HGH Timing

[Tinytim411]

Been taking 4 IU HGH for about 4 weeks. Haven’t noticed much but I know that’s expected for HGH. Wondering when the best timing for my HGH would be because of my schedule. I wake up at around 7 am and eat a meal, then go to work until 6 pm. Then I get home and eat another meal around 7 pm, workout around 8:30-10 get home from gym, shower, and eat and then go to bed at 11 to get 8 hours of sleep. So basically there isn’t a window where I haven’t eaten or won’t eat for 2 hours. I’m mainly taking HGH for the muscle gain, sleep, and skin and hair quality benefits. Don’t care much for the fat lipolysis/loss benefits. Ive just been pinning directly after I finished my last meal. Is there a more optimal time?

Just inject your entire dose pre-bed. Thats the most optimal time because your IGFBP-3 is highest during your sleep at night. Matching your dosing to this makes your GH more effective.

That’s what I figured but just want to make sure I was getting the most of it. Again don’t care about fat loss but everything else. Was thinking another option could be when I got home from working out and before the meal.

It doesn't matter. Some people it helps with sleep (take it PM), some it doesn't (take it AM). "Just get it in" is the general rule. Everything else is just bro science.

Yeah I’m just worried that pinning directly after my last meal which has carbs in it is blunting the effect of the HGH because insulin rises after a meal. My BG is all good though

Nah, the only thing carbs blunt is the lipolysis effect which you said you don't really care about. You will still get the same IGF-1 signaling to the liver.

Okay sorry to beat a dead horse but HGH ain’t the cheapest so I don’t want to waste but, I will be getting the same muscle gain, sleep benefits, and skin/hair/connective tissue benefits?

Yes. Timing does not matter (aside from the sleep - take it PM if you want sleep benefits). Dose, frequency and exposure duration matter. All the things you mentioned are downstream effects of IGF-1.

I also take 4IUs a day and I spend less than $100 a month

Oh yeah I’m paying like $55 a month right now for 4 IUs daily but on top of bloodwork, PEDs, food, ancillaries, ect. it all adds up.

Sure but you have those same costs without HGH if you're taking any anabolics. The point is that HGH is fairly cheap.

Right right still tryna make sure I’m not missing out on benefits from it that I could be getting but I feel ya
