HGH - night or day?

ad

Do you take your hgh at night before bed or in the morning before work? or are you a pin cushion and you split the dose to twice a day?

Please explain why you chose to pin your hgh at this time and whether or not you plan to stay on permanently IE you give nooo fucks about suppression or if you're timing it to avoid suppression.

I see a lot of back and forth about hgh at night plus I'd just like to hear what everyone prefers

i like to take it at night because it helps with my sleep. I have done numerous igf testing at night using pharma grade gh or high grade generics. My igh was always in the 450s to 490s using 3ius. the main reason i use it at night though is i sleep so much better. I am the worst sleeper. sometimes i feel i just you gh only for sleep lol jk. i use it for the gainz

I took hgh for 3 months because that was as much as I could get at the time. I injected 2 iu three times a day, and I felt amazing. As I started to run out I added peptides to stimulate my natural growth hormone pulse. I noticed the best time to take hgh for fat loss is in the morning on an empty stomach. The best time for muscle gain is immediately post workout.

I follow a guy called Rich Piana. Google him and he gives open honest advice. He says do it in morning about one hour before eating on an empty stomach. He says this coz during night our natural GH is being produced and you don't wanna tht free supply to be messed up so in the morning.
you'll find a video on YouTube of Rich Piana, Ric Drasin discussing in detail HGH, IGF1 and it is just awesome! Search on YouTube the phrase "rich piana ric drasin hgh".
I would have posted link but I think we are not allowed to.

Depends on dosage and some other things. HGH is released naturally all day long but peaks after a workout and during sleep.

Normal growth release is pulsatile, so if you are looking for anti aging/replacement therapy then I'd go for trying to repeat the natural pulse style. So twice a day or even 3x a day would be best.

For fat loss I find that pre workout helps a lot! Like 4-5iu pre workout.

I enjoy hitting 4iu once a day in the morning. I also like to hit GHRP+cjc after a workout to get that spike post workout.

Your 28 you are still producing gh naturally but only in small increments in the first two hours of falling asleep. If you shoot b4 u go to bed u are shutting down your bodys ability to produce gh. Your body grows during sleep. So the ideal injection time is in the middle of the night halfway through your sleep when u wake up to go pee! I've been on gh over a year and after trying this method I imediately noticed it in body an apperance to be far more effective!!!

How do you know it shuts down your body's natural pulse? Have you seen scientific proof? I have never, I always just see regular joes saying it does...

TrenAllDay's picture

I do before bed. Your body does all it's repairing when you sleep, so it just seems logical to me to pin before sleep

I do evenings. Works best for me. Post workout about an hour after protein and carb intake. I sleep like a log and dreams are great.

There was a paper out a month ago that basically stated that exogenous gh shut down endo for 24 hours. However, that shut down occurred 4 hours after injection. Meaning that an injection before bed would still allow your natural pulse 2 hours after falling asleep. Of course, this is just one paper and not without detractors. The best thing to do is find what works for you by trying different approaches. Morning worked well for me but bedtime seems better for many reasons. I will stick to one a day for the time being but ...not set in stone.

That paper was about 20K GH not 22K GH which we inject.

Yeah, I remember your post.

OmNom's picture

Yeahhhhh! So far AM isn't my thing.. it made me sleep for half of the day LOL!! You should share your pin schedule.. I didn't see the thread they're talking about on your profile

Hey EmPee, I know you're well knowledgeable on gh matters; what's your recommendation?
I'm also curious about this. I've been splitting my sero's twice a day (morning and pre-workout) but it would be nice to take it at the most optimal time(s).

I've recently switched to 30 min before bed. I feel it to be more effective. Probably what Gambit says because I am 49 i'm not getting such large pulses anyway. The dreams are awesome. The other night I was being chased by Raptors. That was ok because apparently it was my job to kill them. Which I gloriously did with brilliant swordplay and trickery. The nightly movies are fantastic.

first i will say u should find what works best for u. id for a month try various protocols and in the short term you can go by how u feel.

i decided not to pin to near sleep with the assumption i did not want to mess with my bodys naturals pulses. now if u are on the older side which i am getting near then pinning at night may make sense. 40s or 50s.

i was pinning twice per day before then went to one big pin pre workout. what i found with the big once per day pin i THINK i was holding more water so thought let me go back to splitting them up see how it is giving my body an extra boost of HGH per day. just be sure to pin it far enough away from the first pin. i try for least 6 hours, pref 7/8.

couple other notes

i did a baseline GH test so i could compare, also IGF levels. ive dont a couple igf and gh serum tests to see how things go now that i have these i pay now try pinning in morning and prebed and see if my igf levels change. i hear some say that if your body doesnt have high night time pulses that taking the hgh before bed may help get those igf levels higher.

sorry thats all i can add, but its my pers exp.

I would say in the last few weeks that I have been pinning at night it is nice not having to wait an hour and a half for breakfast after I pin. So for that reason while on cycle I think night time is better. Off cycle morning won't mess with the heavy eating you must maintain while on. Your body still releases GH thru out the day so I am not to concerned. Short of getting bloods done I feel no different pinning at night versus day.

Hmmm I hear it's a lot more supressive at night.. this isn't something I plan on doing for the rest of my life but then again I hear arguments the stuff suppresses your hgh for the entire day any ways

Pale's picture

I guess somebody that has been on for awhile needs to go off and then get bloods. I don't recall if anyone has done that yet.

OmNom's picture

Hmmm we should go on a man hunt to find people who stopped using hgh long term lolol

Pale's picture

I know right? lol. It doesn't seem like guys walk away from GH too readily..

OmNom's picture

Yeah I don't really blame them it's only been a few days and I'm starting to notice a little something.. a more "full" feeling and I'm not even that carbed up
