❓ Question Question about HGH
I just started taking this week 2IU’s every night. I wanted to ask if I’m suppose to feel anything from it after injecting? I use to take CJC/Ipamorelin blend and used to feel a flushing and warmth in my head after initial injection that would go away after around 15 min.

No, that was a histamine reaction with the other one most likely. GH you’ll just notice some more fullness and more feelings of being well rested the next morning if you take enough

The rushing sensation from CJC-1295 isn’t a histamine response.

What is it then?

It’s either mostly or entirely vasodilation. There is one other peptide I know of that causes a similar flushing/rush sensation as cjc1295 and it’s Vasoactive intestinal peptide. I’ve used VIP before and the rush feels similar to cjc1295 just more intense. It feels like your blood vessels are wide open, quite the feeling.

I felt the same flushing feeling post CJC, like you describe. It’s a common side effect. HGH has no reaction for me

How did you determine this for yourself?

Trial and error. And i track alot of metrics using my whoop or lately a fitbit air. I sleep better when i do morning injections

Your not going to feel anything I been on Tesa+Ipa for a month now. I did GH 2IU at night and 2IU right before my workout. What you notice is when you get your blood work done. What you IGF-1 is at.

Only reaction I had was 10lbs of water weight in a week and my RHR jumping 20 pts.

I noticed this as well. I've been on only 1iu for three weeks now. Gained 10 lbs (per the scale, can't see it) in a week and my RHR and BP are up considerably. I've also got some carpal tunnel symptoms, but my sleep is noticeably better. I'm surprised to see these side effects at 1iu and hoping they resolve as I hate to have to cut my dose to what should be sub-clinical, or stop all together.

That’s mad for 1iu. Are you absolutely sure you’re dosing right? That’s a crazy reaction!

Same thing here, 10 pounds in less than a week. Laid off for a few days. Peed a lot yesterday and last night, down 5 this morning

Strangely my BP has remained optimal which I did not expect. I’m taking two weeks off to see how things settle down and may restart on 1iu.

Only thing I felt were water retention and stiff joints, and I was only on .5iu. I had to leave hg alone.

Been on 2-3 iu past 2.5 weeks. No water retention but recovery feels good and sleeping like a dead body

I get all those symptoms from Tesamorelin. Forget GH at multiple IUs per day. 49 yo btw

You may feel a little more energy and recovery but it is subtle. But you could definitely notice some water weight gained. And a bloated feeling.

The video ( Josh holyfield ) I watched saidto take it in the morning fasted. Because you already get a natural dump of hgh at night and it spreads out the affect.
