GH intramuscular or subQ?

[Jonjon]

Is one method any better than the other when it comes to GH?

I've never really known anyone to do it IM, I've always been under the assumption SubQ was the standard administration method.

Starting to hear about more guys doing it IM. I’d definitely prefer subQ because my injection sites for IM take a beating as it is

Sub Q is the standard for a reason:

However, the absorbance profile and bioavailability of SC- and IM-injected hGH has shown inconsistencies. For example, hGH (1.3 mg/m2/day) reaches its peak plasma concentration (Tmax) at 2 and 4 hours and returns to its baseline after 9 and 18 hours following IM and SC injections, respectively. Accordingly, the available time for absorption of hGH following IM injection is not long enough to provide physiologically-relevant plasma levels by daily administration. The longer retention time of the biopharmaceuticals at the SC injection site provides extended drug release compared to IM injection. Rapid drug absorption upon IM injection is due to the high vasculature of the muscle tissue.

Sub Q for GH always .

subQ - fat is a better for transportation for gh

I do it IM
My igf-1 reading shows it to be effective

Exactly . This is fact . I've seen the literature that supports this as well . I thought it was well known this is why SubQ is the standard for hGH and Ii believe GF-1 use as well.

Well a month on intramuscular with phenomenal results. I’ll try subQ for a bit and get bloodwork and we’ll know which is better

My eyes hurt, but good post.
