There are studies by anti-aging groups demonstrating that a day or two off per week is adequate to protect the pituitary and its triggers over long cycles. If your use of HGH becomes more a lifestyle than a single cycle, I would consider running it 5 on/2 off, or 6 on/ 1 off until such time as we have reliable data demonstrating long-term safety sans any degradation of your own output or the triggers initiating that output.
Dag-num-it, that is from a post I wrote several years ago ... I declare there are a bunch of these HGH companies that have no shame. From ripping off sections of my posts to entire guides and posting as their how-to, I end up reading my own stuff more times than not. The least they could have done is give a little credit for where they took it from. The internet, you just have to love it I guess, and grin knowing where it really came from.

To answer the question though, your IGF level should return on its own over the course of time. When you roll out of an HGH cycle, your IGF levels at times can be soaring. When that is the case ... it just so happens that soaring IGF levels are a trigger for the increased release of Somatostatin ... which in means less effect of GHRH ... which in turn means less endogenous HGH.

It is true enough that as far as we have been able to tell, an exogenous administration of HGH will only "shut-down" (if we want to use that term) your endogenous HGH for a manner of hours. After that, the body will go on and do its thing like it always does. BUT, if your own body were to elevate its IGF levels to the moon ... guess what, it would end up dropping the IGF levels down several notches for a time until you get back to "norm" for you.

If you need to pump up the endogenous production a bit, then you can always use Arginine and Glutamine. A few grams of those and you will raise your endogenous HGH. Also, do some intense half-hour weight sessions. Those will also pump up your HGH secretions. Make sure you get a good, sound sleep at night. Maybe a few milligrams of melatonin or some benedril if you are having difficulty every now and then. Other than that, I would just give it time. 6 months or so down the line, you should be about where your were before your cycle began.
