Igf1, water retention and dosing

[KletoReese]

Hi guys! Anyone experience severe water retention while on Igf1?
Also I read that it is good to take anywhere from 20mcg to 50mcg split twice a day taken every 3rd day so as to avoid suppressing the body's own production?
Thanks in advance!

Never had hat happen to me' been taking it three years now and it's been amazing, a real game changer......never any water retention at all and I run 200 mcgs a day as well as run it all he way to contest time then apply 600mcgs half hour before pre ding.....onion skin shredded and vascular area, chest back and quads......is your diet on serious point? Low sodium? Sugars?.........never heard of anyone having water retention issues.

Hmmm... No idea what's going on. I'm also onTest Prop and Winny. I'm doing a cut but the retention is ridiculous. I'm looking like a human cotton ball. Do you pin every day?

Back off on the dose, 4 weeks ago I started with 60mcg and wokeup with puffy face puffy eyes and severe water retention, dropped dose to 20mcg and then upped from there, at 40mcg now and I am dry..

Never had that problem. 100mcg pre workout, split bi laterally.

Thanks Brother! Will drop back to 20 and take it from there. Seriously I like a human cotton ball, I'm extremely puffy.

 

[KletoReese]

Are doses done daily or every 3rd day?

I apply every day 200 mcgs...I am also taking test prop with winny....as well as tren and mastron.....never had any water retention issues....maybe the test p you're taking isnt really test p.....did you get it from a reliable source or used it before....most likley its not real...

So many people are so different, you're lucky you stay dry on 200mcgs, I have read medical studies that in some cases igf can cause severe water retention, and in some others dehydration.. Strange, though I even retain water in tren not because of tren , but because I'm allergic to it! I still run it anyways tho

No problem bro, better to start off low anyways, as desensitization sets in quickly with igf1 as receptors downgrade, the more you take the more you need, also some people see guy enlargement with high doses. I know many national level competitors and even a couple pros who use 40mcg max, heck I even know one who never exceeds 10mcg and sees gains. Everyone responds differently, find the dose that works for you!!

I know I can't handle very high doses. So far my max is 50mcg. I will stop for two weeks and go back on it again at a low dose. May I ask what your diet is like while on?

Thanks Brother! I got the Prop from a reliable source. Perhaps I'll reduce the Prop dosage. I have been meaning to ask you this, are you taking T4 while on igf1?

That could be the issue brutha

What could be the issue Bro? High dosage of Propionate? If so should I reduce it to 100 every other day?

I usually carb cycle, what aromatize inhibitor are you using? And what dosage? What other gear are you using?

Are you using an AI? This could be your problem. If your already using one then up the dose a little. I wouldn't lower your prop dose.

If you look puffy it's either 2 things. 1 diet. Or 2 anti-e . Where is the igf from?

I carb cycle too. Test Prop dosage was 600mg per week and Adex 3mg per week, too much and my joints hurt.

I'm using 600mg of Test Prop per week with 1mg Adex every other day. I will lower the dose to 300mg and gauge myself.

My diet is Keto and carb backload in the evening after igf pinning.
