DISCLAIMER — EDUCATIONAL ONLY
Research compounds carry legal and medical risk. Consult a licensed endocrinologist before touching a vial.

1 – Prereqs (don’t skip retard or you waste money)​

  1. Prerequisites
    • Bone age ≤ 17 y 0 m (X-ray)
    • Tanner late-III – early-IV
    • Baseline labs: ultrasensitive E2, total & free T, IGF-1, CMP, CBC, lipid panel
    • Body-fat 10-15 % (don’t cut lower until after height cycle)

2 – Compounds & dosing​


CompoundTarget bloodsCalculating your doseNotes
r-hGHIGF-1 450-500 ng/mL (≤ +2 SDS for age) pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov0.040-0.042 mg · kg⁻¹ · day⁻¹IU/day ≈ 0.057 × body-wt (lb)
(you might need to check igf1 via blood test if you respond higher or lower but this dose is for average responders)
Pin nightly pre-bed. Split AM/PM if >10 IU.
Exemestane (suicide AI)Keep E2 15-20 pg/mLDraw blood to see your Testosterone to e2 aromatization levels

Check your aromatization by pulling your baseline Total and Free Testosterone and E2

For me: Total-T is ~900 ng/dL and Free-T ~26 ng/dL

a quarter-tab (6.25 mg) of exemestane Monday + Friday typically lands my E2 in the 15-20 pg/mL sweet spot.
Irreversibly binds aromatase; new enzyme appears after ~72 h

rHGH dosing example: 140 lb (63.5 kg)
GH = 0.042 mg × 63.5 = 2.67 mg ≈ 8 IU/d → IGF-1 ≈ 475-500 ng/mL pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov


3 – Example Weekly protocol​

DayAMPMNotes
Mon½ GH dose + 6.25 mg exemestane½ or full GH dose by 9 pm sleep by 10First AI hit
Tue½ GH½ or full GH dose by 9 pm sleep by 10
Wed½ GH½ or full GH dose by 9 pm sleep by 10No AI unless E2 lab > 25 pg/mL
Thu½ GH½ or full GH dose by 9 pm sleep by 10
Fri½ GH + 6.25 mg exemestane½ or full GH dose by 9 pm sleep by 10Second AI hit
Sat-Sun½ GH½ or full GH dose by 9 pm sleep by 10
dont split your rhgh dose unless your bw is high enough to need 10 or more ius for 500 igf1
if you need anything below 10 ius one single injection before bed is fine


4 – Monitoring​

WhenWhat to checkGreen zone
Every 4–6 wkUltrasens E215-20 pg/mL
Every 3 moIGF-1450-500 ng/mL
Every 6 moBone age X-rayAdvance ≤ 0.6 y per cal-yr
QuarterlyLipids / fasting glucoseLDL < 130 mg/dL, Glu < 100 mg/dL
Red-flag: dry joints, zero libido, crushed HDL → skip next AI; E2 is too low.

6 – Side-effect game plan​

RiskMitigation
Edema / carpal tunnelSplit GH dose; drop 1 IU if edema > 5 days.
Glucose ↑Fasted glucose >100 → add 500 mg berberine AM + PM.
Lipids (LDL ↑, HDL ↓)2 g EPA/DHA + cut sat-fat; if LDL > 150 → niacin or statin.
Estradiol crash (<10 pg/mL)Skip next AI, resume 6.25 mg 1×/wk.
Acne / oily skinMeans E2 climbing; verify with lab before adding Wed AI.
Plate fusion sprintIf bone-age jumps >1 y in 6 mo, raise AI only to 6.25 mg Wed (3×/wk).


7 – Lifestyle boosters (free gains)​

  • Protein ≥ 1 g/lb & +300 kcal surplus for IGF-1 responsiveness.
  • Sleep 8-9 h GH pulses = bone growth.
  • No drinking or vaping – both blunt GH receptor signalling.
  • No screens 2 hours before bed for peak melatonin

8 – Cycle exit​

  • When bone age hits 18+ y or height velocity < 0.5 cm in 6 mo, taper GH 1 IU per week to zero to restart pituitary gland you can also do low dose mk677
  • Drop AI; re-check E2 after 4 wk – allow it to float 25-35 pg/mL for joint health.


9 – Quick FAQ​

QA
Do I need 10+ IU GH for more height?Depends on your bodyweight but any dose for you that brings your IGF-1 above 500 ng/mL gains flat-line while sides climb pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Letrozole or anastrozole instead of exemestane?Both work but require daily dosing and cause bigger lipid crash; exemestane’s suicide binding lets you coast on 2 doses / wk.
Can I start at Tanner V?Data show minimal added height once plates are >90 % fused; you’re risking sides for <1 cm.
Why not aromasin EOD?Depends on your aromatization conversion.
