Thank you very much, you're very kind deltafox - fantastic topic* 8)
Melanotan was also a catalyst for my experience w/ peptides, damned gateway peptide-drug (lol)! Enjoyed your feedback in the Melanotan 1 dept for certain, thanks again - anything new in the melanotan tanning arena btw?
Ipamorelin and TB-500 (Thymosin Beta 4) would be my two growth peptides of choice. For anti-aging, recovery & regeneration...legal research peptides...hard to beat the combo/value. Ipamorelin is a subtle GHRP dosed for the long haul (as long as insulin injections are not a burden), Thymosin Beta-4 is dosed as a luxury when healing is the focus and/or after trauma. Both products may increase rate of hair/skin/nail growth... Growth hormone peptide use may increase deep sleep, improve skin quality and combined in male users with healthy (or synthetic) testosterone...increase muscle mass (or water retention, as rHGH is known for...not to mention lethargy upon start of therapy).
First, the ipamorelin is a user-friendly, effective growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP). Compared to GHRP-6, the Ipamorelin has less side-effects and effect from ghrelin. Further, Ipamorelin is easier to dose - dosage for ipamorelin can be little or large amounts (GHRP-6 generally should be dosed at moderate-conservative dosages imho), combined with either sermorelin or mod GRF (1-29) to spice up the results (GHRH use can become premium/expensive). Note]DatBtrue[/url] back in the day...remains most popular/best-selling growth hormone analog (USA). Combining 100-300mcg of Melanotan peptide + Ipamorelin 100-500mcg for month(s) leading up to the beach/vacation may be viable protocol.
Thymosin B4 (Tb-500), dosed at 5mg (or 2.5mg 7 days later... if $$ is concern), has zero-side effect from injection (subcutaneous or intramuscularly administered). Some report TB-500 results as far as the anti-inflammatory to be quick. Most reports, and in my experience, after day(s) the Thymosin beta relieves/repairs tissue...creating almost an aphrodisiac-like high , users with knee/leg trouble or history may be inclined to jog/run (desire to pound pavement like @ 25 yrs of age). Dosing TB500 for 4-6 weeks offers perspective...seems to be a well-reviewed product by majority of researchers*

Best leave the Sermorelin + GHRP-6 combo for the aggressive bodybuilder type. GHRP-6 can lead users to consume calories, out-shining over-eating off cannabis (unsure of other analogy). Many dose a large quantity GHRP6 to gauge/test for side-effects, a practice I must urge against (same goes for Hexarelin, a less popular gh peptide). GHRP injections can be hit or miss...sometimes the cascade of actions does not lead to result - with time, patience & diligence the therapy with GHRP should yield similar results to the longer-lasting, difficult to manufacture(/acquire legally), 191 amino acid HGH (human growth hormone). Good thing the peptides work to restore and keep the hair without negative effect from DHT (also allowing for use alongside propecia/proscar/finasteride, dutasteride).
