Is cjc/ipa something you can cycle with Tesa? Like 8-12 weeks of tesa the 8-12 weeks of the other? Or does stacking them make sense? My lab rat is just morbidly obese. Already on Reta- just trying to burn visceral fat

That’s correct. 3 reasons to cycle off after 12-16 weeks. 1. Pituitary Desensitization 2. Massive sustained spike in IGF-1 levels and systemic side effects (ie. water retention, joint stiffness, etc) 3. Latent Glucose Intolerance when overused a period of time.

Immanuel is right. Even though the Wolverine stack is known as a “healing” peptide, the side effects joint stiffness from Tesa is usually from fluid retention and not from an injury of ligaments/tendons. Literally has no impact/effect.

I would say majority from the community have reported water retention for the first 2 weeks and it usually drops off after 3-4 weeks. I personally had this side effect effect when I was on it for 10 weeks. The effects are also exaggerated when you consume a lot of salt in your diet. I definitely had that experience (from salty foods/dishes). Of course everyone reacts to Tesa different and varies with dosage.

You can’t cycle CJC with Tesa. They’re the targeting the same receptors. However, ipamorelin and tesa stacks very well as they are on different pathways. Tesa does a good job in targeting visceral fat and is backed up by clinical studies. It’s not a matter of how fast you can lose visceral fat. All of these work on the Somatotropic Axis (Growth Hormone). Reta can work synergistically to burn both visceral and subcutaneous fat. I recommend knowing where you’re visceral fat values before starting on Tesa. If youre only looking at your BF% and weight, it’s not enough metrics for to track visceral fat as these are in the deeper parts around your organs.

Thank you. I did I dexa and it’s there in black and white but I’m not sure of the actual values unless I bring up pdf again. But the girls said I was over 6lbs and need to get it down to 2? Chat gpt also noticed it but they gave values in percentages. Either way the test subject needs to lose some fat.
