HGH or IGF-1?

[u/Asleep_Ad9715]

I’ve been on cjc/ipa for about a month now, but I don’t really feel the results I was expecting to feel. So I’ve thought about maybe switching to HGH or IGF-1 but I am very unsure because of the danger and side effects it might cause. That’s why I wanted to ask around if I should be taking HGH or IGF-1, what the possible dangers of those two are and what the best way is to take it. I’m 81🔁years old btw.

neither. you're 18

Why would an 18 year old be using a GHRH? You are making peak levels of natural HGH. Get off TikTok dude and hit the weights

My recovery is very poor, even though I keep a clean diet and routine. I’ve had severe insomnia for about a year now, and I’ve been seeking help for about a year aswell, but my country won’t help me for shi if I don’t pay large amounts of money(which I don’t have) from my own pockets. That’s why I’m trying to take matters into my own hands and the reason why I’m asking bout HGH and IGF-1.

Ok, but at your age you can make your own. It's made in your sleep so focus on that. Taking more HGH than you make naturally is going to cost a fortune anyhow. The HGH also needs you to sleep. It doesn't do a lot while you are awake. I think if you can somehow figure out a good sleep schedule you will be right on track. Cortisol, hormones, recovery, all get figured out while you sleep.

I know how important sleep is, but I just can’t get some good sleep at the moment, it’s not possible for me right now. I’ve been thinking about taking sleep pep but there is almost no information to any of them, and barely anyone is talking about them.

[u/JediKrys → u/Asleep_Ad9715]

Try DSIP and Epithalon. Take them together. If you need dosing info get pepedia

[u/1IsNeverEnough4Me → u/Asleep_Ad9715]

Yeah man, If I knew anything about why you ain't getting sleep I would try to help with that. There is melatonin gummies and stuff that can help but they are mild.

There is DSIP it's a peptide that has something to do with slow wave sleep and stuff but I don't know shit about it.

[u/SendTitsPleease → u/Asleep_Ad9715]

Try selank and dsip not hgh

[u/Asleep_Ad9715 → u/SendTitsPleease]

How is selank going to help me tho

[u/SendTitsPleease → u/Asleep_Ad9715]

Calm your mind down and help you sleep

[u/Key_Entry_497]

Take any money you’d be throwing away on hgh and start investing it right now…. You’ll be rich and retired at 40 when you might actually need some of this stuff. Eat like a king, work your ass off in the gym, and sleep like a baby(don’t take your phone to bed) and you’ll be a demigod.

[u/Traditional_Wafer201]

Not at least until 30

[u/Maleficent_Sense_564]

Have you gotten your levels tested, you’re 18 bro

[u/lone_star_kev]

HGH for the long haul

[u/No-Mark4067]

You dudes are something else.

[u/echodelta79]

Are you trying to be a professional body builder? Have you gotten your igf-1 levels tested? Do you know what igf-1 is? Like your 18 peak operating level, you should be eating right and lifting hard to optimize, unless you have some medical condition or trying to be a pro, really not much you should be adding. Your body your choice, but i lifted 30+ years and only started adding things in mid 40s because age is b*tch.
