Thread: Can HGH Cause Gyno? Make you lethargic?

I really appreciated this information! Thanks

I post this mainly for a theoretical discussion purposes, and not accusing your source with faking GH, some will find my theory simply interesting -

HCG does cause gynocomastia per se, GH doesn't do so (GH indeed like mentioned here may trigger prolactin receptors and cause lactating but it doesn't cause hypertrophy of the breast tissue), a brief look on the brochure of GH will show that gynocomastia is not listed as a common side effect, while on HCG it'll appear on the top.

Furthermore - you're taking Aromasin which prevents the conversion of androgens to estrogen via aromatase (it's an enzym which converts the androgen to estrogens, and Aromasin inhibits its production). So Aromasin is effective in lowering estrogen levels which stems from high levels of androgens (like tesotsterone), however HCG triggers the testicles directly to produce estrogen, hence Aromasin can't help with that .....

Would nolvadex work to combat gyno caused my HCG?

body take time to balance it self, when hormone speaking, about 2 to 3 months or more. Sometimes 6 months!
Stop taking AI, takes time, but body will balance it self
May be reduces test to 200 mg/wk for 2 or 3 months (cruising)
Then increase it just a little per week, only if needed.
(Usually just above TRT levels are more than enough)

HGH treatment competes or affects Insulin secretion and insulin receptors

HGH increase body production of glucose, at the same time, reduce the conversion of glucose to adipose tissue.
That way reduce body fat and make glucose available for energy.
Carbs intake increase glucose, high glucose results in an Insulin spike.
but with HGH and IGF-1 high in the body, insulin receptors are busy. Some how that extra glucose floating around increase tryptophan production making you sleepy and lethargic.
Been sleepy may not seen like a problem, but;
In the long run, eating trash food may cause an Insulin Sensitivity or Insulin Resistance problem.


Solution:

reduce HGH dose to 1 IU for the next month ( 30 days)

use HGH fasting, first thing in the morning.
Wait 1 hr to 1.5 hrs for breakfast.

Use a calorie app to track your food intake, My Fitness Pal is a good one.
You can set it in your computer for 3 meals and 3 snacks.
Make sure your totally daily carbs don't surpass the app recommendation.
