HGH- HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE
i have seen this article on HGH many times on numerous boards and i imagine a good deal of you have
already as well. though i couldnt recall seeing it on our beloved AF so i thought i would post it.
not sure who the origianl author was so i cant give credit out - regardless i think its a good read and
pretty informative

Where to Inject, How, and How to Make:
You can site inject anywhere you can reach the subcutaneous layer. Pinch the flesh and pull back, then
insert the needle in the "pocket" underneath. Doesn't absorb quick enough if you inject into the adipose
tissue. Do not inject intra-muscular, though it can be done, it is not recommended. GH is a site injection, where it is shot is where it will burn the most noticeable fat. Most people do it in the stomach since that is a typical sub q shot with most of the fat being in that area. GH should be kept in a fridge; freezing will
destroy the GH. On your kit it probably says to use the kit in 18-24 hours, remember these are for AIDS
patients, not bodybuilders or athletes. Mixing the GH can either be done with sterile water or
bacteriostic water. The kit with water will be fine for 3 days in the fridge, even with the sterile water, but
you should not take this chance, rather you should use bacteriostic water and play it safe. This will keep
it fine for a couple of weeks. When mixing the GH, let the water slide down the side as to not pulverize
the GH wafer. Do not spray it directly against the wafer with any force. Before reconstitution and even
after GH is fragile!!! Also once the water is injected into the bottle gently swirl the vial to reconstitute, do
not shake or swirl violently!!!!
Conversions:
1 ml = 1 cc -/+
100 units per 1 cc
6 mg = 18iu
1 ml = 18iu
.50 ml = 9iu
.25 ml = 4.5iu
Some people choose to only do it in ccs but here is how you can do it in units on a slin dart
5.5 = 1iu, so 2iu = 11 on a slin dart
Differences Between Kits:
The main difference between kits is how many ius they make when reconstituted. For example,
Serostim re-constitutes to make 126iu, while a Saizen kit.... also made by Serono.... makes up 15iu.
Another of their kits makes 54iu. It better be way cheaper than a Serostim kit! Humatrope is fine, but
costs too much. The other main concern would be fakes; Lilly is the most often faked one. Some older
GH kits do not have holograms on them and are legit, but they are usually only less than 100 dollars
than new GH kits with holograms, and I would rather be assured of the hologram and legitimacy of the
kit. Best buy currently is Serostim 126 iu kits. These are made for people with wasting diseases like
AIDs. Many of these patients got infected because they are IV drug addicts..........they sell the Serostim
on the street for drug money.
Dose:
4 to 6 iu ed is sufficient. Most people take it 5 days on 2 days off at their designated dosage. There is
no reason or evidence why you cannot stay on for various lengths of time; there is no need to go 5 on 2
off other than cost. Considering that our natural production is only .5 to 1.5iu a day, this is still a huge
bump for the body. Research has shown that the body's natural defense systems render mega doses of
GH ineffective, anyway. GH does not cause gains in mass...it allows you to put on a great deal of lean
mass in combination with proper steroid and insulin use. The user before taking must know this. One or
two kits are not enough, you need at least 3 to make you happy, GH takes a while to make its effects,
but remember they are long lasting, what you see is what you keep. It takes 6 to 8 weeks to notice a
dramatic change in body comp using GH on an ED or 5/2 split. Lighter doses for long periods of time
are better than large doses for short cycles. Like any other drug, the more you take the more the
benefits, but likewise also more risks. 4-6 iu is a standard dose but many people take more, the most
repulsing side effects happen at or beyond 12 iu a day but like anything else it depends on your
predisposition for it.
How to Stack:
GH is best taken in conjunction with insulin, anabolic steroids, and t3. Insulin is extremely effective with
GH, as anyone here who has tried it will testify. This is because GH injections cause a down regulation
of insulin sensitivity in the body.
GH alone causes little growth of lean mass, however, when combined with insulin and steroids (and
IGF-1 if you can find it), the results can be down right remarkable...esp. in the older bodybuilder. Start
light with the humulin...5iu...and work up 1 iu a day till you get use to it. 7 to 10iu in the AM and 7 to 10
iu in the late afternoon, with split doses of GH is your best bet. When splitting GH/insulin doses, I use
mid-morning and late afternoon after lifting.... both flat times in our natural GH production. The insulin
overcomes the insulin-resistance caused by exogenous GH supplementation. If you are scared to take
insulin thought, then Gh with Test and Glucophage is good. GH is good for cutting if used alone.
Glucophage allows for improved glucose and amino acid absorption by the muscle tissue and does it
safely. This is what you want. The half-life of GH is only 2 hours so spread it out. Avoid bedtime
injections since we produce the bulk of our own GH in the first two hours of sleep. Since exogenous GH
suppresses this, you should not take it before bed. For best results, use a 17aa oral during the cycle to
stimulate the release of natural insulin growth factors. I would run the test throughout. GH/insulin/test is
the proven synergistic combination.
It is also wise to preload with testosterone before starting GH if you are going to do it. You should
preload with the amount of time it takes for that testosterone to kick in, since most of us take longer
acting esters for testosterone you should usually start taking the test 2 weeks before GH use. Likewise,
you can accommodate it to fit your needs; the key is for the test to be kicking in the same time you are
starting to run your GH. You can cycle you steroids however you want to depending on your goals, if
you are going for a more massive look than you would run insulin for most of the cycle and use high
androgens, but if you are looking for additional leanness at the end of a cycle you should stop the
androgens and run a higher dose of GH or run less androgens. T3 is also another substance that
should be used during GH cycling since GH lowers thyroid hormones. T3 should be used for shorter
periods though, because it can permanently alter the endocrine system. The magic of GH for men is the
ability to gain mass without fat or bloating when stacked properly with insulin, and steroids. GH also
makes for amazing improvements in skin...smoothes wrinkles, burns stubborn spots of adipose tissue,
gives that paper-thin contest look...and also gives one a real mood lift, a feeling of well being.
Major Difference Between GH and Steroids:
Steroids can increase the size of your muscle cells, but cannot I repeat CAN NOT increase the number
of muscle cells in your body, which to start with is governed by your genetics. However Growth
hormone CAN increase the number of muscle cells in your body, which goes beyond genetics.
Half-Life of GH:
Exogenous (injected) GH has a "half-life" of approximately 2 hours . . . a 4-hour period of activity during
which there is a suppression of naturally produced GH.
GH Naturally Produced:
We release the most of our naturally produced GH during the first two hours of deep sleep...you may
take a little time to adjust.... your body thinks you should be in bed when that big influx hits. It is good to
take a nap, thats when you grow anyway. It always helps to take naps after workouts and injections
everyday.
GH Causing Acromeglia:
Acromeglia is a disease...you either have it or you don't. Supplementing GH will not cause it. Persons
suffering from acromeglia, like Andre the Giant, lack the natural defense mechanisms of the body to
regulate the production and effects of GH secretion in he pituitary. It is well established in the medical
literature that exogenous GH will not cause the disease.... of course it would worsen the condition in
those who had it.
GH Gut: Myth or Reality?:
Some researchers claim that any gains in weight experienced by subjects using GH alone was due to
growth of internal organs and connective tissue, which could cause some problems. Most studies do
not agree with this theory and consider "GH gut" to be a myth. Some people are allergic to synthetic
test, this is something you have to find out for yourself. Some people also feel intestinal discomfort from
time to time, if so take it down to one item at a time to see what is causing you discomfort; creatine,
glutamine, protein products, orals, and dirty gear have all been known to cause this, so find the problem
early.
GH and IGF-1:
Perhaps the most relevant effect of IGF-1 is the ability of IGF-1 to increase protein synthesis by
increasing cellular mRNA formation (mRNA makes protein) as well as increasing uptake of amino
acids. This effect on protein synthesis can lead to increased lean mass. The research indicates that this
effect is dependent on GH presence as well. So IGF-1 alone does not promote such effects. Nor does
GH. It appears the combination of the two most consistently lead to increased protein synthesis.
GH and IGF-1 are negative regulators of GH release so an increase in either (from a GH injection)
reduces the secretion of GH. IGF-1 is very difficult to obtain in a useable condition.... it must be handled
very gently and have bee kept at a rather precise temperature at all times. One can stimulate IGF
57
production through the use of an oral steroid during cycle. Dbol, for example, causes a rather extensive
release of IGF during the first pass through the liver.
The leading studies in this area: (Ney, 1999, Yarasheski, 1994.... Am J. App. Phys.)
In the Yarasheski study, no increase in lean muscle mass was noticed in the subjects using GH alone,
but significant gains were found in subjects that supplemented with IGF and GH...add in the steroids
and look out! Yarasheski studied weight trained athletes, supplementing one group with GH alone, and
one group with GH and IGF. "So IGF-1 alone does not promote such effects. (Leanness and increased
lean mass) Nor does GH. It appears the combination of the two most consistently lead to increased
protein synthesis." Both seem to negatively downregulate the other over time, so as to lead to
diminishing returns. Cycling would be in order for that reason. Also supplementing both is necessary
because one or the other alone will suppress the natural production of the non-supplemented Latest
study by Yarashevski - with GH alone...8 to 12% change in lean body composition. 6% increase in
muscle mass.
