Why 5 on 2 off or 6 on 1 off dosing of HGH?

**likelifting** · 12-09-2012, 07:00 AM

I've researched a little bit and can't find why its suggested to take 1 or 2 days off a week from HGH? I'm not asking the difference between the two, but why take any days off?

Thanks

because it's expensive lol

if you can afford it, go 7 days a week for the rest of your life

LOL Thats the best I came up with as well, after goog'ing it.

Some people get side effects from the higher doses so 5 on 2 off helps minimize them. It's also a standard protocol that many follow. There are others here that can explain it much more in depth.

Consistency is the best in HGH usage. If at all possible, do HGH every day.

Your both right.

There are many different ways you can take HGH.

The following are what works best for me.

General health and an overall good feeling because I'm old... 1-2 ius EOD

Fat loss... 2 ius ED

Size and strength 8 ius 6/1

Money will most likely be the biggest factor in your HGH use and dosage. I myself love the stuff and will be on it for life, or until I'm broke.

Thanks to all who replied.

One other point that I read on the internetz, so it must be true, is this person wanted his natural growth cycle, night time I think, to recover, so taking 2 days off would do that or help that. ??? Countering that point... I also read on a true medical site that our natural growth cycle is about the time we go to sleep and its relatively short. So dosing in the morning wouldn't effect that, imo. ???

thats old school thoughts. Once your on gh after a few days your natural is going to shut down. It doesnt matter what time you inject or taking 2 days off.

Gixx - Do you have to do any sort of PCT between GH cycles? I will be through my GH by March and I don't know if I'll have the funds to reload. Thanks.
