Heart issues with Riptropin?
First time using GH.
50yo, 5-11, 215 lbs, average build for my age. Looking for weight lose and help get in shape, improve general health and well being. Alot of injuries in the past.
Purchased Riptropin from a friend.
Came in a box, numbers matched with vials, blue top with double helix. No site to verify the batch.
Reconstituted with 1ml Bac. Melted fine. Drew up to 20 units, injected. (each bottle should last 5 days) No irritation or red marks.
First day injected around 3pm. Some swelling in my trick knee. Went to bed around 11, noticed heart beating faster
Next day both wife and I injected. 3pm. I had same issues with knee, we both had faster heart rate at bed time. She said hers was beating faster and "hurt" a bit. Her BP generally runs low. She woke up with some pain in her calf.
I cant find any experiences online with GH causing hearts to beat faster. With this being generic i would like to ask those with more experience if this sounds right

Absolutely. My resting heart rate increases exponentially depending on dosage and duration. I’ve done many variations. Fasted, before bed, slow taper, low doses. Medical brands (multiple), generics (multiple), stacking with IGF-1, metformin, berberine…. The worse was when I was doing it right before bed and waking up in the middle of the night with my heart blasting. Not sure of the exact pathways but something is upregulating, putting you in a more sympathetic state (versus parasympathetic) … I’m prone to be more sympathetic naturally versus the later so I’m sure genetics plays a role. Using a beta blocker decreased my resting while on GH, but I don’t recommend long term/chronic use for this side effect. Dropping your doses, hydrating and keeping stimulants to a minimum helps me the best but nothing is a cure all besides complete cessation. Not sure of your goals but you could try EOD or for recovery only to at least keep it manageable. I also see increases in bpm with certain androgenic compounds like Tren (especially high dosed protocols). I have yet to find a cure. And it has nothing to with the formulation, not for me anyway. A little as 2iu of GH daily increases my BPM by 10 beats easily. Heart rate and water retention are two things I’ve never been able to mitigate while on higher doses of HGH, even with a ARB like telmisartan, as Victor black attributes the water rention to increases in angiotensin ii
So far taking 2iu a day. Weight loss, general well being. Found if we take it early in the morning by night we are ok. Its lessoned some. After 3pm no tea or anything. Eating right before bed tends to bring up my heart rate so stopped snacking. I crave sweets less now too. So i feel wife and i are tolerating it better. Tightness in my knees are gone. Like others have mentioned dreams are a bit more intense. Yet i seem to be waking up earlier, wife is not. Less sleep doesnt seem to be affecting me like it once was. I can go longer without as much sleep.
As for working out really just light weights, push ups, dips and that. Muscle tone seems much better. I have all the sudden put on 7 pounds this past week, but my belt isnt any tighter. Guessing water as others have mentioned Riptropin puts it on you. *Trying to read up now on which GH puts less water on a person and one of better quality. 2 vials out of the bunch we have taken have left whelps and lumps. Its fresh Bac water and im meticulous with sterilizing everything so thinking its contamination of this Generic. Looking to up dose now that things seem to be better.
I haven’t used Rips in a verrrrry long time, surprised they are still in production actually. The welts could be due to impurities. I’ve on occasion had them with varying brands. And I’m don’t subscribe to the notion that certain GH preparations lead to more vs less water retention, as I’ve had this side effect across the board including Pharma. It’s complete and utter bro-forum-bullshit. Even studies showing exogenous gh use resulting in increased LBM, much of it was intercellular water. I think one reason this myth exists is that some generics may be overdosed , especially in the case of riptropin. As memory serves me, I recall them being very strong and I’m doubtful they were dosed at 10iu per vial, although this is pure speculation, I have not seen any analysis to back this up. (Self Censored) who was the one of original sources of rips back in the day, now sells other generics and certain color tops come back at different dosages depending on batch. Just something to consider.
One otc supplement that has provided marginal benefit to help keep me from looking like a bloated hippo is horse chestnut. Upon resuming GH use I gradually put on anywhere from 5 to 7 lbs of water and it stays that way until I come off. If doses are increased too fast I will get joint pain, especially in knees. I’d keep an eye on your insulin sensitivity too as prolonged use is known to impact it. Avoiding carbs around the time of administration may help some. While HGH use has many pros it also has some unfortunate drawbacks depending on the user and protocol. Stay safe and healthy brother !
Yes, the posts about Riptropin are old! The site is gone so one cant go check the batch number to confirm its legit. So...who knows! Got it from a friend who goes to a gym who knows a guy there........you know the story.
I will try to order from more reputable establishment mentioned here.
Bloated hippo lol. I am sitting right at 7 pounds over. Knees are fine now, when i started by bum knee was acting up, hands, toes tingle but that has gone away now. I wait about 2 hours after injecting in the morning before i eat something.
So far the side effects and such make me think its legit. If its actually Riptropin or know who knows
Thanks for the feedback!
RustyhookerWhats your idea of 20 units equal? 20iu hgh or....?????
Being new to this, unsure i started with the lowest suggested dose.
Giving it a try this morning to see if the heart beating faster will subside before bed.
It has put water on me. Any joint i injured in the past i can feel it inside.
TricepatopsYou 100 percent positive it is GH?
Being a generic from China....not sure. Its kind of a crap shoot i guess when buying that way and being new i have no idea how to tell if it is. I have read ALOT about other experiences. Just never ran across it or HGH causing an increase in heart rate hours later. I dont feel jittery or anything. But buzzed, pupils are ok. Mild swelling most noticeable in my knees.
So asking to see if anyone has any advice based on the symptoms. As for Riptropin the vast majority of posts i have read about it are a few years old.
