Standard pre-treatment bloodwork includes comprehensive metabolic panel to check kidney and liver function, lipid panel for cholesterol, A1C or fasting glucose for diabetes screening, and thyroid panel
The two protocols do not overlap and can be run in adjacent cycles under provider guidance
Here's the truth: Your body already produces healing peptides
Because Dihexa promotes structural changes in synaptic density and neural connections, effects often persist beyond treatment duration, allowing for cycling approaches rather than continuous use
For additional perspective on how peptides compare with other treatment modalities, our guide on peptides versus TRT provides a framework for thinking about peptide therapy in the broader context of regenerative medicine
The distinction sounds academic until you consider what it means for appetite suppression, muscle preservation, metabolic adaptation, and long-term outcomes
