Sermorelin vs CJC-1295, what made you choose one?
I went with sermorelin because it has a shorter half life and a more physiologic, pulsatile release, which felt like a gentler starting point. My doctor was also more comfortable prescribing it. For those who considered CJC-1295 (with or without DAC), what tipped your decision? Curious how people weigh the longer duration against keeping things closer to the body's natural rhythm.

Sermorelin and fasting, does timing matter?
I've read that elevated insulin and a recent meal can blunt the GH response, which is why the empty-stomach guidance exists. I do an evening injection and try to keep at least a 2 hour gap after dinner. Does anyone time theirs around a longer fast? I do 16:8 most days and wondered if injecting toward the end of my fasting window changes anything noticeable, or if the bedtime empty-stomach approach is good enough.
