The last 6 month revised test on 9/17/18 came back a lowly 294 ng/ml, I am at a loss to explain what is going on, a downward spiral, and this is with the extreme purity stuff that has me feeling super-human. I will continue to use it, decent slow but steady gains in gym, very good strong dreams, good daytime energy, pumps, and cognition, abolutely love the stuff, just can't expalain the test results right now.
Perhaps the vitmain B5 and choline I took along with the mk677 in the morning skewed the results, next time I will fast like I did but not take any vitamins with it, that's how I used to do it in the past, fast all night then only take the mk677 in am, then get bloodwork done 3 hours later like always. I'm reaching for answers right now, but don't have any.
IGF-1 From 372 (March) to 322 (Sept) to 294 (Sept)...(ref range 67 - 205 ng/ml) 227 = baseline.
I give up trying to figure this out, I'll be back in a couple months with an updated bloodwork
end of October (after being on 8 months). I don't give up easy. But I am pissed off with the test results right now.
p.s. I have read the vitamin biotin can skew test results for igf-1, so I don't think it was the choline/vitamin b5 combo. But still, I should not have taken it with vitamins the morning of the bloodwork. Perhaps it is tolerance, and perhaps a 5 on 2 off schedule would correct this, however in the studies on older folks, they took it everyday for 1 and 2 years straight with little change in test results. Here is all I could find on-line:

I will continue to take it everyday like usual, and retest 1 month from now, we will get down to the bottom of this. I still love the way I feel and perform on it in the gym, so I am not disappointed, only in the lower test results lately.
Perhaps MK677 reaches a peak at 2 weeks and then levels out after that, as a scientist I intend to continue to do bloodwork every few months (doesn't personally cost me anything) and track what is happening. I still have HGH kits in the fridge, but stick with the mk677 as I love the results thus far. It saves a ton of money and similar results to 3 to 4iu of HGH.
In other news, walmart on-line slashed the price of 2lb pure protein plus met-rx from $25 to $15, use it everyday, some of the best protein on the planet.
Thanks 81dcs, Brienn8989, HellAtlantic, I feel better you guys are interested.
