  • Dose per injection
  • 200–300mcg
  • 100–150mcg
  • Pituitary sensitivity declines ~30% by age 45; lower per-dose concentration avoids receptor saturation
  • Lower doses with higher frequency outperform high-dose protocols in 40+ cohorts
  • Injection frequency
  • 2x daily (morning, pre-sleep)
  • 3x daily (morning, mid-afternoon, pre-sleep)
  • Natural GH pulsatility decreases with age; three smaller pulses mimic youthful rhythm better than two large pulses
  • Three daily pulses maintain elevated IGF-1 across waking and sleep cycles
  • Fasting requirement
  • 2 hours post-meal acceptable
  • Minimum 3 hours post-carbohydrate meal
  • Insulin sensitivity decreases after 40; elevated glucose blunts GH response more severely than in younger users
  • Strict fasting adherence is non-negotiable for meaningful results
  • Titration timeline
  • Immediate 200mcg starting dose common
  • Conservative 4-week escalation from 100mcg
  • Older users experience higher cortisol response to abrupt GH elevation; gradual titration reduces side effects
  • Slow titration prevents receptor downregulation and cortisol rebound
  • Stacking contraindications
  • Often stacked with other GHRPs or peptides
  • Avoid stacking with additional GHRPs; CJC-1295 acceptable
  • Receptor desensitisation risk compounds with age; single GHRP maintains pulsatility longer
  • Monotherapy or conservative stacking only. Avoid multi-GHRP protocols
