This cycle of human growth hormone is designed to assist beginner athletes in achieving a more defined physique. The dosages and combinations are taken from scientific literature and are systematically used by athletes in various sports. They are recognized as the most effective and rational.

Who are these growth hormone cycles suitable for?

Growth hormone can be used by both men and women over the age of 20 (younger individuals may experience asymmetrical bone development) to enhance muscle definition. Overall body mass increases only slightly, mainly due to significant fat loss.

Side effects during and after the course are rarely observed, and they are generally reversible.

For individuals with diabetes

The course for people with diabetes should be conducted with strict monitoring of blood sugar levels, as growth hormone acts as an antagonist to insulin. This can create a conflict in the absence of endogenous insulin production and the usual “supplementation” from exogenous insulin. In other words, insulin use should be adjusted during the growth hormone course. It is likely correct to pay close attention to blood sugar tests using a glucometer during the first two to three weeks (diabetics are familiar with this process). Typically, when taking growth hormone in regular doses (up to 10 IU per day), the insulin dosage may need to be increased by 1-3 units before (20-30 minutes) each meal. This adjustment should not pose significant difficulty for diabetics.

Earlier in this article, it was suggested to completely prohibit the use of growth hormone for diabetics, but this is fundamentally incorrect. Considering the positive factors growth hormone offers for people with diabetes, its use can be a serious support in the fight against the disease. It can significantly contribute to the rejuvenation and regeneration of internal organs and metabolic systems. Growth hormone increases the amount of glucose in the blood, so caution should be exercised in individuals with arterial hypertension (as growth hormone may raise blood pressure). Often, reducing salt (sodium chloride) intake can help mitigate this issue. Before starting any growth hormone course, it is important to consult a doctor.

Cycle #1

Goal: Achieving muscle definition while maintaining sufficient muscle mass. The effects include rejuvenation, increased muscle firmness, and improved skin quality.

 

Recommendations and Protocol for Growth Hormone Use

Before starting a course of growth hormone, it is recommended to undergo testing for tumor markers: CA19-9, CA72-4, Cyfra 21-1, AFP (Alpha-fetoprotein), and CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen). If any tumor marker levels are abnormal, the course of growth hormone is contraindicated, and an oncologist check-up is necessary.

Dosage and Administration:

  • Starting Dose: Begin with 5 IU per day, administering 1 injection subcutaneously. Higher frequency does not offer any additional benefits.
  • Increase to 10 IU: After 2-3 weeks, if no side effects occur, the dosage can be increased to 10 IU per day, split into two injections. Larger doses are not recommended.
  • Optimal Time for Injection: The best time for injection is on an empty stomach, approximately 0.5 to 1 hour before eating, when glucose levels are at their lowest, preferably in the morning. The first injection is generally done immediately after waking up, or post-workout.
  • Duration: The optimal course length is 3-6 months. Shorter courses may not show significant results, while prolonged courses are not recommended due to the risk of tolerance (antibodies may form that bind to growth hormone) and potential side effects like acromegaly.

Additional Recommendations:

  • Thyroid Function: Since growth hormone can suppress thyroid function, it’s recommended to take Thyroxine at a dose of 25 mcg per day throughout the course to improve safety and effectiveness (Thyroxine also has a strong fat-burning effect).
  • Blood Sugar Control: Higher doses of growth hormone (over 5 IU per day) may increase blood sugar levels and potentially lead to diabetes. To manage this, insulin may be added to the course to maintain normal blood sugar levels, though it should be used with caution to avoid hypoglycemic coma. Regular monitoring of blood sugar with a portable glucometer is advised (measure 2-3 times per day). After consulting with an endocrinologist, Metformin (Glucophage, Glucophage Long) may be considered as a milder alternative to insulin and also promotes faster fat burning.
  • Exercise: It is recommended to use a comprehensive sports nutrition plan to enhance definition. Additionally, aim for 2-3 strength training sessions and 2-3 aerobic sessions per week.

Alternative Protocol:

An alternative method involves taking a lower dose (2.5-3 IU per day) over a longer period. While the effect is slower, this approach tends to be gentler on the body and acts as a form of maintenance therapy without significant side effects.

HGH + Steroids

Goal: Achieving muscle definition and mass gain. The effects include rejuvenation, increased muscle firmness, and improved skin quality.

<pInclude anabolic steroids:
The best synergy with growth hormone comes from combining it with anabolic steroids like Testosterone Enanthate (250-500 mg per week), Sustanon 250 (250 mg per week), or Boldenone (400 mg per week). Anabolic steroids are typically administered for 8 weeks. These steroids will help increase muscle mass significantly through muscle growth while simultaneously burning fat. Many athletes agree that this course is one of the most powerful due to the synergistic effect. At the same time, the combination of steroids and growth hormone is relatively safe for health, as these groups of drugs have different mechanisms of action, allowing for moderate doses without disrupting hormonal balance. Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) is required after the steroid cycle.

If muscle definition is your priority, consider using Anavar (30-50 mg per day) or Winstrol (30 mg per day) instead of the steroids listed above. These drugs have a lesser ability to stimulate muscle growth but are far more effective for burning excess fat and achieving dense, defined muscles.

Diet and Training:

  • Diet: Follow a diet focused on muscle mass gain.
  • Training Program: Train with a program tailored to steroid use (Specific training adjustments for those on steroids).

Alternative Approach:

An alternative is to use growth hormone immediately after the anabolic steroid cycle (both for mass gain and cutting). This helps preserve muscle mass while improving muscle definition.

HGH + Fat burners

Effect: Fat burning with the goal of achieving a defined physique. Rejuvenation effects, increased muscle firmness, and improved skin quality.

  • Take Cycle #1 as base
  • Take Thyroxine at a dose of 100-200 mcg per day, divided into 3 doses: morning, afternoon, and evening before 6 PM. This amount of Thyroxine has a pronounced fat-burning effect. Higher doses are not recommended due to the risk of side effects, and they can lead to muscle breakdown. The Thyroxine dosage should be titrated: start with 50 mcg per day, then increase the dose by 25 mcg every other day until you reach the recommended dose. If side effects occur, reduce the dose of Thyroxine. Do not take Thyroxine for more than 1 month, and then gradually decrease the dose by 25 mcg every other day until discontinuation.
  • Alternative Components may be Clenbuterol and Ephedrine. These drugs can significantly accelerate fat burning, but they also increase the risk of side effects. Be cautious when using these substances and ensure you monitor your health closely.
  • To maximize the effectiveness of this cycle, you should:
    • Follow a diet: Maintain a moderate-calorie diet (one that neither causes weight gain nor weight loss in a typical state). Reduce the intake of fast carbs and fats. Aim for at least 250 grams of protein per day. Drink plenty of fluids.
    • Exercise: Perform 1-2 strength training sessions per week using a split program, as well as 2-4 aerobic sessions lasting at least 1 hour each.

How to dissolve Growth Hormone

Growth hormone is typically available only in the form of lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. The amount of powder should be indicated on the vial, either in units (IU) or milligrams (mg). If the amount is listed in milligrams, it can be converted into units using the following formula: 1 mg = ~3 IU (more accurately, 1 mg = 2.7 IU). In our descriptions, we will use the formula 1 mg = 3 IU, as this is the standard formula used by most manufacturers.

solution process

  • Sterilize the Vials:
    Take a cotton ball, moisten it with alcohol, and wipe the rubber stoppers of both the growth hormone vial and the vial with the liquid you will use to reconstitute the powder (bactericidal water, sterile water, or Vitamin B12).
  • Prepare the Syringe:
    Take a 3 ml syringe with a 1” or 1.5” needle. Attach the needle to the syringe and draw the required amount of liquid for reconstituting the powder. The exact volume of liquid is not critical, but it is important to remember the amount you used for proper measurements. The key rule is to use enough liquid to make the reconstituted solution easy to measure.For example:

    • If you use 1 ml (1 cubic centimeter) of liquid for 10 IU of growth hormone powder, every 10th mark on a U100 syringe will equal 1 IU of growth hormone.
    • If you use 2 ml of liquid for 10 IU of powder, every 20th mark on the U100 syringe will equal 1 IU.
    • If you use 3 ml of liquid for 10 IU of powder, every 30th mark on the U100 syringe will equal 1 IU.
  • Inject the Liquid into the Vial:
    Take the syringe with the liquid and inject it into the lyophilized powder at an angle, ensuring that the needle touches the wall of the vial. The liquid should flow from the needle and run down the wall of the vial rather than directly onto the powder. Do this slowly and steadily, without rushing.
  • Dissolve the Powder:
    Once all the reconstitution liquid has been added to the growth hormone powder, gently swirl the vial (do not shake it forcefully) until the powder fully dissolves. The solution should be clear and free from any particles. Your growth hormone is now ready for use.
  • Storage:
    After reconstitution, store the growth hormone vial in the refrigerator. If you used bactericidal water, the reconstituted hormone can be used within three weeks. If you used sterile water, it can be used for up to five days (many manufacturers recommend 72 hours).

Instructions for Administering an Injection

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap.
  2. Draw the medication into an insulin syringe.
  3. Pinch the skin with your left hand to create a fold on your abdomen.
  4. Insert the needle at a 45º angle to the fold of the skin.
  5. Inject the medication and then remove the needle.
  6. Do not inject in the same spot repeatedly.

Note: It is not necessary to treat the injection site with alcohol when using insulin syringes, as recommended by doctors. The puncture is small enough that infection is unlikely to occur.
