GH FAQ - info

[MaxJay]

First off, I'd like to thank everyone on this forum and the administrators for making this info available.
I've been taking GH for close to eight months now, with, what I feel are good results. I also take Sustanon and Proviron.
I've looked at the websites for the "name brand" GH's out there and can't really find any info on the dosing do's and don'ts'.
Jintropin's :: Jintropin HGH - Injectable Human Growth Hormone :: site says this:

a maximum of 2IU’s daily 6 days a week with one day off.
HGH should be given in the evening before bed. You should not eat
anything an hour and half before and an hour and half after
injection. Also do not eat foods high with glucose (sugar) three
hours before taking HGH. The sugar with interfere with your bodies
absorption of the HGH.

I do six days on, one day off. And I always wait at least an hour and a half after my injection to eat anything.

You only see the results with continued use, which means daily injections and a financial outlay of up to £20,000 a year – money down the drain if you like a glass or two of wine with your dinner, says Hertoghe, pointing out that studies have shown that just one glass of alcohol a day completely cancels the effects. “To get the best results, you should limit drinking alcohol to no more than two days a week.”

So, what's the deal? Since I have a couple of ounces of spirits every night (at least two hours after my injection of GH), does it cancel out the GH?
Thanks in advance.

Hello my name is Matt O'Brien. I am a 16 year old in highschool and recently I had some blood work done because for the past year I have been feeling the following symptoms: Fatigue, weakness, constant hunger, cold body temperature, frequent urination and overall lack of enjoyment in everything I used to do. The blood work came back with extremely low tesosterone, high cortisol, and little pituitary function. What triggered all of this happened a year ago in the summer of 2008. Starting the summer around June I weighed 130 lbs and just got done competing at state wrestling. When that was over I decided to cut down for next year right away to have a better chance at doing better in wrestling. I started eating less and less, and eventually all I ate was mostly protein, verry little carbohydrates, and little to no fats at all. All of this ended around September, so from June-September around four months I had pretty much developed an eating disorder from my favorite sport. Before I had my bodyfat taken for school, I was at 7% so I was naturaly lean anyway. Recently I have noticed that the six pack I normally have is covered in a layer of fat. Not only that but I am losing weight but gaining that bodyfat... I don't understand if the low tesosterone and growth hormone is causing bone and muscle loss, but I lift three times a week at the school and have not noticed many strength losses, I just can never get any stronger. It kills me to know that everything I do will only make me worse, I have no idea how to correct this hypothalamic/pituitary problem. It would mean so much to me if you could help me with this, I think my doctor is running out of ideas for me. He has sent me to an endocrineologist in Des Moines, IA and she took seven serums of bloodwork showing all this. I should probably tell you that I'm not Nutritionally defecient in any way, I eat around 2,000 calories a day full of the right protein, carbohydrates, and fats. I even supplement healthy fats like fish oil omegas to try to help it. I take a multi-vitamin and an extra b-vitamin complex everyday to try and help. Nothing works. Not only did all of this mess with my quaility of life, my favorite sport, wrestling, is now being taken away from me because I don't have the energy to practice or compete... This whole thing luckily has not taken my good group of friends yet, but as I get more down about it I start telling them I don't feel like hanging out with them more and more mostly because I can't keep up any more. Could it be secondary Hypogonadism Please help in any way possible.

I have also read this article, thanks for quoting it MaxJay.... I could not find anything other reference apart from the manufactures warning of taking sugar within 2 hours of HGH injection.

Can any one else shed some light on it.

many thanks
