i bet for most people.less than a half iu is replacement dosing,i agree , 1 iu is alot compaired to what we make naturally
HGH Timing
- Thread starter TheBroadFather
- Start date
Best part about .5 iu, it’s so much h cheaper especially if you are using pharma.
I am still running 1 iu, but for tendon, rib healing.
thats right i forgot you had mentioned that awile back,1 iu pharma gh should be helping the recovery pretty well right,ya .5 of generic stuff is a waist of time,gh is not all equal
I really don’t know what the difference between generic and pharma, but other than one, all generic gave me horrible sides even as low as 1/2 iu.
Back pumps where I couldn’t bend over, far worse than 30 mg of dbol a day.
Pharma, nothing. At least with cinnotropin. And I know I’m getting something from the gh. I feel full like on a cycle and I heal almost as fast as when young.
3 weeks today and the ribs are not clicking anymore, but the muscle still likes to spasm. Hanging and lat stretching multiple times a day keeps it away and ice.
whats crazy is you just named off everything going wrong with myself lol your not lying here,cinnotropin is tops
Yeah I’m glad I ran into it. I was about to give up on gh.
that would have been terrible bro lol good gh changes everything
there’s lots of discussion about timing GH. i personally just take it 3 hours after my last meal before bed. they say the dose peaks while you sleep or whatever and the lipolytic effects are still present with fasted cardio in the AM. I however have not played around with different timing and have been on Reta when using it. fasted glucose is somewhere in the normal range (can’t remember numbers as I just take it at work,) at 4iu pre bed. also young though without ever having any A1C elevation.
I take 1iu daily @05:30 to 06:00, then wait a minimum of two hours to eat.
Theory according to my ND (and some of my research) is that it’s long enough before bed to allow my natural release the opportunity to still function. If I was taking more than a longevity dose 2iu or higher, I would take before bed and forego an attempt at a natural process to take place.
Side note: I feel this method is working as I did some Sermorelin at night (to finish off my last vial) with a good response (“feels”) and seemingly avoided a negative feedback loop. Energy and fat burning was good.
I haven’t been monitoring BG but should start. I haven’t had any hyper/hypoglycaemic responses.
I can’t remember who mentioned it but just get it into your daily program and be consistent. That’s the only way you will know how it will affect you.

You're welcome. I hope everyone, GH or not checks their blood sugar regularly. It's super important, not just for health but for growth and recovery as well.
I'm far from a GH expert and truthfully I don't really see it's usefulness, but maybe in the future I can give it a better shot.
I am taking gh at night because of convienience, but for some reason my brain says in the morning after you shower and before work would be better for anti-aging and fat loss.
Once winter hits and I move my gh inside out of the garage fridge, then I’ll give it a shot
As an example, I have not trained in a year. I have eaten way off script, but I’ve held on to my muscle mass and stayed lean at 55. I’ve not trained before taking the same amount of test and no gh, and the outcome was way different, and I was 5 years younger.

If you haven’t used gh or real gh for any extended period of time, I could understand why you wouldn’t see its usefulness. But once you do, then you understand. It’s not like gear, it’s subtle, but had a dramatic impact long term. More when you are older.

i think GH is pretty profound. i find i have a different look just with the skin benefits, and the pumps i get while on GH feel skin ripping. 10mg cialis can’t even touch it for me
I have no doubt you're right but my cycles have only gotten shorter and shorter over time so I wouldn't use something like this long term at bodybuilding dosages. As far as I see it, GH is good for increased insulin resistance, weird bone growth and making people's faces look weird. Not my thing. Outside of a legitimate HRT/ QoL dose I remain unconvinced.
The main barrier has always been getting my blood sugar under control while using it otherwise I could see myself using 1-2iu of the stuff, but then again I've only seen slight benefits. I'm sitting on a decent amount of it so I will give it a solid run when I'm much leaner. I'm a fat ass right now and I'm just getting back into the swing of things
Hey Sorbate - how long ago was it that you used generic hgh and got the sides ? are we talking recently - or back 4 or 5 years ago ?
I'm taking hgh now - 3iu early morning 7am. Like you I started slow - 1iu / day - increased it .5iu/ week till I am where I am now - although you titrated up more quickly .
I too have a bs meter-- and I've tested myself for the last 2 weeks first thing in the morning before the hgh- and am typ at 5.4-5.6 which is ideal.
I am on reta.
I have read that the body does acclimatize to the hgh - so although your bs may be high it will come back down over time.
I did a test one morning - and took my bs before the 3iu - was 5.6 and then 2.5 hrs later (still fasted I just went back to bed) - it was still 5.6
Next morning I took 5 iu to see if I could spike my bs - and again checked before & 2.5 hrs later - again results were ideal 5.4 & 5.4. So maybe my system is getting use to it - maybe I'm just not affected that much by it.
You may want to run your hgh at a low dose 2iu for a month to see if your bs readings come down like mine.

I've read that if your taking low dosage - then early morning is best as your IGF-1 levels return to baseline about 15 hrs later - which would allow your pituitary the ability to release it's natural gh pulses when your sleeping.....That's what I do- at present I'm 3iu in the morning.
I think your timing wise it all depends on your age/how much gh your pituitary is producing - and on how much hgh you are taking.
Sounds like you go to bed later than normal though.
I have a strong suspicion that my natural gh pulses are low or non existent...I may try taking hgh before bed to see if it helps my sleep....that would really be nice if it did...
Maybe 2 years ago. I even tried 1/2 iu eod and still had issues.
I have ran 4 iu of cinnotropin and zero issues other than i get really full, joints got tight.

I do 2iu’s pre fasted cardio. Intramuscular. Hgh timing and doses solely depends on goals; what do you want to achieve from utilizing hgh
Have you considered it might have been that you had hgh with high dimer count that was causing the sides ?
That was a few years back - hgh quality has improved since then.
