GH sides ...

[Roc86]

Ok ... apologize for starting yet another GH thread. Anywho, as ive explained in previous posts a close family member of mine is set to begin GH therapy next week. Now I am aware of the common sides with GH such as;
-unregulated bone growth (hands, feet, jaw, head etc)
-the ole' GH gut

now... I am curious to this ; Does GH suppress natural GH secretion?

And can running GH ONLY for a period of 6 months to a year at reasonable dosages(2-4 iu's per day) cause disorders with the thyroid as well at the pituitary gland function.

*Lets hear it Gurus......

Unregulated bone growth is more certainly not a common side effect of gh usage.

sorry my mistake ... what i meant was the "well known" sides primarily associated with long term heavy usage. ...with regards to GH gut, bone growth etc.

It does suppress natural GH secretion but only while a active. I have not read anything that speaks of associated thyroid disorders.

I don't think that 2-4 ius for 6 mos. is anything to worry about. Most of the side effects that you are speaking about would be caused by abusing the HGH for a long period of time, like some of these Amateur and Pro BBers are doing. Most HRT companys that you can find on the web will recommend 2ius aday 5 days a week 2 0ff for 6mos. I was told that the 2days off is to insure that you body doesn't stop producing the hormone on it's own.

Where did you read that?

Id like to know also, Ive never heard such a thing!

Most people take the 2 days off due to financial reasons. I run it 7 days per week.

At a dose of say <5IU sides will be very minimal if any IMO

About 13 weeks? 5IU per day, Good for helping me stay lean. Worth the $ - Probably not

I know someone that used GH and half of his jaw grew out sideways, hard to explain but it looks really sickkk. He looks like a freak now.
I dont know much about GH because of this, I just stay away..my face is too pretty to fuck with.

All good feedback, appreciate it boys

exactly, the 2 days off is to save HGH

anytime an exogenous hormone is used , it may supress the endogenous one. That's the danger with insulin. Your body may get used to the outside source and that may alter your natural production. Usually all of this is a transient state. Pretty scary to possibly self-induce diabetes.

Once your growth plates have sealed, gh won't do much to help your bones grow.

A friend's 18yo son was only 5-5 while his parents were both near 6', so he wanted to go on gh to get taller. Docs x-rayed his hands to determine it was already too late. this was about ten years ago.
