New to hGH. Any advice?

[deeoeraclea]

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.)?

Of course more testing is good but I wouldn't expect fasting glucose to change much on 2 IU/d (basically a replacement dose).

If you decide to start ramping up, that's a different story.

It's impossible to say what dose FBG will increase bc there are many factors and we're all different, BUT I'd start monitoring it more frequently. If you see it start creeping up, there's your answer.

At which point you can maintain or lower the dose, or if you like the results you're getting, take steps to help manage it like more cardio or look into some anti-hyperglycemics like an SGLT2i or berberine.

GLP-1s and/or MOTS-C is good for combating insulin resistance as well.

Cool. I'm already on empagliflozin (10 mg/day) and a very VERY low dose of retatrutide (1 mg/week). I also have a baseline fasting blood glucose. So, I'll know if it changes.

Just run 3iu don't overthink it. If a1c rises , reduce carbs add fasted cardio

Jesus. Your running the kitchen sink already. To each his own

I had to work up to 2ius very slowly.

Your experience may be different

Why did you have to work up slowly? What happened if you increased the dose too quickly?

You want to assess your tolerance at a low dose. 1 IU to start should be fine for most. Do that for a week and see if you get any side effects. Bloating will cause carpal tunnel which leads to numbness and tingling in the fingers/hands. I am currently taking a break because 4 IUs was causing me extreme pain and waking me up every night. 3.5 IUs seems to be my sweet spot. You have to find your own.

I would not expect much of anything from that dose

Everyone is different...at 2 I had no sides, at 3 I started getting some, at 4 they got worse but dissipated after a month. Ramping up slow is a solid strategy imo.

I meant benefits

Well, I have zero experience with hGH. So, just talking out of my ass here. But, I suspect that the older you are, the lower the dose you need to see a benefit, simply because older guys have less natural hGH production. I'm 43. So, I suspect supplementing with even 2 iu/day would represent an increase for me, similar to how a measly 100 mg/week of test results in a benefit. But, TBD once I start taking it.

I'm 46 on 2IUs ED since January. It takes a few months to notice anything but my skin looks better and I stay pretty lean without dieting much. You will recomp nicely if you have a decent diet and some cardio.

Not really worth it imo, I’d save it till you can run more. But of course, end of the day it’s your call bro. Can always titrate up.

You don’t have to do anything you listed. You can if you want though.

Better split to not increase insulin sensitivity too much

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