You're videos are great, you put in a lot of hard work and I appreciate it. I'm looking to increase growth hormone so that I can help regenerate my thymus for immune health.
Fantastic info, really happy I found your channel. Is there any research literature on the optimal ratios when combining CJC-1295 and ipamorelin? Thanks again for the great content.
Thanks! So I was classically trained to have a 1:1 ratio, with a dose of 1mcg/kg for saturation. Most compounding pharmacies recommend much higher than that (usually 2-4mcg/kg) and they also usually have ipamorelin in higher dosages than the cjc. To be frank, I haven't had a chance to dive into that area of the research to see if that's a legit approach or not. I got results with myself and my patients for many years with my approach, so thats currently what I do. At some point I'll find the time to check out that research!
@@DrewTimmermansND thanks for the reply! That’s actually what sparked my curiosity - I saw a presentation from a compounding pharmacy that discussed ratios and I wasn’t aware of any research on the topic. I thought I might have missed it.
I've been on this same treatment for 21 days now. At age 43, my energy, well being, strength, belly fat and quality of sleep- all became more negative for me. I've lost a few pounds already and my strength is beginning to increase. I'm not benching what I did in my 20s, but I feel much more energetic and stronger in the gym. My wellbeing and sleep have improved the most. Great sleep! So far, so good. I believe I'm beginning to lean out some as well. If these benefits continue to improve as my Doc says, I would recommend this treatment to anyone who wants to feel younger, stronger, happier and look better
Ipamorelin w CJC1295. DR. Artbuckle, VA Beach Hes a great doctor. I finished my regimen. Lost 12 lbs and increased my muscle and decreased my body fat. Treatment is expensive but worth it if you are serious about getting back in shape, losing some weight and gaining a little lean muscle mass. My strength increased as well. If u can afford it, I recommend Dr Artbuckle
@@keithroach7762 thanks Keith. Have you tried HRT prior to the peptide treatment? I was on HRT several years ago and it helped with muscle and libido, but I hated having to go into the office once per week and would prefer to be monitored with blood work and do the injections at home myself. Does your doctor allow this also for peptides? I don’t want to do exogenous testosterone any more. I’ve been off of it for 2 years now. I’m in North Carolina and I can’t seem to find a good clinic I can trust. Thank you for your help. I am 40 and in good shape but have terribly low T, energy. I want to be clear that I get 7 plus hours of sleep, great nutrition (aside from being in a calorie deficit, but healthy foods) and weight train. I just don’t want to suffer anymore with the lack of libido energy and if I am not super careful I gain weight quickly. Thanks!!
@@MrGflan I'm no longer on the peptides, not because they don't work, but because of cost. I found the treatment very helpful but too much cost to sustain the treatment any longer. I've never used hormone replacement treatment, and my testosterone levels are normal, so I didn't need testosterone treatment. I believe my doc does many variations of quality of life treatments but I've only tried peptides
Very good and accurate information in this video doc. Good job. I’ve been taking 50 mcgs Mod GRF and 100mcgs Hexarelin dosed twice per day (morning and night) for a week now and the sleep is amazing. I noticed that you didn’t mention Hexarelin while discussing GHRPs in this video. Why is that? My understanding is that Ipamorelin is one of the less potent GHRPS and Hexarelin is one of the more powerful GHRPs.
That's great to hear! We find much less side effects in most people with ipamorelin vs others (including hexarelin), which is why we use it more frequently. In some instances when we need the higher potency of GH release and we're okay trialing the hexarelin with the patient, we will use that clinically. But ipamorelin is still my preferred GHRP, despite it being 'weaker', and this is mainly because there is less collateral hit on prolactin and cortisol. Great question
Drew Timmermans, ND Understandable. Hexarelin is quite potent which is why I personally don’t use it everyday. Ipamorelin gives a very nice GH pulse so I could see why you have it as your primary GHRP.
Hi there, I will be soon taking Ipamorelin/CJC-1295 for aid in metabolism, fat loss, energy, ect. If I heard correctly, you're saying the CJC circulates at a longer half-life essentially and that may not be a good idea in your opinion? I'm thinking, for no longer than a month it may be ok, then switch to Ipa/Sermorelin to go with the natural rhythm? Interesting talk on the natural cyclic hormone releases the body does, and it makes sense to repect the nature of the circadian cycles. To my understanding, this is a grey area and not entirely definitive for every person (hormones can be released different time periods due to lifestyle-- i.e. cortisol levels).. its mostly at night the GH released correct?
CJC 1295 with DAC circulates longer as it has a longer half life and is therefore less effective and has a higher chance of screwing up natural rhythms. This is why I only ever use/recommend CJC 1295 without DAC.
Hey mate! Thanks for this informative video. I've just recently tested with very low GH but high IGF-1. I have a combo peptide mix of CJC1295+Ipa - both 1:1. suggested dose is 200mcg (so 200mcg each) subcutaneously dosed once a day. Would this be a suitable dose? Before bed is the optimal time?
hello docter wat is the best what i can use for shoulderpain(tendons and triggerpoints?ellbow pain and wristpain? is hgh the best for that ore bpc+tb500mix?
Doc, eating timings around using these? How many hours apart? I want to use in AM cause of energy burst but how long before I should eat since insulin will block its effects?
Ive just been prescribed sermorelin by a Dr and a bit confused in that some people say need to take it every night, but my Dr says just take 2-3 times a week. What’s best?
There are multiple different ways that it can be dosed. Best to listen to your doctor as there could be a very specific reason why he/she said 2-3x a week
Need help please. I started sermorelin less than two months ago. Had a reaction of slight gitters and headache. Stoppe a day or two then again. Was fine for two weeks or so, then on and off I get pretty big hives. They’re severely itchy and welt pretty big. Is this normal? What should I do? Has this happened to anyone you know of?
Yeah, I am using peptides and it increases muscle mass and strength. It is easier for the body to digest, which means they may cause fewer digestive problems than creatine proteins. Thank you Doc for this very informative video.
@@tellitallnow3914hey. been using IGF and hexarelin from swisschems, they are great in quality and bring noticeable results, really helpful in my cycle
@@allansaenz6998 Does Swisschems ship out of the USA? Are they really legit? I seen on their website that their product is made and housed in the USA? I presume it ships out of the USA to US residents. Do they take Cc payments.? There are So many sketchy places online... scary. You work for swisschems?
hello, I'm following you from Italy, I have a question, by mixing the ghrp-2 I put the bacteriostatic water too quickly and it made a little foam, do you think I ruined it?
@@DrewTimmermansNDDo you have Insight on dosage if one was switching from Sermorelin to MODgrf/ipamorelin? Can you possibly give a brief breakdown on ratio Ipamorelin/MODgrf dose? Thanks for your time!
@@DrewTimmermansND thanks doc. I was planning to use the added test for muscle building for the lost muscle after a broken bone. If Its still managed by a doctor (even with adequate test levels) I am good to go? Like subscribed keep the content up
What r the doses recommended for using them doc? If used alone, cjc1295 how to use, and when combined with ghrp6 how to do so if i may ask? Keeping in mind that it is to be used for enhancing performance and gaining muscles
Would a good dose of this be 200mcg of impamorelin and 100mcg of cjc 1295 w/o dac before bed for anti aging benefits and general well being? I'm 31 year old male and weigh 90kgs with about 10% body fat.
Yea thats a pretty standard dose of both of those. I dont think the ipamorelin needs to be that high, we usually try to do a 1:1 ratio of cjc:ipamorelin
I've been on IPA/Cjc1295 for about two months now. Are the fat loss/muscle gain benefits supposed to be drastic or very subtle? I'd like to make sure my expectations aren't off. The sleep is incredible BTW.
I’m 2 weeks in and I can DEFINITELY say my muscles are bigger.. it’s hard to believe but my body fat hasn’t changed. Maybe even gained more fat but I’ve also let my diet go a little bit because of stress but hoping to reverse that soon
mod grf 1-29 && ghrp-6 I was told to take those for 6 months to grow taller if my plates weren’t closed up. In your opinion is that possible with those
It ur growth plates aren't closed, go hard in hgh in my opinion to grow as much taller as possible, wish I knew about this info I just gave you when I was younger
I went to a clinic because I was having symptoms of low TRT. Depression, extremely tired, no motivation etc. I did all my research on TRT and was expecting to go that route. But when i got to the clinic they gave me the option of TRT or peptides. They seemed to be pushing me towards peptides so that’s the route i went. Was that the right decision? My main concern is fixing the energy, depression, and no motivation will peptides help? Sorry for the long message its just hard finding any info on peptides
I have no idea if peptides will help you or not as I don't know anything about your medical history, sorry. You should have more discussions with the doctor that prescribed it for you so that you can become educated. I also have a lot of videos on peptides if you search my channel if you need to learn more.
MK677 should be taken for about 50-70 days then stop taking for 5-10 days. Stack MK with stuff like LDG 4033 but always get blood work done. LGD4033 lowers test in most cases so maybe dont use it. What i reccommend is cycling MK for 50 days then when you cycle off and shred use Ostarine .
take mk for 6 months 12.5mg to 25mg see how your body reacts, cycle off after 6 months take at least 2 months off then you can go back on for 6 months. Depending what your goal is you can stack ostarine being the lighter sarm with less sides.
@@truthbetold6496 6 MONTHS... unless you dont give a shit about insulin levels or getting diabetic then dont do a 6 month cycle. Also after a Mk cycle insulin levels go back to normal after 2 weeks. Also try and avoid fatty sugars when taking MK :)
Where do you get reliable sources of peptides? Who prescribes them? What websites offer them? All I hear and see is, take this take that, but no guidance to how or where to get them.
Only reliable sources of injectable peptides come from compounding pharmacies, which require a doctor's prescription. This means you need to seek out a doctor who lists that they use them, and you start working with them
I have been on CJC-1295 and ipamorelin for 5 days and had noticeable hairline thinning/temple recession. Is this common or something that I should be concerned about? I hesitate to keep taking it..
My primary care physician brought up peptides and wanted to prescribe a drug called semaglutide, when I researched it and found out it wasnt a peptide, but actually a diabetes medication (and I don’t have diabetes) it made me a little bit skeptical. When I questioned the doctors office about starting these peptides, they deferred back to the diabetes drug, so I ordered from a lab online. How do we know if it’s the real thing or not though?
You won't know if it's the real thing unless you know a lab that can independently verify what you purchased. That's why we don't recommend people order from online labs. FYI semaglutide is a peptide. A peptide is just a string of amino acids. Insulin is also a peptide. Just because a drug company makes it, doesn't mean it's not a peptide
Semaglutide is an anti-obesity medication that slows down your digestion. Doctors like it because it’s super expensive and it’s a drug designed for fat people as opposed to performance enhancement. It can cause pretty unpleasant gastrointestinal issues. I’d say you’re much better off just dieting and exercising.
How dangerous is it?! I’ve been an amateur athletes for 32 years and avoided steroids etc. at 48 years old I have lost more than 10 pounds of muscle after the age of 40. And have considerable where in tear on my joints. Is this a risky method to get some of my abilities back? Would be great if you can make a video in layman‘s terms how dangerous is it I don’t want to bring cancer or diabetes or liver problems or kidney problems on myself just because I’m fighting natural aging
Do they have to be injected for maximum results? The thought of someone finding a needle of mine isn't something I like. Lifters get a bad enough stigma and most normal people will have no idea what I mean by peptides.
There are some oral GH secretagogues, but most of them need to be injected. Honestly, you'd be surprised at how many people would find it cool and fascinating that you're using peptides. They are starting to become more mainstream especially in the biohacking and fitness space
Hey Doc loved your video very informative even for someone like me new to this... I am 39 years old I weight 93kg and I am 1.85m I trained a lot in my younger years martial arts, soccer, gym was in great shape and I have lost 50% of my muscle size I guess with age and lack of training...I would like to get back in shape maybe even better than before so I am asking what I should I be taking and how ? And thank you in advance
Thanks man I appreciate that! If you'd like one on one advice you'd have to become a patient of mine! Give us a call if you'd like to do that 480 508 4226
Good content, but more geared towards health professionals that understand all of those terms. If those were boil down to simpler terms and maybe with images of where those specific body parts/internal organs are affected, that would be super helpful for a layman like myself to apply and test 😊
i am getting whole blood prolotherapy (PRP), i just added BPC157 (pill) ostarine 12.5mg and MK677 12.5mg lets see how things go so far PRP saved my life.
What areas did you get your prolo? I've had about nine sessions but the area of pain around the sciatic nerve is illusive. Haven't had PRP yet. How have the peptides worked for you?
If you've had 9 sessions and you aren't more than 80% healed, something is not right. It could be that you were misdiagnosed and the structures your doctor is injecting are not what are actually causing you pain.
@@DrewTimmermansND Thanks for the reply. I have to say I am at least 80% healed but it seems I've stalled in that one area. Had my prolo done in Nashville.
@@DrewTimmermansND depending on CC injected and the laxaty caused by a stupid chiro that i saw, some parts required more than 9 treatments but it was well worth it in the end. I can now train and lift heavy again at 50. I quit mk 677 harsh side effects, also ostarine and bpc. I got peg mgf, semoralin stop taking ipamoralin now its perfect. TB500 and BPC did not do much. The only thing remaining is the groin pain might check into sport medecin because my sport doctor moved to the US last year.
Cjc 1295 with dac or without dac? doc? I am confuse and try to do own research but can find a solid conclusion. Which one is better cjc1295 with dac or without dac? Thank you, god bless
@@DrewTimmermansND I have been on sermorelin for few month and nothing yet .. the doctor keeps telling me I have to be on it for at least 7 month to see any results... I am like at this point I should see something but nothing yet. I may stop .... do you know a good resource for peptide therapy? Like any online website? Thank you
I dont recommend injectable peptides from online websites. Too sketchy. One of the reasons I don't like sermorelin is because it takes too long to work
Everyone will be unique in how long they are on these as this will be based on their goals and their health. Once you stop, you'll likely have some mild reduction in the gains you saw, but as long as you don't become a couch potato you lose it all
I just started taking ipomoralin and CJC and after three weeks I am bigger but not sure if I am leaner. I think it causes what retention.. how long does it usually takes to show the result. Or the results are so subtle that I may not feel it ? Thank you for your videos
Depending on the dosing strategy, most people need to be on that for 8-12 weeks before they notive the lean mass gain. It's important though that your nutrition reflects your goals. Elevated growth hormone in the presence of severe caloric surplus will add both fat mass and lean mass, but don't lean people out. Also make sure you're dosing the peptides on an empty stomach (no food for 2 hours before and then wait at least 30 mins before eating again. Some people will notice mild water retention as that's one of the things GH can do.
@@DrewTimmermansND Thank you so much. I have noticed I am getting more water weight for sure and when I told that to my doctor she did not know what that is. I can feel like I am gaining a little bit of more muscles now but I think I need to consume less food to lean out … you are always super informative and helpful.. love your channel and I have watched all your videos. Thank you again sir.
@@DrewTimmermansND drew I have been on it for like 4 month now. My doctor wants me to be on it for 6 month. I am being honest no crazy improvements but I feel like I am getting muscle mass a little bit but nothing crazy. Is that safe that I stay on it for another 5 month ?
we generally recommend you draw up the cjc into one syringe and inject it, then draw up the ipa with a new syringe and inject it. if we don't know the sources, we don't mix
I tried it…felt that it helped me recover from injuries really fast but it gave me super bad acid reflux for some reason. Instantly after I injected it.
@@DrewTimmermansND thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I already got the serm/ipa combo. But, I’ll keep your advice in mind for next time. Thanks again
i am 6 months on ipam and cjc(200-200 a day/5 days on 2 off). I dint feel the flush anymore but my sleep feels great with dreams. I want to check my hgh levels. Should i guve blood after injection, or it doesnt matter?
Weird question. I’m taking cjc/ipa but I work continental shifts. No issues when on days( I just take before bed) but when I’m on nights should I take in the morning before I go to sleep or continue at night so it stays with my natural rhythm?
I think you should experiment with both. Do one round of nights where you always do it in the morning before sleep, and one round where you always do it at night. Then you can look back and see which one worked better for you. I don't know if there is a right answer or not
@@DrewTimmermansND continental shift is 2 days on, 2 days off, 2 days on, 3 days off, 3 days on,2 days off. I’m guessing best just to take at night all the time. Thanks for the reply Doc
We will generally cycles these - several months on and then take a few months off. Some patients are on for longer, some shorter. There is no standard 'rule' because it depends on the patient and the clinical scenario
Would love to see how does it stands up against the mod GRF and Ipamorelin combo for its muscle building (direct and indirect) effects. MK-677 seems to be a great (cheaper) and safe alternative to these peptides. Been doing some research but their is not much information regarding peptides vs this other secretagogue molecule.
@@adrianquintana773 I actually did some experiments with it. Had blood work done and it did indeed elevate gh and IGF. However...it will make you eat, and no amount of will power will control the ghrellin impulse your brain is pumping out. It is definitely functional, but the increased food consumption better be part of your plan.
@@enntense Understood, seems great, no side effects on total testosterone given the increased cortisol levels? This seems to be the safer alternative if getting into "enhanced" bodybuilding. Also, if you don't mind, where did you source your MK-677 from?
@@mustafabayraktar7754 that's not something I can answer because everything in medicine is a risk benefit analysis. So in 1 person it could be a 1, in another person it could be a 9
Can you fill the syringe with 300mg with one and then take that syringe and add another 300mg of the other so you are basically only having to inject one time.
@@DrewTimmermansND Thanks for your response. If bulking is the goal Can we eat a high protein meal and moderate carbs just after injecting Ghrp 6 ? I have heard that we should not eat carbs 1 hour before and after injecting the Ghrps. What is your advice ?
@@DrewTimmermansND @Drew Timmermans, ND Sir I eat just after 15-20 minutes of injecting. It makes me too hungry. I have heard that we should not eat carbs after injecting Growth hormone or GHRP. Can I add carbohydrates as well in my high protein meal ?
Yes you can add carbs, especially if you want to grow because the insulin will make the GH work better. You should try to wait 30 mins to ensure full GH effects
Really nice information presented in a surprisingly engaging way given the topic. However, your pronunciation of so many of the Latin or Latin-root words was grating to say the least. That really took away from any subversive aspect you might have wanted from the audience.
The information was very well appreciated, however, the continuous smacking pause breaks made it extremely difficult to listen to. I suspect that's because it was done by memory and not written down.
