    ghrp-2 and elevated cortisol

    i'vebeen on sermorelin 300mcg/GHRP-2 100mcg at bedtime for a few months and am getting some side effects consistent with raised cortisol levels,. A lot of stress and hair loss and acne. This is all i take, just these peptides, no testosterone or anything. Should I be concerned? get blood work?

    I feel GHRP peptides are better dosed with more frequent, smaller doses throughout the day (100mcg of each). When I dosed 200mcg at night, I noticed I started to retain water.

    A cortisol and adrenal test may be a good idea. Or just stopping the peptides obviously.

    If you're not on TRT, why did you post this here? Also, how old are you Daniel?

    i contacted a anti-aging clinic because i was interested in hgh therapy. the clinic would not prescribe me huh because my igf-1 levels are high for my age, 259 at 35. but they started me on peptides and it's going well. i sleep really well and i look and feel younger, more fit and energetic.

    Good to hear. Have you checked with them about the cortisol issue?

    Also, I thought the saturation does of GHRH (semorelin) was 100mcg, but you could take the GHRP higher. I actually don't think I've seen the dosing you are on before. But, if its working, they must know what they are doing.

    i'm switching clinics, the one i'm using now is really overpriced and they keep ****ing up my orders and sending them to the wrong address. but both clinics i've talked to say the same thing, for anti-aging it's best to use 300mcg sermorelin mixed with 100mcg ghrp-2 at bedtime, you should go to sleep directly after injecting and no food 2 hours before. It can take up to a year to see optimal results and improving your diet/lifestyle helps a lot. but after just a few weeks i started noticing significant and visible benefits. I'm gonna do a saliva cortisol test and if my levels are raised i'll switch from GHRP-2 to ipamorelin at the same dose.

    I've hears that ipamorelin is "weaker" compares to GHRP-2 and -6, but less prolactin and cortisol issues.

    I just started mod grf 1-29 and GHRP-6. I had some left over from my last run of 8 months. I'll take 100mcg of each throughout the day (at least twice) and then 200mcg of each before bed. I had pretty good results last time.
