In the beginning people where cautious because they feared side-effects after continuous growth hormone use. And the price was very high also.
Nowadays we see that most discussion-boards have a peptide section. And it’s no longer restricted to GH and IGF. People that used the cadaver extracted GH, will tell you mixed GH is much more effective than the synthesized version. So people started to experiment with GH releasers aka secratogogues.
Research has overwhelming shown that when administering one GH peptide from each class in conjunction (GHRH + GHRP), a synergist effect is achieved, eliciting superior results compared to using just one alone. For this reason, it has been common practice to combine both a GHRH and a GHRP for years. This practice is well-founded, as it is backed not only by credible science, but by a massive amount of anecdotal evidence in terms of both personal experience and user blood work.
Because some bodybuilders wanted to mimic natural GH release they experiment with pulsing their dose in 2 or 3 injects per day. There are many different injection protocols with many different injection frequencies for GH releasers and combinations there off.
What remains true is that you will have to inject several times per day. This takes a lot of time, but you also have to go to the gym and prepare and eat several times per day and some of us have to go to school or work.
And these frequent injections often result in scar tissue, if you don’t inject right, don’t rotate injection spots etc.
Just like with bodybuilding nutrition, you can prepare your gear in advance. Once you know how to do it and have done it a few times it is pretty easy.
As shown on the pic the needles of the syringes bend very easy. The tiny little needles on the insulin syringe U100are not made to penetrate the septum (rubber stopper) of the peptide vial. They will be dull or bend after that and will cause much more tissue-damage and pain.
1.) We start with a 10 iu vial of growth hormone (somatropin), a 2 ml ampoule of bacteriostatic water, a 2 ml syringe and a U100 insulinsyringe.
2.) Remove the plastic cap from the top of the vial and clean the rubber with a medical alcohol pad/swab. Take the syringe and pull 1 ml of water into it.
3.) Inject the water in a 45 degree angle. Push the needle against the glass wall of the vial, so that the water will slide down the inside wall of the vial. Do not inject directly into the powder with force, rather let the water slide out slowly.The vial is under nitrogen vacuum to prevent oxidation (degradation). Thus the water is sucked with force into the vial.
4.) The powder should foam when it dissolves. The majority of the white powder will dissolve within seconds, but sometimes there will be some lumps left over. Do not shake the vial in an attempt to get them to dissolve. If you are in a hurry, you can gently roll the vial between your fingers. If you do this for a few minutes all of the powder will dissolve. Alternatively you can let the vial sit in the refrigerator for 15 - 30 minutes. By that time the somatropin will dissolve completely. Sometimes the powder doesn’t foam or just a little bit, this can be a sign that the vials doesn’t contain the real deal.
5.) Before pulling the liquid HGH into the insulin syringe, give the vial a few turns between your fingers to gently mix the solution. The HGH vials are under vacuum (negative air pressure) which makes it harder to pull the liquid out. To relieve the vacuum inject a full syringe of air into the top of the vial (do not make the liquid bubble). Then pull the reconstituted somatropin into the syringe.
7.) Slowly inject the reconstituted somatropin into the back of the U100 insulin-syringe.
8.) Close the back of the insulin-syringe with the plunger and rotate the insulin-syringe needle up.
9.) Now tap with your finger gently against the insulin-syringe until the air moves from the bottom of the syringe to the top. Now push the plunger upwards until you see a drop of liquid pushed through the needle. Now you syringe is ready to use.
10.) Growth hormone can be injected intramuscularly (IM) into pretty much any muscle or subcutaneously (SQ) - under the skin in the stomach fat area. Injections above the belly button are usually less painful than the ones below the belly button. A different spot should be used for each injection (to avoid potentially producing dents in the body fat - as hgh is believed to promote localized fat reduction).
For SQ injections, clean the skin with alcohol, wait a bit, then pinch the skin between your abs, fully insert the needle at a 30 - 45 degrees angle and inject your dose. For IM injections fully insert the needle into your shoulder or gluteus muscle and release the dose.
It is rumored that the SQ injections produce better effect due to the fact that HGH is more readily available from there. Personally I see no difference whether I inject IM or SQ. Injecting HGH intramuscularly is less unpleasant for me, so that's how I do it.
11.) I keep all syringes in a closed plastic container in the refrigerator door.
When in liquid form, the somatropin molecules are very fragile. They easily get destroyed by heat (even room temperatures) and vigorous shaking. Some precautions are necessary - do not inject the water directly into the powder with force, do not drop or shake a reconstituted vial, do not freeze it and do not leave it out of the refrigerator for longer than a few minutes. Keep the freeze dried (lyophilized) growth hormone vials refrigerated as well
