HGH & acromegaly

[floridalife]

Anyone have any factual info on or around what quantity of hgh causes these conditions of acromegaly ? Thanks!

You'll be hard pressed to find any studies, but most agree that 10+ iu daily for long periods of time will start to show acromegalic side effects, not the least of which is severe organomegaly

so anything 5 and below should be pretty safe and there's been no accusations or comments of anything like that?

Andre the giant was only taking 2iu a day and he looked allright

5 iu ED will give you sides like hand numbness but acromegalic side effects should not be an issue at that dose.

I read this post by a someone who was 24 at the time:

hello ya'll,

ever since i've taken HGH 4IU/day for 9weeks, i've noticed my skull deforming. There is a little bump on my forehead that was never there before. also my elbow joints are definitely longer. Is it possible that HGH can cause skull deformities or is it all in my head. i'm not sure if i want to do another cycle anymore."

Any comments on this? The guy ended up stopping his GH use. I am 23 and about to start HGH, while I know the chances are slim to nil of getting acromegaly without having a genetic predisposition to it, it has apparently happened.

I have been around a LONG time. I have worked with athletes in every sport you can imagine.
The condition you speak of is rather rare and mostly only seen in massive dosages for
exteneded periods of time. I have seen it but it was from 'abuse' situations and not
proper use.

Thank you for the reply Alin,

In your opinion how (un)likely is this condition to occur in a 23 year old using HGH at 5 or less I.U's for 6 months to a year? I am almost ready to start it up and I thought that acromegaly was almost a non issue, but I did get a little spooked after I read an actual report of it happening in someone around my age. What dose and duration would constitute abuse? I haven't started it yet so I don't know how much I'll need to take for a good effect, but I was planning on slowly dosing up to 4 I.U's over the course of a month and staying around 4 I.U's for a year. I have also read reports of younger individuals requiring higher doses to achieve good results, will 4 I.U's be a good dose? I am primarily using it for fat loss while bulking.

Thanks!
