Why Is IgF-1 Lower After Taking Ipamorelin and Mod GRF 1-29?

[Spartan1]

Would appreciate insight from the knowledgeable guys here.

I am 54 years old and take prescribed hormone replacement therapy (depo-testosterone, HCG, anastrozole) along with DHEA, vits, mins, and have regular blood tests to monitor hormone levels.

In May 2013, without any growth hormone therapy, my regular testing at Quest Labs showed IgF-1 of 136 (Ref Range 50 - 317 ng/mL) and IgFBP-3 of 3.2 (Ref Range 3.4 - 6.9 mg/L).

Since those results indicate that my GH level is well below optimal, I decided to try to improve things with Ipamorelin and Mod GRF 1-29 (CJC-1295 w/o DAC). I subq injected 100 mcg of each twice per day (total 200 mcg per day of each) for the 7 days before my recent blood test.

My recent test results were IgF-1 of 119 and IgFBP-3 of 3.6 (same Quest Lab, Ref Ranges, diet, exercise, and other hormone replacement).

Any thoughts on why IgF-1 is lower and what would help?

How long before the blood work did you dose your peptides?

I dosed them about 9 hours before the blood draw.

Might be a good idea to have blood drawn about 30 min post injection. Neither of these peptides has a 9 hour half life.

I thought the IGF can stay elevated for 2 weeks after HGH/peptides and it's the HG level that has to be measured 90min-2 hours after injection.

If you are taking them at night it is possible the small amount is enough to mess up you natural release pattern that MIGHT be better than the "altered" release of the IPAM/cjc

that's my theory.

Also People say huperzine A helps, and added aminos apart from food is always good too.
