Igf1 test

[ve79]

Hey bros just got my igf1 test results back I'm at 307 and I take 2ius a day. Do I need to increase my GH or is this a good place to be to put on muscle tissue?

Thread 'If you only lose as much as you are in a deficit, what’s the point of GH for fat loss?'

Nov 25, 2025

Thinking of incorporating some GH into my Reta + Cag stack during my PSMF. Would the benefits of adding it in be? I see that GH is mentioned a lot for fat loss, but you will only fat as big as your deficit, so what is the actual benefit here? Does it actually help preserve muscle mass, especially in a large deficit, therefore you lose more fat since less comes from muscle stores? Am I missing something here?

Appreciate any input.

Look at Ghoul's message about Z-Score/SDS and see where you are at.

For your age that's top of the range and really good for 2iu I'd say. You are probably at the high end of your z-score.

If you wanted to raise it to 3-4iu you could probably hit igf1 levels of 400-450 then see what your z-score is and base your dose off what you feel safe at.

I'm 46 yrs old and my z score is 1.8 and you are right I'm right at the top. I looked at ghouls notes having at a z score of 2 would be best scenario. I guess I could go to 3iu and see how I feel at that point. . I know I'm still early to see anything. I been taking GH for only 2 months

Oh yeah check in in about 10 or 12 months , its still early in your journey with hgh, but keeping an eye on things is smart, don't mistake my 10-12 month thing as in don't keep checking periodically, but you know HGH is the Lonnng game, keeping everything harmonious is key.

That IGF on 2iu makes you a high responder, and 3iu, a 50% increase, will statistically increase Z in high responders by about +1, close to the limit of 3 after which the risk of unnatural type growth starts to increase substantially, so be careful, especially if switching to a different vendor or batch, Be sure to retest after a month or so just in case it’s more potent.
