    On a side note is it true that in the beginning a user can experience joint pain & water retention. How common is that?
    Pretty common from what I hear personaly. I, on the other hand, dont have those problems. I might if I run more, but I have the dose I need to accomplish what I want, which is health reasons, not super muscularity.

    Anything to report yet, hermana?

    Those generics suck b/c you have no idea how much of the peptide you're getting. Your 4IU's a day could be a massive .65mg of GH for all you know. If it's Serostim though you know it's 1.2mg or Jintropin it's 1.48 to every reconstituted 4IU's .

    I've been on pharmaceutical HGH since May 10 at 1iu Mon-Fri. Mine is mixed with b-12 since I'm always so tired. So far I feel no different but can't wait to see if I feel anything at the 3 month mark.

    This stuff is so expensive, I just hope to experience the positive effects of this. I'm still dragging and don't have the overall well being feeling yet lol

    For the money very over rated and to me not worth it and i am 46 and would have liked the anti aging plus all the other benefits and didn't notice anything
    course i couldn't afford to run it for a year so maybe would have by then but not worth putting out so much $ to find out

    I dunno if you can just sit there and expect dramatic "results" - its just better supporting your body's natural functions. If you had to compare pharma grade to e.g. the generics, you're probably getting "100%" or near, vs say "70%" in terms of dosing. But if you're not running anythign else w/ it, its just going to be a very subtle "effect" and its over time.

    I was shocked how expensive it is, but I'm going to bite the bullet and try it for a year. Since all my hormone levels were so low for 34yrs old I'm hoping to see some type of change in that respect

    After reading what others & you have said, I'm now not expecting results in the form of muscle building (as I originally thought it was for) but for the overall well being effect.

    I've been on 10mg of var ED for 6 weeks and the results are great, but I'm attributing this to only the var since the hgh is barely in my system

    ^^ There's nothing anabolic about hGH so I wouldn't expect to see any muscle building "results" from it. Its whole purpose is to optimize your body processes. If you ran it alone, you might see some fat loss over time (note: nothing dramatic), softer skin, great hair & nails growth, maybe better sense of well-being, sleeping better, better recovery etc. hGH by itself is essentially "anti-aging".

    It's been said many times, but HGH usage must be a long term commitment or you're wasting your money. If you can't afford 26 consecutive weeks (or thereabouts) of a reputable brand, you're wasting your money. For the good stuff you're talking probably $2500 for that time period.

    Try to cut corners with generic "blue tops" or anything without a label on the bottle does not actually save you any money at all.

    I'm using the green tops through an anti-aging clinic and my 3 month supply is $1200 - pretty steep but since I already stated I'm going to stick with it for the next year to really see what I get from it.

    It's just amazing how most ppl say it's not worth it - i guess it depends on what someone's looking to get from it. Now that I know it's not a muscle builder, I'm concentrating on feeling the effect of "well being" which haven't kicked in yet lol

    This is it - its all in expectations. Because the context for self-medication is usually muscle boards, people are always expecting "results" in a "cycle". In conjunctinon w/ AAS it can boost some results, but on its own, its only supplementing what your body does when its no longer at its complete youthful optimum.

    I know someone who uses gh intravenously. He claims you absorb more of it that way. Bullshit?
    You guys with the huge sponsor ads in your signatures make reading the forums annoying.

    I don't know about absorbing more but the rate at which it absorbs is definitely even quicker than IM. I know a few myself who have experimented with doing this immediately PWO and have seen pretty great results with less GH used.

    ~30 PWO there's a natural GH pulse because the body needs it to begin tissue repair. Makes sense that a big dose of synthetic GH introduced directly into the bloodstream at that time would be powerful.
