Cycle: Standard 26 weeks, Extended 52 weeks, or Long-term (NAFLD context) 12 months. Sustained therapy is generally needed to keep results as effects trend back toward baseline after stopping.
Benefits and research observations: IGF-1 levels and GH output rise by Week 2, early visceral fat decrease begins by Week 13, and primary endpoint (VAT reduction) is observed at Week 26. Maintain VAT effects with continued therapy.
