    Exclamation So worried with GH dropped

    So that's new, recent blood test showed my GH levels are almost non

    Groth hormone : <0.1 mU/L ( 0.2 - 13 )
    IGF-1: 160 ug/L (109 - 284)

    Do I need to go on HGH?

    I never had this test before but I didn't feel that I had deficiency, I have grown pretty well but now looking at the numbers I feel like I am missing so much

    I am pretty sure that HGH is pulsative.
    It reads zero unless you happen to catch a pulse.
    So you aren’t necessarily deficient.

    I believe IGF-1 comes from your HGH production.
    You are in range for that.

    I could easily be wrong. Just don’t tell my wife.

    GH levels also drop significantly once you enter your 30s. I concur with deadlifting dog.
