Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin
Blend — Growth hormoneTesamorelin with Ipamorelin. The stronger GH blend, weighted toward visceral fat reduction.
Swaps the gentle GHRH for Tesamorelin — the stabilised analog that's FDA-approved (as Egrifta) for visceral fat reduction in HIV lipodystrophy, and the reason this blend is chosen over CJC/Ipa when body composition is the goal rather than recovery. Stronger means more side-effect surface: water retention and joint aches are the usual complaints.
- Dose
- Dosed as a single draw — the ratio is fixed by the vial (5 / 5 mg), so you scale all 2 components together. Use the dose calculator to convert your target to units. Vials also come as 5 / 5 mg, 10 / 5 mg, 10 / 10 mg.
- Reconstitute
- 5 / 5 mg vial + 2 mL bacteriostatic water. 10 units on a U-100 syringe = 250 mcg Tesamorelin + 250 mcg Ipamorelin. Other dilutions the calculator supports: 2, 3 mL.
- Schedule
- 5 nights on / 2 off, 12+ week cycles.
- Half-life
- Tesamorelin ~30 minutes injected; Ipamorelin ~2 hours. Downstream IGF-1 elevation lasts considerably longer.
- Timing
- Pre-bed fasted, or AM fasted. Keep ≥2 hours clear of food.
- Risks
- Water retention, joint aches, carpal-tunnel symptoms, and glucose intolerance at higher doses. Monitor IGF-1 and fasting glucose if running this long.
Pairs withTesamorelin + Ipamorelin. Not with another GHRH. Pair with resistance training and adequate protein or the body-composition effect is wasted.
