HGH gut myth? HGH questions

**tims1** · 03-11-2010, 10:01 AM

i have been looking into hgh for sometime now.
im 6ft 3inches weighing very lean 98kilos, at 22 is HGH something that shouldnt be considered due to age. i would only look at low dose of 2iu moving to 3iu 5days on 2 off.

Also HGH myth of HGH gut is it purely a myth or has anyone run HGH had it happen to them? what are the causes of it dose? time cycled?

thanks tim

Why do you want to run it?

**Someguy123** · 03-11-2010, 02:21 PM

well the gut is either from HGH or insulin . im not sure which one. but i can personally vouch, that its not a myth.

I remember reading something about the gh gut being from increase in size of your intestines. It's supposed to be due to a large number of receptors for IGF-1 in your intestinal track. I'm not positive on this though.

LMAO - GH gut to one side for a minute boys - he's 22 and thinking of running 2 to 3 ius 5 days on, 2 off - complete waste of money in my humble opinion.

Yeah but he's talking about only 2/3 ius and is already "very lean"

yeah... if your already very lean 2-3 iu's a day wont do anything for you. Save your money.

I've never heard of "HGH Gut" I've heard of "IGF Gut". Are the two getting confused?

I guess because HGH breaks down in the liver to IGF-1.....

My father told his HRT doc that I was doing 8iu's/day and he told my father it would make my internal organs grow over a long period of time. Thus resulting in a protruding stomach......

at 22 - you'll want to make sure your growth plates are fully fused - gunna need xrays for that.

IMHO..... i wouldn't bother using it so young..... I waited until 25 and i'm glad I did.

I wonder if the amount of IGF-1 induced by 8iu/ed is enough to fuel muscle growth as well as the gut. The IGF receptors reset after a hard workout. When a BB is taking HGH as well as training hard his muscles are taking in a lot if not all of the IGF-1. I don't deny that IGF can grow the gut, I've read a lot about that. However, I don't always take what the Doc says as gospel. I think the combined empirical knowledge on this board is at least equal to the Doc's opinion.

Highly over exaggerated side effect. That often comes form extreme use for long periods. Ive seen it more with insulin that with HGH.
