What are the most common mistakes with Ipamorelin?
The most common Ipamorelin mistakes are eating within 30 min of injection (food blunts the GH pulse); skipping the pre-bed dose; not cycling off. Most issues people run into come down to protocol and expectations, not the compound itself. Going in informed matters here because human evidence for Ipamorelin is limited.
