Preface: I am NOT referring to GH nor HGH Frag... only to other GH releasing peptides, i.e. GHRP-2, -6, Mod, etc...
Because there is very good evidence that exogenous GH administration works locally to reduce fat deposits, many also seem to think peptides do the same as well.
Here is a very brief but I hope clear picture as to why this is false...
- Exogenous SQ GH is, well, exactly that, GH in and of itself, which one of its properties is to increase lipolysis.... so there is a direct effect as well as systemic.
- Peptides SIGNAL THE PITUITARY GLAND to release it's own GH, which then travels systemically EQUALLY. When you inject a peptide SQ, it has to travel to the brain to get things going, whereas, again, SQ GH works at the site right away.
Now, I'm sure there are some here that will say they have noticed a decrease in abdominal fat since using peptides... first, I would say, "GREAT!", but second, I would then say, "It's simply d/t the increase in GH in the body itself and your abdominal fat cells may be more 'receptive' to the GH than other area's"
Is it "wrong" to inject peptides SQ? Of course not. What's the point of this thread? I'm very much a "teacher" at heart, so, more so for education... keep injecting SQ, I just wanted to make sure you know what is happening rather than simply doing/believing something without any thought/evidence behind it.
