HGH is pretty much useless if your under 35 and there are better ways to shred fat and build muscle than with HGH which also takes 5-6 months before you even notice anything from it. Not worth the money imho
I hear this all the time. It's bs.
GH has a dramatic effect on the body from the very first day of taking it. I started at 2iu.
The negative side effects are just as dramatic. This was from 2 weeks on 2iu and a further 5 weeks at 4iu. Please note that I'm concurrently using testosterone at 500 mg per week, but I was taking this BEFORE I started on GH.
1. Bad edema in the lower legs, feet and ankles.
2. A noticeable increase in FBS (fasting blood sugar).
3. I got a debilitating lower back pump almost immediately. This has subsided somewhat after 6 weeks.
4. My body feels pumped and full upon waking and all day long.
5. Increase in bodyweight of 3kg in the first week. 6 kg after the first month.
6. Increased strength in the gym all around. Joints felt stronger too (except knees and hands)
7. Increased resting heart rate.
8. Laboured breathing.
9. Very bad sleeping. Can't stay asleep for more than 2/3 hours at a time and that's on a good night. This is one of my worst side effects. It could be due to my numb fingers keeping me awake.
10. Very bad numbing of the fingers in both hands leading on to aching hands and even up to elbows when riding a motorcycle. It has started to affect my grip strength in the gym and I feel some pain in the hands when benching. Wrists are still ok. This side effect is so perplexing that I've now dropped my daily dose back to 2iu in the hope of improving it.
11. Quite a dramatic drop in abdominal fat. Caliper pinches have gone down 5 - 10 mm right across the abdomen.
12. Muscle size gain in all areas. Particularly noticeable in arms and shoulders.
13. Extreme lethargy. Feeling tired all the time but ok in the gym once warmed up. Have solved this problem with the supplementation of small doses of T4 and T3. (trying both out).
14. My knees have noticeably stiffened. I had bad knees to start with.
15. Improvement in skin quality noticeable in the first week. Shoulder and back acne (from test) improved dramatically.
16. Increased vascularity resulting from lower bodyfat.
17. Increased sweating.
18. A dramatic decrease in libido despite my test supplementation and addition of proviron.
19. Last but not least: I find it very difficult to get DOMS no matter how hard I thrash my bodyparts in the gym. If I do, it's gone in 24 hours. Obviously muscle recovery has improved dramatically.
I'm 50 years old. I have to decide if all the negative side effects are worth the benefits. I'll cruise at a lower dose for awhile and reconsider.
I cannot believe that people would even consider using this stuff at doses as high as 8iu per day. I get my GH straight from a major producer in China (2nd largest manufacturer after Gensci) legally as I live in Thailand. Perhaps the people using high doses are buying lower strength or fake product. I would suggest that anyone who needs to wait 6 months for results could be using fake product too.
It should be used in conjunction with anabolics, especially if you're adding the catabolic T3. If you don't, you're wasting your money.
