  Does anyone have a list of blood labs they run for each peptide protocol? I’ve built customized panels out for Semaglutide/Tirzep, BPC, CJC and Selank/Semax but I’d love to see the list that other providers use.

   

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Cara,

  I am also interested in learning more about what labs to order. I know an IGF would be useful. Following this!

  I think the labs are going to vary widely between different peptides and even between the same peptide being utilized for different applications. Generally, labs that come to mind (and without regard to where these may be more appropriate and indicated) – CBC, CMP, Vit D, mag, B12, iron studies, A1c, fasting insulin, hs-CRP, ESR, IGF-1, immunoglobulin panel, CD4:CD8, cytokine panel. Additional testing could include panels for oxidative stress and mitochondrial performance, glutathione.

  There is perhaps a temptation to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks, but I don’t think that’s the correct approach, and many people (at least in my area) are going to face affordability issues when faced with expansive labs on top of the cost of peptide therapy itself.

  All in all, the best bet would be judicious and selective use of labs that have the highest yield and greatest relevance to clinical decision making.

  neurotransmitters and cortisol profile could be of benefit regarding sleep energy and mood.

  Hi Bonnie,

  Actually through Rupa you can assess CD4:CD8 directly, there are a multitude of immunoglobulin panels available (IgA, IgE, IgG, IgG subclasses, IgM) depending upon the concern, and numerous options for testing interleukin levels and other cytokines. It comes down to what you are looking for. It would be hard to justify any of these without a legitimate reason for investigating or chasing something down a rabbit hole.
