Reason for GH injections into fat?

[rykertest]

Any of you guys that have actually used GH know what the reason is that guys always say to inject GH into your skin fold/fat and not IM? Does it really make a difference regarding the absorption of the compound or is it just that SQ shots hurt less than IM? Thanks.

I have never used it before. But part of the reason is that GH burns fat where it is injected. Alot of people inject into the fat on their abs. But I don't know about the absorbtion into fat vs. muscle.

growth hormone prefered route of administration is subQ...in general subQ injections release medication slower than IM and IV. it has nothing to do with burning fat on your abdomen..the abdomed in a prefered location for self administration of these injections because it is an easy location to get to(ie..better than trying to inject Sub Q in the fat behind your shoulder blades or tricep)

From all the research I have done I would have to disagree with you. But I have never used it and I am a noob.
VET input needed ^^^^^^^

You're both right.

so regardless of the fact that both of these guys above are correct, sub q is the best route? Would you agree kbrkbr? Thanks for everyones replies

My Dr said ....
HGH is best absorbed into the body when injected under the derma.
It is water based.
An injection into this area is painless, which is a bonus.
Should you inject into muscle, your body will still get the benefit, but more slowly. Not that sharp spike like the natural release during sleep.

I add twice the water and that really helps smooth out the reaction.
Before that, I'd feel jittery and then sleepy.

Yes, though you don't have to limit yourself to the belly. I shoot it wherever I have fat to lose.

right, I just sent you a PM about that very thing.

Yeah, there's a widespread theory that injecting GH into fat has the effects of spot reduction, however with things of this nature there aren't a ton of solid studies because there's not a lot of money to be made by pharmaceutical companies trying to figure out if GH can take a millimeter of fat off a bodybuilder's abdomen, especially when the patent has run out on a substance. Not trying to be a smartass, that's just IMO why we're limited to anecdotal evidence. Obviously if there is even some spot reduction effect, the fact that injecting into fat is almost totally painless definitely makes it all worthwhile as was said.
