Probably the most noob of a question but I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere.
I’ve both read and been told that HGH is to be taken on an empty stomach and post workout. Well, most gym bros have a protein shake post workout, preferably within 30 minutes of training.

Im wanting to start my first ever HGH cycle and curious, does this mean I have to skip my protein shake?

follow up question: I also train early at night, then eat dinner as soon as I get home and hope into bed 2 hours later. Is post gym/before bed/on an empty stomach still my best option?
