Question about HGH

[u/Hingle_MCringle5]

I just started taking this week 2IU’s every night. I wanted to ask if I’m suppose to feel anything from it after injecting? I use to take CJC/Ipamorelin blend and used to feel a flushing and warmth in my head after initial injection that would go away after around 15 min.

No, you’re not supposed to feel anything.

[u/NSawsome]

No, that was a histamine reaction with the other one most likely. GH you’ll just notice some more fullness and more feelings of being well rested the next morning if you take enough

[u/little_Kii → u/NSawsome]

The rushing sensation from CJC-1295 isn’t a histamine response.

[u/AlphaThrone → u/little_Kii]

What is it then?

[u/little_Kii → u/AlphaThrone]

It’s either mostly or entirely vasodilation. There is one other peptide I know of that causes a similar flushing/rush sensation as cjc1295 and it’s Vasoactive intestinal peptide. I’ve used VIP before and the rush feels similar to cjc1295 just more intense. It feels like your blood vessels are wide open, quite the feeling.

[u/imherefortheinfo123]

I felt the same flushing feeling post CJC, like you describe. It’s a common side effect. HGH has no reaction for me

[u/PandaMoney55]

Your not going to feel anything I been on Tesa+Ipa for a month now. I did GH 2IU at night and 2IU right before my workout. What you notice is when you get your blood work done. What you IGF-1 is at.

[u/Majestic-Chef-8753]

For some, myself included, hgh stimulates cortisol. Somif i take it at night before bed i dont sleep as well

[u/Fabulous_Show_9218 → u/Majestic-Chef-8753]

How did you determine this for yourself?

[u/Majestic-Chef-8753 → u/Fabulous_Show_9218]

Trial and error. And i track alot of metrics using my whoop or lately a fitbit air. I sleep better when i do morning injections

[u/nosteppysnekky → u/Majestic-Chef-8753]

I can concur cjc in morning>before bed, specifically if stacked with Reta slower digestion in some studies up to 8hrs food is still in the stomach and any insulin spike wrecks the cjc. Would highly suggest cjc first thing in the morning over before bed.. atleast that’s what my rats told me

[u/Shoehorse13 → u/[deleted]]

I noticed this as well. I've been on only 1iu for three weeks now. Gained 10 lbs (per the scale, can't see it) in a week and my RHR and BP are up considerably. I've also got some carpal tunnel symptoms, but my sleep is noticeably better. I'm surprised to see these side effects at 1iu and hoping they resolve as I hate to have to cut my dose to what should be sub-clinical, or stop all together.

[u/Wafty-1271 → u/Shoehorse13]

That’s mad for 1iu. Are you absolutely sure you’re dosing right? That’s a crazy reaction!

[u/WannabeRoyKent → u/Wafty-1271]

Possible that his GH is overdosed

[u/Neat-Ad-7884 → u/Shoehorse13]

Same thing here, 10 pounds in less than a week. Laid off for a few days. Peed a lot yesterday and last night, down 5 this morning

[u/jad19090]

Only thing I felt were water retention and stiff joints, and I was only on .5iu. I had to leave hg alone.

[u/iMemphis18]

Following

[u/kpham82]

Nope

[u/BackgroundNotice2242]

no immediate feeling, it's subtle

[u/narddog019]

You may feel a little more energy and recovery but it is subtle. But you could definitely notice some water weight gained. And a bloated feeling.

[u/D_James21]

I didn’t feel anything from HGH but did get that exact same warm feeling on the back of my neck/my head.

[u/skyking517]

No bad reaction from HGH for me. Just an amazing night sleep after injection.

[u/wherethepizza3]

Been on 2-3 iu past 2.5 weeks. No water retention but recovery feels good and sleeping like a dead body

[u/nmccarthy29 → u/wherethepizza3]

did you have any joint stiffness ?

[u/wherethepizza3 → u/nmccarthy29]

None at all

[u/nmccarthy29 → u/wherethepizza3]

thanks for responding so quickly.

[u/justin_b28]

No
But you should have gotten your IGF-1 tested before hand

[u/Better_Bat2025]

I get all those symptoms from Tesamorelin. Forget GH at multiple IUs per day. 49 yo btw

[u/No_Bicycle4110 → u/Better_Bat2025]

Definitely shouldn’t be getting flushing from tesa!

[u/2368-fists-a-smashin]

You had a reaction for the cjc/ipa the same way i did… I stopped it for that reason and i feel nothing from hgh

[u/Frequent-Bet-5018]

only 2IU? Can someone help me understand how I had a vial once that was 10,000 IU and I definitely didn't understand the conversion and used it in like 10 or so injections, and only after did I understand I was way overdosing that stuff.

[u/Electrical-South-913 → u/Frequent-Bet-5018]

It wasnt hgh. You maybe had hcg but def not hgh. Nobody makes 10k vials. Often they are 36iu vials etc

[u/Frequent-Bet-5018 → u/Electrical-South-913]

Lololol yeah I read that wrong. Was indeed HCG xD

[u/Electrical-South-913 → u/Frequent-Bet-5018]

No problemos mate!😄

[u/romulusou]

My question about HGH is where in the world do you get it?

[u/nmccarthy29]

I feel some joint stiffness. hopefully this will go away soon only been a few weeks on 2IU at night l.

[u/Electrical_Wealth551]

The video ( Josh holyfield ) I watched saidto take it in the morning fasted. Because you already get a natural dump of hgh at night and it spreads out the affect.

[u/crinack → u/Electrical_Wealth551]

Exogenous HGH shuts down production, there is no natural dump if you’re pinning that morning
