Are you taking anything else? On cycle?
I am also taking (weekly):
500mg Test E
400mg EQ
150mg NPP

Someone will chime in but I’m pretty sure these can impact your igf score. Especially nppI am also taking (weekly):

Only running 1.4 iu per day on average... What’s wrong with 165 score?
I’ve seen it “said” that for every unit of hgh taken it should raise your scores by roughly 100.
Something like this...
1iu - 100
2iu - 200
3iu - 300
4iu - 400
By the IGF-1 results I’ve seen posted this seems fairly accurate.
Don’t take this as a rule of thumb. I read a lot and pretty sure I’ve read this somewhere. Just can’t recall where?
@slyfox115 , as @Sdryx said, you are running 1.4ius on average per day so this would also fall into range by what I wrote above.
I could be totally mistaken though lol. Anyone please feel free to correct me if this is total misinformation!!![]()
Up the dose is only assuming the hgh isn’t doing it’s job, but it is. And 2iu is more of a wellness maintenance dose, depending on your goals, on cycle I would do at least 3-4.. as a minimum. Wish I knew more why your score was lower than you expected but I definitely know you have a few things going on to hinder it. Let’s see what some of the pros say.
Yes the vials are 12ius and 1.2ml water added it will make it come out as 1iu per 10units.So awhile back didn't Opti have a post regarding dosing. I think it said if you want 1iu per 10 units you would put 1.2Ml of water into the 12iu vial. If I did this then 20 units would equal 2iu right? Am I not mathing correctly here? I think @Sdryx said he was running 1.4ius per day but I thought I was running 2ius.
Just wanted to say , I placed my first order with opti late last week and its in my hands today!
T/A. A+++
Communication: A+++
Super easy to deal with, gets back to almost immediately
Can’t wait to start these in the next couple weeks
Thanks again opti

You said you were running it 5 days on 2 days off so I assume that @Sdryx was meaning that was your daily 7 day AVERAGE. (I didn’t do the math lol)
You were doing 2ius every 5 days then off 2 days. For your total 7 day average it puts you at 1.4ius per day.
That’s how I took it anyway lol.
Make sense?
Edit; If you want higher scores on 2ius then don’t skip any days. Do that shit everyday! Lol
2nd edit; I did the math and what I was thinking above is what @Sdryx was sayin. It’s the daily average of your weekly ius.
I wanted to start by saying Opti's communication has always been spot on and in no way am I questioning the quality of anything, I am just asking for opinions.
I just received my blood work on IGF-1 and was going to ask some opinions. I don't have a baseline as to what it was normally. I have been using 2iu's post workout in the AM for about 3 months. 2 hours before the bloodwork I took 2ius then went to the lab. My results came back at 165 ng/mL.
It's not a super high dose but I was expecting higher or at least high-normal. Have any of you ran a similar dose with similar bloodwork?
It's imperative that you establish a baseline first if you want to get a more accurate comparison. I got about a 145 on 3ius on TP's meditropes. But my baseline igf was around 47. Also, keep in mind that everyone processes hgh differently. It's just like Test. Two people taking 250mg/wk may have very similar Total Test but quite different Free Test which is what counts. As you get older your SHGB increases which binds more of your Test and it becomes not as effective as someone with the same Total Test but lower SHGB and therefore has more Free Test doing the real work. If you are older, or drink a lot of alcohol or use rec drugs then your liver isn't going to work as well as someone whose organs are in better shape.
Also, 2 ius is just a replacement dose and should just put you mid-range. That would be like 150mg/wk of Test.
You make really good points. I should have taken a baseline to compare but just by the your and the other responses I got I don't feel as shocked as when I first saw my results. I will be upping the dose a bit and hopefully retest down the road.
feeling full on it already, hungry in the morning, 4 iu split...huge water retention in my ankles though, anyone else deal with that? I so how?
On average you are as you aren't taking 2iu every day. I wouldn't expect a hight score on a 5 day on 2 day off protocol, especially testing after the 2 days off. I'd run it 7 days a week if I were you.So awhile back didn't Opti have a post regarding dosing. I think it said if you want 1iu per 10 units you would put 1.2Ml of water into the 12iu vial.
