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

@Ghoul yesterday done bloods; 2IU 2ktropin until Nov then 4IU, then Lobster 5IU from Nov 24th. Daily bolus before bed (including the night before the fasted AM test), currently cutting, plus reta 3mg/wk bolus. Only test 240mg and adex.

Done Randox Everyman check, which has plenty of data on top of which I asked for IGF-1 to be added.

TSH 2.71, FT4 12.6, FT3 3.97, IGF-1 28.5, insulin 4.7, C-peptide 0.6, glucose 4.61, HbA1c 30.16, HDL 2.06, LDL 1.4, triglycerides 2.2, lipase 55.4, amlyase 39

Surprisingly, ApoB 54, ApoE 7.54.

Believe I could even easily slowly tirtrate up to 8IU considering that my Z-score (calculated with some online tools) is between 1 (Horenz) and 1.25 (Bidlingmaier).

Looks good just beware calorie deficit is one of the 1000 levers that controls IGF-1, so since you’re cutting, once your start eating more, you could see a major increase within a couple of weeks.

Just a reminder to test again after going from deficit to surplus and increasing the dose.

Luckily everything around GH/IGF is slow moving, so even if Z moves into dangerous territory, at few weeks or even a month isn’t going to do and significant harm.
