So ive read that to test bloods for gh you need to test your igf levels. Im going to use privatemd to order the test then walk in to a labcorp. Im unsure of which test i need to purchase i think its this one what do you guys think? Also this blood test is for my girlfriend who's been on gh for 3 weeks. Im also going to be getting the full female panel for me i just got off pct not to long ago. I do need some info on how to read the panels for both blood test. Also how to test the gh properly should it be injected prior the blood test and if so how long and how much of a dose? Thanks
Insulin-Like Growth Factor I (IGF-I)
Description: IGF-1, also known as somatomedin-C, is a polypeptide hormone produced by the liver and other tissues in response to growth hormone release by the pituitary gland. IGF-1 effects growth promoting activity and glucose metabolism (insulin-like activity) in most human tissues. It is carried in blood bound to a carrier protein which prolongs its half-life; therefore making serum levels more constant than growth hormone while correlating with "average" circulating levels of growth hormone. In short, IGF-1 is a surrogate marker of growth hormone levels and activity.
