GH Thigh SubQ Shots

[PRGro]

Sup Guys,

I know most people around here swear strictly by abdomen SubQ shots when it comes to GH. Nevertheless, I believe it is wise to switch around your injection sites in order to avoid scarring, etc. I have been trying to do this by switching between my stomach and thighs.

From what I have researched so far, GH doesn't cause fat to burn until it is processed by the liver. The GH fragments are what actually prevent fat buildup around the injection site; this is why so many report localized fat reduction.

Additionally, the abdomen seems to absorb GH the best, whereas the thighs tend to result in faster absorption (all these theories are based on insulin site absorption rates).

I would love to hear from you guys any thoughts on switching around ab and thigh injection sites for HGH. Should the corporal response be similar, is one preferred over the other? Any additional thought? I'm sure this has been discussed in the boards before. I did a search but didn't quite find what I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

I found the following study which finds that although GH is better absorbed through the abdomen, the IGF-1 increases are similar for both sites.

subjects
Eleven healthy young adults (8 M, 3 F).

results Following the injection serum GH had risen by 1 hour and peaked by 3–6 hours. The peak GH and growth hormone area under the curve were significantly higher after injection in the abdomen compared with the thigh (GH peak (mean±SEM) 103.20 vs 41 .8 mU/l, P= 0.002 and GH area 528.88 vs 239.34 mU/l h, P= 0.003 respectively). Serum insulin-like growth factor I at 12 and at 24 hours showed a significant rise from the baseline level, but no significant difference was observed between the two injection sites. No significant difference in plasma insulin, glucose, non-esterified fatty acids or glycerol was observed between the two methods of injection.

2 years of GH/peptide injections in abdomen every day. No scarring. If you are rotating around your stomach you should not get scarring.

6 months doing the same...getting tired of doing it, but no scars or anything...using a 30g pin and going from top of abs down to just above waist band area on right and left side...started trying to do love handles but that hurts so pretty rare that I do it.

I have been doing GH shots SQ around the perimeter of my belly button. I almost feel like someone could tell I was administering sub q injections just by looking at my abdomen. I think I will change up my injection sites more and include my upper abdominals and external obliques. Interesting thread...

How so? What would be the physical tell tales people would notice? This sounds interesting. I know GH can cause lipoatrophy but this seems to be a very rare side, slightly more common in experimental long lasting versions of GH.

Hemi,

Have you had any problems with 30g pins? Everybody seems to go with 29g but I am definitively open to trying thinner. Any clogs? 29g is usually painless...

What kind of problems? Hell i use 31G BD's.they are the shit. I use the 30G for IM injections post workout. The smaller the pin the better IMO. Less chance of scar tissue.Although,i dont see you getting much with 29's either.
