A uniquely structured synthetic form of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone, Tesamorelin appears to cause changes in visceral fat accumulation, muscle mass, non-HDL cholesterol and more.

SHR # 2368 :: RLRx: The Unique Effects of Tesamorelin
Show Notes:
[2:40] Carl and Adam discuss the GHK-Cu peptide and LL-37.
- GHK-Cu can regrow hair.
- We have a pep-talk in the archives covering GHK-Cu.
- Microdermal needling units can improve the topical application of GHK-Cu.
- LL-37 is an antifungal. We also have an archived show on it.
- Those with neuropathy may want to look into LL-37.
- Fungal and candida infection can shut off proton pumps and mess with digestion. LL-37 helps to solve this problem.
[13:28] Tesamorelin.
- It’s not cheap, but it is cheaper than GH.
[14:44] Research on Tesamorelin.
- It is a GH releasing hormone analogue with its own unique set of benefits.
- Things that promote HGH release have their own set of benefits besides just the GH release.
- Those benefits include muscle growth and lipolysis of visceral fat.
- Tesamorelin can also lower LDL and triglycerides.
- These effects are more subtle than what the following GH release will give you, but they are unique in their own right.
[18:39] Tesamorelin also increases phosphocreatine storage capacity in muscles.
- IGF-1 levels in muscle quadrupled in the study that Carl mentions.
[20:15] Kidney function is addressed.
- Myoglobin is released from the muscles. This clogs up the kidneys.
- Creatine and meat can raise CK and creatinine levels. This can give a false positive for kidney failure, making myoglobin the true measure of kidney damage.
[35:14] You should never take MK-677.
- It exhausts the pituitary gland.
[39:40] Does tesamorelin have to be taken on an empty stomach?
- It is recommended because you need to keep insulin low in order to let the GH work at maximum effect.
- Carl recommends stacking with a ghrelin agonist such as GHRP-6 or GHRP-2.
- Men should use 100mcg of the agonist,and women should use 50mcg. Anything above this dose will be beyond saturation, and will give one ravenous hunger, spike cortisol, and partition nutrients to fat instead of muscle.
[44:25- 44:38] “ When you freak your body out….”
- Blood glucose may drop if you fast, but it could spike through the roof if you break your fast with the wrong meal.
- Body temperature should go up after a large meal..
[55:00] Pegylated MGF.
- This makes the compound more stable.
- It is a splice variant of IFG-1.
- Aids in recovery of muscle.
- Good for injuries.
- Can be used sub-q as long as it’s localized.
- peptides and stem cells seek out the nearest receptors.
[58:10] Renewliferx.com
- They offer much more than just testosterone therapy.
- They can prescribe just tesamorelin as long as you are compliant with bloodwork, physical, etc.
