Well the older you are, the better. Hard to say what age is too young but knowing what I know, I’d say 30 and up would be a logical age to start if we are talking minimum age.
Pharacuetical grade from a physician’s prescription can be $2,000 to $3,000 a month. When I checked about being part of Dr. Fahy’s TRIIM programs was the same range. Yeah…NO!!
Wait don’t pass out - like getting rapamycin from India there are sources ( I have used two) and cost has been $100 a month - that would cover 3.3 iu nightly injections for 30 days in a row. Much better. You purchase peptides/powder which you reconstitute with bacteriostatic water (cheap stuff) You will need to pay in bitcoin or equivalent payment. I will PM you those sources that I received by a knowledagle HGH user on this site. Lucky for us he did months of research on it.
I don’t think there’s good evidence to answer this, but this is my take above: In terms of best age to start therapy my best guess is to look at when thymus function decline accelerates.
“Thymic involution is associated with increased susceptibility to many diseases, including cancer, infection, and autoimmunity”
So looking at cancer and autoimmunity incidence, and also vaccine response… late 40s would probably be sensible. Fahy started on himself at age 46. The TRIIM trial was targeted at 50 to 65 year olds
Personally Im waiting for Fahy to spill the beans /patent on his new 90 day protocol. It adds a 4th ingredient and saves months of HGH dosing. But I’ve (some) time on my side
The reversal of age-associated thymic involution by melatonin added further support to the concept that melatonin can be a potential therapeutic agent for correcting immunodeficiency state associated with aging and possibly other immunocompromised states like severe stress Melatonin, immune function and aging | Immunity & Ageing | Full Text.
I listened to several of his Youtube interviews – easy to find. Search: Fahy Thymus. Based on interviews I think he was giving 2 iu - 3 iu for 4 days with a 3 day break. On the DHEA - I get mine at WalMart and have been taking two 50 mg pills with my nightly shot. So 100 mg total, so far no diabetic issues - but, he also says if you are in shape and work out - likely wouldn’t need DHEA.
Also, by taking HGH at night mimics the natural release you typically get. He also uses Metformin - I do not - can’t tolerate it. I use Acarbose.
Love it!
Just looking at dosing - the study I ref’d gave about 75ug a day of melatonin. Which (i think) is equivalent to about 3g/d for a 70kg person. So @John_Hemming level dosing.
He also mentions the peptide Thymulin and one of the reasons he takes Zinc to support it. However, he doesn’t directly state that he is taking Thymulin or thymus related peptides, but does discuss adding Thymosin Alpha 1 to boost immune function during the trials in the future.
This wasn’t much a secret because he always said he does take carnosine. He’s been elusive on other stuff, but it appears he’s opened up the list at above interview that @touringsedan posted.
I’ve wondered if Fahy’s Gen 2 thymus regimen includes MK-677 (ibutamoren). As a GH secretagogue, it promotes thymic growth via the same pathway as GH, but also acts as a ghrelin receptor agonist. Since ghrelin also promotes thymic growth, this could work more potently than GH alone, while also being much cheaper, more convenient, etc.
