HGH injection before bed, waste of time?

[Donuts]

Ran into an IFBB pro at the gym today, claimed it’s a waste of time to inject HGH before bed due to the body naturally producing it while sleeping and it’s best to do split doses fasted in the morning, and then the second dose post workout. Not sure how much of a difference it would make, but I’ve been strictly doing 2iu fasted and 2iu before bed. If it’s best to do post workout rather than before bed, please let me know

He’s right that the body naturally spikes HGH with sleep. However, exogenous HGH will inhibit production of GH-secreting hormone, so you won’t make your own at night if you’re injecting it.

It’s better pre-workout than post if you want the fat burning effect.

I always take it before bed, but maybe I should split it up, and inject 1/2 pre-workout and 1/2 before bed
Anyone get lethargy during the day from GH? It’s always been a thing for me, and I mitigate it by taking t4. Not easy finding legit t4 tho. I know some sources on here carry it, but I don’t want to wait for 8 weeks and possibly not get it

Through my first week of daily 3iu injections(before bed) I had gotten some pretty intense lethargy... but I find it has been getting better as I go on my daily doses. I believe its got something to do with the body regulating the bloodsugar levels

Myself I can’t do pre bed GH. For some damn reason it will keep me up. I tried it multiple ways before bed too. For me it’s either pre or post workout IM.

I want to inject while fasted but i dont fast. So...I load the syringe before bed, set it on an ice pack on the bathroom sink and pin when I wake up to pee which is around 3 am.

Could be. Good point. I took a break from GH for a few months, and just started it again. Dove right in at 3iu and then went to 4iu within the week.
I believe what you say is right, but I also feel that it’s the thyroid getting slapped around. When this happened to me before, I took thyroxine. I need to find a legit source for it.

feel like it does this to me as well. I don’t sleep as well when I do it before bed.

I thought It was just me. Never seen anyone else say this. Most ppl are saying how they sleep so well, but I’m just Laying awake whenever I do pre bed.

Nope, I get the same. I wake up multiple times per night when I pin GH before bed. My legs get jittery/restless leg sometimes too.
I started splitting doses. Half before gym. Half beofe bed. I’ve been sleeping better.

HGH injections are usually given before bed because the body naturally produces more growth hormone during sleep. However, there is no evidence that taking HGH injections before bed is more effective than taking them at other times of the day. The people there are all professionals and they will help and guide you all throughout.

Umm no. Not allowed.
