No response to CJC/ipa and Tesamorlin

[Khanh Nguyen, MD]

Hello everyone,

I am seeing a 48 yo F, no PMHx, eating clean and active.  She started out with low lean muscle mass, TBF 33%.  She tried 3 months of cjc/ipa without any muscle gain then 1 month of tesa- no change.  She is not eating enough protein and not lifting weight as recommended but I would expect some improvement in her body composition.

Her hormones are optimized.

 

Thank you

Hello Khanh,

What type of formulation is she using?  Injectible, troche…? What is the timing of doses with food?  There needs to be no calories for minimum of 90 minutes prior to and 30 minutes after the dose.

If she doesnt tax the muscles and is not getting enough protein intake, there is very little way to stimulate body composition changes and it will take much longer than if she was exercising.  Also, the changes can occur rapidly in trained muscle.  Untrained muscle would probably need 2-3cycles of treatment to start noticing something.  She is starting with untrained muscle and not stimulting them, it will take a LONG time.

Thank you so much.  I talked her into increasing her protein intake and adding strength training 3-5x/week.  She finally signed up for a gym membership.  She does a lot of spin/running.
