I don't think small replacement doses of hgh are gonna move you IGF-1 a whole lot, but like others said it doesn't hurt to get a baseline. I've gotten igf-1 tested a bunch of times.Before I start my HGH use, would you recommend getting my IGF-1 checked? From what I read, there's not a direct effect between HGH use and IGF-1 levels but it does seem like IGF-1 levels would indicate a good quality HGH that I'm using?
I like things that are quantifiable. It makes me laugh when a guy takes his first Test Cyp injection and feels like a new man in 3 days.
Here's my current IGF-1 on 1.5iu daily. It's pretty much as low as it's ever been. If I had to guess the high marks in the last 5 years were when I was doing around 6-8iu daily.
If you want to get a guage for if your hgh is real, like @genetic freak said, get a GH serum test done.
The way to do that is inject like 8iu then get your bloods drawn 1-2 hrs later. If it's high your stuff at least is real. For a guy our age baseline is going to be really low for a serum test unless you have some kind of hormonal thing going on.
