visceral fat more than subcutaneous fat, rather than producing overall fat loss. Because it's a GH/GHRH, any lean mass gains are likely just water retention, and on those kinds of scales that gets recorded as lean mass

My results have been great, honestly. Since I tend to respond strongly to things, my approach is always to begin with a small dose and increase gradually—that pattern has served me well. Naturally, each person needs to determine what works for their own body.

Before starting any secretogoblin, my view is that checking IGF-1 levels should be a priority for everyone. When I had mine done, the result came back at 257, which makes me question whether Tesa could actually provide any meaningful benefit in my case.

Yes—visceral fat contains a higher number of receptors, which is why it responds more strongly than subcutaneous fat.

I had mine checked, and the result came back at 87! My Tesa is headed my way

The sole dosage available by prescription is 2mg — that figure isn't limited to research or trial settings. As far as I can tell, Tesamorelin isn't being handed out "for IGF-1 levels" in any context.
