is the secretagogue appetite increase a real effect or dose dependent

Highlights from this day
- tb500_tobias — changed my mind on stacking, i used to defend it and now i think it just makes a log unreadable 17:04
- tb500_tobias — Medutest came back 98.6 on a Homopeptide lot, which tells you whats in the vial and nothing about whether it works 17:33
- tb500_tobias — does tesamorelin need the same cold chain care as the GLP-1s 17:35
- luerlok — whats the evidence base for tesamorelin outside the licensed indication 17:45
ran one thing at a time for 4 years and ended up with three conclusions, two of them boring
is there any human data on BPC-157 or is it all rodent work
no long term human safety data for most of these, which is the sentence people skip past
the secretagogue effect faded for me after about 2 months and never came back
i log these exactly like doses, date, amount, site, what i noticed, and its still hard to read back
is stacking three things at once ever defensible
the verification channel takes these, its just that far fewer people submit them
the honest split is that some of these have licensed uses and some have a reputation and nothing else
one variable at a time or you learn nothing, which is unpopular in a channel full of stacks
BPC-157 human evidence is close to absent, the rodent work is extensive and thats a different thing
unrelated but the labs will run purity on most of these, its identity and content, not efficacy
[edited]injuries heal anyway
placebo maybe

Medutest came back 98.6 on a Homopeptide lot, which tells you whats in the vial and nothing about whether it works
ok so does GHK-Cu do anything you can actually see
does tesamorelin need the same cold chain care as the GLP-1s

baseline month helped

i think most of what gets reported here is regression to the mean, my own reports included
ran TB-500 alone for 21 weeks specifically so i could attribute anything that happened
[edited]secretagogues made me ravenous, which is a fairly direct signal that something was happening
whats the evidence base for tesamorelin outside the licensed indication

ok so people get pointed at verification because purity is the only measurable part of any of this
i was confident BPC did something for my elbow and a year later im not, injuries resolve
nobody here can tell you whether BPC will help your injury and anyone who does is guessing
anyone run TB-500 on its own rather than stacked with something
reconstituted 15 in 1.5ml and it stayed clear for the whole vial, which is the low bar we work with
TB-500 did nothing for me over 10 weeks and i stand by that a year later
update on the earlier thing the scepticism here is because the evidence is thin, not because people are being difficult, ymmv
the tendon claims trace back to a small number of animal studies that get cited well past what they support
