Timing
Inject before bed on an empty stomach (at least 2 hours after your last meal). Tesamorelin works by stimulating natural GH release, which peaks during sleep.
Injection Site
Inject subcutaneously into the abdomen only. Rotate sites within the abdominal area, avoiding scar tissue, bruises, and the navel. Use a different spot each day.
Cycling
Standard cycles run 8–16 weeks. Some practitioners recommend the 5-on/2-off protocol for longer-term use (12–24 weeks) to reduce desensitization and manage cost.
Storage
Store unreconstituted vials at 2–8°C. After reconstitution, refrigerate and use within 14–28 days depending on the formulation. Do not freeze.
