Why??

**Orion811** · 02-09-2008, 06:25 PM

Why am I getting such good results on only 1 i.u. per day? I'm not gaining alot of weight, just getting harder and more lean, sweating more at night, but originally went from 204 to 212...now at 213. I know it's GH (Omnitrope) because I got it from a pharmacy. Has anyone known people who are just sensitive to it? 3 years ago I did 3iu's per day and gained 32 lbs...yes I was only running GH...Jintropin to be exact. Nobody believes me, but i also had MAJOR hypoglycemia then and had to stay on top of carbs to combat it so some of the weight gain was fat. Anyway, why am I so sensitive to this stuff?

You just might be one of the lucky ones that is very sensitive to it. We are all different. I have a friend who weighs around 250lbs, when he cycles juice he uses HRT doses and still explodes. I hate the mofo !!!!

If I go above 2iu's I start to struggle with the hypoglycemia thing again. Then, due to all the carbs, the weight I gain has more of a fat content.

hgh doesn't cause hypoglycemia...it causes hyperglycemia...doesn't it?

That was my impression...

I've always been under the impression that American GH is stronger than generic or even Jintropin. It's around 5.8 to 6 mg. I've never heard anyone claim what mg generic or Jintropin to be. I used to deal straight with the factory and they couldn't even tell me.

Yes, it does in most, from what I've heard. But I also read a medical study one time that sometimes the body sees it as insulin and reacts that way...I dunno. But at 3iu's per day the hypo was somewhat intense. I'd get dizzy and lightheaded towards the end of workouts and have to down some carbo force. Then go eat a big meal. I gained alot of weight then, and it took time to lose it after I quit the GH, longer than it takes to lose gains from AAS. It's kinda weird for me, but I guess it's better because I get good gains at low doses. That's why I dunno HOW in the world some of these guys do 6 iu's per day. I'd have to mainline sugar to stay alive. But hey...right now I'm doing 1iu per day and feeling great with it. At that dose I get all the good stuff I hear you guys talk about except the extreme lean that it brings. It doesn't melt the fat off me like some of you guys say. But I do get real good strength gains. Thanks for help with the discussion.

I'm not sure what you're saying. If you mean iu/mg, almost every GH including most American pharmaceutical grades are 3iu per mg.

I think jerseyboy was referring to mg per iu....correct me if im wrong jersey...

**N4cer** · 02-10-2008, 03:54 PM

That would just mean it's a different concentration per amount of powder. You still only use so many IU. An iu should be the same amount of GH regardless. Otherwise it would be like saying a mile is longer in Pennsylvania than it is in Ohio.

GUYS:

1 IU is 1 International Unit.

1 International Unit of Somatropin (HGH 191 aa) is universally defined as roughly:

2.7 IUs = 1 mg.

**barondumonde** · 02-10-2008, 04:28 PM

the difference in "strength" may just be a result of purity (if there is other crap alongside the hgh in the powder...or if the blue top hgh degrades faster under different temperature conditions than would USA brand hgh, etc.)

**jerseyboy** · 02-10-2008, 06:10 PM

The only thing I've ever been able to find is 5.8mg so I wasn't sure as to what volume that was referring to. I have seen alot of sources advertise different purity factors too. I've also read claims that Jintropin measured out to be 2.7mg per iu, a but less than what is supposed to be the standard.
