Fat loss: hIGF-1 vs hLR3IGF-1 vs hGH
Hello everyone. I am a new member here and am impressed with the number of knowledgeable athletes.
I have used regular human IGF-1 in the past, not the long R3 form. This was as part of a clinical trial for a biotech firm. My dose was about 7mg/day SQ injections that I self administered either in one dose or split up into two equally divided doses. My results, with no change in diet or exercise, seemed to lean more towards fat loss than muscle gain.
I have also used hGH in the past. It was legit NutropinAQ from Genentech. My doses ran anywhere from 5 to 20 IU a day. Yes, up to 20 IU/ day. Initially, at the lower doses I garnered great body recompisition effects. Much leaner with more muscle "volume". However, as I increased my doseage I seemed to get diminishing returns with some attenuation of effect after a while.
I am wondering, for those that have tried both hGH and lr3IGF-1, which do you feel proffered better fat loss, irrespective of muscle gain?
Also, why do many on here reccommend IM injections for IGF-1? SQ should work just fine. Am I missing something here? Thanks.
