HGH - Refrigeration & Dose Splitting

[rippedgenesbro]

So I’m getting ready to take the plunge and splurge on some Meditrope. My plan is to run 8 IU ED for about 6 months while blasting on Trest for a big bulk. I have a couple of “stupid questions” before I begin, so I figured this was the best place to ask them!

One of the things I’m having trouble deciding is how I want to split my 8 IU dose up. It seems like everyone and their dog has differing opinions on this. I’ve heard some people say they pin their whole dose in the morning upon waking up, while others do half-and-half, with the first half being upon waking and the second dose being either pre-workout, post-workout, or before bed. Then I’ve heard of others who take their whole dose before bed.

I like the idea of pinning half my dose upon waking up – it’s convenient and beneficial for the fat-burning qualities of HGH. I don’t really like the idea of pinning HGH before bed because HGH already surges during sleep, so it makes more sense to me to pin it at another time in the day when HGH production is lower. That leaves me with pre-workout or post-workout. I lift in the evening, around 6 PM, after work. My theory is that it would be better to pin the second half of my dose pre-workout, right when I get off work, because it leaves more time for the HGH to peak before I go to sleep, and it puts the HGH peak more in line with when I’m doing my lifting and beginning my recovery from lifting. I feel like if I pin the second half of the dose post-workout (at around 8 PM), I’ll hit my peak right around the time I’m going to bed, and that won’t be as effective. So, I guess my question is: does my reasoning sound logical? 4 IU in the AM upon waking, and another 4 IU maybe 30-45 minutes pre-workout? I realize that the most important thing is getting the HGH in the blood and raising those IGF-1 levels, so dose-splitting timing is not majorly important, but I still like to do things in the most logical way that I can, so it’s worth considering, in my opinion.

My second question is: how critical is it to refrigerate your HGH kits in their POWDERED form (i.e., before reconstitution)? I recall reading somewhere that there are only certain pharma brands of HGH like Serostim that are technically acceptable to keep at room temperature in their powdered form, but I mean, these Meditrope kits are in all likelihood not kept refrigerated by sources in bulk, and they get sent through international and domestic mail systems where they are not refrigerated, as well. Do guys really keep 10-20 kits worth of powdered HGH in their fridges before reconstitution, or do they leave them at room temp and only refrigerate them once they are mixed with the bacteriostatic water? It seems like you’d need a dedicated HGH fridge just to keep these hundreds of vials of powder cold and still have enough room to store your food…

Thanks in advance for the feedback and advice, guys!

I keep all my in my mini fridge all the time. Better safe than sorry imo. As far as your natural GH, I don’t think you’re going to be producing any while taking 8iu/day, I recall reading a paper that showed HGH administration suppressed natural release for 24 hours, however I haven’t been able to find it again so who knows. That said, your natural GH secretion isn’t going to do shit compared to 8ius, so you really shouldn’t stress about it. Splitting your dose AM/PM will give you a better igf-1 response in my experience.

Are you going to run slin?

Split it, don’t split it, in my experience, it makes little difference as far as quantifiable results. I take mine all at once as it is most convenient.

If you are talking generics I would keep them in the fridge for sure. I find the vegetable drawers hold quite a bit of GH haha.

The HGH I’ll be using will indeed be generic – I ordered some domestic Meditrope Mauve Tops from TP, but after hearing how hit-or-miss his T/A can be, I was a little doubtful that they’d be shipped out in a timely fashion, so I decided to pick up some of the generic domestic kits from Dragon Ordnance, as well. I’ve heard great things about the quality of Dragon’s HGH, and his quick T/A should have the kits in my hands in a few days so I can get started with my blast. I would certainly love to run something like Serostim, but I’m just not made of money…

Deep down I knew that refrigerating the lyophilized powder was the way to go, but I guess I was just kinda hoping I wouldn’t have to. Without going into too much detail, my current living situation makes it rather difficult to explain a bunch of vials chilling in my fridge… It would have been a lot easier to tuck away a single reconstituted vial rather than multiple kits’ worth. My situation might seem a little strange given the fact that I’m able to mix and run Trest, NPP, and Anadrol without arousing suspicion, but I’ve developed some rather creative ways to conceal my gear usage from the rest of my family. I suppose I’ll just have to come up with something new to make the HGH cold storage work!

That’s along the lines of what I was thinking. Seems like it’ll work out pretty well, given that my current plan is to take half my dose around 6 AM, and then the remaining dose pre-workout at around 5 or 6 PM. Almost a perfect 12-hour gap! I’m also pleased with the fact that both doses should be on an empty stomach, with no food consumption for a few hours afterward – should help with the fat-burning characteristics of HGH, which is a nice little bonus.

Are you going to run slin?

You know, when I first made the decision to finally give HGH a try, one of my first thoughts was whether or not I’d try running slin and/or something like Cytomel along with it. To be completely honest, using slin kinda freaks me out a bit. Running Growth is one thing, but the prospect of making a misstep with slin and slipping into a coma is a little scary… I know 8 IU of HGH is a pretty high dose, but I was under the impression that slin would not be an absolute must, even at that dosage. I like to think that I’m a pretty intelligent guy, so I think I’m capable of running it effectively, but I suppose I just didn’t want to overcomplicate my blast any more than it already is. As it stands, I’m going to be taking MENT, NPP, Anadrol, and a little Mast toward the end, along with the Growth. That’s already 3 injections per day, so the thought of adding in slin makes me feel like I’d be getting into “human pincushion” territory, haha.

There is something I’ve been wondering, though… I’m considering whether it would be better to start off with something like a 4 IU per day dose of HGH for the first week, to gauge any potential sides, and then bumping up to 6 IU per day for the next week, followed by another bump to 8 IU per day in the 3rd week. On the one hand, it seems like a smart way to approach it (as far as evaluating my tolerance goes), and it also stretches out my current supply of HGH a bit, too. However, the more gung ho side of me wonders if I’ll just be wasting those first two weeks at a lower dose, not building my IGF-1 up as quickly, and not taking advantage of the full anabolic effects that might be achieved by simply starting at the 8 IU-per-day dose… Thoughts?

Not necessary to refrigerate when (lypholized) powder form. Mandatory once reconstituted.

I’d stretch the out your staring plan even further then a week. My first run didn’t start experiencing sides until the 2nd week. I’d do something like this

2iu for 2-3 weeks
3iu for 2 weeks
4iu for 2 weeks - split dose from here
5iu…

Keep following until desired dose is reached.

You might not even be able to run it at 8iu. Those fuckers are strong and the sides can be brutal.

I followed something similar and it helped manage the sides better. I would only increase my dose once the sides subsided.

Keep an eye on your blood sugar levels. High doses can increase blood sugar to pre-diabetes/diabetic levels. Berberine is an herbal blood sugar control option.

A diuretic can help alleviate some of the symptoms/sides like CTS and bloating. MHP EXPEL is another herbal diuretic.
