1.1 Growth Hormone Secretagogues
These peptides increase your own growth hormone output rather than supplying synthetic HGH.CJC-1295 (No DAC)
How it works: Mimics GHRH to enhance natural GH pulses
Half-life: ~30 minutes
Typical dose: 50–100 mcg, once or twice daily (often paired with Ipamorelin)
Cost: €30–40/month
Notes: Good for natural rhythm, low risk

CJC-1295 (DAC version)
How it works: Same mechanism but attaches to albumin for a long-lasting effect
Half-life: 5–8 days
Dosing: 1–2 injections weekly
Pros: Very infrequent injections
Cons: Creates a constant GH elevation (not ideal), causes water retention, may accelerate growth-plate closure
Cost: €40–60/month
Image options
Ipamorelin
Mechanism: Works on the ghrelin receptor to provoke GH release
Half-life: ~2 hours
Dose: 50–100 mcg 1–2x/day
Cost: €25–40/month
Image options
Tesamorelin
Mechanism: A very strong GHRH analog; FDA-approved
Dose: 1–2 mg daily
Use-case: Primarily for reducing visceral fat
Cost: €100–200+/month
Image options
Typical Side Effects:
Water retention, puffiness
Higher blood sugar (especially with Tesamorelin)
GH receptor desensitization if overdosed
Growth plate implications with CJC-DAC
1.2 IGF-1 Analogues
IGF-1 DES
Half-life: ~20–30 minutes
Best for: Localized use (jawline, cheeks)
Dose: 10–50 mcg per site
Cost: €40–60/month
Image options
IGF-1 LR3
Half-life: ~20–30 hours
Best for: Systemic effects
Dose: 30–60 mcg/day
Cost: €80–120/month
Image options
Side Effects:
DES: uneven swelling or irritation
LR3: strong hypoglycemia, potential organ enlargement, theoretical tumor growth risk

️ is wierd man and also most of this is gpt . I like the effort but dude alot of this info js wrong when looked into. Also why is hgh js not included but secretagogues are ?
