When to test igf-1 after dosing

[boxer15]

So I'm on HGH, I take 4iu before bed. I had a baseline igf-1 taken in the morning months ago and would like to get another to see the effect of 4IU. Would I take my GH at night like normal and do the test in the morning? Or do I inject the GH 2 hours before my blood test?

People will say to wait at least 6 weeks in to taking GH and then IGF-1 should be pretty stable. Safe to continue dosing protocol, although I'd take notes so you can compare to future testing.

So at the 6 week point igf-1 is stable enough to take blood test at any time of the day?

Yep. That's my understanding.

I'd still make a note and try to do it around the same time next time for easier comparison.

Seems a bit low honestly. Whose GH?

hgh distribution company ltd they are a china lab that tested good using jano testing no dimer 4 mg at 12 iu

maybe its because i was only taking 3 ius split daily am/pm

Maybe, but I'd think your IGF levels would be saturated if you've been running it 6+ weeks.

The only thing the timing of the GH before the test is really used for is GH Serum levels to my understanding.

There could be a lot of variables/factors influencing it, I just thought you'd be near the upper end of the IGF range

i was deflated when i opened my test results i guess ima bump up to 4 ius daily split in am/pm doses

Hoping that helps fix it for you. That's why I was curious who you got it from. Was praying you weren't going to say k4L

Igf1 results can vary a lot. I would do a growth hormone serum test that’s where you take a full 10iu 2-3 hours before the blood draw and you will get a better idea of the quality of gh
