Hey guys I want to post up my personal experience with various brands of Hgh over the past several years. We've all seen testing on these brands and know they are all great quality and there's no bad choice with them. This is more about what I've encountered in terms of cts (hand pain, numbness etc).
With that said, this is just what I personally encountered, everyone is different. But through my research it was always hard for me to find what others have experienced.
I will be commenting on what I experienced with these brands during a full blown off season where my body weight is generally around 240lbs-250lbs and probably 13% or so body fat. Very high carb, water and sodium intake. These factors are constants. Being a competitor I really don't want to be throwing in diuretics or pulling back carbs or sodium or that sort of thing.
Ultimately I tried to start with 1iu and slowly work my way up to the goal of 4iu. Some I started at 2iu and then ended up taking a few weeks off and retrying because of encountering cts
I'll rate the cts as follows:
Scale of 1-10
1 being zero cts and 10 being unbearable
TP/Meditrope
Mauve tops: 10/10 cts
these were pretty much unusable. Even at 2iu the cts was pretty rough. Tried to push it up but it messed up sleep so bad. I remember waking up with so much hand/arm pain that I had to spend the rest of the night sitting up in a chair. The numbness would last hours on the morning. Trying to pee in the middle of the night I felt retarded trying to aim lol.
Black tops: 7/10 cts
These were definitely better than the mauves. Still pretty rough though. I couldn't handle the cts at 4iu for very long but 2iu was OK. 3iu was doable to some degree if I laid the right way at night and didn't move. But if I laid the wrong way or tried to look at my phone in bed they'd start hurting quickly. Same issue as mauves though with hands being numb for a while in the morning. Like trying to cut up chicken, holding the knife was a challenge.

Grey tops: 4/10cts
These were massively better than the meditrope line for me. Initially I started too high because I went straight from serostim to these. So I took several weeks off and started again slowly working my way up. I was able to do 3iu with pretty minimal cts. 4iu was OK, had a couple times it woke me up but these were definitely much better
Goodlyfe
Grey tops: 2/10
These are the closest I've found to pharma. 4iu is totally good to go with these. There's a small amount of cts, but doesn't wake me up at night, no issues throughout the day, I can lay in whatever position at night and I'm good.
Serostim:
Verified straight from pharmacy: 1/10
Love serostim, just expensive. Had no issues at all with 4iu. Briefly ran 6iu and had a little cts but there was no way I could sustain the cost. That was only about 7-10 days. If money wasn't a concern I'd totally stick to serostim and probably do 6iu.
So a few notes
-Every brand was reconstituted to what testing showed they contained. So 4iu was truly 4iu.
-Again this is purely to give my personal experiences in an organized way. ALL the gh listed here has been proven to be high quality and purity. So I'm not saying any brand is better than another. I am just saying what I experienced for cts because that has been super frustrating for me over the years.
Hopefully this is helpful for some people. I've been around here long enough that you guys can look back at my posts and see I've asked dozens of questions with cts.
