Has anyone taken HGH via IV? There would be a much higher concentration in the bloodstream, since I would imagine that there isn't 100% absorbtion doing subQ injections.

How about IV test suspension? I read once that Ken Patera did this before some of his lifts.

id imagine it all will evetually get absorbed, and with how long hgh is run for, it shouldnt be an issue.

also im sure sub q gives a more steady release, and thats what we want.

but id like to see the study still

IV would signifigantly decrease the halflife of the GH. It goes from 2 hours, down to 0.6 hours if taken IV instead of Subq.

which means a lot more injections are necessary. In theory, it is more effective, but you'd have to inject it more often, and IV injections 2-3 times a day are rough and leave track marks unless you have a painful catheter in you.

Also, it depends on waht kind of GH you're using. Getting a staph or a bacterial infection from an IV injection can kill you in less than a week. That sort of sucks if you ask me.

Also, wherever you shoot IV, it'll more than likely leave a painful welt, and you'll have to cycle through different veins.

IV, good in theory, but not in real life.

I'm debating IM or Subq now though, don't know which to try.

SubQ gets my vote,it's a protien just like insulin so SubQ seems to make more sense,plus that way you also benifit from the local effect on subQ fat reduction.

That's what i was thinking. I knew there was a reason i was gona do subq and it was for the localized fat loss.
