Physicians/Clinics that will monitor HGH/IGF1 levels...

Are there doctors/nurses/clinics that will monitor these levels even if you are using UGL products? Thanks. At 67, I'm interested in the longevity aspect of HGH.

That's who i use. Currently the code "ultasizzle" gives 20% off all of their tests. You order online, pay them and go to any quest diagnostics to have your blood drawn. You'll get the results within a few days to a week depending on the test.

Thanks. I was more concerned with after getting the lab results, who would be monitoring everything? I have no expertise in this.

What exactly is it you need help monitoring? It's pretty easy to tell if the numbers are moving up or down. Especially since you can plot over time which will show you the way your results have been trending. If you need someone to actually explain it all then take a screenshot/download the results, remove/block out your personal info and post it up here asking for help. Lots of guys post their blood work here looking for help understanding the results. Myself included.

I just have concerns about blood sugar/insulin levels being negatively affected. Isn't this a fairly common problem? I wouldn't know how to fix it. Plus, I am currently taking testosterone and dessicated thyroid. Just wondering about the interaction with these hormones. Are there other lab numbers to watch?

You'd want to keep an eye on t3, t4 and tsh for your thyroid functions. If the tsh gets above range, even if t3 and t4 are in range, it means your brain isn't seeing the response from you thyroid that it wants so it ups the signal to increase production. That can happen with long term gh use. Some folks just add in a bit of t4/levothyroxine to counter act this. Others just take intermittent breaks from gh for 4-6 weeks and let their body get back into range again.

For glucose/insulin sensitivity you're going to want to pick up an glucose monitor and keep track of your glucose levels. You can get one off amazon. There are better people here than me to tell you about how to counteract any issues that arise here. You could make a post in the proper forum. But chances are it's already been asked and answered dozens of times. So maybe just do a search for glucose + gh and see what pops up. I do know berberine can be used to help stabilize glucose levels. But dosing and timing aren't something i can answer for you.

Most people don't have issues even running gh long term when it's just a replacement dose of 2-3 iu per day. You start cranking up the dose you're more likely to have issues. So try a search and see what you come up with for answers. If you still have questions you can't find the answer to make a post asking for guidance.

100%. Most providers will just think you’re a junkie and want you to stop all exogenous shit. Meanwhile, they have no clue what the adverse effects of these drugs are…
