I Am Overweight, Feeling Tired. Suffered From Brain Concussion. Looking For Safest Dosage For Hgh
Question: for someone who is 41 years old what is the safest dosage of hgh (in IU ) for health and weight loss purpose?
I am 41 years old I am severely overweight 250lbs.I am always extremely tired and I have suffered brain concussion in the past. I have no diabetes or high blood pressure but I have some water retention due to my obesity. I heard that people in my situation could be deficient in hgh. I am too poor to afford an anti-aging clinic. I ve decided to try hgh (please dont ask me how I got it).I just want to what will be the safest dosage without risking side effets of cancer or others.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Let me be very clear to you - hgh (Human Growth Hormone) is not approved by the FDA for use in weight loss purpose.
It can be used in cases of Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) based on non-weight based regimen or a weight based regimen.
In Weight based regimen— a recommended dosage at the start of treatment is not more than 0.04 mg/kg/week. The dose may be increased according to individual patient requirements to not more than 0.08 mg/kg/week at 4–8 week intervals.
Today’s research indicates that a move toward individualizing the dosing of prescription agents is warranted and it can happen only after physical consultation / your doctor will know about these drugs.
I am sorry but you may have heard things wrong.
It was observed in a study that patients who were on hgh (Human Growth Hormone) for valid medical conditions, lost a few pounds of weight. And, this is how the research on use of hgh in weight loss started.
Please do write back for further discussion.
