GH (growth hormone) Effects?

[Gentes]

Hi, firstly I would like to thank the staff for creating this section on the forum.

I found a lot of researches telling that there aren't good effects and the side effects could be very bad...
So, could someone who knows more about this tell the good effect of it as a doping hormone?

A lot of research has been done on growth hormone, and there are positive and negative effects. It all depends on what goals you are pursuing.

Growth hormone is not doping, but primarily a hormone that regulates a lot of cell growth processes in the human body. First of all, you need to understand what your growth hormone level is, what age you have, and what are your contraindications.
GH inhibits thyroid function and thyroxine production.

Keep in mind that there are natural ways to increase growth hormone levels, these are intermittent fasting and training.

I was trying to ask what is the most influenced factor
muscle growth?
testosterone/estrogens?

 

[HIGGS BOSSON]

First of all, training has an effect. Testerone is most important for gaining muscle mass.

- it improves recovery after training
- it decreases muscle loss from caloric defficit, so when a person is in cutting stage, he’s gonna lose less muscle than he would otherwise
- it increases IGF-1 levels, so it should theoretically lead to muscle hyperplasia (basically one muscle cell dividing into two muscle cells), which would be good especially for bodybuilders. There’s a limit to how big a muscle cell can be, so when a person reaches this limit, the only thing that he could do would be to have more muscle cells, therefore bigger potential for how big his muscles can be.
- it improves athletic performance:
“After eight weeks, researchers found that growth hormone improved sprint capacity in men and women by an average of 3.9% over the placebo group — which would trim 0.4 of a second from a 10-second time in the 100-meter dash”

I took 6IU every day for 3 months. A little bit more strength, body fat was a little bit lower and my hair looked thicker.

 

[Gentes]

Is there a big difference from 10IU? It's nearly the double

 

[skanderbeg]

I think 10IU a day is too much you will need to take insulin also with such high doses. 4-6IU/day is the optimal dose.

 

[bigrob]

nice is that 6iu of pharma or china genetic ?

 

[skanderbeg]

Turkish Pfizer

 

[bigrob]

Most of the side effects I see that are super detrimental seem to be at an older age after prolong use. Cardiovascular issues seem to be a concern
