    best time to re-test IGF-1 to see how high the level will go? probably after you reach your optimum dosage and see where you are at that point
    as far as a good IGF-1 level? this is age dependent as to a good range preferably in the higher range of the chart...

    ps: are you on pharma grade? in other words, do you know you have legit HGH? or is this part of the question as well

    It's possible that hgh will not change your igf-1.
    A client of mine has twice range gh and low levels of igf-1. You can also test urinary gh at labs if you want.

    It does for most people.. Im just saying it does not for everyone due to alot of reasons. Though more then likley an igf-1 test will be useful for you. Im just putting it out there.

    to make sure a good product? pin and go get your BW asap to compare since you have a baseline....or you could rule out Hcg and take a pregnancy test. Do you have any sides yet? like deep sleep? this is a good sign.

    114-492 is your range for your age of a male who is 35. So an IGF-1 level of 350 would be much improved over 260.

    The "optimal" IGF range for anyone is to stay at the top 1/3 of the IGF range for your age. The pro's are higher than the optimal 1/3. Stay at 350 max? You body pulses natural growth hormones throughout the day and it dissipated rather quickly throughout the body. Depending on when you take your IGF reading you going to see different levels in the body. There isn't one constant level of IGF throughout the day. To measure your max IGF level is about 30min to 45 min after you take your HGH shot. It should be about the time your liver will product IGF.

    IF HGH is way too high....and I mean super duper excess hgh, then acromegaly is a possibility

    ^^^

    More then likley to gh resistance not acromegaly If his igf-1 is low/normal low

    Dont forget to get your binding proteins checked as well... THis can help determine a few things igf-1 has a lfie of about 4 minutes when not bound to a protein from the documentation i have read.

    I think what OP meant was, and he can clarify, was his concern of "if" by chace his IFG-1 level got way too high, then what would happen. Hence my response of if he took super duper excess HGH then there is the possibility of acromegaly.
