    A.Ok, so basically no food 60 min. before or after taking GH. Any benefits to taking it before working out?
    No carbs not food
    B.T4 should be taken in the morning??? I would like to hear more about this as I've heard take it before bed too
    i get it prescribed by a doctor and he made a point to say take it in the morning. No food or coffee for atleast and hour after taking
    C.Should T4 be taken everyday or just on days that GH is taken?
    yes
    D.From my understanding the thyroid will come back over time or do you need to take a supplement once off GH and T4?

    yes. gh causes insulin resistance. So carbs will raise your blood sugar significantly

    Are you supposed to take GH around bedtime or after you workout?

    Thanks. I have started my GH and I'm currently taking 2iu a day. Once in the morning with no carbs, then once when I get home from the gym (wait a half hour to eat) I have ordered the T4, but it is not here yet.

    To those saying T4 is mandatory, would you say taking T3 would be sufficient?

    at 2iu a day i would say there isn't a need to split dosage. I would do the 2iu first thing in am. I think most here woudl say no need to split until around 4 - 5iu or higher.

    So I started at 2iu a day and things were fine, then moved up to 4iu a day and my thyroid feels like it is actually hurting in my neck on either side of my throat. Has anybody had this before? Is this something I should worry about or just lay off the GH and it will be fine? Also, since I'm done with my GH should I continue to take T4 to help my thyroid or just stop taking it and let my thyroid recoup on its own? Thanks for the help!

    You took it less than 3 months? What were your results? Pharma grade HGH?

    And your thyroid will come back on it's own. There is some natural products you can take if you want.

    Whoops I meant when I'm done with my GH. I'm still using it, but concerned about this pain in my "thyroid". Yes it is pharma grade.

    We aren't doctors on here...if you have a pain go see a doc. At the least go get some bloodwork and see what your Thyroid is doing.

    I know, but there might be a doctor out there and somebody may have had the same experience as me. Trying to get more info.

    Lots of great advice. I've discussed this issue with several MDs. While many don't advocate the use of GH, you will find some that feel it may be beneficial (in the absence of adnocarcinoma).

    Of all the discussions, the one cycle that seems to be the most widely accepted is 2iu daily for three months followed by a 30 day washout before starting subsequent cycles. I know people who have used as much as 20iu daily but that is ill-advised, dangerous, and expensive!

    2iu is very low, but as one member already said, GH is a long term decision. Short term use rarely provides any significant results.

    Taking GH on empty stomach may cause epidermal flushing, light headedness, dizziness, etc. this is often due to the insulin response caused by a bolus injection of GH. Eating 20-30mins before an injection will decrease this effect.

    Educate and inform.

    GH has a number of benefits but is not without risks. There is a lot of counterfeit GH so do your homework. Legit GH will provide a number of benefits IF used responsibly!
