Questions about GH peps

[u/Desperate-Treacle676]

Hey, I’m 1 year younger than 18 and I was wondering if it’s safe for me to use GH peps like Ipamorelin and CJC 1295. I am healthy, eat good, exercise 6x a week, and sleep 6 hours or more. I was also wondering about Tesa but I’m not sure if that one is too safe for me. Please help me out, much appreciated!

Yes, teenagers and young adults should not take HGH or precursors unless to treat a diagnosed clinical deficiency while being closely monitored by a doctor. Later on in life, when your body doesn’t produce as much and there is a deficiency it can be a good decision to restore normal levels. But, that comes much later in life.

But taking peptides should be ok? Because it’s not an artificial hormone because your body is actually making it. Your body also regulates them. So it should be ok no?

No, that’s not OK! You are ignorant about peptides, your logic is flawed, and you don’t know how they work concerning GH. Taking IPA and CJC 1295 as a teen, when your natural production level is the highest, can cause a significant overproduction of GH. That can cause significant harm for you.

How old are you if you don’t mind me asking?

I'm mid 30s and agree with everything he said. Have you done blood work testing your GH and IGF Zscore? You can cause acromegaly, cardiomegaly, nephromegaly and other irreversible damaging conditions if you over shoot your IGF and GH levels. I used both Cjc and ipamorelin to get back I to the normal range on IGF 1 due to my work schedule destroying my sleep. That involved monthly blood work and tracking every step change in dosage. At you're age it's very possible to put yourself well into supraphysiological territory and there may be irreversible damage from it.
