I have been doing 1.5-2 Iu a day (five days a week) of somatropin. Been on for about 3 months. Had blood work done about 3 weeks ago and the Dr sais the HGH Ive been taking is basically worthless. My Igf-I # was 167 and he sais he believes that in the shape I look to be in that i was probably at that # to begin with and I should be over 200 if the hgh source was good. By the way Im 52 years old. In any case he has given me a prescription for test. and an assortment of other stuff to stem the side effects of the test. My test lvl was 678 and my free test lvl was 6.5. I am doing the hgh in hopes that it would help my eyes,skin tighten,and get my brain working better(im dam near brain dead as I cant remember what i had for dinner 2 nights ago). Thus far ive felt absolutly nothing from the hgh although i have been dreaming crazy vivid dreams. I guess the question im getting to is: Looking at the blood work #"s does it look like the hgh was indeed fake /weak. And secondly will the test do anything for brain function? Im really not looking to get bigger/faster etc. I havnt fiiled the prescription yet thought i would ask for alittle guidance here first.
