GH Question

[bobi]

I have a prescription for GH, the reccomended dosage by the pharmacy is 2 IU's per day for 6 months. I have been taking 2 IU's per day 5 on 2 off for about 7 weeks with limited results.

I bought the 6 month supply up front, and cannot afford any more. I am 48 years old and have a lot of trouble sleeping at night. I had hoped this would help, and give me more energy as well.

Everything I read here reccomends a minimum of 4 IU's per day. My question is should I continue at 2/day for 17 more weeks, or do 4/day for 8 weeks.

What are you trying to accomplish? 2IU seems to be a recommended maintenance dose but depending on what your goals are you may want to try a bit more.

I assume from your post you are using GH only??
I personally did not really notice the effect of GH until I moved the dosage up to 4iu+. The last cycle I used in a dosage of 6iu, and never felt better!!! I am in late 30's.
As Zyg said you may want to increase the dosage. The problem is if you do and reduce the amount of time on the GH to 2 months, you will probably not realize the full benefits of GH. GH appears to work best in long cycles. Usually 3 months or more..

Please note the info I am providing you is only from a standpoint of bodybuilding. I am not clear what purpose you are using GH for?? If it is simply quality of life then the above would not stand...

Thanks for the responses. My goals are 2 fold. Quality of life, and I would also like to put on some quality muscle. I am also using testostorone cream from the same pharmacy.

I have been taking 2 IU's per day for 7 weeks, and if I bump it up to 4, I will total 15 weeks.

Has it at least helped your sleeping?

No help with the sleeping, so its hard to judge the energy levels when I'm tired a lot. I have a 2 and 5 year old at home, so at 48 some extra energy would be nice. I get up at 5AM to work out, so I am beat when I get home from work.

Thats why I was considering upping the dose, but I don't want to be impatient, if I am better off to stick with 2 IU's per day and go the whole 6 months

Well Bobi i am in the same position as you are

meaning, not every dollar can be used for GH in life. One has to set priorities.

If i where you i would go for the 2 iu/day but 7/7.
So your arsenal will last not the full 6 months, but you will be happy that you can continue for a longer time then when upping the dose to 4 iu/day. Don't do this because you will be sorry when everything is consumed. Also it takes at least 3 months to see any result, certainly when using only 2 iu. I am on 1 iu/day right now (i know, it's ridiculous), but i prefer this over a period of non use. My goal and i think yours also is to use it for life. So moderate use is in order unless money is no problem.
So, give it some more time before using more and regretting this after.

Jeff

This is probobly what you should do. You should see results on 4iu for 15 weeks..

a buddy of mine who has extensive experience with GH said to always run it with some winstrol. The igf1 release from the winstrol works synergistically with the GH. I have seen the results he has gotten from this combo (done with no other drugs), and really think he must be doing something right.
