What are the most common mistakes with Sermorelin?
The most common Sermorelin mistakes are eating within 30 min of injection (food blunts the GH pulse); underdosing, sub-200mcg often produces no measurable change; skipping the cycle break. Most issues people run into come down to protocol and expectations, not the compound itself. Going in informed matters here because human evidence for Sermorelin is limited.
