What is the reason for the water retention while on hgh? And why will it disappear after a few weeks(i hope so)?

Are you retaining water or just asking? I never retained water on it..any water retention will be changes in sodium and potassium balances in the body tho

I definitely retain water and I heard, that its typical for the first weeks. But since there is no raise of estrogen where does it come from?

Ive been on GH for a while now ... and never had any retention ... though alot of my friends have had it ....

What im pretty sure of is the people that were on a strict diet were the ones that didnt have any trouble ...

And the ones that were having more cheat meals and sugar here and there were the ones not seeing the results and getting the water retention ...

Anyhow good luck

they say water retention is from prolactin which is the same thing that can cause gyno on growth.. Cabergoline (sp) is supposed to combat this. What else are you on? Diet plays a key role in everything but other things could factor in. Some more info would be great.. Good luck bro!
