I'm curious if anybody has used a growth hormone called protropin before and if so if it works! IP: Logged |

I have only used the 191 amino acid sequence gH. Since I haven't used protropin, I can't say, but I know it works. How long is the question though. There is a slight likelyhood that your body will develop an antibody to the 192 sequence. IP: Logged |

So what do you mean about the antibody? And iI would love any information i could get on this! A friend said she would give me some for free. But i don't know if it works or how much to take and is it safe!! IP: Logged |

you take it the same way as you do any other gH, i.e. subcutaneous. Spread out your dosages for max effects. 2-4 iu per day is sufficient, although many will disagree that that is not enough. I have found that 1 iu in the morn and 1 in the eve works best, since gH doesn't cause muscle growth, but stimulates production of IGF-1 in the liver. Given the short half-life of gH in the system and the amount of IGF-1 the liver can produce, it doesn't make economical sense to do too much gH, which is just opposite of anabolics. As for the antibody, it is created when an antigen (or any foregin substance) is introduced into the body. Since the normal molecular structure of the gH molocule has 191 amino acids in the sequence, the body sees it as normal gH. The protropin has an extra amino acid (for what reason I'm not sure, but I think it has to do with making it last longer in the body). I haven't studied protroping since I never had access to it, so there was no need in researching it. But since it is free, take it and use it. If it works, cool. If not, then it will not harm you in any way, it just won't work. Hope this helps. Peace IP: Logged |

The first time I didn't, but I think that was because I didn't do it long enough. I only did it for a month. I didn't do enough androgens either. But at the end of the first month, I added about 7 lbs, but looked tremedously bigger. I think that the muscle that is put on by gH is not quality muscle, but just new size. It takes training and additional products to make the muscle dense and strong. A lot of people probably wonder what the benefits of gh are. Here is an anology. Picture your muscles as a bag of ballons, with each balloon being a muscle cell/fiber. When you take steroids, it is like filling the ballons with air. Once you get off, your muscles will eventually deflate, but not totally, just like a balloon. Now, when you take gH, you are adding more balloons to the bag. You are not necessarily making them bigger, you are just adding more. So you still need to add some air (juice) to them. But when they deflate, you will in essence be bigger since you added more ballons to your bag. This last time, I am putting on some size, abeit slowly, but it is quality size. I am experiencing some tendonitis in my elbows, but I think that is because I got too strong too quick this time. I am in the 4th week (1/3 done), so the jury is still out. Will keep you posted.

Won't going on GH for as long as you are hurt your natural GH release? same as juice and natural test? I have (heard) that eod is best with GH? IP: Logged |

at that low of a dosage, no. Some may aregue that if that is the case, then there isn't enough to even be of benefit. But since the side-effects of gH are irreversible (some anyways), you want to minimize those. Typically when you get past a certain age, your body's own production of gH drops dramatically anyways. I may be lying, and someone correct me if I am wrong, but the body's natural level per day is about .8 to 1.5 iu, so adding 2 iu per day isn't that much (although it may be doubling it in some cases).
