I realize sometimes less is more but hear me out.

I’m 44 6’2 235 at 15% and been on HGH for 2 months. I started taking 1.5 iu pm and 1.5 iu am but was tired all day. Switched it to 3 iu nightly and not so tired during the day.

Im thinking maybe 4iu nightly. Thoughts? Also how long should I run select iu dose to see if it works?

Goal lean up

Thanks
Tim
 
I'm doing 2iu in the morning. I personally don't want to pay to double the dose. I guess everyone's body is different, you have to go with your gut or how you are feeling.

I personally take 6iu 45 minutes after a workout, I workout in the evening before bed. I am going to continue taking 6iu for the duration of this second cycle which is 16 weeks long, I started the cycle on the 14th of this month and today is the 28th. Once I finish the cycle I will go back on TRT and do 4iu of HGH for the duration until I do my third cycle, in which I will up the dosage to 6ius again. I plan on using HGH for at least one year, after that I will reassess things and see where it goes.

Sounds like a good plan. I guess a lot of this is trail since everyone’s different.

I may bump mine up to 4 and see how that works. I don’t think I would go higher just my preference though

At your age you shouldn’t need more than 2iu a day. Unless you’re going to use insulin with it more than that is a waste.
 
I don’t know. GH is a marathon. I’m not sure bumping it up one IU would really do much more over the long haul. I just always ramped up to my sweet spot and stayed there.
 
Are there any side effects for going long term? Can you daily for life?
 
Thanks everyone. It’s been 2 months and I’m noticeably leaner and I feel my skin looks a little better.

One thing I haven’t noticed is any increase in energy levels-however, it may take time.

I will coast at 3iu nightly.

Thanks!

There’s a ton of sides when going long term. Enlarged forehead and jaw. GH gut, the list goes on and on. As with everything else it’s risk vs. reward. I definitely wouldn’t stay on it Ed for life cause then you asking for trouble. I ran it all last year and have been off now 4 months or so. Would love to jump back on for another run but I doubt that’s gonna happen anytime soon. Regardless I really enjoyed the long term results that I got.

This!

Most guys who use it never test their IGF. When you get over 300 you start to have insulin resistance. That’s why a lot of pros push slin with it.

Not sure where you got that number Tommy but it might be close for the average guy. I keep mine (IGF-1) around 200-230, which is the top of the range for my age. If I go higher my fasting glucose starts to get close to 100 so I am probably at the edge of where I should be. My natural level is only about 130 at my age. the added amount makes nutrition partition better. i added in berberine and that keeps my fasted glucose in the 80s.

You are correct about age dependent dosing. As we get older our natural production declines and age 40+ it’s not uncommon to be sub 200. I used medical supervised HGH therapy for many years and my doctor kept me in the 225-250 range. Later in life I experimented with higher doses and glucose levels. At around 300 I noticed my waking glucose was well over 100. It was around that point I started using insulin and more gh. I found 5units of each lowered my glucose back to sub 100. I also noticed increased growth, like you said nutrition partitioning increases with use and the insulin allowed me to intake more carbs. I tried Berberine but never had much results.

We’re all different but the important point is to check igf as you use HGH.

Good to see that info..my last labs I was off gh..I believe it was around 100(igf1),my fasted was upper 80s..when on gh it soars above 100 (bg)..
I am about to do bloodwork soon added a gh serum test also anyways as of now I'm doing 6iu ed

GH serum is not as good of an indicator. I used it only when I’m testing for gh purity. Then I will pin 10iu intramuscular 3 hours before blood draw. If the gh is legit you should come back around 20-30ng/ml. It’s a crude test but it’s usually accurate enough.

Yes,that's why I'm doing it..
Igf1 comes standard on my panels
