IGF1 testing to determine GH quality

From what I am reading here igf1 seems to stabilize after a few days of GH usage.

There is not much info online about the proper protocol to test how good gh is but to me it seems like the timing is not very important as long as a few days of GH injects are under the belt.

Anyone have input on this?

In that article they are measuring igf 1 2 and 3 binding proteins as far as igf 1 levels I see a chart showing elevated igf-1 levels after 5 days but it dosent show it stabilizing.

It takes at least 4 weeks some say 6 for igf1 to reach its highest level at the same dose

Pharma,

Do you happen to know if food/carb intake or the timing of your hgh will affect your igf score? My last igf test was done at 6pm (12h post shot) and after several meals that day. I thought neither of those would affect IGF, but alas my score came back at 209.

This was with 3.3iu of Ansomone daily. Actual lab test was called Sematomedin-C.

Friend of mine at the same doc, CTS sides off the charts, got a 170. He also had his test done in the evening…

I’m so lost. Could the test be skewed by something?

yes it could most hormone panels are supposed to be fasted.

In the case of IGF1 you need to establish a baseline before you start using it to compare it to blood work later. It takes 4-6 weeks for igf 1 levels to peak after running a consistent protocol.

CTS sides really dont mean shit. cheap peptides cause cts and some never really raise igf1 levels significantly enough.

Im sure you trust your source otherwise you would have not brought them so dont panic yet. first at this point have a gh serum test done to see if it is infact hgh second run it for at least 4 weeks and have a igf 1 test done to see if it moved from your original number. The serum test will give you some piece of mind. Then the igf test will tell you how well your responding
