Researchers select between these based on the research question sustained elevation research favors DAC, while pulsatile-pattern research favors without-DAC
However, some mild side effects may occur, especially during the adjustment period or at higher doses: Headaches Temporary injection site irritation Lightheadedness Water retention (in rare cases) Mild tingling or numbness (from elevated IGF-1) Ipamorelin induced growth hormone release without elevating cortisol or ACTH levels, suggesting minimal off-target effects.
