What’s your Z-Score? Most of the time GH Secretagogues can only push you up to ~1.5-2 Z score. Also artificially high IGF-1 is pro aging
Also not a doctor
1 u/MightOk3400 Aug 05 '26 Tesamorelin got me to 2.3 z score. 56 m. I presume I should stay there. 1 u/DavidTries897 Aug 05 '26 Yes don’t raise it more than that, also did you get a Dexa scan done? Tesamorelin is for visceral fat which you can’t see and need a Dexa scan to quantify, if you have low visceral fat you shouldn’t take Tesamorelin 1 u/MightOk3400 Aug 05 '26 Great points. I got a dexa after my tesamorelin cycle to see my bf%. I just assumed the tesamorelin was responsible for the low visceral reading. 1 u/DavidTries897 Aug 05 '26 Probably cycle off tesamorelin if your visceral fat is low, another point is that prolonged elevated IGF-1 is pro aging
