r/Tesamorelin

How much Tesa do I need to purchase? I want to use it for visceral fat and waist.

Considering 2mg × 5 days per week × 16 weeks (this was the longest I seen so far) = 160 mg per cycle

Am I far off?

How many people have actually gotten blood work done before starting TESA? Is it really that important? Im new to this so any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hey good morning everyone, I recently got some Tesa and was directed to take 2mg to start off. I went to sleep at 12 after taking my shot at 11:30 and it’s 5 am and I woke up feeling super anxious,high heart rate, and a slight stomach ache. I was wondering if this is dangerous or super concerning ? Should I just lower my dose to .5-1 mg and then try again? My heart rate keeps fluctuating between 60-90 bpm.

Im on my second 12 week cycle of Tesa. The first cycle went well, with no sides. This round im experiencing joing pain where my femor meets my hip joint. Im talking like an aching throbbing type of pain around a 4 on the pain scale. It gets better and goes away with ibuprofen. Im on 2mg a day 5 on 2 off.

I'm just curious to see if anyone else has experienced this?

So in the past I’ve used BPC-157, TB500, Selank, Semax, GHK-CU, etc with no real issues reconstituting them. I’ve now started trying Tesamorelin and I’ve hit a wall with it.

I have 20mg vials. Read online pretty much everywhere to reconstitute with 2mL of bacteriostatic water, so I did that. Used it that night, put it in the fridge, then the next night the vial had basically turned into jelly. I had no idea what was going on.

I then added a bit more bacteriostatic water and it dissolved again. Added almost another mL total and it mostly dissolved, but still not perfectly. Didn’t really know whether to trust it after that.

Then I got told by a few people that Tesamorelin is supposed to be reconstituted with acetic acid solution instead. So I did a fresh 20mg vial with 2mL acetic acid solution and injected it tonight and holy shit, it burned BAD. Not “slight sting” bad either. Legit thought something had gone wrong when injecting it. It settled down afterwards and now it’s just red/sore around the injection site, but that was enough to make me seriously question continuing with this.

I’ve now got 10 vials total, with 2 effectively already used/testing:

one reconstituted with bacteriostatic water that gelled,

one with acetic acid solution that burned like hell.

Does this sound normal to people who’ve used Tesamorelin? Is there a specific type/strength/brand of bacteriostatic water people use with peptides like Tesamorelin that helps prevent the whole “turning into gel” issue? Or is this more likely a product/formulation issue?

Also, can the original bacteriostatic water vial that I added extra water to later still be usable, or once it’s gone through that weird gel/dissolve process is it basically questionable at that point?

I am a pretty lean guy already. 184 pounds, 12.9% body fat. 6% visceral fat. I was really just considering Tesa to help get a little more cut over the summer. If I dropped 1-1.5% body fat I would be happy. Is tesamorelin the right tool for the job?

what are yall experiences with higher doses or Tesa? not insane but like around 3 mg with a possibility to go up to 4. Is there any evidence to suggest (cost aside as a non-factor) that doing that will yield significantly (over 20%) better results than 1-2 mg?

Curious for those who are on it or who have done a cycle of Tesa, how much water retention of weight increase did you experience? Ideally give dose and frequency as well.

I’ve been on 2mg daily for 15 days now, no days off. I know a lot of people slowly increase it but I just went straight for it. So far no severe side effects however I am ballooning up a bit. Not really edema but more subcutaneous water and muscles ballooned up as well which is a plus. Midsection also has also increased a little.

I’m 5’10 206lbs, was 201lbs at the start and have since gained 5lbs despite being in an aggressive caloric deficit eating 2000 calories daily training 3x a week and getting 10-12k steps daily.

Curious to hear others experience here.

I’ve been reading the shelf life with older kinds was a week but it was reconstituted with sterile water. By all accounts I seem to be a hyper responder to retatrtuide .Different compounds obviously but I wanted to go low and slow with a 10mg vial. Possibly .5mg a day 5x a week which would put it at basically a month. Wondering if this is a dumb idea or if I should just go for smaller vials.

Being taking Reta for just over 8 months now and on 8mg per week single dose. Started with Tesa around 12 days ago. Everything was fine until 2 days ago. Pinned Reta the am and 2mg Tesa before bed. The next day around 12:30pm my heart just started going between 105 and 110, sitting down doing nothing. Took my bp and was a bit high around 132/90 but to be expected maybe water retention and high hr. Tested glucose levels 5.5. This persisted for about 4 hours. Didn’t do Tesa that night, resting hr was still a bit high, but the next day everything was fine.

Anyone else experienced this? 49/M Also doing SS-31 (5mg) everyday and MOTS-C (4mg) 2x per week.(Was not on the day of the MOTS-C pin that this happened) all in the am. Same diet as per usual for the last 8 months. No other sides at all.

I also thinking that there might be some interaction between SS-31 or MOTS-C and Tesa? Couldn’t find any reference anywhere?

Anyone stacking RETA, TRT, and TESA together? What are your thoughts on this?

Hey all, probably a stupid question but I recently started Tesa/Ipa cycle. 5 on, 2 off. I follow the rules. Take ~2 hours after last meal and before bed, usually around 8:30-9 pm. Its only my second week but holy crap the joint pain is insane and I itch EVERYWHERE for a few hours which makes it difficult to sleep. So now I'm not falling asleep until like midnight. My work outs suck and I feel drained. I understand its like a histamine reaction and is a common side effect but I'm wondering has anyone else experienced this? Should I push through or take a benadryl before? Change the cycle?

My bff is a nurse prectioner and she's taking sermorelin and her husband is strictly tesamorelin and neither have these reactions. Any suggestions is appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Been on trt and triz for about six months now with good results. Down 70 pounds while still getting muscle growth. Been in the gym five days a week since I started but recently started focusing hard on optimizing muscle growth. Added creatine and upped protein to around 200 grams a day. Thinking about adding tesa to help with muscle growth by giving my body some extra gh. I’ve seen a ton of people combine it with Reta and am curious if it works well with triz also? Any advice is appreciated.

For context I’m 5’9” and currently 235lbs. Definitely still have weight to lose especially in the mid section but I’m not interested in having a six pack. More of a strong dad bod. Also the trt is prescribed by my family doctor and I’m running in the high end of normal levels.

I have bottles of 10 Tesa/3 Ipa
How much water do I add to reconstitute? Also is it better to take in morning fasting or at night before bed? Thanks!!

I’m 6’2” and 196lbs currently. Have been hard at the gym the last month and have abs coming back. Will tesa help with that quick muscle build and burn more than just visceral fat? I don’t think I have much visceral, just mid section fat that’s left. I keep seeing 1-2mg a day doses which seems like a TON to me. I’ve been recommended .5mg a few times a week considering my build. Opinions?

I’m currently on week 4 of reta and seeing insane results. workout 5 days a week including cardio everday and abs every 48 hours. wanting to maximize my results and was curious is tesa would be worth the money for a couple months.

I’m gonna start Tesa but don’t know what time is better for me to take it, I’ve heard of people saying they get better sleep as a result of it, but after doing some digging I read that it has done the opposite for some people, what do yall recommend?

Every site I use is showing that it’s out of stock! Is this happening for others?
