Only about two weeks in a 6 month course with Hygetropin. Still at 2 iu, but working my way up to 4iu 6/1. Havent noticed any other sides, except I have noticed quite a bit of water retention in the mid section, face and lower legs. I read somewhere you can take a diuretic while on GH. What type could I use safely and long term. Pretty much any type would be available to me. I do supplement already with dandelion and urva usa.
