This might not be enough to go beyond natural for yourself, you’d have to do igf1 tests after 6 weeks on dose to figure that out.

If your primary goal is to relieve joint pain. you may want to consider a GLP. They lower systemic inflammation independently of the weight loss effects.
what do you mean by GLP`?

The new class of incretin hormone weight loss drugs. Semaglutide, Tirzepatide (ie, Wegovy, Zepbound). Even if you don't need to lose weight, there's always a dose that doesn't impact appetite while still reducing inflammation. And it's only once a week.
They reduce systemic inflammation by improving insulin sensitivity, and moderating immune response via the brain.
"GLP-1 medications have been shown to help lower systemic inflammation, which can benefit patients with joint pain by reducing swelling and discomfort in affected areas."

You did not specify what uour "joint problems" are and GH is not necessarily the first line treatment for joint pain only. However, it (along with your peptides) may help. Everyone reacts differently so there is no way I can predict the outcome for you. Good luck!

I tend to get more joint pain when running hgh, not less.

So that's the reason. I was thinking of adding deca but I want to use it for a blast.

joint pain with hgh is different. For me it wasnt a piercing pain it was more of a dull pain and stiffness. My knees would not work no matter what protocol I would run. I had to leg press for 6 months and even at that it was a struggle.

You'll probobly find oral hyaluronic acid more helpful with joint issues than HGH.
It's the body's natural lubricant, the production of which declines with age, and 120mg/day has been proven to ease joint pain.

The joint injections are undoubtedly effective, but even oral shows it makes a real impact in the improvement of joint function, delaying further damage, and easing pain. And it's dirt cheap.

"HA is a safe raw material and the efficacy of oral HA in relieving knee pain was demonstrated in several clinical trials. HA as a dietary supplement exhibits mild efficacy and no side effects. By utilizing these characteristics, HA dietary supplements provide at least some possibility for the treatment and prevention of serious conditions in patients with OA exhibiting mild knee pain."

Interesting to read this and see others comment on this also. I've never had joint issues and I'm early thirties so not exactly old. Started GH 3-weeks ago and 3 days ago I started having a serious problem with my knee when its flexed and I had to skip legs. This wasn't triggered by training, it just happened when I stood up from my chair at one point.
Today, it's flaired again and I've done nothing leg related. Also had a weird feeling in my shoulder yesterday during lateral raises which also never happens.
Starting to think it could be this as nothing else has changed. Infact, prior to GH I was on winstrol for two weeks and had no issues.

How much water you drinking? I find drinking a gallon a day of water basically required when I’m taking hgh.

Many people here should do this regardless of hGH use. Don't skimp on hydration.

It funny that it's only in middle age that I finally realized I can *see* when I'm dehydrated because the pads on my fingertips become slightly wrinkled.
