Safety

It makes sense if you want

  • More energy & active metabolism
  • Longevity & deep anti-aging
  • Trim your waistline

It does not make sense if

  • Active cancer or oncology treatment in the last 5 years
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

Talk to your doctor first if this applies (2)

  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Hypertension

The certificate of analysis (CoA) certifies the identity and purity of the batch. It does not certify safety of use.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is it reconstituted with, and how much?

With bacteriostatic water: 5 ml into the 500 mg vial, giving 100 mg/ml.

What is the starting dose of the research protocol?

25 → 50 mg, 3×/semana · AM. This is the SBL research protocol, with no established clinical regimen in people.

How long is the cycle, and how long does a vial last?

8 weeks. At the starting dose, the 500 mg vial lasts ~3.7 sem.

Which route is used in research?

Subcutaneous.

When does it make no sense?

It makes no sense with: Active cancer or oncology treatment in the last 5 years, Pregnancy or breastfeeding. Details in the Safety tab.

What is it combined with?

It goes well with 5-Amino-1MQ, SS-31. The reasons are in the Protocols tab.

How do I check my batch?

With the code on the vial, in the verifier. The CoA certifies the identity and purity of the batch, not safety of use.
