I wanted to put some of this out there to maybe help some people who, like me, had no idea about any of this before coming to this site.
I have been using MC IGF-1 for about 3 weeks now at 40-50 mcg per day. I decided to try it primarily to help heal chronic 'golfer's elbow', having read all the studies and articles I could find on the subject. So far no real results in that department, however, I asked the sports medicine doc I saw today about it and his response was, "It's good, but not legal in the US. You get a 'shotgun approach' here in the US. Why, can you get it?" I told him yes but didn't answer when he asked me where. His 'shotgun approach' comment was a description of another injection treatment that uses platelets. Anyhow, I'm hopeful that I'll get the results I'm after.
Meanwhile, I've been slowly working on losing the fat around the middle while trying to preserve muscle through diet and cardio. That is working: I am down from 204 with a soft "4-pack" to roughly 190 a week and a half or so ago, with "5 and 6" starting to show up to join the 4-pack.
Now to the IGF -1 result: I've noticed this week that I picked up a few lbs. I'm back up to 193, 195 or so. So I've been looking gard in the mirror and paying attention to how my pants fit, and I'm definitely not getting fatter. I realized today that I must be seeing results from the IGF-1. Pretty happy with that. It encourages me that I might get good results with this tendonitis as well.
I have found that when I inject my biceps or triceps, I get a bruise that takes weeks to go away, but larger muscles like glutes or quads never bruise. Shoulders sometimes bruise, but not usually. So I've stopped with the bis and tris and just go for the bigger muscles that don't bruise. I tries sub q in the abdomen, too, and got a lump and a bruise from that, too.
Also, started out with 25 gauge by 1" insulin pins, but it seems like so much stays in the needle. The stuff ain't exactly cheap, and the doses are so small, I got 29 x 1/2" and find that it's a lot easier to measure the small amount in the smaller barrel, and much less is lost to the needle. I also hoped the smaller needle wouldn't bruise, but it does.
I apply it every day in the morning when I get up; I could probably get better results if I did it 30 or 40 minutes pre workout, like I see lots of guys (and gals) here say, but if I don't do it as part of my routine, I forget.
I have experienced the incredible, almost painful pumps when applied to bis, tris or shoulder. Since I usually work out in the morning, I figure the wakeup routine application is close enough.
That's my experience so far. Going to have to pick some more up soon, to make sure I don't run out. Want to make sure I run it for 8 weeks minimum. Then, I may bump the dose up 10 or so mcg, or take a 3 week break before starting again. I'm thinking keep running it until the elbow gets better.
