I got my IGF and was told to do 20 mcg once daily sub-Q into area near bellybutton as stated on the package. Have also heard someone say that it is a little more site specific and want to know for sure if it is to prevent bubble gut or something similar. Also correct me on best dosage and best subQ locations with a small insulin needle. Thanks!
There are no guarantees or absolutes with this stuff, by even deciding to take it youve accepted *some* potential risk.
In saying that, there are of course ways to minimise risk. 40-60mcg daily are the numbers Ive seen most recommended for a "safe" upper limit whilst still getting plenty of benefits.
I have seen some protocols say subq is best, but intramuscular is by far the more preferred method. Ideally, youd pin the muscle trained. Even more ideal, but not very practical, is to do multiple micro-inj at various points of the muscle site.
The idea is to try get as much of the peptide localised, and minimal systemic.
As far as timing, I think theres a good argument for inj lr3 at least a couple hours postwo. Does timing matter considering its halflife? Well its halflife seems up for debate, Patrick Arnold for one thinks its nowhere near as long as typically claimed. But the halflife is irrelevant for the purposes here. Anyway, dosing away from the workout means endogenous MGF can better do its thing without lr3 interfering with it. To quote datbtrue:
"So post exercise MGF is proliferating-> proliferating-> proliferating-> proliferating-> proliferating-> proliferating-> proliferating-> THEN you introduce IGF-1 which will define the newly proliferated "cells"."
But none of this is backed by human studies of course. Its ultimately all conjecture based on what little *is* known about these compounds.
