Not sure of the exact "mechanism" behind it, but it most definitely will make you hold some sub q water. I was on it for about 10 months straight, i guess i was just used to the bit of water it was making me hold, and i really looked the best about 4 weeks after i dropped it.
this is the reason most competitors drop it 3-4 weeks out from a show

I see. So what at what dose does GH actually begin to hold water? That's why I asked if taking 2ius per day would cause water retention.

Its not quite like the bloat from test or dball to me, its like a mild bloat that is sort of permanent it seems while you are on. and yeh, i do notice some slight bloating when i've ran 2.5 iu's day. You may could try a mild diuretic but then that too can get a bit dangerous depending on which one you run

2 IU's is enough to cause some people to gain water. And you definitely will at 4 IU's. The exact mechanism has something to do with GH cross reacting with Aldosterone levels in the body. When you add test with it the effects are amplified. There was an article on this about a year ago in MD. Good article.

Fuck! Only 2ius? Well thats what I use. But then again..I don't produce any GH at all.

The only water retention I notice is in my hands and feet. I am taking around 7iu's EOD.

I know that a dose of 2iu/day caused water retention in most of the women I've worked with. I don't know if that's going to be as noticable in men at that dose however (most men I know start at 4iu).
Three months,2iu gh everyday, and I definitely am retaining water(gut, face, hands). I have been doing lots of cardio and playing hockey, and still retaining water. Only stuff using is gh and very mild eca. I probably need to clean up the diet and go higher protein as mentioned before. Any thoughts on how to get rid of the water weight would be appreciated. Maybe the three Diet Dew's per day have to go. Thanks.anthony roberts said:

Oh christ! Are you serious with this post dude? Your holding fat/water becuase of the shitty diet you just admitted your doing. And yes! Drinking that soda 3 times a day with all that fucking sugar wil do that. Dumbass! Sorry...but you got me pissed me off!
Heres another person that thinks steroids are magic!
mikefear said:There's no sugar in Diet Dew, Carth.
Well forget the sugar issue. He clearly said his diet is shitty. And diet dew does have calories you know.
mikefear said:No, it doesn't. It pretty much has nothing in it. But you're right about his diet being the cause of his problems.
Here's the diet dew nutrition info, just so you know i'm not fuckin with you:
Please, I know who would fuck with me and who does't. And I know you don't. I believed you.
Ok Carth, I didn't mean to get you ticked off. I just wanted to mention that I do retain water on 2 iu's of gh(even when I do eat properly and do hours of cardio), and was admitting my bad diet lately was probably to blame for a lot of it. I do not post very often, and this is why. Take it easy dude, I do my research, but am new to some of this stuff. Hope this makes you less ticked.I did know that there were 0 cal's and no sugar in Diet Dew, but the chemicals are not good for you.
