Tesamorelin

“Yeah. I keep around BPC 157 and TB500 for injuries. I run a couple of times a year, a Tesamorelin, Ipamorelin with CJC 1295 cycle for growth hormone. And those are the biggies.”

“You know, who prescribed me it was Larry Lipschultz, and this was, again, like 15 years ago. So we had to do it. I think the other peptides we were talking about, like Tesamorelin, and Ipamorelin, CJC, 1295. They've all replaced it. A lot of those are what people are using now. Yeah, right. Are they mimicking the same sort of effect?”

“I haven't dabbled with that one yet. And then there are the so-called growth hormone secretagogues. So we're talking about Tesamorelin, Ipamorellin, CJC 1295. These will promote more growth hormone release and sleep. They will have a negative feedback effect where they're going to shut down some of your own production.”

“The cleanest illustration of this is CJC 1295 versus Tesamorelin. Same underlying biology developed around the same time. CJC 1295 reached phase two but was abandoned. Tesamorelin advanced to phase three and received full FDA approval.”

“And then using a growth hormone modulation if you can afford growth hormone or Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin. And you're seeing people lose a lot of fat, gain a lot of muscle in short amounts of time. Is that healthy? We'll find out. But that is like the celebrity protocol. Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life.”

“is year-round. So what, what if you did a cyclical cycle of, and this is not medical advice, but just theoretical cyclical cycle of Tesamorelin for, uh, a certain amount of time, got your IGF-1 to a certain level under clinician guidance, measured your, your thymus on an MRI before and after, and then you saw that the thymus grew and you had, you know, higher CD4, CD8 count.”

“obviously, you know, hyper-responsive prostate to Sermorelin, maybe it wouldn't have been to Tesamorelin, et cetera, but, but those are the kinds of things that might just be the growth hormone itself. Like growth hormone secretion. That's a good point. As you age, your prostate gets bigger. The bane of every man is going to be BPH.”

“With Tirzepatide or Retatrutide, whatever it may be, and then using a growth hormone modulation. If you can afford growth hormone or Tesamorelin, Ipamorelin. And you're seeing people lose a lot of fat. Gain a lot of muscle in short amounts of time. Is that healthy? We'll find out. But that is like the celebrity protocol.”
