- The table below shows standard baseline ranges, expected post-cycle shifts in responders, and clinical interpretation thresholds for the core epithalon monitoring panel.
- IGF-1 (ng/mL)
- Age-dependent: 90–400
- 12–25% increase from baseline
- +20–80 ng/mL absolute
- Increases below 10% likely within normal variation; values above baseline +30% suggest supraphysiological GH stimulation
- Morning Cortisol (μg/dL)
- 10–20 (drawn 6–8 AM fasting)
- 12–18 with restored diurnal curve
- Normalization toward 15 μg/dL
- Baseline values below 8 or above 22 predict stronger response; post-cycle flattening indicates failed pineal modulation
- Evening Cortisol (μg/dL)
- 2–10 (drawn 10 PM–midnight)
- Below 3 in normalized subjects
- 40–60% reduction if baseline elevated
- Evening values remaining above 5 post-cycle suggest continued HPA dysregulation
- hsCRP (mg/L)
- 0.5–10 (higher = more inflammation)
- Below 1.0 in responders
- 30–50% reduction from baseline
- Reductions below 20% may reflect dietary changes rather than peptide effect; values below 0.5 mg/L uncommon
- 6-SMT (ng/mg creatinine)
- 10–60 (first morning urine)
- 30–70 with pineal restoration
- 40–80% increase if baseline suppressed
- Baseline values above 50 show smaller % gains; absolute increases above 20 ng/mg creatinine clinically meaningful
- TSH (mIU/L)
- 0.5–4.5
- 1.0–2.5 with optimized axis
- Normalization toward 1.5–2.0
- Baseline values outside 1.0–3.0 range more likely to shift; post-cycle TSH above 3.5 or below 0.8 warrants thyroid workup
