Semiglutide and Igf-1

[67cobra]

I have been on semiglutide at 2mg. Just started a 30 day cycle of igf-1 at 40mcg. Getting a little light head at times. Just started the igf1 and going to back it down to 30mcg for the rest of the week. Does suger help?
I have done a couple 30 days runs of both together before. Thanks for any help

^^^ok

Just started a 30 day cycle of igf-1 at 40mcg.

^^^do you mean IGF-lr3

Getting a little light head at times.

^^^IGF-lr3 lowers blood sugar ..& has a relatively long half-life

..so even tho your IGF-lr3 dose is low ..& even tho the blood-sugar drop is most likely subtle
..it's probably enough to make you light-headed when combined with a calorie deficit created by SEMA

^^^given what SEMA does ..makes sense, right?

^^^perhaps using a KETO diet at this time also? ..how about cardio? ← that's all likely to exacerbate your symptoms

Just started the igf1 and going to back it down to 30mcg for the rest of the week.

^^^IDK; ..i take IGF-lr3 to GROW

..if you say it's to preserve muscle in a deficit; ..then a better ..more economical route (..IMO) would be ANABOLICs

Does suger help?

^^^YES

I have done a couple 30 days runs of both together before.

^^^..& ??

..what were your calories then?
..how much of a deficit were you in then?
..what was you energy expenditure then?
..did you experience any symptoms then?

^^^cross-examine this run ..with the results & conditions of you previous runs

Are you taking just Semag' and IGF1?
what are you baseline glucose levels? Tested them during cycle?

 

[67cobra]

^^^ok


^^^do you mean IGF-lr3

Yes sorry

^^^IGF-lr3 lowers blood sugar ..& has a relatively long half-life

..so even tho your IGF-lr3 dose is low ..& even tho the blood-sugar drop is most likely subtle
..it's probably enough to make you light-headed when combined with a calorie deficit created by SEMA

^^^given what SEMA does ..makes sense, right?

Yes definitely make sense

^^^perhaps using a KETO diet at this time also? ..how about cardio? ← that's all likely to exacerbate your symptoms

No keto but mostly chicken and a little rice 1800 to 2200 cal if I don't cheat.

^^^IDK; ..i take IGF-lr3 to GROW

..if you say it's to preserve muscle in a deficit; ..then a better ..more economical route (..IMO) would be ANABOLICs

I started with igf-lr3 for growth but it really helped repair my knee. I am on trt 200mgs a week.

^^^YES


^^^..& ??

..what were your calories then?
..how much of a deficit were you in then?
..what was you energy expenditure then?

Low energy

..did you experience any symptoms then?

Yeah I start with 50mcg of IGF-lr3 when I was on semiglutide both times I had to lower the IGF-lr3 for the first week and kinda tapper up.

^^^cross-examine this run ..with the results & conditions of you previous runs

Amazing info thank you very much.

I am not sure but definitely seams like if I eat something sweet it helps. I will check my level. Thank you for your help

Combining IGF1 with Semaglutide is generally not recommended because both lower blood glucose levels. While it’s possible to combine them, and IGF1 does have legitimate anti-catabolic benefits, such a combination involves trial and error, especially when on a low-calorie diet, which makes it less ideal.

I would recommend using Semaglutide with HGH instead. HGH has hyperglycemic effects that can counteract the hypoglycemic effects of Semaglutide. If needed, you could also add AAS, especially since you're already on TRT.

Thank you for your input. I will
Look into hgh instead. Obviously cost is a factor. I did 2ius before with great results
