I have CJC+I on the way. I have seen conflicting recommendations on dosing. Some say before bed and fasted while others say first thing in the morning (obviously fasted). And the dosing protocol is anywhere from 100mcg to 1g. Interested in older guys experience (I am 50).
 
I have been using it for a couple of months. Sometimes morning and sometimes evening depending on the fasted situation. I use 300mcg and I feel like it is helping my recovery more than anything. I’m 67 and do resistance training 3 days a week.
 
I got mega side effects the first dose but was glad really because it was a strange feeling and at least I knew it was legit . After the first dose I don’t get any sides and it has been helping g with my sleep ( take it before bed fasted )
 
I've been doing 250mcg of each before bed Sunday-Thursday. I've read your body releases the largest pulses of GH shortly after you go to sleep and that pinning before bed lines up with that nicely and may sort of enhance the effect. It is kind of hard for me to be fasted that long before bed, though. I am 44.
 
CJC/IPA has been know to cause allergic reactions and injection site reactions. I started really low around 100mcg and I haven’t needed to increase the dose. More isn’t necessarily better, because there’s a limit to how much growth hormone you can actually produce. Keep a close eye out for any weird reactions like full body itchiness, hives, etc, it could be a sign your body doesn’t agree with it. I’m looking into getting an epi-pen because I’ve heard some people tolerate it well for awhile until they don’t.

If you are not fasting it is a wasted shot. I did it for 6 months and bit the bullet and went with hgh. Best decision I have made, No comparison between the two.

Good idea. I had a crazy allergic reaction to it after taking for a couple months. Scared me bad

I just heard this about Mots-c as well. How hard is it to get an epi pen lol

I will give it a try, then HGH for sure haha
 
If you're also taking any GLP-1, don't bother pinning before bed. As CNC posted above, it's just wasted if not properly in a fasted state. Any insulin blunts the effect and the slowed gastric emptying makes it nearly impossible to be fasted on any reasonable eating and sleeping schedule. I wasn't aware of this and saw no benefit on CJC-IPA.

After realizing my error, I switched to weekday mornings using 250 ugms each. I work out hard M, W, F and was having a rough time maintaining strength on Reta. After switching to morning dosing, gym days got easier with less joint pain and consistent strength gains. Totally anecdotal since I have no blood work to support this.

Do you mind sharing more about your experience? I’m curious if you had injection site reactions before it happened and if there was any indication that your body was becoming less tolerant of it before hand.
