New peptide just dropped — FLGR242

#1 Apparently theres a new version of FST-344 that doesn’t bind activin (so supposedly avoids organ growth or sketchy side effects), and it's got albumin binding so it stays active in your system for like 19 days per shot. The older versions of follistatin (like FST-344) had a half-life of under 90 minutes. Jay Cutler’s been talking about it, which made me a little skeptical tbh, but I looked into it and it seems kinda interesting. Not cheap though like $799 for two 5mg vials (1 month supply), dosing is 5mg every two weeks sub Q. I just got a DEXA scan done to track any changes. Gonna run it for 2–3 months, stay on top of diet/training, and see if it actually does anything. Has anybody else heard of this? Anyone out there crazy enough to try this new form of follistatin and report back?
