HGH beginner

Negan said:
When I started I used 2iu for a few months increased to 3iu for a couple more then I went to 4iu for a long time, I tried 5iu but I'd fall asleep at my desk after lunch. I used to check my morning fasted bg with a glucometer weekly and I was always fine at those doses.

Been doing daily readings, my average has been 5.2 fasted over the last week at 1iu will be going up to 2iu next week. Will probably keep testing daily fasted and the odd test after a meal here and there. Im in no rush and want to stay in healthy levels but would like to be around 4iu before bulk cycle.

That's a decent plan IMO. From bloodwork studies I've looked at in the past igf builds slowly over time and even 3iu can start to venture into acromegaly territory, not something I'm super concerned about but my feet have grown a little over the last few years, I used to be able to fit a size 13 in most shoes but now I absolutely need a 14. Oh and my hair and nails grow super fast. I took the winter off GH and the gear and I can see a mark in my toenails where I started using GH again and the nail growth increased. All my toenails have this mark, it's a ridge about halfway and they're thicker after with the new growth.6860.jpg

Bone growth is exactly why I wouldn't go past a legit replacement/ rejuvenation dosage, especially for my face. I like the way my face looks I don't want that changing at all.

Yep same that’s why I don’t do more than 1 iu, but your face chances as you age.

It does, but not in the way excessive GH changes someone's face. Not even in the slightest. With GH is more of a structural change than anything. Some people look like they're growing horns if I'm being honest.

The degree it naturally changes varies a lot based by genetics, ethnicity, etc. too.

When I'm asked about GH dosing protocols, here's my typical advice. Based on my experience personal and with people I coach.

2iu - basically useless imo
3-7iu for quality of life benefits such as improved sleep quality, recovery, skin and hair quality. Some lipolytic benefits.
8iu+ is where I see the body composition benefits start to become more pronounced. This is where overtime you'll start to notice yourself developing the round, full, bubbly bodybuilder look.

Storage doesn't really matter as far as I know, I store mine in the refrigerator.

In terms of dosing timings, in a fat loss phase I believe it's best to take an AM/PM dose to maximize your exposure to the lipolytic benefits. In a growth phase, bolus dose before bed seems to be the most favourable for managing blood sugar.

Some of the acute effects I notice is improved sleep and some fullness in my physique. Long term effects are the body composition benefits I mentioned above. Along with some undesirable ones like facial bone restructuring. I look like a fucking neanderthal now lol.

Run it until the day you die if you can afford to do so. No reason to come off. I will adjust my dose throughout the year depending on the goal though.

Only advice I have in regards to using GH is to keep on top of managing your blood sugar. Chronically high blood sugar will have you spinning your tires big time in this game. And of course the health implications of high blood sugar.

@BanditNOLIMIT the dosages you suggest(3-7iu) I’m assuming are daily Doses for 7 days a week?
