Seeking your opinions before I pull the trigger on HGH

[Tabletalk]

Hi Everyone,

I'm preparing to pull the trigger on hgh, I'm seeking opinions and advice before placing an order.

I’m 36. I’ve been on TRT at 100mg/week for about 3 years, and I’ve been curious about GH mainly for the for better sleep, more energy, improved mental clarity, and preserving muscle while continuing to lose fat.

For context: over the past few years I went from 350 lbs down to 250 on without medical assistance and two months ago I started Reta and I’m currently at 230. I work out daily, but I still deal with low energy and poor sleep. My Whoop lists my metabolic age at 40.

I haven’t checked my IGF-1 levels yet, but I plan to.

I want something that has less potential side effects than AAS, but more bang for my buck than something like Ipamorelin and CJC

Yeah, I’m interested in hearing what others have to say based on their experiences too.

One question though. If you’re doing bloodwork regularly for your TRT protocol, shouldn’t your IGF-1 level already be included in those labs?

Je Igf1 waarde begint pas echt te kelderen na je 40 ste. 2 iu HGH per dag leuk maar je zult alleen merken dat je nagels sneller groeien en je haar. 4iu per dag doet meer. Savonds zetten voor je gaat slapen. Igf1 1 wordt het meeste toegevoegd als je eerste diepe slaap hebt. 2iu is een vrouwendosering. En al die spookverhalen over orgaangroei en wat niet niet meer dan zit je echt boven 10 IU per dag met insuline erbij. Wel als je Kanker niet aan te raden heeft gehad. Maar als je gezond leeft en sport of actief beweegt. in samenwerking met testosteron doet het helemaal mooie dingen vooral na 3 maanden dagelijks gebruik. Ik zit nu op 6 maanden gebruik en zie me lichaam week op week veranderen. Bij overige vragen?? Laat maar weten.✌️✌️

I don't think so, but I'll check

Your IGF-1 level really starts to plummet after 40. 2 IU of HGH per day is nice, but you'll only notice your nails and hair grow faster. 4 IU per day does more. Apply it in the evening before going to bed. IGF-1 is most commonly added after your first deep sleep. 2 IU is a women's dosage. And all those horror stories about organ growth and whatnot, then you're really above 10 IU per day with insulin. It's not recommended if you've had cancer. But if you live a healthy lifestyle and exercise or are active, in combination with testosterone, it does fantastic things, especially after 3 months of daily use. I've now been using it for 6 months and see my body changing week after week. Any other questions? Let me know. ✌️✌️

Thanks for your reply. When did you first notice benefits, whether physical or mental. what psychological benefits did you notice? Anything you wish you new 3 months ago?

Bedankt voor je reactie. Wanneer merkte je voor het eerst voordelen, zowel fysiek als mentaal? Welke psychologische voordelen merkte je? Had je iets anders willen hebben, drie maanden geleden?

Nee HGH is echt beter dan welk groeihormoon secretagoog dan ook.
Staat op eenzame hoogte .👌 Maar dit komt pas na enkele maanden gebruik. Betere slaap vooral diepe slaap van gemiddeld een uur naar 2 uur 45 min.
Je huid wordt beter. Je lichaam blijft echt super lean. Ook al ga je een keer goed uit eten. En wellbeing is ook prima ✌️.

My TRT blood work doesn’t include IGF-1, but I’m planning to add it. I’m also looking into adding HGH and weighing the pros and cons compared to a Tesa/IPA approach. I’m not as worried about the cancer growth risks, but I am concerned about carpal tunnel, water retention, and joint pain. I’m guessing most of these side effects wouldn’t be an issue at a lower 3–4 IU dose of HGH, but there’s still the added headache of dialing in the right dosage. From what I’ve seen, Tesamorelin 2 mg at bedtime plus Ipamorelin 250 mcg three times daily is considered roughly equivalent to about 3.5–4 IU of HGH, but who really knows. At that point, it might even be easier and cheaper to just go with HGH.

This is heavy on OPINION because you asked. Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful… or because I’m ugly but open. In my opinion it is better to begin with stuff that works by optimizing your bodies own systems, before simply replacing their function. Lifestyle interventions, otc supplements, endogenous stimulators, exogenous replacement therapy.

Look at the results and data on Tesamorelin. I think the data shows it to be one of the more effective secretagogues. Plus it has human trial data to the point of approval and use already. For me that’s an important safety guardrail.

No judgement or criticism, but did you try any lifestyle interventions, supplements or SERMs class drugs before jumping to straight T replacement? If so I applaud you. It’s not the fastest path, but in my opinion the best path.

Bang for buck, straight replacement cannot be beat. But there is cost beyond price to think about. Just remember opinions are like noses, most of us have them and they all smell.
