A question about my GH levels

[boxingfan30]

When I had gotten my bloodwork done my GH was 0.2 out of 0.0-2.2. My IGF-1 levels i'm not sure about. My question is 1. is this low? If so, what can I do about it? 2. What is the difference between GH and the IGF-1? I'm confused.

A GH serum test isn't an accurate way of checking natural GH levels because its released in pulses throughout the day and the biggest one is released right after rem sleep is reached. That's why ref range is so low - you could test 0 and still be releasing GH just not when the test was done.

IGF-1 is a better test for GH levels because it stays more consistent. IGF-1 is released by the liver when it processes circulating GH.

Ahhh I see, that makes sense, thanks for that info.
