Contrary to what a lot of people who haven't looked into GH believe, it really doesn't cost like $5000 to run a successful cycle.

cost is in between $2.5-$3.5iu domestically in the us and $2.0-$3.0 per IU internationally. It depends on where you get it, and the brand. (personally i would say currently Jin's are the most affordable GH yielding the best overall results)

So lets say on average u pay $3.0 domestically per IU. And you do shots 22 days of 4iu's (5 days on, 2 days off to extend the cycle). This ends up being $264 a month X 6 months= $1584. After paying shipping, possible WU fees, and buying all the pins you'll need for the cycle, its safe to say you'd still be under $2000 for a successful 6 month run at a moderate dosage.

Thanks for doing the calculations. It gives me a more precise estimate of how much GH i can't afford

Also, studies have shown that 7 days a week injections do better that the 5 on 2 off, which was created to save money

very true MattD. When i suggested the 5 on 2 off cycle above i was doing exactly what you said, creating a cycle to save money, yet also give the full benefits of GH.

What would normally last as a 5 month cycle at 4iu 7x a week, would now last a 6 1/2 month cycle at 4iu 5 on 2 off, which IMO would yield better results.

Personally on my cycle i am doing a 3 day on 1 day off split.

Another question people commonly ask regarding dosing is if it's really necessary to split the GH shots into two different times of the day, or if once a day is fine.

Here is another quote from Einstein1905 (Damn the guy know everything about GH and Igf-1) answering this in very easily understood terms:

"Somatostatin is the protein expressed in response to high levels of GH to counteract these high levels. By shooting some GH, you allow this elevated level of GH to cause most of its downstream effects for a period of time until the elevated GH level as well as downstream metabolites/products incite the negative feedback loop, increasing somatostatin expression. This all occurs over a relatively brief period...maybe a few hours. By taking the second shot later, you allow your body to again gain benefit from the elevated GH levels until the negative feedback loop kicks in. If you shot it all at once, the theory is (I'm sure it's been shown somewhere) that somatostatin will be expressed proportionally to the level of GH in plasma at that time so as to balance things out again. 2 shots means 2 periods of time during which your body will be "caught off guard". Keeping your last shot to sometime around late afternoon or earlier will also allow the somatostatin levels to return to normal before bedtime, during which you still capitalize on your own naturally-occurring highest GH release spikes."

These $$$$$$$

DrugStore.com -- Saizen -- $13.62 / IU best price. Most clinics/pharmacies charging well more than this. I have found a comounding pharmacy wholesaling an NDC listed somatropin at 7.50/IU in 1,000 IU qty or around 10/IU base. Genotropin and other name brands are well more than any of these.

Groups such as Somatropin Online handling access to non US branded Saizen still around in the 9 - 11 / IU range. I have heard rumors of chinese materials being less and of black market being less.... but is there indeed a product out there in the 2.50 - 3.5 range as you say that assays out as the real deal and dosing?.... if so... please enlighten me... as I'll have been saved well over 10k a year...

Is Jintropin Real???

OK--- I've enlightened my self--- I need to KNOW...


WHO HAS TRIED Jintropin ?

Has anyone paid for an assay?

Does anyone have any reason to believe that it is a false material?

I've used GH for roughly 1.5yrs straight, with just a week or two off here and there....most of this has been jino. Had the results been anything less than what they were, I may have felt inclined to have it tested, but it's clear to me that it's the real deal. In fact, I'd used serostim in the past and found that a lower dose of jino was comparable (6 vs 4), although that's not at all scientific and fully subjective.

i have heard this from a few people on other boards as well. People who were previously using 6-9 IU's of sero had to lower the dosage once switching to jintropin because of side effects.

I'm going to use 4iu GH ed and IGF cycles.
What do you guys think is the best schedule to shoot this? I'm thinking 2iu at 0700am, 2iu 0500pm, IGF PWO at about 0800pm (or the morning after a workout if that is an off day). Sounds good?

thanks

Mixing/handling I know, but it's a question about timing these two components.
Any thoughts?

Personally i would do the second GH shot directly after a workout and workout earlier in the day, around 2-3pm.
