@Steve Hooper yep! Usually in more of a “longevity/maintenance” situation we run it at 2mg daily for 30 days 2-3x/year. In a more acute/aggressive setting we’ll run 2-5mg daily titrating up for 8-12 weeks. As for TA1, it’s one of my favorites because it doesn’t just make your immune system stronger it makes it smarter. It increases T-cell activity and makes your system better at recognizing, distinguishing, and handling pathogens vs your actual body (auto-immunity). It also lowers inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) - so it lowers unnecessary inflammation while actually retraining the defense system (rather than nuking it). Hope this helps!

@Steve Hooper what I’m here for mate! Glad to have your expertise here as well!

@William Davis no break necessary my man. Tesa trials showed continued efficacy at 52 weeks so after 8 weeks you definitely aren’t looking at any sort of down regulation or anything. If you aren’t experiencing any sides you could start CJC+Ipam immediately if you wanted to. 🙌🏼

Appreciate you asking this here partner! I know I messaged you about this but I'll answer here in case others are wondering. A couple things to consider here: 1. Reta can be a great tool for what you're looking to do. Low dose (typically 1-2mg/week) is used often in the physique space to leverage the insulin sensitivity/nutrient partitioning benefits for losing fat/building muscle without the appetite taking a hit. Strong nutrient partitioning is a massive lever for both fat loss and muscle growth. 2. Tesa works via a different mechanism as a growth hormone peptide. It wont be as potent on the fat burning side of things BUT it's a great long term player. when it comes to physique goals, what we really want is metabolic priming (faster, stronger metabolism over time). Increased GH levels over time lead to more muscle which is one of the primary drivers of metabolic output making it easier to get and stay leaner (and live longer). A personal example - this is why my maintenance calories are right around 3400. That gives me a lot of wiggle room when I want to loose fat. Long story short both Reta and Tesa can be used for what you're looking to do. I'd look at Reta as more of a short term tool to enhance what you do with food and calorie burn and Tesa as a long term player that's going to liberate stored fat and help you build muscle via higher GH levels. Hope this helps!
