Anyone here stictly use HGH for recovery?
I've always steered clear as some of the negatives kept me away, but as I am starting to get up there in age...I feel like an injury machine. I lift, surf, hike, volleyball, and tennis. Between those I always find new and creative ways to injure myself. I was considering running 2 or 4ui for recovery. Currently have really bad whiplash from surfing while also suffering from tennis elbow that started originally from lifting too heavy for chest. I am great at listening to my body but HGH is starting to catch my eye as a means to recovery the tendons faster and keep me going. I am taking a few weeks off here and there lately and definitely not overtraining. My diet is great, sleep so-so, everything is more or less good, just starting to lose the aging battle I think.
Don't get me wrong the other benefits look nice, the edema not so much but I am usually careful with sodium so I think I should be fine. Any thoughts or input on recovery and being less injured pre and post-HGH would be helpful! Thanks

Hgh and edema? Youre talking maintenance doses. Not cycle doses.
Been dealing with a severe tendon issue in my racket hand, from decades of tennis. Last fall, started taking UGL 3-4 IU of HGH before bed, then elected to have surgery on the tendon mid-winter. Now, I combined my post-surgery recovery with BPC/TB, and some anavar, but collectively, I'm positive the HGH is helping. My surgeon and my PT are both amazed at the progress I made.
Don't expect instant gratification. HGH is a slow burn. 6-12 months.
I was going to recommend BPC/TB, as well. How is that working out for you? Which do you think works better? Probably a stupid question because HGH seems like the end-all-be-all…
I assume you’re still running the HGH? Yeah I’ve had lingering tendon issues for years and would almost do anything for them to go away.
Yup, 3 IU nightly at the moment. I'm committed to running it for a year, unless my fasted blood glucose gets too high (expect it to slowly creep up).
I've been on 2.5 IU a day and my HBA1c has actually been consistently going down. I think taking it at night with an empty stomach mostly fixes that issue. Also on lower doses you won't get edema most likely
I was genuinely surprised, came up in routine bloodwork. And I've been doing my best to go at least 3 hrs since my last meal before taking it at night. Checking in on the AASdirect Telegram channels, a lot of other guys see the same slowly creep up on them.
