hi,excuse me my meddling,i need some explainations please.
i'ld like to know if ghrps (by long term use) can cause a deficiency at your own ghrelin release,once u'll stop to use them. (if that it's possible....what should u take to stimulate/increase your own ghrelin release,once u stop GHRPs cycles?).
The same question is even orientated about own GHRH release and how it'll be once u'll stop CJC DAC cycles use (by long term use).
then i'ld like even to know if it's possible GHRPs (and GHRHs too) to cause gut issues,gut enlarged and prostate and kidney issues too.
...and also this please: do u need to increase your own insulin secretion too ,once u run w/ GHRPs & GHRHs....or u can use them alone without nothing else stuff? ( i read ghrps&GHRHs alone are catabolic and raise your cortisol,while insulin is anabolic and lower the cortisol).
Hey Reginald,
Sorry for taking so long; I don't check the forums too often.
1) It's my understanding that (and this is just from what I've read and half-a$$ remembered) peptides (CJC, GHRP, Ipamorelin, etc.) don't cause shutdown of endogenous gherlin production. The production will be reduced during the time the peptides are affecting you, but will return to normal when the peptides are out of the blood. Exogenous GH, however, will cause somatrope shutdown, as it takes the endogenous GH production out of the picture as opposed to speeding it up (like with peptides). I've even heard of people using peptides as a sort of "GH PCT," but I'm not sure how valid (or necessary) the practice is.
2) While I wouldn't recommend use of CJC-1295 w/ DAC, the return to normal levels should be fairly quick with prolonged use, within reason (say 3 months or so). I've heard of people going on GHRHs indefinitely, and as long as the dosage isn't excessive, don't seem to have ill side effects.
3) Gut growth - Ah, the bane of modern bodybuilding. You're right to want to avoid it; the sport's supposed to be bodybuilding, not bellybuilding. Once again, as long as you keep dosages in check, this should not be a major concern.
For bodybuilding purposes, it's recommended to get 50-100mcg GHRH and 100-200mcg GHRP, 3 times a day. Once upon waking, once immediately PWO, and once right before bed. People seeking lipolytic and anti-aging effects mainly use 50mcg GHRH and 100mcg GHRP right before bed. I've heard tesimony from people shedding pretty dramatic levels of fat in just weeks using 50/100 mcg twice daily. Once again, gut growth seems to be more prevalent with exogenous GH rather than peptides.
I said the dosage above was for bodybuilding purposes, but don't start using peptides thinking you'll hulk up overnight. These compounds are not AASs, and the effects are very different. They will not build mass at nearly as fast of a rate, and are more potent when used to avoid accumulating fat rather than to build mass.
4) Certain peptides will cause cortisol release. If you're worried aobut cortisol, stick with CJC-1295 (or CJC-1295 with DAC if needed) and Ipamorelin. The concerns about cortisol release come mainly from the GHRPs, of which Ipamorelin has the lowest release, followed by GHRP-2 (a good substitute at half the price). The net effect will be anabolic, however, as the GH and resulting IGF produced by the peptides are anabolic.
Spiking your own insulin levels with food occasionally will make the peptides more effective (just not for 2 hours before injection or 15 minutes after), but it's not required. I wouldn't recommend using exogenous insulin unless you really know what you're doing; it's too dangerous.
Feel free to send a PM if you need any more info.
