Eat soon after you take it...the release of IGF-1 from the liver will help shuttle the nutrients from the food into your cells. Eating does not affect the efficacy of GH.

Maybe you can eat soon after injecting, but I have read in several places that it is best shot on an empty stomach. Furthermore, any alcohol in your system is likely to block GH's positive effects.

I've heard "gurus" say one hr before and 2hrs after a meal is optimal. I have tried every which way, first thing am on empty stomach, at night before bed, middle of the night, after meals, with meals, multiple times daily. Fact is if the GH is real it will work no matter when you take it as long as you take enough, for long enough.

My dosing is usually just before meal 1 and post workout.

Good to know. I've always wondered how something in the gut can "block" GH. I'm now using peptides, which are working, and I think the empty stomach protocol in this case is necessary.

Try to have your shot without any carbs. GH can increase your insulin resistance so you don't want carbs to close to your shot.

Yes, Milos recommends that protocol.

100% truth....doesnt matter...it is actually better to take it with food because of the the reason i posted above. Especially the first shot of the day which is when you are most catabolic you want to take your GH shot and eat breakfast.

I think it depends on what you are using it for doesnt it? If for fat loss then an empty stomach is helpful I believe, but for muscly gains I hear that not only should you eat, but insulin is also useful to help in the conversion to igf-1 in the liver. So if you dont care about igf-1 and are only looking for fat loss then I hear its best without food.

GH can increase insulin resistance over time which is very dose and duration dependant...this has nothing to do with eating carbs with your GH shot. GH doesnt make you insulin resistant periodically....if you become insulin resistant from GH usage...which I highly doubt anyone on here has...you will need to take endogenous insulin to maintain a muscle building state. Taking your GH away from carbs will not change the fact that you are insulin resistant...you will still be insulin resistant so it really doesnt matter when you take your GH shot, with carbs or without.

hey P

i am taking protein and carbs (both fast acting usually whey isolate with waxy maize ) about 30 mins after my morning GH shot. im not throwing in any fats at this point due to igf-1 ability to shuttle fats, is this correct? or should i be throwing some fats into that shake aswell?

is 30 mins an okay window after my shot to take the isolate/waxy maize shake?

i will only be using it for staying lean on my bulker and injecting it all at once in the morning since ill be going no higher than 3.3 iu at this time its all i can afford.

thanks.

Taking it all at once in the morning to help keep lean is fine. Take your GH then have a normal balanced breakfast...ie eggs and oatmeal etc...eating fats with this meal will not hamper fat loss etc. All my clients including myself take their morning GH shot with breakfast while precontest dieting and have no issues getting lean...ie striated glutes lean.
