MGF and IGF-1 LR3 same day, does the timing matter

Running the Performance Stack right now and got my head around most of it but one thing I'm still fuzzy on.

I've got IGF-1 LR3 at 50mcg post-workout and MGF at 200mcg post-workout. My question is do I actually need to separate these or can I just pin them at the same time? The half-life on native MGF is stupid short like 5 minutes so I always assumed you pinned it immediately after training, but I'm using the PEG version now and the info sheet says 24 to 48 hour half-life which is wild different.

Anecdotally I was doing them together for a couple weeks and felt like I was recovering okay but I'm getting paranoid now. Is there a reason you wouldn't want both activating satellite cells at the same time? Like does MGF and IGF-1 compete for the same receptors or something? I'm not trying to waste my peptides on redundant mechanisms if there's no point.

Also wondering if stacking them daily is overkill or if that's actually what people run. I train 5 days a week upper lower so daily post-workout dosing fits my schedule but idk if less frequent MGF dosing makes more sense given the PEG extended half-life. What are people actually doing with this stack in practice?
