Is 8iu HGH the max bolus for the IGF-1 response? Is a 10iu bolus a waste of 2iu?

Just got done watching this video on GH Timing with Kurt Havens. In it they discuss a range between 7.5 nmol and 30 nmol of HGH, with 7.5 being 2iu and 30 being 8iu. Its stated that this is the range of doses needed for an IGF-1 response and that 30 nmol, or 8iu is the upper limit.

I am running 10iu per day. I inject it all at once subq. Does this mean that I have been wasting 2iu with every injection?
 
You’ll need a series of repeated labs to confirm this individually, one set of labs won’t tell you much.

I would approach it like this→→→
Come completely off GH (“flatline”) for 4–6 weeks>Pull baseline labs.

Run 4 IU daily for 4–6 weeks → pull labs. Increase to 8 IU for 4–6 weeks → pull labs. Increase to 10 IU for 4–6 weeks → pull labs.

That’s the only way to see how your body responds at each dose and where diminishing returns begin.

Consistency matters, same lab, same time of day, same conditions each draw.

If I were to use labs to verify this, wouldn’t I get labs at 10iu, get labs, then go down to 8iu, wait 6 weeks and get labs again?

I was more just trying to make sense of this study, and to know if the 2iu out of every 10iu bolus I’ve been doing has been wasted. What was said in the video, I never heard before, and i know I’m not the only one who does 10iu all at once.

Worst case scenario I have to split the dose to 8iu/2iu.

You wouldn't want to work in reverse.
The way I posted will give you the clear picture.

I don't know about that video, I don't watch dudes talk. It's usually garbage they just heard. If that video didn't cover pulling labs to confirm what they're stating...I would tread lightly with any information they may be providing.

Be good man and get after it.
