Anyone who takes HGH and got bloodwork to confirm results?

[Notthatguy]

Still dont know if I have a bunk vial. Has anyone taken bloodwork to see their IGF increase?

Also during injections of HGH, anyone get a allergic reaction like a itchy spot and a bump? No matter where I inject, I seem to get it. I reached out source any the said it's the HGH 191 amino acid

Currently running 6 iu IGF came back at 342

I took a week off to find to normalize my igf. I got 207. So im not sure if HGH was in system or what

I once got a Quest test for growth hormone about 2 hours after pinning just to see if it was real. Never got IGF tested. Remember how short the half life is also.

2iu put me at a 2 z- score and igf1 of 287 from .1 z score and 180 igf1.

People who say 2iu is barely replacement dose are full of it. Doubt im a hyper responder and seems like average increase from the handful of labs I've seen.

What made you decide to hop on at that number? I’m currently 178, looking to possibly get on 2iu.

That really the lowest therapeutic dose.

I'm at 2.5iu now but not gonna push it till next blood work. Long term above range is not healthy and possible side effects.

If I can stay under 315 with 4iu I'll do it but doesn't look like it.

Already have some sides like water retention and some swelling around the ankles.

But it does wonders for fat. Viens are more visible and abdominal fat really melting after just 6 weeks.

I know I'm not contributing to the discussion at all, but I just have to call this out for being hilariously based. Like popping a molly and ordering a UDS for yourself to make sure it isn't fake. Absolute power move. Doctors could never understand the mind of peptidechads like us.

I would hope that anybody taking HGH should be getting regular blood work.

Also forgot to mention, if you don't have your HbA1c and fasting glucose level tested , get it before dosing HG. HG blunts insulin and your HbA1c and fasting glucose will raise. If current numbers are high, I'd avoid HG until you can address them first.

Sorry I wasn’t clear. What made you decide to start at 188? I definitely am interested in optimizing my hormones, but I didn’t think my 178 seemed low enough to warrant taking it or not.

I want to run at the higher end of the range to get the benefits. As you age your GH declines. Bring it back to optimal level or like when I was 21 ...

I was taking 1-2iu a day. I was getting

254 ng/ml. I never went over 2iu as 254 was pretty decent.

 

[Habibibi]

Using iu to dose is useless, igf1 z-score is the only thing that matters. Some people get a a z-score of +1 on 8iu, some get to +2 only on 3iu.

Thanks. Same here. My bloodwork this week has IGF on it, if it comes back sub 200 I think I’m going to get on 2ius and evaluate.

I did this when I suspected a bunk vial. The serum test is MUCH cheaper than getting a vial tested. Got my serum level fasted, took "6IU," got re-tested a couple of hours later. Zero increase, so that's when I sent a vial out for testing. Turns out my "H36" was actually H10 and my "6IU" was actually <2IU. Still fighting with the supplier to make it right.

I had this reaction from one vial out of the 15 or so I've used, it's pretty well documented. There's nothing more than speculation about why but it seems to be down to the individual vial, not the batch.

The veins are crazy for me, a few on my legs that never popped before.
