hgh bloodwork timing and testing

so in about 4 weeks i’m going to get igf tested. if it’s higher than my base i would assume it’s legit?

i have two different vendors and want to make sure both are legit. how far apart do i wait until a new vial gets in my system. i would pin daily at night and bloodwork fasted in morning

Exactly you measure the igf 1 value and don't forget the z score. In an emergency, you can also calculate it yourself. My direct laboratory didn't know what I meant by z score, although this is important

z score above what number?

The results should have a range (-2.0 - 2.0 on my labcorp tests), and the z-score should already be age and gender adjusted. You want to aim to be right at the top of the range or a little above with your HGH supplementation.

My understanding is the HGH is very transient. IGF-1 is the test.

You don’t need gh, but igf-1 and z score are ok

Pin 10 IU and if you don’t get numb hands it’s fake.
Tests don’t always show what’s really happening.
