What time of the day to take HGH

[reallittleguy]

I was wondering what is the best time to take GH 2iu's. Is it better to take it all at night just before bed, or at midnight, or once in the morning and once at night.

Unless you are GH deficient, take it in all in the morning, that way it will not interfere with your natural nightime release.

It's debatable, I think night time is best because that's when the body is designed to use it. The interferance with natural release is debatable too. I read a study that said it take 6 hours for rHGH to shut down the natural HGH. I wish I still had it but it got deleted when I had computer problems.

If someone has it or something that shows different post it so we can read it.

I've always used it at night, when the body normally would use it. It will not shut your own GH production down.

.............and you have proof of that ??

you guys should all have a look at this thread, and also the links to other threads within it.

If it does, I've never had to do anything to get my own GH levels to rebound when off.
I would think that if a hormone in your body were suppressed, the only way to activate it again would be to induce some sort of hormone that would force it to activate naturally.
GH is not like test, in that when you body detects too much is shuts your normal production down. It simply adds to your existing production, which if you're over 30, likely isn't much anyway.

I didn't read them all but it's seems that what ever you do it can suppressed for 18 to 24 hours. So if you inject in the morning or day you've got a very good chance of shuting down your night time release, so the body won't have any HGH at the time it was designed to have HGH.

So for me it's still night time.

This is one of those debates that takes research and real world experiance to come up with what you feel is best for you. I'm using mine at night and like the results, this is my second go at it.

Those are all old studies done in the 70's. New studies show that a morning dose is best.

Go over to Anabolic Review, they have a board just for GH. Einstien is the Mod for that board and has all the new studies to work off of.

I am on morning only shots now, but its to early to report.

This is not to say that it is the 100% correct way, but all Pro bodybuilders that I have talked to said to take your GH at night.

Thats what my plan was, 2 hours before bedtime. Still haven't taken the plunge yet though.

Yep.....that Einstien is one smart dude.....really knows his stuff.

Did they give a time like two hours before bed time or at bed time like when your getting ready to climb in bed.

And since I will be starting out on 2 iu's I should take them all at once?

Good guy with a good attitude too.

He's a member here, I need to see if he'll post here more.

What it looks like is, do you take the older studies done on humans or the newer done on rats. Which begs the question, why no new studies on humans? Is it because the finding would be the same, which could mean no funding for new studies

Then the debate starts as to weather animal studies truely can apply to humans in all aspects. I've never used animal studies that I can recall, I have reposted the dog study on Winstrol (winny) before because someone said they had heard of it. But for the most part I have a hard time translating them to apply to us.

I know Einstien is a smart Bro, but I have to go with what I understand because it's my body and will suffer the consequence of my decision.

Duchaine was wicked smart too but wasn't always right either, so a little 'evidence' and experience here and there come together to help you make your own choices but you still make them for yourself IMO.

I'd be a night time guy if I was busting the bank with GH.

Yup---------and he suggests taking it AM and if the dose is a decent one (over 5-6 IU's), split the doses and take the second at early afternoon. DRjmw suggests the exact same. I've read so many damn controversial "theories" on this topic, it's anyone's guess at this point.
Weird thing----I sleep like a champ when taking it in the AM. I have a problem fallng asleep when taking it just before bed.

I take it all AM for that reason as well as the fact that natty levels are LOWEST in the am (simple logic but better than anything else I've read so far).

 

[JohnnyB]

With the possibility of 18-24 hour shut down, has me going for night time for the reason stated above. Now when I go to 3iu I'll do both before bed and morning or noon.

I can't see going over the 3iu range because you'll get the same type of results and sooner with LR3 IGF-1, but best of all it'll cost less Which I'm considering 1 night time dose after the results BULLFX got.

[reallittleguy]

Since your body produces .5 to 1.5 at night is 2 iu's enough. After everything i have read I think I will take it at night to start with. If getting to sleep is a problem I'll switch to AM.

By the way....What is the most IU's you can take at one time before you split it up into 2 doses,

 

[JohnnyB]

Anything over 2iu I'd split up, I use 2iu, remember those .5-1.5 is over a 24 hour period.
