New to hGH. Any advice?

Morning or evening injection? Did you check your igf-1 levels?

Morning and Pre WO sometimes. Evening is not really worth it on 2IUs. It only replaces what you produce naturally. IGF-1 was 258 last I tested.

running 2-3 a day is a waste of time IMO unless youre really old and you just want a replacment

I don't see benefits until 4-5 units a day, six has been good for me most recently

start with 2 or 2.5per day and add a half unit per day after 1-2 weeks. Continue increasing the dose, after 1-2 weeks at each dose until you reach a dose you feel is benefical. If your hands go numb you can go back to the previous dose a few weeks and try again.

purchase enough to run that at least six months

Gh isnt some crazy magic but it does give a fullness and a look thats hard to duplicate without it. It also keeps you lean on a poor diet.

I had issues with getting crazy lethargic and having hand numbness when I split my doses.Now i just do it all before bed and have no issues

i experience hella sides at 2iu ed but the response has been great so far. might just be a placebo effect. if there's already slight numbing should i go down to 2iu eod and try to build back up?

Just placed my first order of hGH. Got the grey tops generostim HGH supreme, 97% purity, 0 dimer from Kits4Less.

I was thinking to start with 2-3 iu/day in the evening and just stick with it for a few months to see if I get anything out of it at that does. If it matters, I am currently on 140 mg/week of test and 20 mg/day of Anavar, and will add 70 mg/week of Nandrolone when my order arrives.

At the low dose of 2-3 iu/day, do I need to check fasting blood glucose to do any other blood tests? At what dose do I need to check fasting glucose? And, are there any other blood tests I should add to the stuff one typically checks when on AAS (test, estradiol, LDL, hematocrit, PSA, etc.)?

A vial a day keeps the doctor away.

2iu per day for me. There is a ton of benefits especially if you’re older just taking a replacement dosage. I’m 32 and that took me to the upper end of normal range.

Nice to hear this. I'm 43. So, I figured with just 2 iu/day, I'll be getting a decent boost.

If I was getting sides I definitely lower the dose and hold it a few weeks then try to push it back up again.

I think a lot depends on what your goal is from running GH.

I’ve also heard sides can be caused by your sodium levels/ electrolyte balance causing water retention. I can’t speak to this personally but if you get labs you could check these and see if there’s a correlation.

2iu is the max dose for replacement. OP doesn't seem like a bodybuilder from his doses.

Side effects non stop at 2iu?

"Initiation and Monitoring of GH Treatment

Unlike pediatric GH treatment, often dosed in micrograms/kilograms of body weight/day, currently recommended GH replacement dosing in adults is individualized independent of weight, taking into account the patient’s age, gender, and estrogen status (Johannsson et al., 1997a; Hoffman et al., 2004b). Initiating therapy at low doses (total dose 0.2–0.4 mg/day SC) decreases the likelihood of developing common side effects like joint stiffness, arthralgias, myalgias, paresthesias, and peripheral edema, with fluid...

The general forum recommendation of starting at 2iu or even 1iu is a bit high. Considering most of the vials are usually overdosed these days.

If you do HGH in the morning IM it will help with fat burning. If you take it just before sleep IM/subq it will increase sleep quality and hopefully you will get your own release of HGH while sleeping.
