Why does GH cause water retention?

[Pushinw8s]

Does anyone know why GH causes water retention, and what can be done to combat it? I know some of it has to be dose related, but what about brand related? Does one brand make you hold more water than another? I've been taking 4 iu 5 on 2 off for about 4 weeks now, and I have put on 10 lbs, and I can feel the tightness in my hands, arms and shoulders from the water. Anyone have any ideas?

First you must always ramp up your dose. Start with 1iu and add 1iu each week. That will help with bloat. Also, cabergoline helps a lot. Take .5mg every 3-4days and that will help with the progesterone related bloat GH can give you. Keep sodium under control too.

HGH has been shown to raise prolactin levels in some. My mistake posting progesterone. Its prolactin, so caber will help. When I was on 4iu's GH I was taking .5mg caber 2x per week and my prolactin levels came out normal in my blood test, so they would have been high if I wasnt on cabergoline.
