As I said above, 1 iu is benificial for health (cardiovascular improvements, structural integrity improvements, ie cartilage in joints etc and appearance, ie skin integrity etc) however, rarely does a person use 1 iu a day.
Even the commonly studied anti aging doses are 1.6 iu a day.
Big O, if your wife actually uses an iu a day that's great, but rarely will you see even figure girls using this much unless they have suffered side effects or actually listened to a friend that got side effects.
For example, the person asking this question doesn't even compete and is using 2 iu a day...obviously then her friends are probably doing at least the same or else why would she begin with a higher dose than them. This is the most common thing seen.
The figure girls that use 1 iu probably do so after using more and developing symptoms of such use, jaw, brow, nose etc. Rarely do they start off and stay at 1 iu a day.
For the people answering here, how many years have you been around this stuff? I was learning about gh when genetec only had protropin...that was the 80's, alot longer than most.
Are you guys that answer different than me aware of the fact that some great doctors use gh in ONLY 3 injections to totally rebuild cartilage in an athletes joint?
Dave Palumbo knows the effect of gh and knows that 1 iu (actually 1 iu not 1.5) is only used today because of the side effects suffered by those that used more(2 iu or more) a day and they learned from others mistakes and by the girls that actually got the side effects and backed off to a lower dose because of it.... Also, just check the scientific literature on gh and see for your selves that an iu will (basically) raise igf 100 points.
Fact is that a legit diet (chix and veggis) will do much more than gh at a unite (actual unit) per day for fat loss NOT health.
Jersey girl, you never answer my question, do you think, now that you've seen my pix, that I know what I'm talking about, hahahahah. "Don't be so quick to assume", like Big O's avatar says in this thread.
People ask a question and when they don't get the answer they want they assume you don't know what your talking about.
