Tested igf levels instead of hgh serum. Low!?
ad
Hello, so confused about the best way to test your hgh...we spend so much money on this stuff and you really never know what your getting. My doctor says the best way to test if your hgh is real, is to have your igf levels taken. I have also read conflicting topics about serum tests and how they might not be the best way to test.
So i have been running a very popular brand of gh(kefei) for a few months now at 5iu/day. We decided to have my igf-1 levels taken and I ended up on the low end of normal(believe it was 112). She said there is no way I should have been that low if the product was real.
The thing that confuses me is there are
A lot of guys who swear by this stuff and have good serum test levels taken.
Any thoughts on this??

Bad news :-( that's a common problem with non bio-active GH it is possible to get a false rise in GH serum but you body will not convert into IGF so it will not give you any benefits other than the placebo effect.
I would always recommend a GH and IGF test you can get economically cheaply at privatelabsmd.
BillLumberghigf-1 peaks 24 hrs after the injection. when did you test? thats still pretty low anyways if you were running 5 ius of good hgh.
Well this test was done after using 5iu everyday for 4 months.. My igf Levels were actually down from my last blood test I had before I started the gh. Doesn't make sense to me. My DR even said on real gh your igf levels should be way above where I was at (116)....
BillLumberghwhen was the last time you injected? if you missed a few days maybe your levels dropped back down and lower because of negative feedback. high igf-1 causes a negative feedback for gh release, so then once you stop exogenous hgh could take a little while to build back up.. just a theory. I'm not sure how cumulative igf-1 levels are but I know they peak 24 hrs after injection.
I'd say if you still have a bunch of kits left just get a serum test, find out for sure if the shit is real/fake.
The serum test does not prove if its legit HGH only an IGF test can, Many of the generic brands will raise your GH Serum but it is non bio-active GH your body does not use and convert into IGF-1 so therefore it does 0 for you. If after using 5 IU's per day for months and your IGF-1 levels are not elevated you have bunk GH.
It depends on your source.Your igf should have been higher if it was legit,probably around 400 or more.With serum tests you can test your gh right away instead of waiting for your igf levels to rise for 3 or 4 weeks.
