Firstly, non of what I’m going to say is or should be taken as medical advice, its just a theory/discussion by me who is not qualified to give such medical advice. I am not responsible for what you do with this information. This post is not a guide or tutorial, nor is it meant to encourage anyone to attempt this. I’m simply sharing this for informational purposes only. I am not responsible for any harm, complications, or outcomes that may occur if someone chooses to replicate or act on this source.
-----------------------------------------------​
Introduction

HGH should be directionally proportionate with the users weight, its variable from person to person, a 120kg person would need twice the dose of a 60kg person in order to get the same result. In this guide all dosages and claims will be made upon a 70kg person, so do your math if you're wondering what the theorotical dosages would be for other weights.

First off, determine if you have a GH deficiency, or not. You can do this by getting bloodwork or going to an endocrinologist. This guide assumes that the 70kg, 18+ boy who will be adressed as “subject” does not have a significant deficiency.

Finally before starting, this guide is my evaluation of the provided sources, the most trustworthy option is doing your own research.

Why low dosage HGH could be worse than not taking any

Currently there are no reputable studies that prove low dosage gh is bad for you. However with other compounds that are naturally produced by the body, it was proven that if the dosage is not high enough, it could lower the natural production of the compound while not making up for the loss,

Therefore putting the user in to a worse position than before. Again, this is not proven to be the case with gh because it has not been researched enough, but by comparing it to other compounds I believe there is a high chance that this could be the case with hgh too.

The other compounds that do have studies which I cited are test, estrogen and thyroid hormone.

Determining Goal

By determining goal, we mean determining what is the most suitable and achievable result you are seeking from GH.

For example, our subject is 18, has a bone age of 16, and wants to grow taller, increase bonemass and lengthen clavicles, which are common reasons.

After setting a realistic and achievable goal it’s finally time to calculate the dosage.

Calculating Dosage

According to all of my research, if your goal is to maximize growth while keeping the risk as low as possible, the sweet spot is 0.1 IU per KG. Calculating this for our subject,

70 kilograms, 70 x 0.1 IU = 7 IU

Reconstitution

1mg of HGH is aprx 3 IU's

Lets say that the subject has a 10mg vial and adds 1mL of bac water to reconstitute the powder.
Calc


The vial now has aprx 30 IU’s of gh and 1 mL bac water.

To get 7 IU’s from this vial subject would have to take 0.233 mL out in to a syringe, because

30 IU’s / 7 IU’s = 4.285 (uses)
1mL / 4.285 (uses) = 0.233

If you do not want to bother with this math you can just use an online peptide calculator, just make sure it’s set to hgh.

Timeline

The timeline for hgh is very simple tbh not even worth making a subsection,

The most used range is around 4-8 months,

Pinned aprx 2 (or less) hours before bed, depending on the person.

Sources

This is it, I hope my guide was helpful and reach out if you have any questions. Once again, you can check out my sources. And do your own research. This is just my evaluation. It is not medical advice in any way, I’m not qualified to give any.

The sole purpose of this guide is to give information to people who are seeking it.

Thanks for reading it.

You cant calculate your dose by weight and even then more=better

More gh is ofcourse better for results, Personally speaking this is the sweet spot for me considering the risk included. I’m also a beginner and new to pinning.

It’s the equivalent of pinning 5 units, consider the purity of the rhGH you have + the bioavailability of the compound itself, and this amount gets even lower if you pin it IM instead of SubQ

this is just assuming the user has a 99.5+ purity Sermorelin and pins 7 IU subq like me tho.

Sermorelin isn't rhGH, did i misunderstand something or? Pinning 7iu doesn't change biavailability though, it's just how the drug is you cant get 100% bioavailability. You're pinning 5.6 units based on this.

Thats my fault confused threads, I did infact mean hgh not sermo.

yes u cant get 100% bioavailability but the studies I slurped this info from didn’t convert pinned units in to actual units, so my view still remains unchanged

I believe that 7 IU’s is the best starter amount
