    Default Growth Hormone

    Continuing the theme of gathering real life experiences with various substances. If you have used GH at what dose and what was the duration of use. Results/sides

    I used GH for about 8 months in 2006/2007 and loved it. 1-1.5 iu's a day. I initially noticed pain/swellingin my wrists/hands - but it went away after a couple of weeks. Nothing serious - but I noticed it. I leaned out in my abs first and had really nice abs after about 3-4 months while taking it. Granted - my diet was tight - I wasn't eating crap. My hair and skin were beautiful, but my hair growth was excellerated. I used to bruise easily - and that completely stopped. I slept better and could eat more without gaining weight.

    That's mostly to save cash - it really has nothing to do w/ "best cycle". Ideally would be every day, and some prefer every other day.

    You'd want to inject subcutaneously. Some claim some local effects so spot inject in the stubborn areas like waist & hips.

    What is her reasoning for the 2 month break?
    Palumbo recommends this as well.

    got that feed back from Dave,and most times i would research it futher myself,but i and others i know have used Dave's coaching.So i guess the best answer is i'm not sure!I would think it's to allow your natural GH levels to build back up and/or like any supp you use it to long and it begins to downgrade.Good Q!!

    11 months
    1 IU / day after 4 months upped it slightly
    fat loss & lean gain but was very very sutle
    which surprised me
    i thought would been quicker
    helped bring up my quads which always my biggest challenge

    My wife uses 1iu daily first thing in the a.m. She loves it. Her hair is thick, skin is soft, and it has helped her lean up.

    She uses it for 9 moths and takes 3 months off.

    Yep, the more I read about this- the more I think I need to go this way. Supersnake - did your wife have any skin elasticity issues that resolved once she started on HGH?
