To many HGH contradictions

[ColSanders]

I have been researching HGH lately and I am more confused now than when I started. First of all what are the benefits of Injecting HGH Sub Q vs IM? Any thoughts on this? I would appreciate it. I have many other questions but am happy to start with this one.

I dont know a whole lot about hgh but I would venture a guess (based on a pharmacological background) that there would be no significant difference in the two except absorption rates

What precisely would you like to know, related to HGH therapy ? Not the resident expert, but have personally used it. Pharmacy grade , US manufactured stuff.

I have never heard of any doctor recommending IM HGH injecting, some people do inject in spotty areas (back of arms, thighs) I was told lower abdomen, and thigh.

The general rule is for **normal** use, to treat a deficiency 1 iu per 100 lbs of body weight. Ratchet up the dose for desired results. On Tevtropin I have used that dosing schedule and although not drastic have lost about 11 lbs of bodyfat in 10 weeks with regular exercise. I sleep a bit better too.
I need to add, Its pricey as all hell. Weigh this out carefully, the price can get very high very fast when you add in the bacteriostatic water and needles.

Thanks Kennedy that was very helpful... I have not seen the 1IU per 100lbs of body weight. That helps tons

i agree that GH can be pricey, but Bac water and needles are like $50 for a years worth. lol

i wouldn't be concerned with how to take it as much as why you are looking to take it. That will dictate your dosing, etc. Alot of guys like IM injects. There are even IV injection studies out there that indicate good results (although i wouldn't try them. )

Best thing to know about GH is it should be used as a long term investment. The guy above may have lost that much BF in 10 weeks, but those aren't normal results unless your in a calorie restricted environment. Not in that time frame anyway.

GH is awesome, but its not a short term thing.

Agree with this. I personally do 3 i.u. per day in the morning when I wake up. I pin subq about a half inch from the side of my belly button - works for me. It's definitely something you need to do long term.

thanks guys for all the input! I was planing on pinning 2.5 IU's for 5-6 months. Im not looking for massive gains (not that, that would be a bad thing) Im looking more for the over all well being. Im creeping up on 40 and I have been cleaning up my diet and hittin the gym again like 3-4 times a week. I have taken gear before in the past but is has been like 15 years ago. In the past I wanted to be the biggest guy in the gym, but now I'm just looking for more energy, better health, and lean strong muscle. I am ready for a lifestyle change and I am so glad I found this site! Great Info. and great interaction! Thanks for all the help guys!

I'm new to growth myself.

I took some gear back in the 90's myself, but have been clean since late 1998/early 1999. I started taking growth at 2-2.5ius/day for the last month without any other gear.

I've been using it around the gut mostly, but since I have shoulder problems, I tried taking a couple of IM shots in the delt. I don't know what to think. The shots made my shoulder really stiff and sore for a couple days.

I wanted to take it first thing in the morning, but I've gone to taking it before bed. Between that and the chamomile I've been taking, I seem to be sleeping better (lifelong insomniac).

To be honest, I don't really want to get back on roids. But I would like to get some of the reputed benefits from growth. Is there any kind of natural supplements that I can take with the growth that would nicely augment the growth usage? Like maybe ZMA or yohimbe or something?

Thanks. Good thread...very pertinent to my own concerns.
