wondering, the folks that have used gh - growth hormone (somatropin) - , did you take your shot first thing in the am or b/f bed?? and why? im on the fence on this one.been taking it in the am and seems to work fine. also, do you wait an hour b/f you eat or consume carbs? thanx for any advice!

I TAKE MINE IN THE AM AS OPPOSED TO PM BECAUSE IVE READ THAT YOUR BODY RELEASES NATURAL GROWTH HORMONE WHEN YOU SLEEP.

In general AM is for fat loss and post workout is for muscle growth.
No point taking GH at night because the body's natural levels are at their highest 3 hours after you fall asleep and the half life of GH is about 3 hours as awhile which would mean you are basically wasting your GH if you inject at night.

Personally I preferred around 4pm. Worked out better for me and come 9:30 I was out cold in bed.

There has never been a study that I know of which has concluded that certain times of day injections of hGH will allow natural production of hGH to continue. In fact, quite the contrary is true with all the studies showing that hGH shuts down endogenous production regardless of time given.

In other words, if you are getting more hGH than could be produced endogenously, the receptors in the pituitary will shut down and endogenous production left over.

hGH has it's own cellular transport system and the affects don't come and go in under 24 hours.

the GH loop is short lived as thus for most normal function is restored quickly,

now your normal functioning may be quite poor of course

best thing is to use a GHRP post-use but that is another level

but it is not like coming off androgen therapy where you have a severe negative feedback loop

AM for me as well.

I've tried taking it in the morning, but it made me too tired and sleepy. I also tried taking it as soon as I got home from work (around 5:00pm) before training, but noticed I had trouble getting a pump during my workouts. I now prefer to take it post workout on my training days.

at the moment i am shooting 7ius a day. i take 4ius early morning and 3ius in the afternoon. hgh has a half life of about 3 hours and you want to avoid laste night shots so it dosnt screw up your bodies natural hgh production while you sleep. alot of people say to avoid eating an hour before and after your injections but i have never followed that rule and have always had great results.

I take 2ius early am, and the last 2ius when i get home from work..Sometimes that is at 430p or as late as 730 or 8p..

AM AND EARLY AFTERNOON

[juiced2damax]

I take 4ius about 3hrs before i actually wake up...My body just wakes up to pee at the same time every morning 3hrs or so before I actually wake up...I pound a shake and take my GH and back to bed. I take the other 3ius PWO or late afternoons on days I dont train.

As most have said, I take mine in the morning. Your body releases growth hormone when you are in your REM sleep. Its the deep sleep that causes you to dream. A good night sleep will definatly help you out.

Your own bodies "natural hgh" is effected imediately
once you start using hgh!

OK I thought I explained this and I did post it so nobody understands what I said ur what?

take ur hgh post work out if you like cause the bodies (own hgh production is shut down anyway)
