Low IGF - Can tirz cause this?

[cargin]

I just got my bloodwork done and my IGF-1 is 113. For reference I am 21M so the number seemed a little low to me. I've been on Tirz for a month and have been reading that a caloric deficit can lower IGF. Is that possible in this scenario and my GH is probably normal or am I just borderline deficient? I want some reference on whether it's worth starting Tesa/Ipa

I don’t have an answer for you just an anecdote.

My IGF1 was in the mid 100 while on 16iu of lab tested GH. Zero AAS. I was on 15mg of tirzepatide and a low carb diet + calorie deficit. Fasting insulin less than 3.

Your GH could be totally normal. IGF1 can depend on other factors.

Another anecdotal response. Pre TRT+ and months of using Tirz, then stacking Reta, then dropping to Reta only my IGF was around 150. Added Test C alongside Reta IGF still around 150. And pre TRT I was definitely at a caloric deficit dropping 45 pounds in 4 months.

This right here.

I had mine tested while in a caloric deficit, on Sema, TRT and I'm in my late 50s and it was 238. The reason I had it tested was because I am going to try 3iu of HGH and see what it changes it to.
