    HGH Vs Peptides

    I apologize if there has already been a major thread about this. I didn't find one through my searches. I have been on TRT for several years now, and am interested in working on my growth hormone . My last test showed relatively low amounts (I'm 44). There is so much BS information out there, it's difficult to make a decision on what to try. I haven't seen many reviews for long term results.

    HGH - I've heard the HGH is great, but can lower your natural production of HGH which is not good. Though I have heard great reviews with no complaints with doing small amounts. Like 1.5iu, 6 days on 1 day off.

    Peptides - I've also heard great things about peptides, with the biggest complaint being that sometimes they just don't do anything.

    Either way, I have access to both, and keep in mind I no longer run gear for body building. 'm just interested in staying fit & virile at 44.

    I appreciate any info.

    Question quickly becomes budget, would you be willing to pay 2-5k+ annually for rHGH or a few hundred for peptide hormones? Always go with HGH if you are able. HGH is a lot more user friendly, as you say, an 1iu most days of the week will pay dividends. Peptide hormones are active a fraction of the time, by comparison, introducing a wide range of potential side effects. Growth hormone peptides get exhausting after dosing 1-3x/day for a few months, that's the primary complaint from my research.

    Love my HGH and won’t give it up. It’s not pharm, it’s $200 a vial & think it’s 99.9 something pure.

    Noticeable difference for me at 1 - 1.5 iu’s per day. At 63, my goals are to look good (don’t care about walking around without a shirt), look like I workout & want to eat like a younger man again and not put on weight. Works great!

    How long have you been on it, and do you plan to just stay on it?

    Why not look into MK-677 and give it a try first. See what you think.
    Scientifically verified as effective. Google "pubmed mk677" and read up.

    It works great, but the craving for food can have its downfalls. I only use it when bulking. No more force feeding.

    About a year now. Yes, not giving it up as I have had very nice success for my particular needs.

    I've used Pfizer HGH many times. You have to run it long-term at least 6 months. 2ius per day makes me feel great. It makes your skin look really good and plyable and I sleep like a rock while on it. It is expensive. Years ago I was running it at 5ius per day 5 days per week along with a cycle. I looked the best I ever had.

    Any side effects difference between 2iu vs 5iu a day?

    Yeah, I was getting the Carpal Tunnel Symptoms at 5ius. Nothing too bad but def. noticeable. I bumped up to 7ius at one point for a short time but I felt like I was going to injure my wrists and forearms. I didn't check my blood sugar levels though which I would monitor if I were to do that again. HGH can cause Type 2 diabetes so def need to monitor that.

    Apparently IPAM and ModGRF are a great combo, but you have to pin several times a day on an empty stomach, which is rather annoying. You don't have to do that with GH.

    Probably one of the best 2 years of my life was when I started HRT and had a doctor who prescribed me HGH, 1iu 5x a week. He retired and I have not been able to find anyone who actually prescribed HGH and not peptides within budget.

    I've heard about it, but don't have a source for it.

    I did Somatozine, and I certainly FELT like I was one something, but when I did my blood work, my IGF-1 levels were not elevated at all. I emailed Mike Arnold and he said, although rare, some people are non-responders. It confuses me to this day, because I certainly felt something and it wasn't placebo. Placebo doesn't make you hotter, sweat, and pumped no reason. I also wasn't on anything but Somatozine; I guess I'm one of the unlucky ones.

    MK 677 works good for 75% of users . True GH-like effects , but the hungry and letargy can be brutal , most in the first weeks.

    Most peptide warehouses have it. Or anywhere there's a blue sky. Don't buy unless there's a sale, and they always have them.

    ps: there's some hints there.....
