IGF-1 R3 great so far and my HAIR is growing back!

serengo · 03-31-2004, 09:15 AM

I'm loving the IGF, getting great results, pretty much what others have been saying, good pumps, small lean gains, great overall body composition changes. The only downsides I noticed is that I can't kick my kids butt at PS2 since the video game kills my knuckles, but typing is fine and nothing else has bothered.

Here's the thing, I'm 37 and the male pattern baldness started kicking in about 12 years ago. I have been using rogaine(tm) for 4-5 years steady, and it just slows the progress IMO. I am seeing new hair growth after two weeks of IGF-1 R3. This is not my imagination, small fine hairs where my hairline has receeded are coming back. Anyway, thought others might like to know.

That is good news, I stared the skin yamika (sp?) about 3 years ago, maybe this will bring some of it back

Whats your dosage? Do you think it could be a combo of the IGF and the rogaine?

I wondered that as well, I do know that when I stop rogain (did for 2 mos once) there is a very noticeable increase in hair loss. I check the screen over the drain in the shower. Perhaps there is some synergy there, but I haven's seen anything but the finest of hairs with rogain and I've been using it over 4 years. It's enough that I noticed, so did my wife.

I started at 60mcg/day and went to 80mcg/day
I am also taking 4iu insulin post workout. (caution: insulin and igf-1 r3 together you need to know wtf you're doing)

This was a test run, I'm going to be using it in my next cycle and I think I will run it at 50-60mcg/day I don't think 80 was any better.

Sounds great. This product should definetly be more effective the older you are.

**bioman** · 03-31-2004, 12:34 PM

Hmmmmm...You mean there is hope? lol

Topical IGF and Rogaine solution perhaps? lol

A peptide in a transdermal solution? I think not

I have the same thing, MPB started 20 years ago, since being on IGF for 15 days, my hair texture and feel is great. I will have to look closer, probably have some regrowth as well, what a great side to have. Not really concerned with it after 20 years of dealing with it, but again, who'd a thunk it!

Hot damn.. another reason to be using IGF-1

You said it kills your knuckles, Does IGF cause arthritis? or carpal tunnel?

Stiffness

An almost arthritic feeling is commonly associated with high levels of HGH, well IGF1 has the exact same property. IGF1 will cause your hands, fingers and knuckles to ache this is one way you can be sure you got real IGF1.

IGF-1's Side effects

Every thing has a down side. To bake a cake ya gotta brake an egg. IGF1 is no exception. The drug used in larger quantity around the 100mcg+ range will cause headaches, occasional nausea and can contribute to low blood sugar or hypoglycemia in some users. Although I have never heard of this first hand I'm sure its true.

98BlueSupraTT · 05-27-2004, 06:15 PM

oh ok I just had never heard of that being a side effect yet. I'm sure you can keep the effects minimal if you use the correct dosage and don't abuse it. Thanks

For me, the joint aches were in my feet, mostly my toes.

Are you using just straight Rogaine? (5% minoxidil) There are much better products out there! Shampooing with Nizoral EOD, using a 2% spironolatctone topical solution ,prior to applying a 5% azelaic acid/5% minoxidil solution 2x a day has really worked wonders for my hairline and thickness. I believe there's another shampoo called Nioxin that is supposed to work really well, as well as oral Finasteride, but I havent used either.

Im 28 now, and noticed my hair started to thin at 22. Started using the above combo about 8 months ago, 2 months after the starting the regimen my hair was noticeably thicker. Then I ran out of stuff, moved, and just negelected things. After about 2 months or so I started losing a LOT of hair again.

So I started back on it, and within a month my hair came back with a vengence. The thing about straight minoxidil is - it stimulates hair regrowth, but does nothing to inhibit the DHT that caused your hair to fall out in the first place. Combining minoxidil with the potent androgen/DHT blockers spironolactone and azelaic acid gives a potent 1-2 hit to MPB. Using the Nizoral shampoo eod primes the scalp for hair regeneration, and also helps to inhibit DHT.

I would think that combining the above combo with a cycle of IGF-1R3 would really provide some interesting results in terms of hair regrowth.

Where are you buying this stuff? Do you get the azelaic/minoxidil mix pre-made or are you mixing that yourself? I might want to try your little regime there.

http://www.minoxidil.com carries all these products, however you must become a patient first. Some of them can only be purchased with a sript, others are OTC.

www.minoxidil.com is the place to go. Decent prices and excellent products and service. Yes, you have to become a patient first but it couldnt be easier. Email them from the site, they'll send you a form to fill out. Do that, mail it to Dr.Lee, and in a week or so you'll have email confirmation that you're eligible to order from the website.

www.wholesalehairproducts.com is also a good source, although they've had some service/quality issues in the past when one of their founding members passed away unexpectedly. (RIP) I ordered from them recently, they shipped very quickly. Better prices on minoxidil+azel
