150 IGF-1 on 5iu daily

[Damaged1]

I have been taking 5iu daily HGH and i just got bloodwork done and my IGF-1 is 150.

I know this is too low for someone taking good growth.

I posted this on the HGH source forum and was told that some of the other compounds i am taking including tren could bring that number down and that i shouldn't worry about it.

I think it could be true but since i was on the sources forum i wanted to get a second or third opinion just in case.

Open to ideas.

Yes, slight deficit carb cycling lower carb diet. Taking reta as well.

i know from experience, that when i was in a defecit , my igf1 was lower , not as low as your , but i went from a 215igf1 to a 398igf1 by just eating in a slight surplus, and from 4 ius to 5 ius

Have you checked liver ?

I score 400+ on 5iu tren or not

Another thing to consider is IGF-1 in the bloodstream doesn't necessarily mean you don't have more IGF-1 in the muscle tissue, where it counts. Perhaps comparing it to a baseline value would do you some good

This is on 5.5 IUs per day. Numbers on right are IGF without GH. I had another one after this that my IGF was only 188, but I can't find it. As you see, my IGF doesn't go up much on real GH. My body composition however changes a lot.

If you are still unsure about GH, pin 10 IUs in shoulder with slin pin, 3 hours later get GH serum blood test. Do on empty stomach.

Your e2 level also affects igf-1. I was running 6iu, and had a 75 igf-1 level. Did the quick and dirty serum test same day, and the result was 55, so I knew the GH was good. My e2 was 12 at the time.
