I had blood work done just two weeks ago and was hoping someone can tell me if my Growth Hormone level is low for my age...
I'm 24 years young. The reason I went to the endo is I feel like I should be able to lose fat a little easier and have been a bit fatigued for a while now. Hypopitutarism runs in my family.
GH-0.1ng/ml
IGF I, ECL- 366 ng/dl

Does the GH level being 0.1ng/dl mean anything?
~Knowledgeable Female Extraordinaire~
do not know...plus these numbers reflected ng/ml which I will edit and take out since could be a typo in the chart itself

I posted exactly what my results were "as in the ng/ml" measurement. I was just trying to do my homework before my follow up appointment tomorrow ...
~Knowledgeable Female Extraordinaire~
the measurements I posted were ng/ml.....in your original post you have ng/dl...( dl not ml..??)
good luck....let us know what happens...IGF-1 level being 366 ng/ml and age 24, it will be interesting to hear what your doc says! whether okay or normal..or needs to be upped some "based on your family history"
hopefully someone else will chime in before your appointment....so you go fully armed..

Yeah I meant (ng/ml) sorry. If anyone has any advice let me know, this doctor is kind of a jacka**.
VET
Your numbers look ok to me. You want to be on the upper 1/3 of "average" for your age group.

Endo told me yesterday that my IGF-1 being 366 is normal. I figured he would say that.

so now back to square one: what do you want to do now? lose some BF? how do you plan to do this? and what is your situation since there is no mention of weight or goals...do you want to start an entire new thread somewhere else to get help so you can move forward? and achieve what you need to achieve? more help is all over this place....Originally Posted by tsr183

Slimmer me I started another thread where I stated I was gonna be getting some HGH through HRT. Im assuming if it's coming through a clinic it would be pharm grade HGH correct?
I would be able to afford 2-3 iu's per day 5/2 for an extended period of time but the guys said I would not see any muscle size gain from the 2-3iu's??
My goals with it are to see some decent size gains and some fat loss...

Muscle gains with hgh are very slow to accumulate.

24 is too EARLY for HGH...and I bet you already know this.
I just saw you are in the DIET FORUM which is FANTASTIC!!! PERFECT! GO NATURAL UNTIL YOU HAVE TO DO OTHERWISE!
