Seniors and IGF-1

[Zydeceltico]

So.....I just had to ask chatGPT this question: Is there any benefit in a 62 year old man raising his IGF-1 from 108 to 200?

chatGPT responded with: Short answer: if you don’t have true adult growth-hormone deficiency (AGHD), there’s no good evidence that pushing IGF-1 from ~108 to ~200 ng/mL will improve clinical outcomes for a 62-year-old—and there are meaningful downsides.

I'm putting this out there for feedback and I am thinking specifically about how many of us use the GH secretagogues (Ipa, Tesa, Semo, CJC, etc) as well as those researching HGH and others and saying to myself "hmmmmmmmmm?"

Thoughts?

Don't take this as 100% fact (please Google study) there was one that stated something to the effect of sustained high igf usually resulted in shorter life spans. It decreases naturally as we age for a reason.

Again, double check and I'm not saying doing some hgh blasts here and there are bad. Just do your research and be safe.

It may or may not not be an easy task with secretagogues at 62. I ran two strict rounds of CJC/IPA and my score made it to a whopping 79. I'm healthy, blood work is good, workout hard, diet on point and in good shape at 64. Everyone is different. I'm happy what I have, at that IGF-1 number. Could I do better? I don't know.

What I wouldn't want to do is enlarge my prostate or screw with my PSA numbers. Don't if that's likely but it's something to think about.

That being said, just about all the people I ran this by have said the secretagogues are a waste of time and money at my age and just go with HGH.
