Started HGH - IGF-1 went down?

October 2024: IGF-1 was 206
November 2024: purchased Gentropin 210 IU in Mexico, Started at 2 IU
December 2024: IGF-1 was 169 (I was also taking Metformin and stopped that right after the test came back at 169. I also bought a test kit from RoidTest and the results on the HGH were inconclusive. I also upped it to 3IU per day
January 2025: IGF-1 is now 188

I know the Metformin can effect the IGF-1 levels. I probably should not have taken it with the HGH to begin with but I was hoping I would have at least bounced back to pre HGH levels since dropping it and increase it to 3IU per day. My concern is I have bunk Mexico HGH.

This is my first go around with HGH. Other factors: 54 yoa, 200 Test per week (TRT). 15%-18% body fat, 220 lbs. Diet is clean and I lift as heavy as these aging joints will let me. I’ve dabbled in some gear previously with a 400 mg test per week with primo and anadrol. 3 months of that brought some muscle growth but mostly just fucked up my hair and gave me vicious acne on my chest and back so I’m done with that.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Bad gh most likely.

And you are not referring to Genotropin correct?

Nope, it’s Gentropin. I thought I was buying Genotropin (and getting it at a steal) until I looked closer after the first IGF-1 test. Kinda feel like a chump

Im sorry for you bro :sob:
