I've been using this for at least 12 months, experimenting with various doses and schedules. My lowest dose was 2 IU, and I’m currently at 10 IU. I’ve found that taking a bolus dose before bed minimizes any noticeable side effects.
My current coach has me taking 4 IU IM immediately after training and then another 6 IU before bed. So far, I haven’t noticed any changes in side effects with this approach.
To be completely honest, the only side effects I've experienced have been tingling and numbness in my hands and feet, which feel bloated—as if I’ve just indulged in an all-you-can-eat buffet for a week, with all those calories and sodium lingering in my extremities.
On the positive side, I've noticed improvements in my skin, better sleep, enhanced recovery, and I’ve managed to maintain my weight and physique even after indulging during the holidays.
I'm a big fan of this; it’s one of the few things that works well for me. Conversely, I have friends and a training partner who struggle to tolerate more than 2 IU.
