HGH Titration

[JG1]

I'm a 49yo male, running Test and a few other peptides. Will finally be starting on HGH within a week or so. Would like to work up to 5iu pre-bed, every day.

Looks like I should start at 2iu and work my way up. How fast should I titrate the dose? Weekly?

Ime, i would 0.5iu every other week should be fine.
Probably get by with 0.5iu /week but 2weeks would reduce chance of sides

Do you agree with starting at 2iu?

I started at 2iu subq at night and had almost overnight 2 lbs of water retention and had carpal tunnel symptoms. Kept me up at night and felt tired most of the day.

In hindsight, Reta may have also contributed to the symptoms, but who knows.

I think I’m dialed in now, but it wouldn’t have hurt to start lower, maybe 1iu or as previously stated .5.

That is obviously low for a replacement dose since if you take it at night, you won’t get the natural GH spike, but you should be able to titrate up by .5 each week and hold if you have negative sides.

2iu is a good place to start imo. I bumped to 3iu after a couple weeks then bumped up 1iu each month until getting to 7iu.

Carpal tunnel got unbearable at 7iu and was affecting my sleep so bumped back down to 6iu and it's bearable so I'll stay here for a while.
