HGH Blood Test, to fast or not?

**bigsx** · 02-19-2013, 02:16 PM

Hi guys, I'm going to get my bloods done to see how real or fake some of the hgh is that I'm taking. Do I need to fast before the test, if so, for how long? Also what is the exact test I need to ask for, thanks.

HGH's most active about 45 min to 60 min after your HGH shot. You doing a hormone panel?

GH serum test and an IGF test,

fast 12 hours.

an a bad note, any of those levels can be faked easily with a simple peptide and can increase those numbers stupidly high.

Theres no way to know if you have GH in your vial unless you have pharmacy grade HGH.

But those are the tests you need.

Trust a guy whos been in your shoes........

If you wanted to test, i would test GH serum levels first, if they come back good then run it for a few weeks, after this time IGF levels should be raised at all times, then test them

Also can look for depleted t4 since Hgh causes that conversion... depending on dose of course

Hey guys, went to family doc today and he said that pathology there cant test for it and I need to go for specialist test to get it done. Pain in the ass, I jabbed 10iu this morning for nothing, does anyone know a place in syd where I can get this test done. A friend told me there's a place in Homebush n costs 500, is that for real?

For starters what hgh are you using? If your going to mention syd please say Australia this is an open board around the world. Go to another doc, your family doc doesn't have a clue or access. As far as I know the measurements are done different here in Australia and not the same as the US. My test was but there are conversion charts if you can find them to help you understand your readings.
