Can you post this on Meso once you update the pricing? This is really helpful. There is a labs thread over there.
 
Going to get blood work to look into TRT therapy. Im 43 and don't have insurance . I was hoping to get the test and buy TRT on gray. Ive been looking and haven't seen any. Am I wasting my time or just doing a poor job on diggin in this forum? Thanks in advance!!

A GLP forum isn’t the best place to source test. Join MesoRX, introduce yourself, gain access to the sources section, then find what you need.
 
With Biden's prostate cancer in the news, it's a reminder that one in eight men eventually get prostate cancer. So if you are a male and happen to be on HGH (or even other peptides like Ipamorelin), a reminder to monitor your IGF levels (even though correlation is not causation):


"These findings support the role of IGF-I in the development of prostate cancer, including for aggressive disease."

"Keep IGF-I and IGFBP-3 mid-normal range for the patient’s age and gender"

"Should serum IGF-I levels be proven to play a causal role in the pathogenesis of CaP, interpreting the risk associated with therapies such as GH must take into account both the duration of exposure and the risk magnitude associated with the degree of serum IGF-I elevation. Since GH-deficient patients often have a subnormal IGF-I serum level, which normalizes on therapy, their CaP risk on GH therapy probably does not increase substantially above that of the normal population. Until further research in the area dictates otherwise, ongoing surveillance and routine monitoring of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels in GH recipients must become standard of care."

Similarly, for breast cancer:


"Functional antagonism of hGH mediated-signal transduction either alone or as an adjuvant therapy, is a promising approach for both the prevention and treatment of human mammary carcinoma."

More generally:


"Inhibition of the GH/IGF1 axis has been highlighted as a key strategy to improve human healthspan by reducing the incidence of chronic age-related diseases such as cancer and diabetes."

Very good and timely post for all to see. I just drew my first labs this morning since starting TRT and tesa/ipa a few months ago. Eager to see results. Hopefully all good. I do have 2 prior men's advanced comprehensive health span panels from Fitomics for baseline numbers. Will post new findings when available.

The community in general mostly doesn't consider the long term risks of the GH secretaogues.

This community doesn't consider cancer risks particularly well in general. Everybody and their mother is on GLOW yet BPC-157 and TB-500 are both risky due to angiogenesis being a great way to increase tumor growth rate and TB4 (and thus likely TB-500) also having specific metastisization risks.


I don't know that it would make much sense to take HGH or GH secretagogues if you're not willing to take on the increased risk from higher IGF-1, levels, though. The benefits we see from them are fairly specifically linked to having higher IGF-1.

I assume a small (or very small) subset of grey users take them for being below the median:


Low IGF-1 levels are associated with cardiovascular disease, while high IGF-1 levels are associated with cancer. Mid-range IGF-1 levels are associated with the lowest mortality.

Vitamin D increases circulating IGF1 in adults. As a result, a better vitamin D status may ease the achievement of normal IGF1 values in GHD.

For a 45-year-old male, the mean IGF-1 level is likely to fall somewhere within the approximate range of 65 to 275 ng/mL, though the central tendency (mean or median) appears to be in the 140-170 ng/mL range based on the Serbian study's median.

For a 45-year-old female, the mean IGF-1 level is likely to be within the approximate range of 60 to 275 ng/mL. Similar to males, the central tendency (mean or median) appears to be in the 130-160 ng/mL range based on the Serbian study's median and the overlapping ranges from other sources.
Levels of IGF-1 that are higher or lower than normal may also be caused by:
  • Hypothyroidism, or low thyroid hormone levels.
  • Liver disease.
  • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
