Feedback on a recovery-first stack after knee surgery (KLOW + sermorelin?)

Posted by carla_codes in Protocols & Stacks - 1 points, 2 comments.

Had a partial meniscus repair about 6 weeks ago and i am finally cleared to start loading the leg again. Before this i was running a pretty simple GH stack at night, mostly for sleep and recovery, but tbh i want to push healing a bit harder now that i am back in the gym.

Thinking about running KLOW during the day for the local tissue repair stuff (BPC, TB-500, GHK-Cu, KPV all in one, easier than pinning four vials) and keeping sermorelin at night before bed for the GH pulse while i sleep. So basically a split: regenerative peptides in the morning around training, and the GHRH fragment at night.

Two things i am not sure about. First, does it make sense to run sermorelin every single night long term, or is on/off cycling better to keep the pituitary responsive? Second, anyone had experience layering sermorelin on top of an already healing-focused stack like KLOW, any overlap or weird interactions i should watch for? My IGF-1 was tested before surgery and was on the lower end of normal if that matters.

  • student_mel: Congrats on the clearance, that is a big milestone after a meniscectomy. Splitting regenerative peptides around training and sermorelin at night makes sense in theory, the two are doing different jobs, but I would be cautious about loading four compounds at once when you are just back to loading the leg. On sermorelin, nightly use is what most people seem to do, but cycling off for a week every 6 to 8 weeks is common enough that I would consider it rather than running it non stop. Your pituitar
  • carla_codes: Thanks for the reply. Yeah the cautious approach is fair, tbh i was already cutting KLOW down to just BPC and GHK-Cu for now and skipping TB-500 and KPV until the leg tolerates more load. You mentioned watching my IG-1, is that mostly to make sure sermorelin is actually doing something, or is it more about catching a fasting glucose creep? I have not pulled bloods since before surgery and i should probably get a baseline before i start adding things back in...
