Can someone explain why you have to wait 3 hours after eating to inject a peptide?

What the title says, why do you have to wait?

Is it because GH and Insulin share an inversely proportional relationship with each other?

3 hours would then be an arbitrary time to wait but would suffice for most foods, right?

What if I were to take Casein protein, which takes like 8 hours to fully digest, could I still just wait for 3 hours?

Or is that obsolete because protein doesn't affect the peptide at all?

Thank you.

The reality is casein protein will have no effect at all on peps and gh release.

BTW it isnt 3 hrs, its 30 mins pre and post pep injection.

What?

I thought you had to wait 3 hours after eating before taking an injection to make sure your stomach was empty and that you wouldn't block out the GH pulse and then wait 25-30 minutes to allow the pulse to manifest.

30 mins pre and post inject.
