I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this, but although I've been taking GH for years now, my knowledge on this subject is poor, and I'm thinking that I really need to consider this going forward for a couple of reasons: (1) my age, as I'm no longer a spring chicken, and (2) while in the past my GH dosing has been small, in the 2IU ED range, I'm thinking about running it higher in the future, for example 5 IU ED or more.
I've searched a couple of threads, and I hear people talk about metformin or berberine as a supplement to take with GH, and the threads quickly get clogged up with experienced people talking about what brand is best, side effects, etc, that I'm not able to digest what I should be doing going forward.
Can someone give me a primer on why exogenous GH can cause insulin sensitivity issues, and what metformin or berberine (or something else) does to mitigate those effects? Also, if I wanted to run 5IU ED GH going forward what is a simple strategy of supplementation to go with that that will be smart. I want to KISS (keep it simple stupid)
