    HGH dosage questions for tendon recovery

    What would be the ideal dose, frequency, and timing to promote healing of tendons/ligaments and also fat burning? I am not looking for gains since I am recovering from an elbow surgery and am unable to lift as the rehabilitation is lagging way behind what was expected.

    Would 2 IU per day be sufficient for tendon healing and fat burning? Would it be best to inject half of the dose twice per day for tendon healing? Would it be recommended to inject every daily rather than take days off? Would mornings and after work (about 6pm) be sufficient or is that too late in the evening? I plan on injecting subQ rather than directly into the tendon.

    Edit - I forgot to mention this is generic Chinese yellow top.

    2iu in the AM and 2iu again in the PM. give it about 6 weeks for IGF levels to hit their highest point before healing is optimized. however the fat burning effects will take place right away.

    Thanks for the info and quick reply! Does this mean I should give it about 6 weeks before noticing much as far as healing?

    how you ''feel'' in regards to healing while on HGH is hit or miss.. you just gotta trust the process. I had my back completely rebuilt with surgery awhile back.. I took 4iu of HGH and 200mg of deca along with some peptides to speed up the healing process. however, I was bed ridden and in horrible pain for a long time. so I didn't "feel'' it was working. but when I went to the doctors office a couple months later for X-rays on it, the doc was thuroghly impressed by how quickly I was healing

    I had surgery on my elbow and it is way behind the healing curve. They expected me to be cleared after 4 months. So far it's been 6 months and I am only able to lift extremely light weight. I'm hoping the HGH speeds up the process. I'll try the 2IU in the AM and again in the PM.

    I'd look into TB500 and BPC157 as well . very affordable compared to hgh

    I tried the TB500 both before the surgery and again after the surgery and didn't notice much either time. I think it was 5mg/week for 6 weeks each time. The tendons were probably in too bad of shape before the surgery but I was hoping for more with the tb500 after the surgery. I haven't tried the bpc157.

    This is just about the perfect schedule for most.
    4iu per day, split AM/PM

    While rehabbing a partial distal bicep tear, followed by a partial hamstring tendon tear, then a bicep femoris tear (about 50%) all within 6 months last year I ran test and deca both at 400 along with 2 iu's gh. Seemed to help dramatically.

    Thanks for the info. The main reason I made the thread was to decide between 2 and 4 IU per day. Due to cost I’d like to stick with 2IU’s if that’s all that is needed to promote healing of tendons which is my only goal right now, but if 4IU is more recommended I'll go that route.

    an affordable route that will give you similar results but with less GH, is run 2iu of HGH in the day, and 20mg of MK677 at night (a GH secretagogue).
    that will give you as much HGH release as would 4iu but MK is much cheaper

    mk677(60pills) cost like 80euros excluded shipping so that compensates for 2iu for similar results, cheaper way
    So for the other 2iu of hgh "budget friendly" what brand or name of gh should i be looking for

    thats a little pricey for MK .. its about $70 or so in the USA. but not that big a difference. 20mg of MK dose before bed with 5mg melatonin is going to be very similar to at least 2iu of HGH. then you take your actual HGH in the day.

    check your pm

    I took 3.3ius/day for almost a year to heal some tendonosis issues but didn’t notice any difference. Possibly some bunk hgh or possibly hgh does not heal tendonosis.
