I did some quick math and for myself (82kg) 3.5 daily is on high end for the TRIM protocol. Luke’s math above would put me at 3.7 3-4x a week. Or if I net it out, about 2.1 IU / day. Which is approximate where I am at daily.
3.5 daily will put me into super physiological levels. Along with Carple tunnel. Which if I was a bit older, I’d probably be ok with. But prefer to stay in range at 45.
I did 3.5mg daily 5 days a week for about 3 months last year and I don’t think I got anything out of it. I don’t recall getting any benefits (maybe) and no side effects either.
(3.5iu x 5 days week) / 7 days = 2.5iu / day (average). This is probably closer to replacement levels and that makes sense.
Same here at 70
Grey with black on top, no grey elsewhere.
LukeMV,
As I was watching this video I was surprised by Greg Fahy’s very dark full head of hair, and his beard looks like it has a lot of color, too. I know plenty of people in their 70s and not even one of them has their original hair color, They all have varying depths of gray to all gray hair. Is it known whether or not this is natural for him or whether or not his hair color came back after going through the TRIIM protocols? And, of course, there is certainly the possibility that he could be dyeing it?
To me he looks like he dyes his hair and facial hair, and to make the matters worse he doesn’t even do a good job at LOL. Nah his hair is not original color, no way nor is his beard. But he does look pretty good for someone approaching 80, I think he’s 77 or something. I was watching some video of his like 15 years ago and to me he looks better and probably younger now than then.
For those who have not read/listen to following, review.
All instruction / procedure / protocol are available,
You just require the moxy / desire to follow through.

I honestly don’t know whether his hair is his natural color or he dyes it but I am glad he is doing his best to de-stimagtize HGH
yeah, he definitely 100% dyes his hair. Just looked closely at the video right now and his hair roots are completely white, but at least he maintains a full head of hair, and yes, he does need a new hairdresser because his hair color is way too fake for my liking, and that’s how I could tell right away that he dyes his hair (at least Sinclair does a way better job at dyeing his hair lol though I must admit he overdoes it with botox). Initially, I thought he’d used shoe polish as hair dye LOL that’s how bad it is. Could someone reach out to him and tell him about the C7 or whatever the heck we been using (forgot the name but got the source from here somewhere) as my hair looks way more natural when I use it continuously for couple weeks LOL.
First time I’ve heard of C7, sounds intriguing though. Do you have a source?
How will we know when this safe to do this by ourselves? I am intrigued, but I don’t know to conceptualize the risk I might be taking. I would also want to find a doctor to monitor me, but that is separate problem.
Kelman, talking about hair color my point of view is that it’s a clear signal of how rapidly my decline is happening. I don’t see the point of dyeing it. Seeing my now mostly gray hair motivates me to pursue things like rapamycin and possibly HGH. For me it’s just a big experiment or maybe a final Hail Mary pass just to see what will happen health and longevity-wise.
Well. the first you heard because there isn’t such a thing as a C7 unless you are looking to blow something up with dynamite LOL. In my defense I did say I forgot the name, but now that I’m home the name is GR7 and NOT C7. and the source is this:
Natural Treatments for Grey Hair and Hair Loss - GR-7 Professional
out of UK, very expensive but I only buy once a year or 18 months. I only have gray hair a little in my sides
Well, you might be new here but there was a time when TRIM and TRIMX were all the rage in here and everybody and their mother was doing one form or the other LOL. While nothing is a sure thing 100% the protocol/meds are very safe including HGH at these low levels. There’s many in here who have done some form of it (myself included) with no side effects to think of, and unfortunately no benefits either. I only did about 3-4 month though and I think it is recommended to do 12-18 months.
I freshly started this week again, but I’m torn if I should stop all other meds and supps cold turkey and only stick with the TRIIM protocol for a period of one year or so or is it ok to continue maybe on a pulsed way i.e. 4 days the protocol and three days everything else.
My main issue is will some meds/supplements cancel out the effects of TRIIM protocol, and I’m talking mainly about lipid lowering meds and glucose lowering meds.
Anyone’s ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated especially those in medical field or some that are in advanced stages of knowing how meds work.
I watched that video interview on the substack.
“During our interview, Dr. Fahy made a striking claim: Most people who die after age 60 actually die from immune system failure. Not directly—but because their weakened immune systems can’t fight off cancers, infections, and other threats that younger immune systems would handle easily.”
Not sure why Dr. Fahy did not mention the most common cause of death - cardiovascular disease.
What makes you think lipid lowering meds or any others would cancel out TRIIM effects?
Stop stressing over gray hair. It just means your body is actively clearing out damaged pigment stem cells that carry a cancer risk.

McSC fate tracking in mice revealed that McSCs undergo cellular senescence-coupled differentiation (seno-differentiation) in response to DNA double-strand breaks, resulting in their selective depletion and hair greying, and effectively protecting against melanoma.
Was reading about this mouse that lives 5x longer than other mouse strains. They find these mice have fully functional immune systems and their thymus is not involuted up to death. They speculate this is one of the key elements that allows them to live 5x longer.
One more hint that restoring the human thymus might be the right choice.
Actually, I was asking people with better knowledge if that could be the case, but personally have no idea as I’m not very well versed when it comes to meds. So, from your question I assume you think it is fine to continue with my normal daily meds (mainly lipid and glucose lowering) while also doing TRIIMX
