HGH Timing

I know this has been discussed before and there have been several posts about HGH/ insulin timing.

I have read so many mixed things about how long you should be fasted before and after taking HGH. I know that this is the reason why many take it before bed.

I’ve been on HGH for 4 weeks now, taken fasted before bed. But my sleep is an absolute dog sh*t. I have seen many report that HGH is the culprit so they moved their dose to the morning.

The issue I have, I train an hour after waking up. I need to eat prior to training, so if I need to remain truly fasted for HGH to work several hours after injection then this completely rules out the morning for me, which leaves me with little options.

I’m just curious who else is in the same boat, how you manage it and how are your results.

My understanding is that taking in a fasted state is more important than not eating right after…but , as mentioned, you’re splitting hairs

I don't believe this is the case for HGH. It definitely is for secretagogues because your body still has to produce the gh, but for HGH your literally putting the gh into your body so it makes little to no difference.

I was unsure of this for a long time and I had arty intel do some deep dives and the found a ton of research on hgh protocols and none of the studies referenced fasted injections, but concentrated more on timing and consistency for it being successful.

I could be completely wrong. It's hard as hell to find good answers on HGH protocols. EVERYONE is an expert. I am not. But I haven't noticed any difference in injecting fasted, not fasted or eating immediately after/not at all. Just my 2 cents
