On HGH for years but IGF1 levels low?
So I made the mistake of never testing my baseline IGF levels and now, after about 10 years or being on 3 ius of HGH, I test them for the first time and it’s a measly 103. A bit of background: I’m a 52 y/o female in menopause (about to get on hrt because of course all my hormone levels are low) and have felt great this whole time. I have great muscle tone, great energy, no brain fog, look great for my age, and I always credited the HGH. Of course my first thought was that my HGH has been fake but upon looking up the company here all I see are 5 star reviews (not sure if I’m allowed to name them here). Weird thing is, I have been having carpal tunnel symptoms for a couple of years… more reason to believe my IGF levels were high. I do inject it in the AM, not sure that should matter too much. I also dont think that having low estrogen, progesterone and test justify my low IGF in spite of GH supplementation. My 54 y/o friend with low levels as well has an IGF of 130 and has never taken HGH. Any feedback/insighys would be greatly appreciated!

IGF1 is more complicated than that and levels alone are often not a reliable indicator of your HGH being legit/good quality. Get off the hgh, get your natural igf1 level and reassess from there. Could try a different source as well and see if it changes anything
Thank you. Good idea.
gogo90809Peptide-level growth hormone cannot be produced in ordinary underground laboratories. Therefore, many sources you see online are actually ineffective. Even if they do contain growth hormone, they are mostly denatured proteins that have lost their physiological activity. Perhaps serum GH can be detected by antibodies, or you might experience side effects, but in reality, their liver-stimulating activity is almost completely lost. This is mostly due to sources from underground laboratories.
But like I said, I seem to be the exception when it comes to results from the HGH from this particular company. Everyone else has posted improved IGF levels as well as corresponding symptoms. People also constantly send lab results that show the legitamacy of their product.
