I’ve got lowish T levels (upper 200s or low 300s at its lowest), and in my early 40s, I’m at a point in my life where I can’t afford to have the low energy/lethargy/etc...that accompanies it. My GP has prescribed 100 mg/mL a week. I’ve taken that dose before, and it worked well. But I’ll be damned if, after years of being bombarded with their spots on 104.5, the advertising for the 2 places in the subject haven’t intrigued me.

I called Rejuvime and besides testosterone therapy, they have a ton of other stuff—several peptides, HGH, etc...I haven’t called the Aesthetic Medicine and Anti-Aging Clinic yet, but their website mentions at least HGH therapy along with testosterone. Does anybody have any experience with either or both of these places? Are the “extras” worth it?

I can’t remember which peptide they were pimping that caught my attention the most, but it was supposed to help with inflammation. I tore both my labrums in ‘98 doing stupid heavy dumbbell inclines and have dealt with pain ever since. Had my 2nd surgery on my right shoulder about a year and a half ago, but I had so much arthritis and so little cartilage left, that the surgeon didn’t want to tighten it up too much because the bone on bone would just cause more arthritis. So he did what he could and said he probably held off shoulder replacement for 15-20 years, but it was likely inevitable.

Anyway, not looking for sympathy, but the pain in both of my shoulders has started really affecting my sleep and it’s sucks. So if anybody has had experience with anything these 2 places that helped with chronic pain and inflammation, please let me know. Or any other remedy would obviously be welcome as well. As always, TIA.

i dont have expierence with them but i have a pretty good idea on peptides.

I will say my doc prescibed HGH peptides for me as my gh is low. Yea after pricing it from empower pharmacy, I will be uying black market should i ever dicide to go that route. Most of those places do not take insurance and for me was going to be in the 500/month range for peptides before being moved to mk677. Yea frick paying that when there peptides are outdated and can be got on the black market for 25% of the price. I doubt i ever go the route of taking a peptide, but im not paying 75% mark up.

the peptides you are interested in are BPC-157 and TB-500 if talking specifically for the injury.

if you are looking for growth hormone production let me know and i will lay it out for you.

The LA Aesthetic Clinic is legit. I was skeptical when I went there a couple years ago. I was fully expecting them to be quacks trying to sell me on every product they had but after getting my initial bloodwork done all they suggested was Test therapy as opposed to upselling me on HGH, Semoralin, etc. I think my initial Test levels were at like 190 which I wasn't expecting. I thought I'd be low but not that low. Anyways, they put me on 250 mg/week of Test C which put me around 900. I went for about a year and only stopped because once you know what to look for in your bloodwork it's WAY more economical to go the illegal route.

We have the ability to get peptides but don’t push it. Focus on getting the testosterone level where it needs to be.

Are those oral or injectable? And if you inject them, do you inject in the site of the injury?

I am very much interested to know more and figure out whether it’s right for me. I have another question or 2 about it that I’d rather ask you elsewhere. Is your email on here or should I post mine.

They're both injectable. BPC 157 is a spot injection. TB 500 can be injected anywhere, usually in your stomach fat.

Be careful with testosterone replacement. It can cause an increased risk of heart attacks in certain people.

Post a link to a peer review study or don't post dumb shite. True test replacement gets you to normal test levels for your age group nothing more.

For those that have been on Test injections, what have the results been? I’m 46 and began them about 2 months ago. The primary differences I’ve noticed are increased sex drive and after beginning weight training again, my muscles seem “harder” than when I used to lift previously.

I have tried both rejuvime and Aesthetic.

Rejuvime was much easier to deal with. Shits shipped to the house and I do it all myself. The subscription plan makes it easier as well.

Bloodwork done a couple weeks ago had my levels at 1035. Felt great.

300-800 is usually the reference range.

I second this. Monthly plan, start getting low on supplies, make a 30 second phone call and stuff shows up at your house a few days later. Go in to get bloodwork done every few months. Easy as pie.

As far as the OP question goes. I have done sermorelin and currently do test cyp. About 3 years ago I did Sermorelin for about 6 months. I didn’t notice anything for the first two months, other than immediate deeper sleep, which was great. Felt more rested obviously, and the dreams, man. I hadn’t had a wet dream in 15 years. I had at least 2 or 3 in the 6 months I was on it. At about the two month mark, I did start to notice strength gains in the gym and I did lean out some without changing my diet. I think there’s a lot of good to be had if you stay on it longer term. Ultimately I got off of it bc it was $350/month and I took a new job with an initial pay cut and couldnt justify the costs at the time. The other negative with it is that it’s a nightly sub q injection into your stomach fat. It gets old after a while.

About 3 months ago, I went back to Rejuvime just to do a blood draw and see where everything was at. I work shift work so naturally I’m sluggish a good bit. My T levels had dropped from 3 years ago, so I decided to go the TRT route this time. So far I’ve noticed some strength gains in the gym, but nothing outlandish, and I find it a little easier to stay pretty lean, but again not earth shattering. One thing to note, is that I’ve always had neck pain issues off and on while lifting. My neck hasn’t been sore or tight at all since I started test. I will say that I expected to feel a noticeable energy bump in my day to day life, and I haven’t really had that. The main positive for me has been that when I work nights, I wake up feeling pretty normal. When, in the past, the day or two after working nights were basically semi miserable low energy wasted days of my life. That in itself is worth the price of admission for me. There’s a noticeable increase in sex drive as well. That bird gets hard as a brick when the wind blows.

My testosterone replacement has the side effect of me making too many red blood cells causing my blood to thicken. I donate blood regularly to compensate for this. If I didn’t, I’d be at a higher risk for stroke. I think that is what one of the previous posters alluded to. I do blood work every 3 months. I feel like my T levels are under control. I’m not trying to be Arnold. At my age, I’m going for the Jack Lalanne look.

Pop what’s your level? Typically you don’t need to give blood unless your levels are too high.

I did rejuvame for a while. Then I switched away when Andrew dow left. I’m pretty dialed in so I get it all from my GP now, but i got really good results working with Andrew. He’s was at vitality, I don’t know if he still is tho.
