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?

Anyone here using Tesamorelin?

@Calm Logic... if it were me, I'd keep it in the fridge and use up the whole vial in about a week.

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.

Daily use, only for a couple of months, taken every day. Did it work well for you?

I take it daily, and the FDA has cleared it for ongoing use. The sole reason I changed was that hgh is far cheaper.

Apart from those studies where reconstituted tesa kept at room temperature had bacteria multiplying rapidly past day 5/6, right?

How to keep egrifta#-storing-egrifta
- The Medication Box and Injection Box should sit at room temperature, meaning 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C).
[*)EGRIFTA WRTM vials must be protected from light.
- Once EGRIFTA WRTM has been combined with the Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, freezing or refrigerating it is not allowed

The protocol that matters: 2 mg taken at bedtime, and you need to have gone 3 hrs with nothing to eat. Running it gets expensive.

Tesa has been a solid addition for both my wife and me — it's been in our routine for what feels like forever, over 6 months now. Sleep quality is much better, it targets visceral fat (which helps pull in the midsection), and vascularity has improved too. We each take 2mg every night. And yeah, it's not cheap

From what I've come across, its shelf life once mixed isn't great, but since my daily amount is only .5mg, a 10mg vial mixed with 2ml bac keeps me going for roughly 3 weeks, and I haven't seen anything off with it. Mine goes in the fridge too...none of it has gelled on me

At the standard 1mg per day, a vial would be finished within 10days. One more thing—if you're on a Glp, gastric emptying gets slowed down, so reaching a fasted state after dinner takes much longer. My preference is to pin in the morning while fasted, right before training, to boost the pulse

For me, Tesa stored in the fridge has been inconsistent. Occasionally it turns to gel - I lost 2 vials that way - and other times it stays fine, even though I used the same kind of BAC water. I switched to storing it outside the refrigerator, in a cool dark spot, and that is the only approach that has worked well up to now. So my take is to keep it out of the fridge after reconstituting.

So far I've bought just 1 kit. The water retention put me off, so I quit at the 5 day mark — and I did that on 2 separate occasions. Vial #2, already reconstituted, went into the freezer. Right now I'm working through vial 3, which has spent a bit more than a week in the fridge. Every vial stayed clear while refrigerated.
When I dosed at night, I got wild dreams and nightmares — honestly kind of enjoyed them — but I kept waking at 3:30 each night. Moved it to a morning fasted protocol and it's been fantastic. More energy, sharper thinking, and ideally better results from my sad little weight session.
A pen is on the way, and my plan is to load 2 or 3 weeks' worth into it and stick it in the fridge. Though I may thaw the frozen 1 first, just to see how it holds up.
Either way, my preference is 1.5mg plus 375mcg ipamorelin in the morning, kept cold.

Thanks to all of you. I'm feeling both thrilled and terrified at the same time.

With this vial, the fluid retention I experienced was far greater than during the first few—no clue why. My fingers ended up extremely puffy, and my nasal passages became totally blocked. I quit it 2 days ago. My fingers have returned to normal. However, for me, the nasal passages always tend to be the final thing to clear up regardless

Yeah, that sounds awful. My own sides stayed way milder, though my biggest shot was 1.5mg (stacked with ipa too). On my first run I split it into 1mg at night and 1mg in the morning, which gave me a little knuckle ache and not much else.
Being in late middle age, my GH is likely on the low side by now. Could be that I simply have space for the extra pulse.

I went ahead and dropped the TSM. Since my Tes levels are already maxed out, I figure my HGH must be sky-high. Appreciate everyone's input. Also—doing daily fasts boosts Tes and HGH while bringing down cholesterol and BP. I've kept this up for years.

About to kick off a Tesa + Ipa run, and my plan has been to inject right after waking so I’m in a fasted state.
What I haven’t come across anywhere, though, is how much longer I need to stay fasted after the shot before I can have my morning protein shake. Does the same 2+ hour rule that gets suggested before an evening pin apply here? Or does the full effect come on faster, letting me get back to my normal daily nutrition schedule?
For dosing, I’m thinking of beginning at 500mcg Tesa/250mcg Ipa and then working up to 1mg/.5mg. I’ve also noticed that few people mention their Ipa amount—most talk about Tesa dosing, usually somewhere between 1mg-2mg. Is that 2:1 ratio a good approach, or not?
Thanks for any feedback; this peptide area is still pretty new to me.

I don't claim to be an authority. Still, my eating window runs from 12 to 8 each day. My suggestion would be to dose right before bedtime, roughly 3 hours after finishing your final meal. Then stay away from food for a minimum of 12-14 hours while fasting. Personally I go 16 hours, and 8 of them fall into a no food no insulin fast. Throughout those 8 fasted hours, every non digestive hormone of mine is putting in serious work.

I’m on Tirz, which slows stomach emptying. That’s why I dosed 2mg in the morning and did a 50-day fast. I wrapped that up 2 weeks ago. My labs came back looking like HGH levels, and my waist shrank by 2 inches. My joints ached, and carpal tunnel showed up during the final weeks. I mixed it and kept it in a dark cabinet. Went through the entire kit that same way.
