  • Cycling approach:
  • 8-12 weeks on
  • 2-4 weeks off
  • Prevents receptor desensitization (theoretical)
  • Gives body break
  • Many users prefer this
  • Continuous use approach:
  • No breaks (use indefinitely)
  • Some evidence continuous is fine
  • GH peptides don't downregulate like exogenous GH
  • May be sustainable long-term
  • Monitor results and adjust
  • Which is better?
  • Evidence mixed (both have proponents)
  • Cycling more conservative (safer bet)
  • Continuous may work for some
  • Personal response varies
  • Start with cycling, assess
  • Signs you might need a break:
  • Diminishing results (plateau)
  • Side effects increasing
  • Feeling "off" or fatigued
  • After 12-16 weeks continuous
  • Take 4 weeks off, reassess
