🏃♀️ body recomp peptides · the skin-adjacent receipts
i started this protocol thinking it was a body comp stack but the SKIN effects ended up being the most surprising part. running log for 8 weeks · adding to it as i go. context · i was already lean, just trying to recomp without cardio destroying my barrier 💖
the protocol
what i noticed
deep sleep increased ~20% per oura · this is the CJC/ipa kicking growth hormone.
midsection composition shifted · less soft, more shape, without losing weight.
skin · the part nobody talks about. CJC/ipa elevates IGF-1, which feeds dermal fibroblast collagen synthesis. my skin texture week 6 was insane.
quick answers
is this safe long-term for women?
research-use only. for women the GH-pulsatile route is a known anti-aging research target. but it's not approved for use. cycle 8 weeks on, 4 weeks off in my protocol.
what about gut effects?
MOTS-c can shift glucose tolerance for some · i didn't notice any. CJC/ipa can cause water retention day 1-3 · went away.
