What is the Tesa + Ipa Blend?
This blend combines tesamorelin, a particularly strong GHRH analog, with ipamorelin, a selective GHRP, in a 17mg vial (11mg tesa + 6mg ipa). You also find both individually in the lexicon. Tesamorelin is clinically known mainly for reducing visceral belly fat.
How it works
As with the CP10 stack, two systems of the GH axis interlock: tesamorelin at the GHRH receptor, ipamorelin at the ghrelin receptor. Together this gives a strong GH pulse. The difference from CP10: tesamorelin is seen as the more potent GHRH analog with a particular focus on visceral fat.
The individual mechanisms are in the lexicon entries for tesamorelin and ipamorelin.
What you need
- The blend vial (lyophilized powder, both compounds).
- Bacteriostatic water, U-100 insulin syringes, alcohol swabs.
Reconstitution
Use the calculator above. The values refer to the total amount (17mg). A 17mg vial with 2ml water gives 8.5mg per ml. Just add the water to the vial and let it dissolve.

Injection
Subcutaneous, ideally fasted. Disinfect the site, pinch a skin fold, rotate sites.
What the research shows
The GHRH-analog pharmacology is studied in healthy people (Ionescu & Frohman, 2006), and tesamorelin is clinically documented for reducing visceral fat (details in the tesamorelin entry). For the fixed mix there is no separate study, the benefit derives from the individual compounds.
Side effects
- Water retention, tingling, joint stiffness at higher GH levels.
- Local reactions at the injection site.
Storage
Before mixing the powder is robust, normal room temperature (around 20 to 25 degrees) is fine, ideally kept in the dark. After mixing, keep in the fridge (2 to 8 degrees), do not freeze. It stays good there for at least 8 to 10 weeks with barely any loss of potency, in practice considerably longer. Swirl or shake to mix, both are fine.
