Thread 'Guide: How to Establish your Base-Line IGF-I (Serum) in Order to Determine Dose/Response (ΔIGF-I) to Agents that Increase IGF-I (e.g., rhGH)'

Establishing a Base-Line Serum IGF-I Value
Author: Type-IIx

Intent: (1) To help users establish a base-line serum IGF-I value In order to form a meaningful basis for comparison of serum IGF-I changes to base-line. (2) To help prospective clients (i.e., Comprehensive Coaching [training + nutrition + PEDs + supplements], or Individualized Protocols [PEDs + supplements]) have this data ready even before intake, so that we can get straight to the work of determining their drug response and forego superfluous periods of management of wash-out from agents that affect IGF-I levels...

Thanks. Much longer than I'd hoped! Been on around 20 months so may have to forget that idea.

291 - on test/EQ, cutting on sub 100g carbs... just started 5iu yesterday

 

[Bumpygooch]

Was 167 when I was 48, 3+ years ago

114 ng/mL IGF-1 at age 44 while my E2 was 81 pg/mL. Maybe insulin is too low on my low-carb animal-based diet? Seems like I need some GH in my life.

Are you a keto/carnivore guy?

Seems like I need some GH in my life.

Cuz also could use some carbs if not.

Are you a keto/carnivore guy?

Yes I am, and need to remain that way for my digestive health and overall well-being. I can't handle much more than 50-60 g carbs (from fruit) before things go off the rails.

I've experimented a little with GH but am recommitting to it after letting the implications of that 114 sink in.

260 on TRT only, age 55. Average 450 on 2.4iu GH

139 on trt 150mg a week. Since then added 4ius of hgh daily for the past month. Just retested and waiting for results

i'm currently waiting on igf test , but my dr forgot to add the "z score " , does that make or break the igf test?

You can figure out the Z-score yourself, once you have your IGF-1 result. It's a simple calculation based on your age and gender:

Endocrinology Calculator | Specialty Testing | Laboratory Corporation of America

The IGF1 Z-Score Calculator can be used to calculate a patient’s standard deviation score based on IGF-1 patient results provided.

After 12 years of HGH use i came off and was tested a month later. With a range of 41-279 mine was 111.
Without a range being posted that actual level really doesn't mean much since different labs and machines will come up with a different value that is only applicable to their own range.

how long did you stay off it? Are you still off the hgh?

 

[Sampei]

why did you came off? so you stayed 12 years straight non stop on HGH?

Yea still off. Only been about 6 moths or so. Probably get another test here soon then decide what to do.

I was doing HRT after using it to heal from a couple surgeries and ran out so i decided to see where i was at naturally. Just below the middle seems pretty good all in all.

It’s been a couple of months now admittedly and I am very much due for bloodwork both on and off cycle, but it was 271 ng/ml per my last test. I’m 33

 

[last_travel1987]

This was on my last set of labs. Its always been around 250-280.

So at 83 am I the lowest one on the forum?

Hey I maybe that means you’ll live the longest.

Maybe it's time to start GH.

Who wants to live a long time with an 83?

Love you @malfeasance
