Since i think you cant link other forums because i think it violates the rules on this forums I will copy paste every peptide and explanation on what it does, effects and sides. Here we go:

GHRP-2:

GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2) is a growth hormone secretagogue of the hexapeptide class. Sharing many similarities with GHRP-6, GHRP-2 is the first in this class of hormones, and in many circles, is considered the better choice between it and GHRP-6. It is not a hormone that is often used alone but is almost always used with a Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) such as PEG-MGF. The compound may also be commonly found under the names Pralmorelin or GHRP Kaken 100. However, in most pharmaceutical and performance based circles, it has in recent years been most commonly referred to as GHRP-2.

GHRP-2 Functions and Traits
GHRP-2 first acts as a Growth Hormone (GH) increasing agent. Comprised of six amino acids, the peptide functions by stimulating natural GH production along with the production and release of ghrelin. The release of ghrelin is important as it also aids in boosting GH release in the body. With GHRP-2, this is accomplished by the peptide suppressing somatostatin, a hormone that limits the release of GH in the body.

As ghrelin is released, the body becomes hungry. GHRP-6 is well known for causing extreme increases in appetite, which may or may not be a problem depending on individual need or goals. GHRP-2 will release the same ghrelin in the body, but should not do so in a way that promotes such a significant increase in hunger. Some increase in appetite is unavoidable, but GHRP-2 does tend to have a far less impact on appetite than GHRP-6. In short, GHRP-2 aids in the promotion of natural GH production in the body, which carries with it numerous performance as well as health benefits for the user.

Effects of GHRP-2
The effects of GHRP-2 can be beneficial to the off-season athlete as it will help with growth. However, when used alone it is going to be a week choice. Off-season athletes will find growth enhanced when used with other performance-based items, and they will find such items are more effective with the presence of elevated levels of GH in the body. Equally important, the individual should be able to maintain a lower level of body fat that often increases during off-season periods of growth due to the necessary caloric surplus needed for muscular growth.

During a cutting phase is when the effects of GHRP-2 may be most beneficial due to increased levels of GH aiding tremendously with fat loss. Individuals with elevated levels of GH in the body provided naturally or otherwise will experience greater levels of fat loss. Due to the increased levels of hunger associated with use, although less than with GHRP-6, some users may find this bothersome. However, hunger is always part of dieting regardless of compounds used.

GHRP-6 is also useful to any athlete or individual on the basis of what elevated levels of GH mean to the human body. Elevated levels of GH carry with it numerous health and physical benefits and may be the primary tool in anti-aging plans. Those who possess higher levels of GH will find the following:

More Powerful Metabolism
Increased Recovery (post training or any physical activity)
Improved Sleep
Stronger Immune System
Healthier Skin
Stronger Bones & Joints
Increased IGF-1 (aides in recovery and affects nearly all cells of the human body)
Side Effects of GHRP-2
The side effects of GHRP-2 should not be severe if occurring at all for most individuals if the hormone is used responsibly. However, side effects of GHRP-2 are possible, although much milder than compared to many hormones.

Estrogenic: Estrogenic side effects of GHRP-2 should not exist as the peptide does not cause any aromatization. However, gynecomastia in sensitive individuals, particularly those with preexisting gynecomastia is possible. High doses of GHRP-2 may increase prolactin significantly in sensitive men leading to prolactin based gynecomastia.

Androgenic: There are no associated androgenic side effects of GHRP-2. Hair loss and acne are not possible. Virilization symptoms in women are not possible with this peptide.

Cardiovascular: There are no negative cardiovascular side effects associated with GHRP-2. Many users may find their cardiovascular health improves with elevated levels of GH.

Testosterone: GHRP-2 will not suppress natural testosterone production.

Hepatotoxicity: GHRP-2 is not toxic to the liver and will produce no liver damage.
For those who use GHRP-2, the most common side effect will be an irritated injection site. This will normally remedy itself by finding new areas of the body to administer the peptide. Some users may also experience swollen ankles or wrist as well as carpel tunnel like symptoms when use first begins. Lowering the dose and easing into higher doses if necessary can normally remedy such issues. Some users may also find issues with blood sugar control and may need to adjust their diets accordingly. Such blood sugar issues may produce mild to severe headaches. Elevated levels of cortisol are also possible but are normally only associated with very high doses, such doses should be avoided.

GHRP-2 Administration
GHRP-2 will come in dry powder (Lyophilized) form and will be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water. It may be found as an individual item or as part of an overall GHRH mixture. Some pharmacies provide GHRH compounds with added GHRP-2 or GHRP-6. The compound may be injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly depending on individual preference. Once reconstituted, GHRP-2 must be kept refrigerated.

GHRP-2 can be used indefinitely and will normally be used continuously in anti-aging plans that call for it with a GHRH. Dosing can range dramatically depending on need with 100-300mcg per day being commonplace. If used with a GHRH, which is recommended, the dose may often be towards the lower end of the scale. For optimal results, the user will find two injections per day on an empty stomach to be best. If done subcutaneously this should prove to be the easiest method as it will be the least intrusive.

Buy GHRP-2 Online
You can buy GHRP-2 online from almost any peptide resource or research chemical company. Such companies produce and sell this and related compounds thanks to a gray area in that law that allows for a legal purchase. In the U.S. such purchases are legal if made for research purposes only, but this also means purchases made for personal use are illegal. You can also buy GHRP-2 from numerous pharmacies around the U.S. but such purchases will require a prescription. Before you buy GHRP-2 online or from any outlet, it is imperative that you understand the laws of where you live as they can vary greatly from one country to the next.

GHRP-2 Reviews
GHRP-2, on the basis of ease of use and its side effect friendly nature as well as often affordable price, it is one of the more appealing items in this class of hormones. Users should not expect it to provide Human Growth Hormone (HGH) like effects even if used with a GHRH, but it is a suitable option and one that is far more affordable. ‘Human Growth Hormone like effects’ referring to effects at the same rate.

Despite “Growth” being part of the name, users should also not expect massive amounts of muscle mass to be added due to use. Many users are often disappointed in the results produced by GHRP-2 and related compounds because they don’t understand their purpose. The same can even be said of HGH. It is a solid addition to any performance-based stack, but in anti-aging circles this is where you’ll find it’s most beneficial.

GHRP-6:

GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Hexapeptide) is a peptide hormone of the Growth Hormone (GH) class. The purpose of GHRP-6 as is with all related peptides is to increase the amount of natural GH production in the body. Increases in GH can be beneficial to anabolism, fat loss, recovery and general well being as well as serve possible anti-aging purposes.

GHRP-6 Functions and Traits
GHRP-6, and this applies to all GHRP hormones, mimic the production of ghrelin. This mode of action stimulates the ghrelin receptors, GHS-R1a or Growth Hormone Secretagogue. This stimulation acts to increase GH production by stimulating the pituitary, specifically the ghrelin receptors located in the pituitary.

When the body is in a fasted state, this is when ghrelin levels are elevated. When the fasted state is met by elevated ghrelin activity, the resulting stimulation can lead to a greater production of GH in the body. However, the increase in ghrelin does not end with increases in GH. Elevated ghrelin is also known to stimulate the appetite, which may be useful for those who need excess calories to grow yet find eating difficult. Alternatively, the hormone will promote fat loss and more importantly enhance the rate of recovery. However, while ghrelin has been shown to promote recovery, in cases of GHRP-6 and elevated GH levels it is more likely that the corresponding elevated levels of IGF-1 play a larger role. IGF-1 levels will not spike at the rate comparable to direct Human Growth Hormone (HGH) use as the pulsating effect of GHRP-6 is short-lived.

Test 600x

GHRP-6 is also a hormone that is dependent on glucose, specifically when blood sugar levels are low. Elevated levels of blood sugar will render GHRP-6 weaker, meaning it must be taken during a fasted state for any intended benefit to be had.

Effects of GHRP-6
The effects of GHRP-6 run very deep, but if you are looking for a single performance enhancing item this is not the one for you. GHRP-6 can provide performance enhancing benefits; however, it will not at a significant rate when used alone. This peptide will show far greater benefits when used as part of a long-term anti-aging plan (Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)) or in conjunction with other medications used to enhance performance.

For the athlete or bodybuilder, GHRP-6 may be used in conjunction with Mod GRF 1-29 in lieu of HGH use. HGH will produce far greater results for the athlete, but the GHRP-6/Mod GRF 1-29 will only cost a fraction of HGH.

The off-season athlete should be able to make increased gains in size with GHRP-6 use as elevated levels of GH will have an anabolic effect as well as help enhance the effectiveness of other drugs used, such as anabolic steroids. The athlete will also find his body fat increases at a slower or lesser rate than without, as elevated levels of GH will increase the metabolic rate. However, when used alone the individual should not expect any more growth than he would have had he not included the hormone.

GHRP-6 may be far more useful to the athlete during a cutting or dieting phase, but again only with a compound like Mod GRF 1-29 being used with it. The increased metabolism will help him lose more fat; in fact, fat loss should be far more significant with than without. Recovery should also be greatly improved. Recovery is important when bulking or cutting but can become far more difficult when dieting due to the necessary calorie restrictions. Some men may, however, find the compound does increase their appetite so heavily that dieting becomes all the more arduous. However, this increase in hunger is not guaranteed nor is it assured to occur at the same level in each individual. Appetite or hunger related effects are highly dependent on the individual, and with a well-planned diet most should not have an issue.

HRT, this will be the primary beneficial period of GHRP-6 use. This may apply to male or female HRT. HRT patients that include GHRP-6 as part of their plan will do so for long to indefinite periods of time in an effort to maintain elevated levels of GH continuously in a body that otherwise produces a suboptimal amount. Such HRT patients, along with proper diet and assuming all their other hormone levels are optimal via natural or therapeutic means can expect the following:

Decreased levels of body fat
Improved sleep
Stronger immune system
Stronger bones
Healthier skin
Improved recovery
Increased energy (not due directly to use but due to other effects of improved health)
Side Effects of GHRP-6
There are not too many side effects related to the use of GHRP-6 although side effects are possible. The side effects of GHRP-6 should be similar if not identical to any GH related peptide or hormone, and in most cases, should be avoidable or adaptable except in rare cases.

[1] Skin Irritation:

Some users may find slight irritations at the injected area (injection sight). Such irritation should not be extremely painful but may be sore and or itchy. In most cases, moving injection sites to other areas of the body will remedy the issue. If site rotation does not work, it may take getting used to over time; however, in rare cases the individual will always experience slight irritation.

[2] Tingling:

Some users of GH products may notice a tingling sensation in their hands and or feet. This is most commonly associated with high doses and very high doses of GH levels in the body, but it can occur even with low to moderate dosing in some cases. Most users should find this to fade as use continues but it may not in some rare cases.

[3] Headache:

The side effects of GHRP-6 can include a decent headache in some users due to a strong drop in blood sugar. Diet adjustments will often remedy the problem, but it’s important to remember fasted use is the only true beneficial use. The individual may need to reduce dosing until the body becomes accustomed.

[4] Gynecomastia:

The side effects of GHRP-6 can include gynecomastia in very rare cases due to the peptide possibly increasing prolactin levels. However, such an issue may only exist in users who already have gynecomastia and simply exasperate the problem. An individual who does not have gynecomastia will not develop it due to GHRP-6 use. Prolactin elevations, while possible will not be of a significant rate, massive, truly massive doses withstanding, and even then it would be difficult.

GHRP-6 Administration

GHRP-6, like all GH compounds, is a water base injectable compound. This peptide will most commonly come in lyophilized form and will requiring mixing with bacteriostatic water. GHRP-6 will normally be found in 1mg, 2mg, 3mg and 5mg dosed vials.

GHRP-6 injections can be administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Doses must be administered on a daily basis at minimum with 2-3 doses being far more optimal. Total daily doses may range from 50-500mcg per injection depending on individual need. If another Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) is used, such as Mod GRF 1-29, the total amount of GHRP-6 needed will be reduced with a range of 50-150mcg per dose being optimal.

Important notes:

GHRP-6 must be kept refrigerated after mixed
GHRP-6 must be administered when blood sugar levels are low
Food should not be consumed for 30-60min after administering GHRP-6
Vials of GHRP-6 will lose potency in less than four weeks after mixed.
Availability of GHRP-6
GHRP-6 is widely available through research chemical companies and increasingly through compound pharmacies that specialize in HRT medications. The price range can vary greatly depending on the outlet but 2mg should can run as little as $20 and should not be much more than $35 per 2mg. There is no shortage of GHRP-6 and it should not be difficult to find for any user.

Buy GHRP-6 Online
You can buy GHRP-6 online through many of the research chemical companies that sell peptides, ancillaries and other non-controlled substance medications. The ability to buy GHRP-6 online in this manner exists due to a loophole in the law that allows such purchases to be made for research purposes only inside the U.S. Purchases online or otherwise is not legal for individual use without a prescription in the U.S. Before making a purchase, it is important you understand the law as it pertains to where you live as the law can vary greatly from one country to the next.

GHRP-6 Reviews
GHRP-6 is an excellent peptide hormone; in fact, its benefits far outweigh many of the peptide hormones and GH fragments on the market of which there are numerous. However, those who do not like it will normally be left unsatisfied due to using it for the wrong reasons. GHRP-6 is not going to make you huge, it is not going to increase strength tremendously and it not a performance athletes best choice when supplementation is based on performance.

GHRP-6 will always hold the primary benefit of promoting a healthier individual and in HRT plans. For the athlete, it can be a solid addition to an already well thought out plan, but it cannot be stressed enough, when used alone, for the athlete, it’s not going to be worth much. Yes, using GHRP-6 will be better than no HGH supplementation, but for the athlete, only when combined with another GHRH.

HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin or hCG or HCG is a [powerful polypeptide hormone found in pregnant women. The HCG hormone was first discovered in the 1920’s and sold as an extract by the pharmaceutical giant Organon under the Pregynl name. There were numerous reported benefits of administering HCG to a host of varying patients, and while some were indeed beneficial others would prove to be quite ridiculous. HCG was initially used to treat the following:

Froehlich’s Syndrome
Cryptochidism
Obesity
Depression
Female Infertility
Uterine Bleeding
Amenorrhea
By the 1960’s HCG extract was no longer used as a science had developed the means of filtering and purifying the urine of pregnant women to obtain a cleaner more sanitary HCG hormone. It is still used in a therapeutic setting, most commonly for:

Cryptochidism
Female Infertility
Hypogonadism (Low Testosterone)
Weight Loss
Pituitary Growth HormoneHCG is also regularly used by many anabolic steroid users as a secondary item along side anabolic steroid use or after use has been discontinued. During anabolic steroid use, the idea behind supplementation is to combat hormonal suppression that occurs due to steroid use. Use after anabolic steroid use is implemented in order to enhance or produce a more efficient recovery. Both points of use are, however, highly debated among numerous steroid users.

HCG Functions & Traits:

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a polypeptide hormone found in pregnant women during the early stages of pregnancy. The hormone is created in the placenta and is largely responsible for the continued production of progesterone, which itself is an essential hormone to pregnancy. The HCG hormone is also the standard measuring tool in pregnancy test. Once conception occurs, HCG levels begin to increase and can be detected by a standard home pregnancy test. The hormone will then peak approximately 8-12 weeks into pregnancy and then gradually decrease until birth.

When examining the functions and traits of HCG the only one of notable worth in both therapeutic or performance settings is in its ability to mimic the Luteinizing Hormone (LH). While perhaps slightly simplistic, HCG is exogenous LH, the primary gonadotropin along with Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). This is beneficial to the female patient as such gonadotropins stimulate conception; LH is also the primary gonadotropin responsible for the stimulation of natural testosterone production. This is the precise reason some anabolic steroid users will use it and the primary reason it is used in many low testosterone treatment plans. When LH is released, it signals to the testicles to produce more testosterone, which is more than beneficial if natural LH production is low.

HCG, while we can call it exogenous LH is not LH but rather mimics the hormone. This makes it beneficial to the steroid user post cycle as it will prime the body for the total Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) to come, which will normally include Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM’s). While its functions do not change despite the purpose of use, as we look at the effects of HCG we will find use needs to be regulated heavily.

Effects of HCG:
One of the primary effects of HCG in the modern era is as a diet aid. The HCG diet has rapidly become popular in western medicine, but the overall effectiveness is perhaps the most debatable topic surrounding HCG. Both the American Medical Associated and American Society of Bariatric Physicians have been highly critical of the HCG diet. Both organizations have stated the only reason weight loss occurs is due to the starvation that often accompanies such a plan. HCG diets are often comprised of a total caloric intake of only 500 calories per day. When we look at the effects of HCG on the metabolism we further find it carries no thyroid stimulating abilities, it is not a beta-2 stimulant, it does not suppress or curb appetite and carries no functions or traits associated with a thermogenic or fat burning agent. However, numerous physicians have reported success with the HCG diet, but the starvation factor is met with a lot of criticism as this in of itself cannot be deemed a healthy long-term practice. Currently there is no solid evidence that the HCG diet itself is the reason for such patients experience weight loss that would not occur without HCG use if the same starvation plan was implemented. The debate on this diet will, however, more than likely continue for many years to come.

The effects of HCG on the anabolic steroid user can be broken down into two separate categories, PCT use and on cycle use. Due to the use of anabolic steroids, natural testosterone production is suppressed. The rate of suppression is dependent on the steroids being used and to a degree the total doses, but it is generally significant. Once the use of all anabolic steroids comes to an end, natural testosterone production will begin again on its own. However, this assumes there was no prior existing low testosterone condition or severe damage caused to the HPTA during anabolic steroid use due to improper practices. While production does begin again on its own, it is a very slow process. There will be a period of very low testosterone levels and often the symptoms associated with such a condition. Such symptoms cannot only be bothersome, but they often cause the steroid user to lose a lot of the muscle mass he’s gained due to cortisol now becoming the dominant hormone in testosterones absence. For this reason most steroid users will implement a PCT plan in order to enhance recovery. This will speed up the recovery process. It will not return your levels to normal on its own, but it will ensure you have enough testosterone for proper bodily function while your levels continue to naturally rise.

There are several PCT plans we can implement, most all will include SERM’s such as Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) and/or Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate). However, many have found that if a PCT plan begins with HCG prior to SERM use the total recovery is enhanced. In a sense, HCG mimics LH and primes the body for the SERM therapy to come producing a far more efficient recovery.

The second positive effect of HCG for the anabolic steroid user is use during a cycle of anabolic steroids. Due to steroid use, this will cause testicular atrophy due to the now suppressed state of natural testosterone production. By supplementing with HCG during steroid use, the individual can keep his testicles full. While this is merely a cosmetic effect that presents no strategic benefit, there is a possible benefit to be had. By keeping the body primed with exogenous LH, this can lead to an easier road of recovery once use of all anabolic steroids has been discontinued, but there’s also a problem. It is very easy, extremely easy for the body to become dependent on HCG for its LH needs, while the human body cannot become dependent on anabolic steroids it most certainly can HCG. For the low testosterone patient who’s using HCG, this is of no concern. However, if you are not a low testosterone patient HCG use on cycle must be regulated heavily and monitored closely in order to ensure an LH dependency does not occur. Many anabolic steroid users have done far more damage to their body with HCG use than most any anabolic steroids due to overzealous HCG use. Such on cycle use can, however, be very beneficial as it can help with the individual easing into a more efficient recovery, but it must be responsible use. Truly, regardless of the period of use, on cycle or as a kick start to PCT, HCG use must be regulated.

Side Effects of HCG:
HCG is one of the most side effect friendly hormones in existence. There are possible side effects of HCG use but they are extremely rare. Side effects commonly associated with traditional medicines such as gastrointestinal issues, headaches, rashes or other related occurrences are impossible. The primary possible side effects of HCG will be similar to the side effects most commonly associated with high levels of testosterone, predominantly those of an estrogenic nature. This isn’t surprising when we consider HCG has the ability to stimulate testosterone production and thereby increase levels.

While unlikely gynecomastia and excess water retention are possible due to HCG use. If the peptide is being used on cycle, such issues are rarely a concern as anti-estrogen medications are commonly being used. If used during a PCT plan, while HCG doses are normally high during this phase total use is typically very short lived and brings no issue of concern. As for other purposes of HCG use, total doses will be extremely low and should once again cause no concern. As you can see, when it comes to the side effects of HCG this is an extremely friendly hormone. However, keep in mind the issue of LH dependency that can occur due to abuse, and even in cases of no abuse such dependency may still be possible. If dependency occurs, this would result in a low testosterone condition.

HCG Administration:
There are several purposes of HCG use, and as a result, several HCG dosing protocols. For the purpose of ovarian stimulation (fertility aid) HCG is administered at a precise point during the menstrual cycle at a dose of 5,000-10,000iu’s. Then we have the treatment of low testosterone, which can last anywhere from 6 weeks to a full year. Short-term plans will normally call for 500-1,000lu’s 3 times per week for 3 weeks followed by 500-1,000iu’s 2 times per week for 3 weeks. Long term HCG doses will normally fall in the 4,000iu range and are given 3 times per week for 6=9 months. This will normally be followed by 3 more months of therapy at a dose of 2,000 3 times per week.

Then we have the anabolic steroid user, specifically the steroid user using HCG while on cycle. For this purpose, an HCG dose of 250iu every 4-5 days is not only standard but as far as most will want to take it. This will be enough HCG to produce the desired outcome and should not be exceeded if future natural testosterone production is to be protected.

The final HCG dosing plan will surround PCT use and there are two suitable protocols. The first method of use calls for 1,500-4,000iu’s to be administered every 3-4 days for a period of 2-3 weeks. Once this period of use comes to an end SERM therapy will begin again. A second option and perhaps more efficient is to administer HCG daily at a dose of 500-1,000iu’s per day for 10 days straight. Once this phase of use has come to an end SERM therapy will begin.

If HCG is used during your PCT, timing is very important. If your steroid cycle ends with any large ester based steroids HCG therapy will begin 10 days after your last injection and then be followed by SERM therapy once HCG use is complete. If your steroid cycle ends with all small ester base steroids, you will begin HCG therapy 3 days after your last injection and follow it with SERM therapy once HCG use is complete.

Availability of HCG:
HCG is widely available on both the pharmaceutical and black markets. Counterfeits should not be an issue of concern. However, while it is easily obtainable on the black market it is a controlled substance in the U.S.; you will need a prescription. Unfortunately, HCG is also extremely expensive on the pharmaceutical market and often less than half the price on the black market. This inevitably sends many to the black market for their HCG needs as the same brands can be obtained for half the cost, sometimes less. Typically, you will find anabolic steroid suppliers to commonly carry HCG.

Regardless of your mode of purchase, all HCG will come in two ampules, one with powder and one with sterile water. Simply mix the two together, draw out the desired amount and put the remainder in the refrigerator. If it is not refrigerated it will go bad.

Buy HCG Online - Warning:
You can easily buy HCG online, predominantly from anabolic steroid suppliers. The large internet based suppliers commonly carry the peptide. If you buy HCG online, you will find this is the most affordable way to obtain it and you can easily obtain all you want. As the quality is rarely poor this only enhances the appeal of such a purchase. However, as a controlled substance in the U.S. if you are caught making a purchase it can easily result in heavy fines and prison time.

Before you buy HCG online, you are encouraged to understand the law as it pertains to where you live. The law varies greatly from country to country, and while some as similarly strict as the U.S. many are far more lenient. However, keep in mind most do not allow an online purchase of this nature. The laws in many countries are lax but still require the purchase to be made at the pharmacy. Again, understand the law as it pertains to where you live.

Due to the often strict and sometimes confusing laws surround HCG and other compounds, you are encouraged to visit the sponsors here at Steroid.com. The sponsors here at Steroid.com can legally provide you high quality anabolics as well as fat burning supplements. For your testosterone needs, such as those suffering from low testosterone and are interested in HCG therapy, please visit lowtestosterone.com.

HCG Reviews:
HCG is a highly beneficial hormone in fertility stimulation and in the treatment of low testosterone. In fact, it is rapidly becoming an integral part of many low testosterone treatment plans. For the anabolic steroid user, the performance enhancing athlete, HCG can be beneficial but it can also be damaging. Many get very carried away with on cycle use and lead themselves to an early low testosterone condition. Granted, most men will benefit from testosterone therapy at some point in their life regardless, but many steroid users end up requiring sooner and often due to improper HCG use. The hormone can be beneficial but use must be kept moderate and monitored.

Hexarelin

Hexarelin, also known as Examorelin, is a Growth Hormone (GH), specifically a Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor (GHSR) of the hexapeptide class. Hexarelin is in many ways similar to GHRP-6; however, it has been shown to be much stronger producing a larger increase in naturally produced GH. Some data suggest it may be the strongest synthetic Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) on the market.

Hexarelin Functions and Traits
Hexarelin is comprised of a chain of amino acids that when administered stimulates the pituitary in a pulsating fashion causing it to release more GH into the body. Unfortunately, at this time it is not fully understood how Hexarelin causes such a strong increase in GH compared to say GHRP-6; data merely shows that the increase is significantly more.

Test 600x

The use of Hexarelin has also been shown to increase prolactin and cortisol levels in the body, far more so than other GH products. Prolactin increases should not be as strong as they may be with certain anabolic steroids, but they may be significant in some cases. Hexarelin will not increase Ghrelin levels in the body like GHRP-6 despite being very similar on a structural basis.

Data has also shown Hexarelin to be one of the faster acting GH products on the market but also one of the few that stops working after a set amount of time. GH levels should increase quickly and in a beneficial manner in as little as four weeks. However, use past the sixteen week mark has been shown to produce little to no results. Use of any worth will normally fall in the 8-12 week range with 4-6 weeks of no use (minimum) between Hexarelin cycles. The peptide will not render pituitary function (GH production) post use as will anabolic steroids in regards to the testicles, but it does appear to have a short lived actionable period of use.

Effects of Hexarelin
As with all GH products, Hexarelin carries with it numerous benefits. Because it is one of the most power GHRH hormones on the market, it may be the most beneficial to the performance athlete. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) will always be the most effective of all, but when it comes to GHRH items, fragments and the like, Hexarelin is perhaps the top choice.

The off-season athlete should find increases in mass and strength, increased recovery and an ability to maintain lower levels of body fat all a reality with this compound. As with any GH product, results will be dependent on diet and training routines, but also strongly dependent on the other items being used. The user will find his anabolic steroid cycle or other performance based items to be far more effective when using a GH product. He will not find a lot of benefit in terms of anabolism when used alone.

For the cutting athlete, much of what’s said for the off-season athlete can be said again, but in this case, it’s the fat loss, the enhanced metabolism that’s most beneficial. Recovery will also play a large role in terms of benefits being that recovery often suffers during a hard diet. Important note – although significant anabolism will not be present when used alone in an off-season, if used alone when cutting, increased rates in fat burning will certainly exist.

Perhaps the most beneficial effects of Hexarelin surround its healing properties. Data has shown this to be one of the most beneficial GH products in this regard. We cannot call it a suitable long-term option for the purpose of anti-aging due to the short-lived use that seems to exist, but it’s recovery type benefits are still hard to ignore. Such benefits can include:

Joint healing (not masking or false pain relief, but actual healing)
Strengthening of the Neural system
Muscle fiber repair (ideal for injuries)
Direct increase of bone density
Heart protection (some data has shown it may heal heart tissue, including the healing of scar tissue to the relieving of pressure at the left ventricle)
Side Effects of Hexarelin
The side effects of Hexarelin, there are more possible negative effects with this GH hormone than most but they should still be minimal in most cases. Most of the common yet infrequent side effects of GH can exist, but the side effects of Hexarelin do outnumber some of the other compounds GH related compounds:

Estrogenic: The side effects of Hexarelin do not include those of a direct estrogenic nature. Water retention is possible but not due to elevated levels of estradiol and can usually be corrected through diet, exercise or dosing adjustments.Hexarelin does not aromatize, but it can promote gynecomastia due to its ability to increase prolactin. This will not be a concern for most; it will most commonly be a concern for those who already possess active gynecomastia. However, in sensitive individuals or those who are already using items that increase prolactin, it could prove to be problematic.

Androgenic: The side effects of Hexarelin do not include any of an androgenic nature. Acne and hair loss are not possible with this peptide. Virilization symptoms cannot occur in women due to this peptide.

Cardiovascular: Cholesterol and blood pressure should not be negatively affected by the use of Hexarelin. Data has shown that the peptide may in fact improve heart health.

Hepatotoxicity: Hexarelin is not liver toxic.

Testosterone Suppression: Hexarelin will not suppress natural testosterone production.

Cortisol: The side effects of Hexarelin may include elevated levels of cortisol. How significant it will be appears to be very individualistic and may also be affected by other hormones you are taking. Individuals with elevated levels of cortisol may suffer from insomnia or restless sleep, they may experience fat gain despite proper diet and exercise, and they may find they have a weaker immune system. Depression, a decreased libido and increased anxiety may also be signs of elevated cortisol levels.

Hexarelin Administration
Hexarelin is administered via a subcutaneous injection. It will come in dry powder form and is mixed with bacteriostatic water. 200mcg per day appears to be the best dose for most in terms of benefits, although some may go as high as 400mcg per day. Users that use 400mcg per day do, however, run the risk of pituitary flair up. Most data shows benefits of 200mcg per day are not exceeded with higher doses of Hexarelin.

Due to the inactivity that will occur in time, 16 weeks of use max is the general recommendation with a minimum of 4 weeks of no use before starting again. Most users will find 8-12 weeks to be the most effective and beneficial time frame.

Buy Hexarelin Online
You can buy Hexarelin online from an online research chemical supply company. This will be the only place most will find it, and you will find the majority of related online vendors do not sell it. It can be one of the more expensive peptides available online and while not carried by all is carried by enough to find it. If you decide to buy Hexarelin online it is imperative that you first understand the laws of your country as they can vary from one to the next. In the U.S. such a purchase is legal but only for research purposes. You cannot legally buy Hexarelin online for individual personal use.

Hexarelin Reviews
Hexarelin does appear to have a lot of potential in the world of GH hormones. It may also be one of the more exciting ones being that it’s far less expensive than HGH and far more effective in terms of immediate benefits compared to most related items. However, because it is still a relatively new compound and because a lot of data still has holes, it’s very difficult to give a true opinion on this product at this time.

HGH Fragment 176-191

HGH Fragment (HGH Frag 176-191) is a peptide hormone of the Growth Hormone (GH) class. Specifically, HGH Frag 176-191 is as its name implies a fragment of the GH hormone, a piece or part of the GH hormone. Human Growth Hormone (HGH), the tail end of the hormone is cut off and what’s removed is HGH Frag 176-191. This is the part of HGH that represents its fat burning power. This will be the primary and perhaps only purpose of HGH Frag 176-191, for use in fat loss and dieting. The studies on HGH Frag 176-191 date back into the 1970’s and in the early 1980’s were confirmed in terms of the fragments ability to directly affect adipose tissue.

HGH Frag 176-191 Functions and Traits
HGH Fragment 176-191 is the end of the 191-amino acid Human Growth Hormone molecular chain. GH is a hormone produced by the pituitary. HGH is the synthetic version produced in a lab; both are comprised of the same 191-amino acid chain. GH, in particular elevated levels through the use of HGH have long been associated with fat loss. They have also been associated with increases in muscularity, recovery and a host of health and anti-aging benefits. For HGH Frag 176-191, the concentration of action is only on the adipose fat cells, specifically by increasing lipolitic action.

Test 600x

HGH Frag 176-191 has been shown to be such an effective fat loss tool it actually inhibits the formation of lipids and fatty acids. Equally important, as it is only a portion of the full GH hormone, the issues of hyperglycemia often associated with HGH use are absent. This means there is no blood sugar issues as can occur at times with HGH.

Effects of HGH Frag 176-191
There isn’t much to say about the effects of HGH Frag 176-191 other than to say it directly promotes fat loss. The individual’s metabolism runs stronger and the existing fat burns away faster. Is it a better option than regular HGH for this purpose? That’s a hard question to answer. Some data shows that it is a stronger or more suitable option. If fat loss is the only concern it does make sense to choose this fragment over the full form. If blood sugar issues are hard to control with HGH, again it makes sense to give the fragment a try. However, you’re also doing away with the almost innumerable benefits of HGH when you rely only on the fragment. Recovery, a stronger immune system, healing, and all the related anti-aging properties, on this basis alone HGH will always be the better option.

In terms of a fat loss agent, the effects of HGH Frag 176-191 will not include the appetite suppressant effect of many over the counter fat burners or stimulant based effects like Clenbuterol. The individual may find he runs a little warmer (slightly) but that should be about it.

HGH Frag 176-191 has no place in an off-season diet for the individual looking to pack on mass.

Side Effects of HGH Frag 176-191
The most common side effect of HGH Frag 176-191 will be an irritation of the skin at the injection site. Injected areas may be slightly sore or itchy post injection. Changing or rotating the injections sites can help. Users may find certain areas of the body are more pleasing to administer the hormone than others. If severe pain occurs due to an injection, the user may want to question the purity of his product as this should not occur with quality HGH Frag 176-191.

The side effects of HGH Frag 176-191 should not include those commonly associated with HGH, such as swelling of the extremities. Headaches, while possible are highly unlikely, as is water retention or any type of edema commonly associated with HGH. Users should also not experience drops in blood sugar with this compound. HGH Frag 176-191 will not affect thyroid or testicular function and presents no issues of virilization with female use.

HGH Frag 176-191 Administration
HGH Frag 176-191 is provided in lyophilized form (dry powder) and is reconstituted by the user with bacteriostatic water. The fragment is typically injected subcutaneously but can also be administered intramuscularly. Regardless of injection preference, all injections should occur on an empty stomach. Injecting with food in the stomach will weaken the effectiveness of the compound.

HGH Frag 176-191 can be administered 1-2 times per day with twice daily producing optimal results. If once per day, it should be taken 30-60min before breakfast. If twice per day, the second dose should be taken before bed and a few hours after the day’s last meal. 250-500mcg per day is the most common dosing range with 500mcg being the most common. 500mcg per day should produce significant fat loss in most any individual.

Buy HGH Frag 176-191 Online
You can buy HGH Frag 176-191 online from numerous peptide and research chemical supply companies that carry this and other non-controlled medications. You will find this to be a very commonly available product and should be much cheaper than HGH, although HGH will not be found on such related sites, at least not legally. You can buy HGH Frag 176-191 online legally in the U.S. for research purposes but not for individual use. This is a gray area of the law and may differ in other countries. It is imperative that you understand the law as it pertains to where you live before such a purchase is made.

HGH Frag 176-191 Reviews
On the basis of fat loss, HGH Frag 176-191 is an excellent product. The downside is there’s a lot of garbage on the market, it won’t necessarily hurt you, but it may not help either. The other downside is this peptide fragment lacks all the other benefits of HGH. It is tempting to use for fat loss when we consider how much cheaper it is than HGH, but the user will find better long-term results if he were to save his money until he can afford HGH. But for those who have a difficult time with glycemic control, it starts to look more appealing.

For the performance athlete, the only time this compound makes sense is during a cutting phase. It’s a good option for a bodybuilder on a budget. How much fat will be lost will, however, be diet and genetically based, meaning individual genetic response will play a large role. Some users will get more out of HGH Frag 176-191 than others, as is the case with most hormones.

IGF

Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1, commonly referred to as IGF-1 is a polypeptide hormone that belongs to the growth factor hormone family. This is a naturally produced hormone in all human beings with production primarily occurring in the liver, and to a degree in the peripheral tissues. However, synthetic versions do exist and are produced by recombinant DNA technology.

IGF-1 is a highly anabolic hormone that affects numerous areas of the human body. It also shares an important relationship with Human Growth Hormone (HGH), and on a structural basis is similar to insulin. There are several synthetic IGF-1 products on the market, but perhaps the most well-known is Increlex manufactured by Tercia INC.

Pituitary Growth HormoneIn a therapeutic setting IGF-1 is primarily used to treat IGF-1 deficiencies. However, it is also used in patients who do not respond to HGH. With this type of therapy, the individual may very well have plenty of HGH in his system but for one reason or another is not responding to the hormone. IGF-1 treatment for this purpose is FDA approved, but it is considered very controversial by some medical professionals due to the possible metabolic effects that could occur. Then we have performance enhancement, and in recent years IGF-1 has become an important hormone in this arena. It is powerfully anabolic, will carry strong recovery properties and has become a favorite of many in bodybuilding circles.

IGF-1 Functions & Traits:
IGF-1 is a protein hormone comprised of a string of 70 amino acids. Synthetic or naturally produced the sequence is the same; there is no difference. As a functioning hormone, IGF-1 largely functions by supporting growth through the enhancement of amino acids, glucose and fatty acids. As it shares a close relationship with insulin, it can also affect your blood sugar levels. The use of IGF-1 can potentially lower your blood sugar significantly resulting in a hypoglycemic state. Due to the enhancement of fatty acids, this further creates the ability to promote body fat, which is definitely a potential downside to use. However, the upside can make it worthwhile if a well-planned diet and lifestyle is in place when supplementing with exogenous IGF-1.

IGF-1 has been shown to greatly increase the number of cells in the skeletal muscle, which in turn can lead to an enhancement in lean tissue growth. This occurs by activating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT pathway. Not only can it promote muscle growth, but by this mode of action it can also promote bone growth, and to a degree growth of our internal organs.

IGF-1 also shares a close relationship to HGH, another powerful and naturally produced hormone by all human beings. HGH, like IGF-1, is anabolic and IGF-1 is largely responsible for a large portion of the anabolic action provided by HGH. This includes two primary traits that are commonly associated with anabolism in nitrogen retention and protein synthesis. Enhanced nitrogen retention is important due to the fact that all lean tissue is comprised of approximately 16% nitrogen. When nitrogen stores fall, this can send the individual into a catabolic (muscle wasting) state. Conversely, the more nitrogen we retain the more anabolic we remain; we build and support more lean tissue. As for protein synthesis, this represents the rate by which cells build proteins, proteins representing the primary building block of lean muscle tissue. It’s not too hard to see how an enhancement in protein synthesis would be beneficial. This will not only allow you to build and support more lean tissue, but will play an integral role in the recovery process, which is precisely where true progress is made. This closely tied relationship between IGF-1 and HGH is also what leads to increases in muscle cells and the promotion of new muscle fiber growth. With IGF-1 you will now have more muscle cells (muscle cell hyperplasia) and muscle fibers (mitogenesis) to work with.

While the functions and traits of IGF-1 in an anabolic capacity are tremendous, they are ruled by the amount of protein supplied to the muscle cells. Without adequate amounts of protein, exogenous IGF-1 supplementation will be worth very little.

IGF-1 also carries important traits revolving around healing and recovery; in fact, they are quite strong. This is very apparent when we consider the hormone’s role on the production of connective tissue. IGF-1 will also improve collagen function, collagen, which is found in all connective tissue in the body. An improvement in collagen function results in stronger bones, as well as strength in the muscles for proper movement. It can even affect the skin and blood vessels in a positive way. From here, IGF-1 will also promote cartilage repair and promote enhanced bone density making it an excellent hormone in cases of needed rejuvenation and repair.

A final note on the traits of IGF-1: this hormone is known as a neuroprotector and neuropromotor, which could potentially lead to improved mental function. This factor could potentially be very beneficial to the elderly when issues of dementia arise. However, further study is still required in order to fully understand the effects, but they do appear to be promising.

Effects of IGF-1:
The effects of IGF-1 are normally best suited for promoting off-season mass and for the physical recovery of any athlete. Very few will use this hormone in a cutting cycle, as it can have a negative effect on the individual’s metabolic rate. That’s the last thing you want when dieting, but we can make an exception. Some competitive bodybuilders are able to use IGF-1 during their contest prep and stay lean, while also maintaining more of their lean mass. It takes years of experience to be able to pull this off and not only a thorough understanding of hormones but a thorough understanding of how they affect you as an individual.

For the individual looking for raw size, there are a couple of solid options when considering IGF-1 use. Many will use it during their course of anabolic steroids, which will only enhance the rate in which lean tissue is built, as well as the amount. Others, and this is typically for more advanced bodybuilders, will use it during a bridge period. A bridge refers to a period of time in-between anabolic steroid cycles or full blown cycles. In this case, the individual will continue using a maintenance dose of testosterone and add in the IGF-1. Many who do this are also using HGH and simply continue it from their cycle that just ended into the bridge that just began. Regardless of your specific time of use, during cycle or as a bridge, the use of HGH is normally advised. IGF-1, while powerfully anabolic also has the ability to promote excess fat storage. During an off-season bulking stage, maintaining proper body fat levels is hard enough on its own, and it’s only complicated by the use of IGF-1. However, when we include HGH the metabolic boost it provides should be enough to keep things under control. Further, the synergy between these two hormones is remarkable.

What can you expect out of IGF-1 during off-season use? It’s hard to put a specific number on the amount of weight gained or specific increases in strength. As every human being is different and responds a little differently this can be hard to determine. However, we do have data to pull from, specifically a study done on IGF-1 using mice. In the study, the mice given IGF-1 a 15% increase in mass and a 14% increase in strength. Those may sound like small numbers to you, but that’s truly a remarkable increase. For example, take a 220lb bodybuilder, if his mass increases by 15% he now weighs 250lbs and that’s hardly a small increase. Of course, data obtained using mice, while often a good indicator is not always accurate. A prime example of inaccuracy would be the studies that showed strong anabolic action with the bronchodilator Clenbuterol, but when used in humans the anabolic action didn’t translate. However, while we cannot say with certainty a human being will experience a 15% increase in mass, we do know the anabolic power of IGF-1 in humans is extremely strong. Even if it’s only half of what was reported in mice that’s still a dramatic improvement.

The final effects of IGF-1 surround recovery. The hormone will improve overall recovery from training and strenuous activity, but it doesn’t end there. IGF-1 actually carries direct healing properties, not masking like a painkiller but true therapeutic healing. The use of IGF-1 can greatly reduce the total time for healing joint injuries. It has even been shown to significantly aid in the healing of tendons and ligaments. As all these areas of the body take a beating by most athletes, IGF-1 becomes extremely valuable.

Side Effects of IGF-1:
There are possible side effects of IGF-1 but compared to many hormones there really aren’t that many. Make no mistake, some of the possible side effects of IGF-1 can be concerning, but as with most hormones there is hope. The most common side effect of IGF-1 is hypoglycemia. Clinical data has shown that more than 40% of all those receiving IGF-1 therapy have experienced hypoglycemia at one level or another. Of those who have gone into a hypoglycemic state, 7% have experienced severe cases with approximately 5% experiencing a hypoglycemic seizure. Without question a seizure does not sound too appealing, and if you’ve ever experienced hypoglycemia that alone is something you’ll want to avoid. Thankfully, avoiding a hypoglycemic state when using IGF-1 is one of the easiest things to avoid in the world; in fact, if it occurs it’s your own fault. Before administering your IGF-1 you should consume simple sugars each and every time along with an adequate amount of food, specifically protein and a mixture of simple and complex carbohydrates. This should occur approximately 15-20 minutes before you administer your IGF-1. Once injected, if hypoglycemia symptoms begin to show, immediately consume more simple sugars and continue to consume them until the symptoms go away. The common symptoms of hypoglycemia include:

Dizziness
Drowsiness
Hunger (often extreme)
Depression
Sweating
Palpitations
Tremors
Headache
Slurred Speech
Inability to Concentrate
Anxiety
Abnormal Behavior
If the symptoms of hypoglycemia begin to occur immediately consume fast acting carbohydrates such as candy bars, or any type of sugar filled food or a carbohydrate drink or juice; grape juice is a fantastic choice. If ignored, this can and in many cases will lead to severe hypoglycemia, which has the potential to be fatal. Full blown severe hypoglycemia can lead to severe disorientation, seizure and unconsciousness, but as discussed there is no reason for this to occur if IGF-1 is used properly.

Despite it being tremendously easy to avoid, hypoglycemia is the most common side effect of IGF-1 use, but there are others to consider. Some may experience joint pain or discomfort despite it typically having a positive impact on joints. Some reports have indicated tonsil growth, which can lead to the individual becoming an extreme snorer. Pronounced organ growth has also been noted in some patients, particularly the kidneys and spleen. This makes responsible use very important, and it becomes more important when we consider cholesterol. IGF-1 can increase cholesterol levels; however, this is very manageable with a healthy diet. We must, however, keep in mind that many who use it are doing so with anabolic steroids, which can also skew cholesterol levels. In order to protect your cholesterol levels, a healthy diet and lifestyle is imperative. The individual’s diet should be rich in omega fatty acids. Daily fish oil supplementation is advised. The individual should also limit saturated fats, as well as simple sugars. Granted, you will need simple sugars with your IGF-1 use, specifically timed around your use, but other than this period they should be severely limited. It is also advised that you incorporate plenty of cardiovascular activity into your daily routine. Some may also find a cholesterol antioxidant supplement to be beneficial.

IGF-1 may also thicken facial soft tissue. High doses of the hormone have been linked to facial structure growth, especially in the jaw and forehead with possible growth in the hands, feet and elbows.

The final side effect of IGF-1 is a sore or bruised injected area. The hormone is administered subcutaneously and such injections often leave a bruise. Some data has also suggested that localized adipose tissue may increase at the injected area, the precise opposite effect that occurs with HGH use. How strong is this effect? It’s a bit inconclusive, but it does appear to be possible, which would lead the individual to necessarily rotate his injection sites.

A final note: those with cancer should not use IGF-1. This hormone can increase the structural nature and strength of all cells in the human body, including those that are cancerous. If you have cancer or potential reoccurring cancer, you should not use the hormone.

IGF-1 Administration:
IGF-1 doses and specific protocols of use is a bit of a controversial topic in both the medical and performance enhancement community. In a therapeutic setting, IGF-1 doses will normally fall in the 40-80mcg ranges and may be given 1-2 times per day. This is undoubtedly a large, very large dose, and it can be hard to control for some when we consider hypoglycemia. Most physicians will not have the individual start above 40mcg and levels will be monitored closely. Dosing may be increased by 20mcg if needed but will not surpass 120mcg for any reason as this will be extremely difficult to even impossible to control regarding hypoglycemia.

In a performance setting, 50-60mcg per day is very common, but it’s also often overkill. It will not take a lot of IGF-1 to produce phenomenal results if the individual is eating enough food and using anabolic steroids. Add in the recommended HGH use with your IGF-1 and the results will be remarkable. Most individuals could easily start with 15mcg per day once per day and slightly increase the dose if needed, but this is an excellent starting point and will be all the IGF-1 many ever need.

Then we have total use. In a performance setting, IGF-1 will be used for 2-4 weeks flowed by 2-4 weeks of no IGF-1 repeating as many times as necessary or desired. Many, as briefly discussed early on will continue their IGF-1 use past their anabolic steroid cycle into a bridge phase where a low dose of testosterone and HGH is maintained. This is, however, only something the hardcore and experienced hormone user will undertake. If you are coming off cycle and entering the PCT phase, IGF-1 use is not recommended as the promotion of excess body fat will be a great risk.

Availability of IGF-1:
IGF-1 was for years a very difficult hormone to find, but thanks to the internet and many research labs you can easily obtain all the IGF-1 you could ever want. Increlex will be the most well-known and purest form of IGF-1 or what we might call the perfect replica of the naturally produced hormone. It is a perfect copy of the 70 amino acid strain. However, increasingly popular in performance enhancing circles is Lr3IGF-1 (Long R3 Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1). Lr3IGF-1 is an 83 amino acid analog of human IGF-1. It is comprised of IGF-1 sequence with an Arg substitution at the 3rd position, as well as an added 13 amino acid peptide. This composition actually makes Lr3IGF-1 2-3 times more potent than standard IGF-1 When using this form, this does not change the activity of the IGF-1 hormone in anyway; the traits, functions, effects and side effects all remain the same. The only thing that differs is the overall potency; you may be able to get a little more out of the Lr3 version.

Lr3IGF-1 is also the only IGF-1 most athletes will have access to. It can be found through some large internet based steroid suppliers, companies that specialize in peptide hormones and through numerous research labs. As for Increlex, this can be harder to find on the black market and is normally only available with a prescription. While a prescription in the U.S. is possible, it will be extremely difficult to obtain. In Europe, you may find Increlex is much easier to obtain, either way most will have no trouble finding Lr3IGF-1.

Buy IGF-1 Online- Warning:
You can easily buy IGF-1 online; in fact, it’s the only way most will be able to get their hands on it. However, if you buy IGF-1 through a steroid supplier, despite it not being a controlled substance in the U.S. you are breaking the law. The law can vary from one country to the next greatly but most countries will frown heavily on any type of online purchase. The exception would be a purchase from a research lab. You can buy IGF-1 online from a research lab legally so as long as it is sold and purchased for research only. This is similar to the law that revolves around SERM’s, AI’s and other various non-controlled substances. This is a loophole in the law, but it is not as safe as many tend to believe. If the individual is questioned by law enforcement regarding his purchase it is up to him to prove it is for research, the burden of proof is on him, not law enforcement. In recent years, there have been instances where law enforcement has claimed the research claim was nothing but a sham and arrest have been made. You must tread with caution if you are going to make such a purchase.

If you decide to buy IGF-1 online, you will find the hormone is rarely counterfeited and should be fairly affordable. You will also find many who sell it offer IGF-1 derivatives or fragments; stay away from these products. They may not be dangerous, but they are largely a waste of your money. If you’re going to buy IGF-1 stick with true IGF-1 or Lr3IGF-1.

Due to the often strict and more often than not extremely strange laws that revolve around hormones, you are encouraged to tread lightly and do a lot of digging before you make a purchase. You are also encouraged to visit the sponsors here at Steroid.com. The sponsors here at Steroid.com can provide you with high quality anabolics, not only without a prescription but also without the fear of any legal consequence.

IGF-1 Reviews:
IGF-1 is a fantastic hormone, but it is truly not for everyone. This is not a hormone for a new individual to the world of performance enhancement. Such an individual may find it difficult to use, he may find body fat piles on quickly, and in reality he really shouldn’t need it. IGF-1 should not be used until a true benefit can be obtained, which will normally be when the individual has already seen a lot of advancement in his physique. At this stage, the individual is also strongly encouraged to include HGH with his use. Not only will this produce better results, but it will ensure his body fat does not get out of control. The only exception to this rule pertaining to when to use is if you suffer from an IGF-1 deficiency, which will be rare for most.
.....................................................................................................................................................................

In the human body, IGF-1 is the most popularly known IGF hormone both medically and in performance based circles. However, it is not the only IGF hormone; in fact, there are six IGF related hormones. IGF-1-BP3, known as SomatoKine in synthetic form, developed by Insmed is the primary binding protein that mimics the actions of IGF-1. With BP3 added, it appears to provide the benefits of IGF-1 without the often negative hypoglycemia associated with the insulin like hormone.

In clinical studies, IGF-1-BP3 has been considered for treatment in diabetes, burn victims, those suffering from Growth Hormone Insensitivity Syndrome (GHIS) and osteoporosis. However, in recent years all studies involving osteoporosis and burn victims has been shelved and focus has primarily been placed on GHIS and diabetes.

IGF-1-BP3 Functions and Traits
IGF-1 is comprised of 70 amino acids and functions by supporting the enhancement of glucose, fatty acids and amino acids in the body. Because of its close relation to another hormone, insulin, IGF-1 can potentially lower blood sugar and promote fat gain if used improperly.

By activating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT, IGF-1 will increase muscle mass by increasing the number of cells within skeletal muscle. This will not only promote muscle growth but bone growth and strength, as well as potential organ growth.

IGF-1 also carries a close relationship with another powerful hormone in Human Growth Hormone (HGH). Both IGF-1 and HGH have the ability to increase protein synthesis as well as nitrogen retention in the muscle. Protein synthesis refers to the rate in which cells build proteins, the primary building block of muscle tissue. Increased rates in protein synthesis is imperative to both growth and muscle recovery. Nitrogen retention (muscle tissue is comprised of 16% nitrogen), when retention rates fall this can lead to a catabolic state. The reverse is a greater rate of retention, which leads to a stronger anabolic environment. Most importantly, as with HGH, IGF-1 will increase new muscle fibers.

Important note: IGF-1’s effects are dependent on the amount of protein provided to the body. Inadequate amounts of protein will render IGF-1 somewhat useless.

IGF-1 also plays an important role on healing and recovery, particularly when we consider the hormone’s effect on connective tissues. IGF-1 will enhance collagen synthesis, which results in stronger bones and muscles. IGF-1 will also promote cartilage repair and bone density.

IGF-1-BP3 provides all the effects of IGF-1; however, its benefit is a greater impact on direct action and a significant lessening effect in terms of hypoglycemia. The reason for the improvement in effect is in that IGF-1-BP3 is already bound to the binding protein (BP3), however, data is still somewhat limited in terms of how great this effect is over standard IGF-1.

Effects of IGF-1-BP3
The positive effects of IGF-1-BP3 largely surround muscle growth and recovery. For the off-season athlete, this will mean gains in lean tissue. The compound doesn’t have much of a use for the cutting or dieting athlete except in rare exceptions. IGF-1-BP3 is often used during an off-season anabolic steroid stack in order to enhance the overall effect or as a bridge in between steroid cycles to help maintain the muscle mass gained while on cycle. Many bridge users will also do so with HGH as it will help ensure they don’t gain too much body fat during use, enhance the effects of IGF-1-BP3 and continue to possibly add growth. However, HGH use in a bridge will only occur if HGH was used in the previous cycle or is planed to be used in the up coming cycle.

Perhaps the most amazing effect of IGF-1-BP3 is in its ability to promote healing. Unlike pain medications IGF-1-BP3 does not mask an injury but can actually promote real life healing. Joint injuries, tendons and ligaments can all be improved with IGF-1-BP3. This can be very valuable to any athlete as these are the areas of the body that take the strongest beating.

Side Effects of IGF-1-BP3
There are many possible side effects of IGF-1-BP3; however, while numerous exists most are not that common. The most common side effect of IGF-1 is hypoglycemia with nearly half of all users experiencing a hypoglycemic state at some point during use. However, with IGF-1-BP3 this rate is cut down significantly. In order to avoid any hypoglycemic state, IGF-1-BP3 should be administered with food, specifically carbohydrates and some protein. Once the hormone is administered, if hypoglycemia starts to show, more carbohydrates (fast acting) should be consumed. Hypoglycemia is easy to spot and there should be no question if you are experiencing it. Symptoms of hypoglycemia may include:

Drowsiness
Extreme Hunger
Dizziness
Sweating
Tremors
Palpitations
Headache
Depression
Anxiety
Slurred Speech
Loss of Mental Focus
If hypoglycemia occurs it is imperative that fast acting carbohydrates are consumed; sugary juices are a great choice. If the individual ignores the symptoms this can lead to horrific consequences; in fact, hypoglycemia that is ignored can potentially lead to death, but there is no reason for any individual to let it get this far.

The most common side effects of IGF-1-BP3 surround those of administration themselves, a bruised or sore area at the injection site. If injection pain occurs the best thing to do is to find another area of the body to administer the hormone.

Important Note: IGF-1-BP3 should not be used by those with cancer. The structural strength of all cells is enhanced by IGF-1 and this can include cancer cells. This should also apply to those with previous fights with cancer.

IGF-1-BP3 Administration
IGF-1-BP3 will be found in dry powder form and is most commonly reconstituted with bacteriostatic water. IGF-1-BP3 can be injected intramuscularly or subcutaneously depending on user preference. Some users, particularly HGH users will administer both their IGF-1-BP3 and HGH in the same syringe.

Common doses of IGF-1 can range dramatically. It is not uncommon to hear of individuals administering 50mcg or more per day. However, this can be a bit much and even more than needed to produce great results, especially when being used with anabolic steroids. Most will find 15mcg per day with slight increases periodically if needed to be a good place to start as well as a much safer place to start. Total use of IGF-1BP3 like all IGF hormones is generally 3-4wks.

Availability of IGF-1-BP3
IGF-1-BP3 is not commonly available as it is still in the research stages pharmaceutically but can be found in some avenues. Some research chemical supply companies carry IGF-1-BP3 but it’s often expensive and the user would be better off sticking with LR3-IGF-1. LR3-IGF-1 is far more affordable and will provide the benefits of IGF-1 the user is looking for. The rate of hypoglycemia is greater with traditional IGF, but easy to control as long as adequate food is consumed.

Buy IGF-1-BP3 Online
You can buy IGF-1-BP3 online; in fact, this is the only place most will ever be able to buy it. However, many of the products found online are not actual IGF-1-BP3, at best they’re LR3-IGF-1 or some fragment of the IGF-1 hormone. Quality forms of IGF-1BP3 can be found online through a few research chemical supply companies but it may take a bit of digging to find the right one. It’s important to note, buying IGF-1-BP3 online is only legal if done for research purposes and is not legal for individual use. It is an odd law that exists in the U.S. and may differ depending on the country you’re from.

IGF-1-BP3 Reviews
IGF-1-BP3 on its face seems like a great hormone when we consider the effects promoted should be the same as standard IGF-1 with less of a hypoglycemic effect. However, data is so inconclusive at this time it’s difficult to say with any assurance. For this reason, and because standard IGF-1 is cheaper, if IGF-1 is to be used most users will find LR3-IGF-1 to be the best path to follow.

iPamorelin

iPamorelin is a GHRP (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide) that is considered one of the mildest due to it being perhaps the most side effect friendly of the GHRP hormones. iPamorelin was first developed by Novo Nordisk and made its way to phase two clinical trials through Helsinn Therapeutics. However, while it showed promising results the full trials were never completed and the project was scrapped. Although it is not found in medical circles it is used in some performance based circles in lieu of Human Growth Hormone (HGH).

iPamorelin Functions and Traits
iPamorelin is very similar to GHRP-6 in that it increases ghrelin and targets a specific GH pulse. However, unlike GHRP-6 there doesn’t appear to be an increase in hunger that often exists with GHRP-6. More importantly, there is no impact on cortisol and only on plasma Growth Hormone (GH) levels. Unlike many other GH peptides such as Hexarelin, there doesn’t appear to be a strong breach of desensitization. This means there is no point where a dose doesn’t improve natural GH secretion.

Test 600x

Along with powerful GH releasing abilities, iPamorelin is also one of the longest lasting GH peptides available. The release of the hormone (GH) isn’t an instant spike followed by a rapid falloff point but instead a slow steady release that is more natural to the body.

Effects of iPamorelin
The effects of iPamorelin are simple, to increase natural GH production in the body. It is the increase in GH production that produces the positive benefits and effects the athlete might be after. Increased levels of GH will improve the metabolism thereby giving the individual a greater ability to burn fat or maintain a suitable fat level when trying to grow. More importantly, elevated GH levels, especially stable elevated GH levels help with recovery perhaps more than anything else. Whether we are bulking or cutting it is in the recovery stage that we improve. Recovery helps us build new lean tissue and it helps protect our existing lean tissue.

Most iPamorelin users should also find sleep is deeper and more efficient. Many users report a better mood, which is probably due to the fact that they’re getting more out of their rest. And as with anything that increases GH levels in the body we have the anti-aging benefits. GH affects nearly all parts of the body from muscle to the skeletal structure, nervous system, skin and even hair. GH has often been called the fountain of youth hormone, and it’s not hard to understand why. When we reach our 30’s our natural GH production rapidly declines and continues to decline, and as a result we begin to age. If GH levels remain elevated, while we can’t prevent aging we can slow the effects down.

Important note: iPamorelin will not give as big of a boost in GH levels as HGH. However, HGH is extremely expensive, often hard to get and often counterfeited. iPamorelin, while not as effective as HGH is still better than no increase in GH levels and is one of the best GHRP options available today.

Side Effects of iPamorelin
There are side effects, possible side effects of iPamorelin use, but it is one of the friendliest growth hormone or growth hormone related medications on the market. iPamorelin, while used by many athletes is not an anabolic steroid. This means side effects of iPamorelin are not anabolic steroid related.

[1] Estrogenic:

There are no estrogenic side effects of iPamorelin. Gynecomastia cannot occur due to the use of this medication. Water retention cannot occur due to elevated estrogen since estrogen cannot be elevated. However, it is possible, especially during the early stages of use to experience slight water retention; the ankles and wrist are the most common areas.

[2] Androgenic:

There are no androgenic side effects of iPamorelin. This GHRP cannot cause acne, hair loss or virilization symptoms in women.

[3] Cardiovascular:

There are no known cardiovascular side effects of iPamorelin. Many users report improved cardiovascular health.

[4] Testosterone:

iPamorelin will not suppress natural testosterone production. It will not affect your production of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) or Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). Further, iPamorelin will have no affect on Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

[5] Hepatotoxicity:

iPamorelin is not toxic to the liver at any dose.

Although not highly common, possible side effects of iPamorelin most often occur during the early stages of use. You may or may not need to adjust your dose in order to find a suitable level. Possible side effects include:

Light Headed (diet adjustments may help)
Headache (diet adjustments may help)
Sore injected area (injection rotation and finding new areas to inject may help)
Increased levels of prolactin (very rare – Cabergoline can help if needed)
iPamorelin Administration
iPamorelin will be found in freeze dried powder form (lyophilized) and is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water. Once reconstituted it needs to be kept refrigerated at all times. Once prepared, while it can be injected intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously (SubQ) most will find SubQ the easiest since the medication is normally administered 2-3 times per day. A small insulin syringe will suffice.

Dosing ranges for iPamorelin normally fall in the 200-300mcg ranges with a frequency of 2-3 times per day. Many users will combine this with other Growth Hormone Releasing Hormones (GHRH) in order to get the most bang for their buck. Eight weeks of use is the bare minimum to get anything out of it with 12 weeks being the preferred minimum. It can also be used for indefinite periods of time.

Availability of iPamorelin
iPamorelin isn’t a medication we can say is readily available. You will primarily find the drug online through research chemical supply companies with the cost ranging from $15-25 per 2mg. You may also find some online pharmacies overseas carry it, but it’s not common.

Buy iPamorelin Online
You can buy iPamorelin online from research chemical supply companies; in fact, this is the only place most will find it. However, it is a very gray area of the law in the U.S. and such purchases can only be legally made for research purchases. You cannot legally buy iPamorelin online for human use. Before making a purchase it is imperative that you understand the laws of where you live as they can vary greatly from one country to the next.

iPamorelin Reviews
iPamorelin is a solid option when looking for a natural GH increasing agent and it’s side effect friendly nature makes it perhaps more appealing than some. However, very few experience too many if any side effects from any GH related product. Will the results be better with this one compared to others? Again it’s hard to say, but with the frequent administration needed, if enough is used it is possible that you might get a little more out of this one. However, you’re going to be spending approximately $20 per day to do it and that can add up quite a bit over time.

Melanotan II

Melanotan II is a peptide hormone belonging to the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) class of mimetics. Melanotan II is a synthetic analog pituitary derived Melanocortin. The peptide is primarily known for its ability to help with tanning but is also used to aid in erectile function. Melanotan II, also referred to as MT-2, has no use of significance beyond tanning and erectile function.

Melanotan II Function and Traits
Melanotan II (MT-2) functions by stimulating the alpha-MSH receptor. This is a receptor that produces melanin, which aids in the darkening of skin pigmentation. Because of this action, the individual will tan easier and darker than he would without the use of MT-2.

There are several alpha-MSH receptors in the body. Melanotan II functions by stimulating the MC1-5 receptor. Stimulation of this receptor promotes darkening of the skin. MT-2 also stimulates the MC4 receptor, which acts to increase penile erectile function.

Test 600x

Clinical trials have shown promising results for Melanotan II in regards to erectile dysfunction. However, despite clinical trials the peptide has never been approved by the U.S. government for human use:

2000 - UAZ College of Medicine (Urology) - Findings: Promoted erections in 17 of 20 subjects, tip rigidity increased by 80%. 68% experienced increase in libido.

1998 - UAZ College of Medicine (Pharmacology) - Findings: Promoted erections in 80% of men, tip rigidity increased by 80%.
Note - all erectile dysfunction studies are based on psychogenic erectile dysfunction, which refers to erectile dysfunction of a physiological nature not a physical one. However, many anecdotal reports state stronger erections and better performance when used as a sex aid despite no existing erectile dysfunction.

Effects of Melanotan II
The effects of Melanotan two revolve around nothing more than tanning and possible erectile dysfunction relief. A darker and deeper tan may be noticed in a few days (assuming one is also tanning) and should produce notable results in a few weeks. The longer one uses MT-2 the darker he will get.

The effects of Melanotan II on erectile dysfunction take approximately 4-6 hours to take effect and should last 6-12 hours depending on individual response. Timing is important if used for this purpose. However, there are those that run small daily to every other day doses in order to provide a maintenance relief, but this can prove problematic to the skin if not careful.

Side Effects of Melanotan II
The most common side effect of Melanotan II is appetite suppression, but it should not be as significant as one might associate with diet or fat loss medications. Nausea and fatigue or a lightheaded feeling can also be somewhat common in some individuals. Such effects may be strong but should clear quickly. Dosing may need to be reduced should such effects occur until a more comfortable level is reached.

The side effects of Melanotan II can also include the darkening of hair, although not significantly. It may also include the darkening of moles, and in some cases, may be cause to discontinue use. Darkening of moles is the one side effect of Melanotan II an individual would want to keep a close eye on.

Melanotan II Administration
Melanotan II is provided in freeze-dried (lyophilized) form and reconstituted with bacteriostatic water. MT-2 may be injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly with subcutaneous being the most common and convenient. Melanotan II should be kept refrigerated at all times, and should be discarded in 30 days after reconstitution.

Melanotan II is typically taken at a dose of 0.5-2mg per day with 0.5-1mg being enough for most individuals who use it for tanning purposes. The same 0.5-1mg dosing is sufficient for erectile dysfunction treatment.

Buy Melanotan II Online
You can buy Melanotan II online from most all research supply companies. There is hardly an online vendor in this category that sells peptides that does not also carry Melanotan II. MT-2 should not be terribly expensive and can be purchased without a prescription. However, if you buy Melanotan II online understand that it is only legal if done for research purposes. Purchasing for individual use is considered illegal. It is a law that is a bit confusing. If you live outside the U.S. it’s important that you understand the law as it pertains to where you live as it often varies greatly from U.S. law.

Melanotan II Reviews
For the purpose of obtaining a darker and deeper tan, Melanotan II is one of the best products there is for this purpose. The downside is you still have to tan, which can come with a host of harmful skin effects if overdone. But it is effective and works well. As for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, it seems promising in many ways, although data is somewhat limited as studies have slowed in recent years. If nothing else, it should provide a stronger and more pleasing sexual experience for the user.

MGF

(Mechano Growth Factor)
Mechano Growth Factor, better known as MGF, is a splice variant of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1). This hormone is largely responsible for the healing and building of damaged muscle tissue post exercise or any other activity that causes damage to the muscle tissue. Although somewhat simplistic to say, the best way to view MGF is as a byproduct of IGF-1, specifically, IGF-1Ec, which represents the predominant splice in the two splice system created by IGF-1.

MGF Functions and Traits
IGF-1 is a hormone consisting of 70 amino acids that is structurally similar to insulin. Produced by the liver, IGF-1 production is stimulated by the production and release of Growth Hormone (GH) in the body. IGF-1 affects nearly every cell in the human body, predominantly as it pertains to cellular repair. When muscle tissue is damaged, this creates a response in the body that causes IGF-1 to be spliced into two variants, IGF-1Ec and IGF-1Ea, the former being MGF.

Test 600x

The splice to MGF activates satellite cells causing the growth of new muscle fibers in the body. Further, the presence of MGF increases the body’s rate of protein synthesis. This will cause the body to increase muscle size and more importantly repair existing damaged muscle. The recovery factor associated with MGF is without question the most important and beneficial aspect of the hormone.

Although the function of MGF may seem slightly confusing when you first glance, the process itself is rather simple when you look at it step-by-step:

IGF-1 is released due to exercise (occurs post exercise)

IGF-1 is spliced to MGF

MGF activates recovery of muscle tissue via an activation of muscle stem cells

Effects of MGF
The effects of MGF can largely be summed up by two words, hypertrophy and recovery. MGF being released into the body is beneficial for any athlete or fitness enthusiast regardless of bulking, cutting or any other phase he may be in. The release of MGF is something that occurs naturally, but in the case of performance enhancement the idea is to create a greater release of MGF than can be had naturally. The most common way to accomplish this is through the use of Human Growth Hormone (HGH). HGH carries with it many health and performance benefits, including the elevation of IGF-1 levels, in turn increasing MGF. However, direct supplementation of MGF is also possible through synthetic products.

Data shows that direct increases of MGF (injections) to have increased muscle fibers by 25% in a mere three weeks, where natural occurring took upwards of four months to produce 15% in rodents.

MGF is highly anabolic and can be a great addition to an off-season gaining phase. However, because the half-life of the product is only a few minutes and because it must be used immediately post training, it can be difficult for some people to use. For the benefits of injectable MGF to be had, it must be administered within a few minutes of a training session to catch the open window. If the individual were to train, drive home and then inject, he would have wasted the opportunity.

A more suitable option for many MGF users may be PEG-MGF. PEG-MGF is active in the body for several hours, whereas standard MGF only for a few minutes. Further, MGF will only remain active in the area of injection for a few moments. If you were to train biceps, for best results you would need to inject both biceps immediately post training. With PEG-MGF a single injection along with the hours of activity would allow for it to take a more full effect.

Side Effects of MGF
The side effects of MGF are somewhat lacking, meaning official data is sparse. Pain or irritation at the injected area is the most common complaint, which normally refers to a sore or itchy feeling at the injected site.

MGF Administration
MGF is an injectable peptide that is administered with an insulin needle directly into the muscle(s) trained and immediately after training. 200mcg per injection is the normal or standard dose for most and is normally used for no more than four weeks. Users who surpass four weeks of use may find the benefits quickly fall due to an adaption. For optimal results, many will supplement with MGF for four weeks and then IGF-1 for four weeks, normally IGF-1 LR3 or IGF-1 DES. Using both MGF and IGF-1 at the same time (on the same day) would prove counterproductive, as they would compete with each other. However, some individuals have reported using IGF-1 on and MGF on alternating days to avoid blunting the effects of each other. Unfortunately, data is not fully conclusive in terms of what’s officially the most effective.

MGF is found in freeze-dried form and mixed with a sterile solution and must remain refrigerated once reconstituted. MGF should remain stable and potent for up to six months post-mixing. It must be reiterated, for a stable MGF experience, the user will typically find PEG-MGF to be the only MGF product worth using.

Buy MGF Online
You can buy MGF online from most only research chemical companies. This is not a controlled substance and will be carried by the majority of online retailers that carry ancillaries, erectile dysfunction medications and other non-controlled peptides. Prescriptions for MGF are not required in the U.S. when purchased for research purposes. However, purchases for individual use are illegal. The laws can vary greatly from one country to the next and it’s imperative that you understand the law as it pertains to where you live before any purchase is made.

MGF Reviews
Standard MGF is very difficult to control and often hard to obtain worthwhile benefits with due to the small window of acceptable administration time. For this reason, the only MGF that makes sense to use is PEG-MGF. The addition of PEG is simply a Polyethylene glycol that increases the half-life of the MGF. It is not toxic and presents no damage to the hormone or body.

MGF can also be a suitable option for the anabolic steroid user who is in between steroid cycles. There is no testosterone suppression with this product. However, full results, the most gains to be made will be seen when used with anabolic steroids.

SERMORELIN

Sermorelin acetate is a recently synthesized (man-made) peptide analogue of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) a naturally occurring hormone that is produced in the hypothalamus and stimulates and controls the production of growth hormone (GH) within the pituitary gland. GHRH, which is necessary for growth and development, was first described by Nobel Laureates R. Guilleman and A Shalley. In the 1970s one of their students, William Wehrenberg, began studying which part of the GHRH molecule was essential in stimulating the pituitary gland.

SERMORELIN FUNCTION AND TRAITS

By removing individual amino acids from the GHRH molecule, Wehrenberg found that only the first 29 amino acids were essential for the stimulation of GH production in the pituitary gland. Semorelin is therefore only comprised of these 29 essential amino acids, forming a short polypeptide chain that is considered one of the shortest functional fragments of the GHRH molecule. It was first developed with a one-step chromatographic method capable of separating all isomers of polyethylene glycol (PEG) from naturally occurring GHRH.

Test 600x

The biological effects of sermorelin were first observed in vitro cultures of rat pituitary cells. When compared to other GHRH analogues, sermorelin was found to be the most potent, potentially 4-5 times as potent as naturally produced GHRH. Recent studies of other GHRH analogues in pigs have also found synthetic GHRH analogues to be more effective than the naturally occurring hormone.

Sermorelin is now used as a standard test for growth hormone secretion and is primarily prescribed for children who do not produce GH properly and fail to grow healthily as a result. It has a secondary, off-label use in “repairing” declining GH levels (a natural side effect of aging that leads to weight gain, decreased strength and muscle mass, and insomnia in elder subjects). GH levels typically peak at around 20 years of age in humans and fall by about 14% for every decade that passes, but use of Sermorelin can potentially rejuvenate GH back to youthful levels.

EFFECTS OF SEMORELIN
Sermorelin has a wide range of positive effects. Due to its nature as a GHRH, sermorelin only increases the body’s ability to produce more growth hormone; it is not an injection of growth hormone itself. In both a performance enhancing and general well-being sense, sermorelin has a wide array of benefits that make it a powerful and valuable substance.

Mental: Focus and mental clarity improve, leading to an easing of general day-to-day tasks. Libido can be heightened and users have reported an improvement in their sex lives. General fatigue as well depression can also be reduced. All of these qualities can lead to a generally healthier, happier lifestyle.

Physical: Sermorelin increases the development of lean body mass through the development of new muscle cells and reduces body fat through lipolysis. This leads to increased strength and endurance and improved muscle tone as well as improved skin elasticity (smoother, less wrinkly skin) and loss of cellulite. Calcium retention improves, leading to the increased mineralization of bone (bone density), strengthening the skeletal system.

General enhancement: Protein synthesis increases, leading to the stimulation of all internal organs (including the heart) except for the brain. Cholesterol levels fall. Regardless of the purpose of use, joint and muscle pain is lessened, one’s recovery time from wounds increases, and the immune system improves. The individual will not tire as quickly and will be able to go longer in their daily activities, be those exercise related or other. Deeper, more restful and satisfying sleep can be expected (some have reported more vivid dreams) and hair can becomes thicker, fuller, and more lustrous.

SIDE EFFECTS OF SEMORELIN
There are a significant number of potential side effects that come with the use of sermorelin, although in the vast majority of cases the side effects, if present at all, are relatively mild. While side effects are certainly possible and semorelin is not risk-free, for a healthy adult these risk can be minimized and many will find no negative side effects at all.

Common side effects: The most common side effects (about 17% of total cases) include pain, swelling, and/or redness at the injection site. These side effects usually do not require medical attention. Less common are itching and trouble swallowing. As with any peptide, allergic reactions can occur. Many patients develop antibodies to growth hormone–releasing hormone at least once during treatment with sermorelin. However, the significance of these antibodies is not known. Their presence does not appear to affect growth, nor do they cause specific side effects. In less than 1% of cases, dizziness, flushing, headache, hyperactivity, or sleepiness have been reported. The use of semorelin could also potentially lead to reduced risk of hypertension, stroke/aneurysm/heart attack, heart and kidney failure, and vision changes or loss, however none of these conditions have been conclusively linked to its use.

Medical risk: Studies in rats, rabbits, and pigs have shown there to be an adverse effect upon the fetuses of pregnant females. There have been no studies at all regarding this product and its risks in human females who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant and it is currently unknown whether sermorelin is released in mammalian breast milk. Using alcohol, tobacco or other medications (especially corticosteroids and glucocorticoid) with certain products may cause certain unwanted interactions to occur. Speak to your healthcare professional about other medicines you take and your lifestyle choices before starting to use this substance. The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this product, so always check with your doctor beforehand, especially if you suffer from an under/hyperactive thyroid. Long-term studies to determine if sermorelin has any carcinogenic properties in either humans or animals have not been conducted, but neither have any reports of cancer caused by semorelin been reported.
SERMORELIN ADMINISTRATION
Sermorelin is prescribed as a fine white powder of a variable dose (in milligrams) in a vial that must be mixed with bacteriostatic water or medical grade saline solution as a diluent. The powder should be stored out of light at or below room temperature. The solution is used by injection into subcutaneous (below the skin) body fat using a very small needle, comparable to what a diabetic would use to take their insulin shots.

Once combined into solution form, sermorelin must be kept in the refrigerator (do not freeze—store between 2 and 8°C/36 and 46°F) ) and out of light or else the chain of amino acids will break down and it will be rendered ineffective. Before use, check the liquid for particles or discoloration and, if found, discard the solution. As with most peptides, there is a saturation dose at which point taking any more of the peptide will not increase the production of growth hormone, a consequence of the body’s natural mechanism to keep hormonal levels at a safe homeostasis. This saturation dose is typically around 100mcg.

It is best to use a different place on the body for each injection (for example, abdomen, hip, thigh, or upper arm). The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients based off of their body-mass index (BMI); use it exactly as directed by your doctor and do not use it more often than your doctor prescribed. Sermorelin has an ongoing effect in which optimal HGH levels can be sustained long after the last injection. Just like synthetic GH, sermorelin initially must be injected every day. Unlike synthetic HGH, once optimal levels reached, injection frequency can be decreased or stopped altogether

AVAILABILITY AND PURCHASE OF SERMORELIN

Products containing sermorelin acetate was pulled from the US market (under the brand name ‘Geref’) in November, 2002. Sermorelin is also not commercially available in Canada. Thus, one cannot buy sermorelin over-the-counter in North America. However, sermorelin can legally be prescribed by a doctor for “off label” use at home in the United States. As with all products related to steroids and growth hormone, sermorelin can be found for purchase on the black market and the internet, even in geographic locations where its sale is prohibited by local, state, and federal law. While some of these sellers may be selling products of repute, the trustworthiness of products sold over the internet or black market cannot ever be verified in advance. Always remember that there are plenty of mislabeled or outright fake products sold on the internet/black market that are marketed as certain other products and substances. Potential users should always consult with their medical professional and check the relevant laws of their home country/state before buying semorelin. Buying semorelin should not be a quick decision, but one made after some careful cost-benefit analysis of the effects and the consultation of professionals. Remember that purchasing semorelin online in the United States is still a crime, and that it can only be taken in the USA with a prescription written by your doctor.

SERMORELIN REVIEWS

There are currently no clinical trials being undertaken with sermorelin in the United States and consequently the jury is still out on its overall effectiveness when compared to its potential downsides, but very clearly it is a very powerful substance that has great potential for human general health and wellbeing, both mentally and physically. The key to getting the best results from the use of semorelin is understanding how GHRH affects the production of growth hormone in the body, which we have outlined above. Many assume that the use of such products is solely for the purpose of bodybuilding or gaining an unfair advantage in sports and competition, but sermorelin can be used as a general product to promote one’s mental and physical health and wellbeing and to counter the inevitable effects of aging. If any of these are your goals, then sermorelin is an outstanding substance for you.

Somatropin

(Human Growth Hormone)
Somatropin is any form of synthetically created Human Growth Hormone (HGH). Synthetic HGH is simply a man made version of the naturally produced Growth Hormone (GH) by the human body. This is one of the most valuable and important hormones our body makes, and is perhaps the most sought out synthetic hormone on the market.

HGH became part of medicine in the 1950’s, and was first successfully used in treatment in 1958. The form of GH used as this time was extracted from the pituitary of human cadavers. This was practiced worldwide but banned by the FDA in the U.S. in 1985. The use of GH extract had been linked to CJD and shown to be potentially fatal. Only 1% of all GH users fell prey to CJD, but that was enough for the FDA and almost ended any hope of improving methods. When the FDA makes its mind up it can be very difficult for anyone in the U.S. to even attempt improvements.

Test 600x

Pituitary Growth Hormone Once extract had been banned a variant hormone in Somatrem would shortly replace it. This was a contaminant free product but nowhere near as effective as GH. Soon after, Kabi Vitrum of Sweden found the means to synthesize pure GH, one that is contaminant free. The synthetic form of GH became known as Somatropin. All brands of synthetic HGH are known as Somatropin.

Important Note: Somatropin (HGH) is not an anabolic steroid. It is also referred to as an anabolic steroid in news reports, but is not an anabolic steroid in any shape or form.

Somatropin Functions & Traits
HGH is a protein based hormone that is produced by the pituitary gland. This is a hormone produced by all people regardless of sex or age, although in very low amounts in adulthood. This is a hormone that affects the entire human body and is essential to our wellbeing, out health and how we function. Somatropin is simply a synthetic version of this naturally produced hormone.

Somatropin (HGH) functions by sending a signal to the cells in our muscles, bones and fat tissue. This signal promotes muscle growth and affects fat loss. The functions of the hormone also increase gluconeogenesis and promote insulin resistance thereby providing reduced sensitivity to insulin. All of this results in an increase rate of fat loss.

There are numerous forms of Somatropin on the market, or we should say “supposed” Somatropin. There are many variants and fragments but they are not Somatropin. Only the 191 amino acid sequence that is identical to naturally produced GH can be labeled true Somatropin. Any variation, even if effective, is not Somatropin.

Important Note: Somatropin not only affects muscle and fat, but the effects go into bone and organs and almost all areas of the human body.

Effects of Somatropin
The effects of Somatropin cover a wide range of areas and can lead to dramatic improvements all over the human body. This is a compound that’s most commonly used to treat pituitary dwarfism or GH deficiency in adults in medical settings, which can occur for numerous reasons. It is also used in HIV and AIDS treatment, burn victims, short bowel syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome. However, in recent years the most common reason for use (medically) has become anti-aging. Anti-aging use is common worldwide but far more common outside the U.S. The drug is very expensive (heavily in the U.S.) and laws still make anti-aging practices somewhat difficult in the U.S.

For the athlete, Somatropin is a highly beneficial compound although not commonly one that’s used alone. When used alone the primary benefit is anti-aging and most athletes are looking for a lot more. This is an anabolic hormone, but not well known for promoting significant growth. However, when combined with anabolic steroids the results can be incredible. Somatropin and anabolic steroids appear to work very well with one another. You can take a steroid alone and then take it with Somatropin in the same dose and the cycle that included Somatropin will always yield superior results.

One of the best traits of Somatropin for the athlete is in its ability to promote recovery. Recovery is when progress is made and without it no progress is made. The more we can improve on the recovery process the greater our progress can be. This can make use alone and without other hormones very valuable, but there are things that must be understood. It takes months and months for these types of benefits to become truly beneficial. You can’t take Somatropin for a few weeks and expect to hold a benefit. And if recovery is the only benefit you’re after (truly valuable) because it’s not as “visual” as mass and strength some become frustrated too quickly.

Another important effect of Somatropin is its effect on the metabolism. For the bodybuilder this is extremely important. Off-season use of Somatropin will allow for less fat to be gained during a period of growth. It becomes even more valuable during a cutting cycle designed for contest prep as the individual will burn fat at a much greater rate, preserve far more muscle tissue and protect from injuries that occur at far greater frequencies during this period of training.

The benficial effects of Somatropin do not end there. HGH is directly involved and related to another powerful naturally produced hormone, Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1). This is another hormone that affects nearly every cell in the human body, is essential for recovery and bodily function. Increases in HGH levels will increase IGF-1 levels in the body.

Important Note: IGF-1 can be an antagonist to the effects of HGH. This can make the use of exogenous IGF-1 damaging to the individual who supplements with exogenous GH in some cases.

Overall, and it’s not hard to see why, Somatropin has often been called “The Fountain of Youth.” This is not something that will prevent aging, but it will most certainly slow down the effects. It is nearly impossible for any adult not to benefit from Somatropin use. Whether for the purpose of athletics, bodybuilding or anti-aging and whether male or female, the effects of Somatropin include:

Decreased Body Fat
· Enhanced Ability to Maintain Proper Body Fat Levels

A Tighter Physique
Enhanced Metabolic Rate
Enhanced Sense of Wellbeing
Healthier Skin
Improved Sleeping Patterns
Increased Bone Strength
Increased Energy
Increased Joint Strength
Increased Lean Tissue Growth
Increased Rate of Physical Recovery
Increased Tendon Strength
This is only the tip if the iceberg when it comes to Somatropin, it can provide even more than the above list shows. But the above list alone should give you a very good idea of how valuable this hormone is.

Side Effects of Somatropin
Somatropin is one of the friendliest hormones anyone can use. There are possible side effects of Somatropin use, but they are not common. The side effects of Somatropin are most commonly associated with dose, meaning too much can lead to a higher probability of negative effects. When the individual first starts using Somatropin this too can also be a time when minor side effects occur, but they will normally fade as the body adapts.

The most common side effect of Somatropin is water retention. This most commonly occurs in the ankles and wrists. This will normally subside after the body accustoms but can be problematic with high doses. Headaches and joint discomfort can also be fairly common, but most users should not have a long-term issue with proper use. Although rare, flu like symptoms are possible during the early stages of Somatropin use.

The side effects of Somatropin may also include carpal tunnel syndrome when water retention is severe. This is most common with performance enhancement level doses. A deficiency in thyroid production is also possible, particularly with performance level doses. If this is an issue it can be remedied by the use of Liothyronine Sodium, better known as Cytomel (T3). Other possible yet rare side effects include nausea, dizziness, respiratory infection and a numbing of the skin.

The most serious side effects of Somatropin revolve around abuse and can be highly problematic. Enlargement of the hands and feet, jaw line and even internal organs can occur with long-term high dose use. Somatropin can and should be used long-term (indefinitely) for a true benefit, but should be used responsibly with proper doses in order to avoid these issues. Short-term Type 2 diabetes is also possible due to the hormone’s affect on blood sugar. Diet adjustments may need to be made.

The final possible side effect of Somatropin is irritation at the injected area. An itchy feeling or small lumps around the injection area are possible. Rotating injection sites is important. You may find certain areas of the body respond better than others.

Somatropin Administration
Somatropin is an injectable hormone and can be administered intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously (SubQ). The function of the hormone will vary depending on the area injected, but both IM and SubQ have their advantages:

· SubQ: Bioavailability is approximately 75% - Half-life is approximately 3.8 hours

· IM Bioavailability is approximately 63% - Half-life is approximately 4.9 hours

Important Note: Regardless of the type of injection, IM or SubQ the increase in IGF-1 production will last more than 24 hours.

For medical use male Somatropin doses will fall in the 1-3iu per day range. 4iu’s will sometimes be prescribed, but it is not common. For female Somatropin use, doses will normally fall in the 1-2iu per day range. In some cases doses may be slightly less than 1iu per day in anti-aging plans.

For the athlete doses can vary quite a bit. 2-4iu per day can be tremendously beneficial for recovery and fat loss. Even if used at this dose in the off-season, with anabolic steroids the synergy provided will be significantly high. Females can receive the same benefits in the 1-2iu per day range.

For true growth to be had, off-season cycles, 6-8ius is normally standard but must be used long term. More is used in hardcore circles; doses beyond 10iu per day are not uncommon but greatly increase the risk of side effects. Females who desire a larger more anabolic dose will normally dose the hormone at 3-4iu per day.

Regardless of the dose, Somatropin is not something that will produce results or significant benefits quickly. Use must be long-term. The shortest amount of time the hormone could be used beneficially is 8-12 weeks in order to promote fat loss and recovery with 16 weeks being far more beneficial. For a strong anabolic effect, six months of use will be necessary. If used for the purpose of anti-aging, use will last indefinitely, possibly for life.

Availability of Somatropin
There is no shortage of Somatropin, and it is widely available on the pharmaceutical and black market. However, this is one of the most commonly counterfeited hormones (possibly the most commonly counterfeited hormone) and one of the most expensive (probably the most expensive) compounds on the market. There is more than likely more fake and counterfeit Somatropin than not. Low grade or low quality Somatropin is also a big problem. It’s not uncommon for a 10iu bottle of Somatropin to only be worth about 5iu.

Important Note: One of the most common problems is HCG being sold as Somatropin. In the bottle they look the same. In order to determine if you have HCG or Somatropin, approximately one week into use take a pregnancy test. If it shows positive you have HCG.

Sticking with pharmaceutical grade Somatropin is the safest way to ensure quality, but even these brands can be counterfeited making the value of a good supplier just that, highly valuable. Generics and black market brands, there are excellent brands available, but they are few and far between. Chinese generics are notorious for being fake of under dosed. You should be vary leery of low prices. You can find good deals but when it sounds too good to be true it more than likely is. For pharmaceutical Somatropin, you can easily pay $800-$1000 per 100 units, and this isn’t a bad deal. Higher prices are very common.

Buy Somatropin Online – Warning
You can buy Somatropin online with relative ease, but there are many issues of concern. As discussed this isn’t a cheap product and counterfeits and low grade products run rampant. If you live in the U.S. and buy Somatropin online, understand you are breaking the law as this is a prescription only medication. Laws may vary from one country to the next making understanding the law in your country imperative.

Important Note: The use of Somatropin is banned by most sporting bodies.

Due to the laws surrounding Somatropin and the abundance of poor products, if you are looking for high quality products we encourage you to visit our site sponsors. Here you will find high quality anabolic alternatives that are legal and do not require a prescription.

Somatropin Reviews
In terms of overall benefits Somatropin is one of the most valuable hormones you will ever get your hands on. This can and will hold true whether used medically of for the purpose of performance enhancement. The downside is the issue of finding a quality product, and many don’t, but this is normally due to forging the necessary homework.

For the purpose of medical use, Somatropin truly is invaluable. The benefits of the hormone continue to expand as more and more is discovered. Unfortunately, in the U.S. much of this continues to be ignored as law makers have made research very difficult despite the already existing findings.

For the athlete, and this pertains heavily to steroid users, Somatropin sometimes gets a bad name. This is due to the individual having a skewed or improper understanding of the hormone, how to use it or what actually defines a benefit. The effects on the metabolism and recovery make this hormone phenomenal and worth including in any performance based plan. It’s almost impossible not to benefit from it with proper use. Perhaps even more important, the benefits that occur with Somatropin use are long lasting. The gains made through anabolic steroids are hard to hang onto; in fact, it’s impossible to hold onto them all once use is discontinued. This is not the case with Somatropin.

TB-500

TB-500 is a peptide fragment hormone that is primarily used in the treatment of various muscle injuries or pain caused by inflammation. There is very little official human data available for this product; however, it has been a longtime hormone used in racehorses. TB-500, although synthetic, serves to act as a synthetic form (loosely) of Thymosin Beta-4 (TB-4). TB-500 is not TB-4; although very commonly confused as TB-4, it is designed to provide the benefits of the naturally occurring thymus produced hormone.

TB-500 Functions and Traits
The thymus gland as well as in various localized cells in the human body produces thymosin Beta-4 (TB-4). TB-4 is found in cytoplasm in high levels of concentration as well as in wound fluid. TB-500 is designed to promote the actionable area – the part of TB-4 that promotes healing. More importantly, manufacturing TB-500, despite not being TB-4 is possible while the latter is extremely difficult.

Test 600x

The primary purpose of TB-500 lies in its ability to promote the upregulation of cells in the body. Upregulation increases the cell’s sensitivity to action, specifically in proteins such as actin. This action helps to regulate inflammation in injured areas of the body as well as provide new blood vessel pathways. Of interesting note - TB-500 possesses a very low molecular weight allowing it to carry a high level of mobility in the body. Simply put, TB-500 can travel long distances through the body, virtually to all locations. TB-500 does not have to be administered to the injured area but will find its way to all injured areas regardless of administrated location.

Effects of TB-500
In the world of performance enhancement, TB-500 is not meant to be used to bulk, cut, lose fat or increase strength. This is a peptide hormone that is designed to promote healing, specifically the healing of wounded or injured areas of the body. TB-500 can be used to treat muscle tears or strain, tendon inflammation and even skin injuries. This peptide will not cause instant healing of an injured area. If a muscle is torn it is torn, but use of TB-500 will in many cases speed up the healing process. For nagging injuries, those that don’t keep the individual out of the gym but slow his progress, it may provide the edge he needs to continue his training without it being diminished.

The effects of TB-500 have also been linked to hair growth, specifically the reversal of hair loss caused by male-pattern baldness. However, how significant this effect is and how much truth it holds scientifically is still highly questionable as no official data exist. The only data on hair growth is anecdotal.

Side Effects of TB-500
The side effects of TB-500 are lacking in official capacity as the peptide has been primarily used in horses since the early 1980’s with almost no human data available. As with any injectable medication, especially peptides, the most common side effect will be skin irritation at the injected site. However, this does appear to be less common with TB-500 as compared to other injectable peptides in terms of anecdotal reports by users. Headaches and other ill-like symptoms also appear to be very rare.

TB-500 Administration
TB-500 comes in freeze-dried (lyophilized) form and must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water for administration. The most common dosing range in human use is 2.0 to 2.5mg of TB-500 two times per week for approximately 4-6 weeks. Once the 4-6 weeks of use is complete, once the injured area has improved, some users will reduce to one to two injections per month for injury prevention. Many users report greater muscle flexibility when using TB-500, thereby reducing further injury potential.

Higher doses of TB-500, those beyond 2.0-2.5mg twice per week, there is no data available to support how much stronger such dosing plans will be. There is very little data to support the lower doses beyond anecdotal but even less when it comes to higher doses. As healing and injury prevention is the primary point of use and the 2.0-2.5mg plans seem to carry a high rate of success, this does tend to lend to higher doses being unnecessary.

Buy TB-500 Online
You can buy TB-500 online from numerous online chemical research companies. Research companies that provide non-controlled substances such as ancillaries, erectile dysfunction meds and various peptides often carry TB-500. You can also buy TB-500 online from various equestrian supply companies. However, there is no veterinarian grade form of the peptide as exists with certain anabolic steroids like Equipoise (Boldenone). A research or equestrian company simply sells it or they don’t. The only true concern is purity, meaning no outside chemicals or bacteria existing in the compound.

TB-500 Reviews
TB-500 is one of the more interesting peptides on the market due to its potential for directly healing injuries. Some data, although limited, has also shown the peptide may in fact have heart-healing properties, particularly that of ventricle hypertrophy. However, because full data on TB-500 is so limited, it’s very hard to give an honest review beyond “he said she said.” But it’s also difficult to ignore that many users do tend to heal much faster with it than without, and in some cases, faster than would seem possible.

It’s also important to note that TB-500 users often report better results when used with Human Growth Hormone (HGH) or Human Growth Hormone Releasing Hormones (HGRH) compounds. This isn’t surprising when Growth Hormone (GH) is one of the primary healing tools we have at our disposal. It’s hard to say how much faster healing will be with or without a GH product, but what we know of GH (there is massive amounts of data available on GH) it only makes sense that it would be much faster.

I know there are more like cabor, prami, clen etc. But I figured Id write some that arent so common, also most of these if i remember are injected not oral like clen etc.
Please feel free to update or fix whatever. I just wanted a place I can read up on all at once and figured I`d could give it a good start, contribute to this forum. Again this is a copy paste from another forums and dont want to link because i believe its against the forums rules to link other forums.
Hope this help anyone that wants to know more or new to peptides.
