HGH Overhyped for Aesthetics? My 15-Month Experience)
Hey everyone,
I just stopped a 15-month run of HGH at 4 IU daily, split AM/PM. Honestly, I think it’s heavily overhyped for aesthetics.
In my experience, running HGH alongside a test and primo cycle is a bad mix. The HGH fluid retention basically masks the primo, completely wasting that hard, dry look it’s supposed to give you. I’m only 5 days off it, so the water blanket hasn't fully cleared out yet, but it’s already starting to go away. I can already see more lines and veins coming through, and I visually look sharper and bigger without that constant bloat. Plus, dropping the afternoon fatigue has been a huge upgrade.
I'm starting to think a clean, dry protocol delivers a much better look without all the daily hassle.
What are your thoughts? For those who have run it alongside dry compounds, do you think it wastes the cycle, or what’s your opinion on how it changes your look?

Blood test igf1? Real bloods posted, not guesses? Calories? Cycle blood tests? Age?
Saying it is or isn't is much much more....
Hey. 39 igf1 was done few months back was at 552 on 4iu. cycle 450 test 500 primo calories 2585 65 fats 225 protein 185 lbs 11percent body fat. 5 ft 10 blood work two months back all good. Going again next month.
Not following. 39igf isn't a normal. Igf1 and hgh is 2 different readings. Noone uses hgh because any peptide can read hgh incorrectly but it looks good.
Igf1 test is 3hrs post dose. Only real hgh will move that igf1 and igf1 is where we look.
552 at 4iu.....huge!
Hgh imo has never been a visual wow. It has its use but its not a big wow. I run hgh lower for old fart syndrome. My natty igf1 is flopped so I get the good sleep from hgh. Faster recovery. But its only noticeable because I need it.
If you're young with proper hgh natty then id read stickies by guru tread on BORN AGAIN. Use that hgh to get the testicular axis back. Folks now never even know about that axis because theres no old fart endocrinology posted. It's boring. But reading that forum might give a newer view and save you big money.
When young....hgh vs food.....I'm sticking to better food. When on pct then BORN AGAIN by tread and a good 8wks hgh to get axis. Preserve loss
Good luck sir
Explained very well, thank you
Sorry I meant age 39 and igf1 552 before I got on it was at 288
Ahhhh!!! Top notch numbers but natty is very impressive too.
Lil research....might be cool or worth time

Thanks pal
From my experience you will get the recovery and sleep benefits from lower doses 2-3iu / day. Lipolytic benefits at 4iu+ / day.
However, for me running 8iu+ per day along with AAS stack and a peptide is where the big dawg shit starts to happen. I run quite a bit more than 8iu per day currently and can confirm the effects are incredible. My left shoulder had severe pain for years and now zero pain. Sleep is amazing even on high doses of tren. And I am building mass at a much faster rate.
Sure, there is some water retention but potassium, vitamin c and taurine helps a lot. I guess if you want to be stage ready it makes sense to eliminate or greatly reduce anything that causes water retention but the positive effects of GH outweigh the minor hit on aesthetic appearance from water retention.
Diet, cardio and wet AAS compounds play a much larger role in how much water you're holding imo.
Yeah i was gonna say the same 4iu split am pm be really ain't shit. Might as well just take mk677 and make it easier on yourself. So many of these dudes read the is such a wonder stuff. They don't realize it's given in 20iu doses for health issues it's prescribed for. And anyone with any muscle worth talking about is def not taking 5iu and if they're doing 8iu, 10iu plus they not just on hgh.
This is probably the way... just hurts the checkbook.
Do you run it with the Naughty stuff?
Holy trinity brother
Dam that’s amazing . You split it am/pm ? Also how much potassium daily
10iu pm and 6iu am currently. 8g potassium from supplements alone, then try to get a few extra grams from food.
DAM. I'm Taking only 3iu. I'm a pussy
Nice!
I had somewhat of a similar situation the first time I did it. I did 3iu a day for 6 months. Hoping it might tighten up my old man face. It def took the visceral fat from my belly, and nails and hair grew. However I can’t blame any muscle growth on it- how wet
Sent my $ this am for round 2 and I’m planning on getting to 6iu a day for 6 months.
Nice. Better pumps without it for me maybe it’s all in my head lol
I’ve been using 6iu daily for my bulk finishing up about 6 months on it and I’m the leanest and biggest I’ve ever been not sure if it’s worth it to run on a cut
Well love hearing it was your biggest and you blame it on 6iu.
It wasn’t just the GH but I’m sure with the combination of test and other compounds it’s synergy works great
Yeh
True.
I live the effects but it’s only worth it if you have e the money I won’t buy it again u til I got a crazy amount of cash
Yeh. It bloats my face wish it didn’t. never tired pharma grade I hear pharma hgh doesn’t cause much bloat
Most GH from pharma add mannitol which when injected is a mild diuretic, so it seems like theirs is magic and doesnt cause water retention but they add something to fix that.
GH is GH. If you get it from UGL and it is high purity there is no reason to expect pharma to produce a different effect
Good to know thanks
I like the recovery and vascularity from it.
I agree. It is so friggin expensive between buying it and all the pins for very little return. Possibly leaned me out a bit, but nothing else very noticeable over 6 months or so at 4-5 iu/day
Any experience with it over 4-5 iu?
Hoping 6 makes me smirk when I walk past a mirror.lol
Lol no. I think 5 wanna high as I went. It did seem to lean me out a little more, and I didnt get any sides.
Maybe I'll give it a try again one day who knows
IGF1 pre-HGH was 288. I think 4 IU put me at 552 prob didn’t really ever need it.
