IGF-1 levels

[sizzlechest]

I just did a blood test and My IGF-1 levels are 169.
Im almost 36. Is this low or?

Check out the normal ranges for IGF and GH. You're on the lower end of the normal range.

Ive been on 4 ius of Blues for a couple of months and Im showing 169. The stuff is probably junk.

[ScotchGuard]

Yeah, I would think your IGF would be higher if you're on 4ius for 4 months.

[sizzlechest]

anyone?

[DCannon]

I agree with Scotch, it should be higher.

I took an IGF-1 test and my reading was about 158 ng/ml, before I started taking HGH.

After taking 4iu/day blue tops, for 4 days, I took another IGF-1 test and was in the 190's. After 30 days I took another test and it was 300+.

Doing 4 iu/day, your IGF-1 reading should be much higher.

how do you get your igf levels taken? simple test at the dr.? Sorry to hear that sizzle.

Bump

I had my igf-1 tests done with a blood spot kit, which i ordered and paid for online and sent back to the testing company via UPS.

Poked my finger, deposited the blood and sealed it up, all with the company provided kit. Had the tests done for less than $90 per test and the results were both mailed back and posted online for me.

Pretty confidential and hassle free....

I just asked my doctor to include an IGF-1 test with my next blood work.

Yeah, must be bunk gear!

When you put in the water does it get suck in really hard ergo does the vials have a good vaccuum? (hgh without vaccuum is bunk)

Do you keep the dry stuff and especially mixed stuff cooled ?

[fm2002]

My first question is did you get a baseline bloodtest before starting HGH ? If not I still would agree that a 169 after doing 4iu's for a couple of months proves w/o a doubt you stuff is junk. On 2iu's a day of blues I moved up my IGF's by 230 points !

I'd certainly question any HGH that didn't have vacuum.

However, I have gotten good HGH vials that didn't have vacuum.
