What is your personal take on HGH dosing schedules, dosage amounts, T4 supps. Any and all experiences are welcomed and appreciated
History of HGH---Was found through amino acid chains--- Growth hormone (GH) is a peptide hormone . Growth hormone is a 191-amino acid, single-chain polypeptide that is synthesized, stored, and secreted by somatotropic cells within the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland. Somatotropin (STH) refers to the growth hormone 1 produced naturally in animals, whereas the term somatropin refers to growth hormone produced by recombinant DNA technology,[1]

What is HGH---- HGH has a strong anabolic effect as it not only causes muscular hypertrophy (enlargement of muscle cells ) but also muscular hyperplasia ( increase of the number of muscle cells) while anabolic steroids only cause muscular hypertrophy. HGH also influences burning of fat, strengthens the connective tissue ( tendons and cartilage ) and greatly increases strength. Gains made on HGH cycle remain after the drug has been discontinued.
HGH has to be used in combination with thyroid hormones (T4), insulin, anabolic steroids; anadrol, sustanon, omnadren , testosteron propionat . etc..(aka TREN YUM YUM) to be effective. Because growth hormone has a short half life injections should be divided throughout the day.
T4 is important because. not only do we need additional T3, but we actually want the conversion process of T4 into T3 to take place, because it the presence of those mediator enzymes that will allow the T3 to be synergistic with the gh.
there reason for T4 instead of T3 is that if gives you more of a cushion in dosing and your body becomes sensitized to its effects much slower. Also, it's more practical to be on a couple hundred mcg's of T4 for extended periods of time than to have to keep titrating up and down with T3.-- T3 levels still needed to be elevated, but you want the natural T3 so it is better to take T4 supplements so T3 can be elevated.
" Your thyroid gland secretes two hormones that are going to be of primary importance in understanding Thyroid/gh - growth hormone (somatropin) - interaction. The first is thyroxine (T4) and the second is triiodothyronine (T3). T3 is frequently considered the physiologically active hormone, and consequently the one on which most athletes and bodybuilders focus their energies on. T4, on the other hand, is converted in peripheral tissue into T3 by the enzymes in the deiodinase group, of which there are three types- the three iodothyronine deiodinase either catalyze the initiation (D1, D2) or termination (D3) of thyroid hormone effects. The majority of the body's T3 (about 80%) comes from this conversion via the first two types of deiodinase, while conversion to an inactive state is accomplished by the third type.

actually want the CONVERSION process of T4 into T3 to take place, because it's the presence of those mediator enzymes from T4 that will allow the T3 to be synergistic with hgh, instead of being inhibitory as it is with only adding T3 to gh.
Side effects. Adverse reactions to HGH use are rare but technically could involve acromegaly (elongation of the feet, forehead and hands). Other possible side effects involve overgrowth of the elbows or jaw, thickening of the skin and a type of diabetes., and CTS9 google it if you don't know what it is.)
if you are running gh your thyroid is already being suppressed so for starters, that is why the addition T4 is helpful. I use t4 the best dosage seems between 100-200mcg. in general i think it is safe to stay on it as long as your gh run goes, but i would taper it at the end.
HGH--is different for everyone I will not run less than 3 months, but 6 moths should be your goal IMO is the min. Again everyone is different, I use 2iu 3x per day between meals. There's no 'wrong' way to take it IMO. I personally believe 10iu is overkill, 5-6iu assuming GH is good quality is ample.
o one last hing for you about GH: it takes a few days out of the fridge to have the potency break down. if you mix it with bacteriostatic water it will be good for over a week in the fridge about 14 days.
