your job will never test usless you in nfl and then they dont even bother

[Razor]

you job does not care about you use Gh

Basically what you both are implying is that it is too expensive and to had to detect? I did hear they have come up with a test for it through urine. Would that be added to a 10 panel drug test or no? Thank you for the help

Barbituates
Benzodiazepines

There's no way to test for GH in urine.

The only accurate way to test for it at all is to do a GH serum test, which still isn't conclusive because rHGH is only active a few hours post injection. They would have to identify what isoform of GH is present in the blood ie. rHGH is 22kda and endo GH is primarily 20kda but consists of many different isoforms. If someone were taking GH the GH serum test would show that all the GH in the blood would be 22kda due to the natural 20kda and all the other isoforms being suppressed. I'm pretty sure that's how MLB is testing for it and it's not cheap. I doubt your employer cares enough to go to that extent......

And the test is like 30k right?

Even in law enfor***ent. As per AG they wanted to start testing. but how much is the test. Also doesnt HGH turn into IGF and cant they test IGF levels

Expensive and dosnt prove anything

[BigE1182]

As long as there is no way for them to detect it in urine or detect IGF levels through urine I should be fine? Just want to be 100%. Thanks for taking your time guys. Much appreciated

It can be detected but there is a lot of variables at play

If you tell me who is testing you I can tell you if they can detect it

[Sgt. Hartman]

IGF-1 levels can be detected through urine but the method of using IGF-1 levels to determine GH use was found to be very unreliable and done away with - at least in professional sports and the olympics.

Unless you're getting a job where you need the highest level of security clearance I wouldn't worry about it.

[DanB]

Damn sarge way to burst my bubble lol

Op like he said, unless its high level testing you are fine, I threw in about the variables because there is a new method, word on street so to speak is its being adopted in next few weeks but unless your dealing with wada or respective bodies then you have nothing to worry about

EDIT

As sgt.hartman already said.....

[BigE1182]

Through law enfor***ent/security etc. I had surgery and i want it to heal as fast as possible so i can get back to full duty, would they test for it?

[DanB]

No they wont, relax
