Peptide timing question
Going to try out CJC (no DAC)/ Ipam 100mcg each twice per day. Problem is scheduling of the injections. Empty stomach seems to be more important with peptides than it is for GH, which I have run in the past with good results. I eat every 2 to 3 hours with first meal at around 5:30 and last at around 8:30 pm. With GH I would eat breakfast and then about an hour later pin my first dose in my office. I would then eat about 1.5 hours later. I would then pin my second dose about an 1/2 hour after my pre-workout meal (meal at around 11 am) which would be about 1/2 hour before I start sipping my intraworkout shake. Question is would this timing be ok with peptides?
I cannot pin at home for various reasons (mainly I have 2 little ones who can randomly pop up in various locations in the house at a moments notice at any hour..yay ; ) ) Also, if it matters, I will be running these for 3 to 4 months starting in PCT till my cycle and as such am not really looking to use them to lose bodyfat but to maintain what I gained during my cycle. Next cycle will be for cutting and will switch to 1.5 to 2IU of GH per day.

The "standard" suggestion is 3 times daily. Once upon waking, once post workout, and one immediately before bed. No carbs 1-2 hours before pinning, and no carbs 30 mins afterwards. This is because the peptides utilize ghrelin to stimulate gh production in the body.
Also, dosages of the peptides are usually 100mcg each per shot, if you want the canned response as well. Total of 300mcg each per day.
Thanks. I know the usual protocol my question was based upon my eating/workout schedule (breakfast with carbs 5:30, meal with carbs 8:00 am, meal with carbs 10:30 am, intraworkout 12:30-1:30 or so, postworkout shake with small amount of carbs 2 pm, meal with carbs 4:30 pm, meal with carbs 8:00 pm) along with constraint of not being to pin at home, what would be optimal. Today was first day and I pinned 100mcg each at 7:30 am and again at noon. Will see how that works out.
Right after workouts is good. You can also pin 3 times a day 100mcg.
Pin when you wake up, before lunch, before bed is also an option. GH is right about right. Really don’t know because you didn’t post your stats.......
Thanks.
Stats are pretty accurate in bio..right now 43 years old, 6' 240 BF somewhere between 12 and 15 percent I would guess. So if I finish my intraworkout (BCAA and highly branched dextrin combo) about 30 minutes prior to injecting and then have another shake (mostly protein with maybe a banana) that would be ok?
You want to avoid carbs a few hrs before pinning and 30-45mins after pinning.
Thanks.
