Introduction

I see many people on this forum do not know the difference between chondrocytic igf1 and serum. They wonder how come most ISS studies on GH don’t show much or any increase in FAH? It’s because HGH (semi-continuous exposure) is not a viable option for Local IGF-1. My thread will go over the most viable option (GH pathway) for Local IGF-1. (I will have thread on local IGF-1 vs Serum soon)​

Summary


A highly effective approach for enhancing local IGF-1 signaling involves combining GHRP-2, CJC-1295 (no DAC), and a somatostatin (SST) inhibitor such as melatonin.
For optimal results, injections should be performed after at least 3 hours of fasting, followed by a carbohydrate intake 30 minutes post-injection to support the GH → IGF-1 conversion.

Reasoning

The most reliable way to stimulate local IGF-1 is to amplify your body’s natural GH pulse rather than forcing a prolonged, artificial elevation. GHRP-2 and CJC-1295 (no DAC) do exactly that.

They avoid issues such as STAT5b resistance, which can blunt GH → IGF-1 signaling.
(As referenced in “Regular Meals Matter: Bone Growth and Beyond,” disturbances in STAT5b severely impair IGF-1–dependent growth.)

  • GHRP-2 → GHS-R1a (ghrelin receptor)
  • CJC-1295 (no DAC) → GHRH receptor

By activating both pathways, they enhance GH secretion far more than either alone.
This dual-pathway synergy is repeatedly supported in GH-stimulation research. ( Lol they grew from GHRP nasal spray as well ).

SST Inhibition


Somatostatin is one of the body’s strongest GH-inhibiting hormones. It works directly against GHRH and suppresses pituitary GH release.

To get the highest possible GH peak, lowering somatostatin is essential. Melatonin has been shown in studies to increase GH lower SST. For example, one study shows dosages up to 5mg melatonin increased GH and decreased SST compared to placebo both prior and after exercise.

first thread idk what to post. and surprisingly ngas dk what chondrocytic igf1 is
yeah, Thread is good, but should be common knowledge.

I mean its usefull info.
But id say post about sox9 and runx 2 would be interesting.
maybe some method on how to optimise them.
Also HDAC inhibition would be interesting to see.

sure, i already got sox9 and run down in my docs but ive been looking into hdaci more ( not some vorinostat cope )

Thats what i also thought but you need pan-HDAC inhibition for pro-osteogenic effects
 
HGH mogs all the peptides and HGH secretagous

Can I combine 10IU HGH with somostatin inhibitor?
 
Thats what i also thought but you need pan-HDAC inhibition for pro-osteogenic effects
no, also did you ever debate saif about abalo or no

Would it make sense to combine 10IUs of hgh with ghrp 6 and cjc 1295?
 
i woul do 20 ius of gh
Hard to Finance But would maybe do. 10 still better Than Natural I think. But would you combine with somostatin inhibitor the gh?
 
huperzine a, arginine, and acupuncture also lower somastatin
 
there are also difference in gh -> igf1 conversion and circulation

exogenous gh is more well-studied though so i wouldn't say secretagogues are definitively better
 
no, also did you ever debate saif about abalo or no
Nah i stopped debating him after the rhGH one because he never reads my responses fully neither does he read anything he provides himself, whenever he’s close to losing the debate the responses get even worse

Yo, is 30mins enough for the gh peptides to actually be done releasing gh so the insulin doesnt suppress them?
