Hi guys.
Okay, I've used both GHRP-2 and Ipamorelin, in combination with CJC-no DAC, Ipa primarily . I used them almost continually for 11 months, occasionally using the GHRP-2 for 2 weeks to a month (which is more powerful, however, I've noticed some bloating with GHRP-2 which I'm assuming was from increased cortisol) and I understand the receptors can become less responsive.
I stopped taking them in March due to increasing, near constant joint pain and suggestions that increased GH can "dry out" the joints. Back to the sports med. doctor for me. Turns out, in addition to multiple tendon tears in both elbows and multiple RC tears in both shoulders I have osteoarthritis in my knees (which was primarily why I dropped the peptides). I got both knees Synvisc'd and have had excellent results. I also had (ongoing) major work done on both shoulders and elbows (more PRP) on Tuesday so I'm currently back on the peptides.
Short answer, they DO work and you get what you pay for, remember that. I'm way older than most people on this site and am, I'm discovering, basically destroyed physically. I would have loved to had access to this stuff about 20 years ago.
Some technical notes: From my personal observation (in terms of the way the shot itself feels and the way I feel after a shot) as soon as they're hydrated they start losing potency. I think they're pretty much "flat" after 14 days. To offset that I bump the (twice daily) dose every two to three days, going from 10 (on the insulin needle) to 11, then 12, etc. Stick with 2000 ml bottles. Oh, and you only need small insulin needles, 50 units. The difference in cost over 100 unit syringes is dramatic. I use a 28 g. needle, I think if you get anything smaller going through two rubber tops dulls them way too much. Oh, finally, you might have to play around with shot locations. I've learned that if I shoot anywhere above my waist I get a bitch of a bruise, and that includes the back of my arm (I actually get bruised knots there).
If you have any specific questions I'll be happy to try to answer them but bear in mind, I'm NOT training, have been barely able to exercise in any meaningful way since early 2011, in fact, and am 47. Your results, if you are younger and actively training, will definitely be different.
Before anyone asks, my tendons and ligaments are all fucked up from, as best I can tell, basically age. Could be youthful injuries catching up with me, could just be bad genes. I never did any kind of sports that should have caused this, was never in any severe wrecks. I do seem to have an unusually high pain threshold so things have probably been messed up a long time and just life and exercising with low grade tears certainly doesn't help anything *shrug*
