This is not for everyone
Only a licensed provider can decide whether this treatment is appropriate for you. Do not use it if you have an active cancer or a history of cancer, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have had an allergic reaction to this peptide. Tell your provider about diabetes or blood-sugar problems, thyroid conditions, and every medication and supplement you take.
Serious risks
Because this peptide encourages the body to release its own growth hormone, it is not used where stimulating growth could be harmful, including active or recent cancer. It can affect blood sugar. Allergic reactions are rare but need urgent care: hives, swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. Long-term safety has not been established in large studies.
Common side effects
Pain, redness or swelling where you inject, headache, flushing, dizziness, sleepiness, nausea and restlessness, usually mild.
