question from a user
How about stacking TRT with peptide therapy. Are Sermorelin, Tesamorelin, or CJC w/ Ipamorelin actually safe to use with TRT? What are the real benefits? I know they say improved sleep, muscle growth and recovery that is mimicking the effects of HGH but is it actually beneficial and safe to use with TRT? Will this cause unwanted sides down the line? Curious as I’m a 43M, been on TRT for a total of 10 yrs and have noticed recovery in the gym has gotten harder after intense sessions, sleep isn’t as good as it once was and even with my diet being 99% on point noticed some stubborn fat that is hard to kick. Just wondering if any of these peptides are worth it

These are perfectly reasonable options. Currently we and other TRT providers can dispense Sermorelin, though not long ago it was permissible to work the the other peptides you mentioned as well. We've seen success from men who have used them together. In relation to HGH, they are safer & *far* easier to have prescribed since HGH is very controlled. In terms of muscle mass and growth, they work well, and may assist with cutting body fat in the long term but in the short term there is typically some water weight retention while on these. That is why you tend to do 5 days on & 2 days off weekly.For pure fat loss, GLP-1s tend to help more in that area, which also pairs well with TRT as the T helps maintain muscle mass as you are dieting.
