My Apollo Stack Run: Appetite, Nausea & A outspoken Body Fat Drop

Posted by amber464 in Weight Loss & Metabolic - 2 points, 3 comments.

25 mg weekly, 5‑Amino‑1MQ 100 mg twice a day, MOTS‑c 10 mg three times a week, and tesamorelin 2 mg daily. The first week I got that classic semaglutide nausea, I was literally gagging over oatmeal for a few hours. 5 mg, the nausea subsided, though I still felt bloated sometimes.

Appetite dropped noticeably; I cut my carb intake by about 30 % without feeling deprived. I logged HRV and saw a modest rise, which I think aligns with the metabolic uptick. After six weeks, my waist shrank 3 inches and I lost 8 lbs, mostly from visceral fat.

entfernen. The injection site for tesamorelin only got a mild redness that cleared in a day. If you’re considering this stack, start low, be patient with the GI side‑effects, and keep an eye on your weight and body composition. Imo it’s a solid combo if you’re ready to commit to the daily doses.

  • holly763: tbh I’ve seen the same semaglutide‑style nausea with an oral peptide stack. I tried a low‑dose line‑up last year and felt the same gag‑stage on oatmeal, but it tapered off after a week, so starting low is legit. One thing I’ve wondered is how the tesamorelin is affecting cortisol; I started checking my morning cortisol when the redness at the site came up. Also, you mentioned a 30 % carb cut, did you notice any changes in glycogen stores or muscle maintenance? For me, I had to tweak the carb ti
  • aspiring_trailrun: I found the nausea eased after dropping to 5 mg too, and it stayed low for the rest of the run. My morning cortisol looked steady on the saliva strips I used, no obvious spike. Cutting carbs did make my glycogen feel a bit lighter on long runs, but I kept strength by adding a small pre‑run banana and a post‑run whey shake. 😊
  • aspiring_trailrun: I totally agree – starting low really helps with the gag‑stage, and I cut my carbs by a similar amount without feeling drained. I haven’t measured cortisol, but I know it can rise with growth hormone secretagogues, so that’s worth watching. Do you see any dip in energy around mid‑morning runs after the carb tweak? Also, how are your cortisol readings?
