HGH metallic taste?

[axo]

Just started a 6 month cycle of HGH Saturday (1/24). The main goal is fat loss.

Current dose is .75iu / day. I know that's small, but I want to get used to the process, minimize sides, and I'm not in a hurry. The plan is to increase to 1iu / day next week, then 1.5 iu / day the following week and finally 2 iu / day (5 on, 2 off) for the rest of the cycle. I'm open to suggestions.

Weight training is consistent 3x / week and I have upped the cardio to at least 4x / week.

I am pretty sensitive to changes in my body and plan to document anything and everything possible.

Here is what I have noticed:

1. A somewhat metallic taste in my mouth
2. Tenderness in the upper part of my jaw...near the bottom of my ears

Also, I have read a bunch of information about supplementing this type of cycle with T3 and / or T4. Since blood work will not be done until March, should I consider this option?

Thanks.

just go 2iu/day out of the gate..hit it in the morning right when u wake up and go everyday..not 5 on 2 off.

Thanks. Is there a time frame to move to the 5 on, 2 off dose?

nope..i know some guys like to run it that way but from everything I`ve researched..its a daily doseage. What benefit is there to taking 2 days off?

Thanks. I jumped to 2iu this morning and will stay there for a while. Check out the quote below from Getropin.

Since I plan to run HGH for at least 12 months, I thought it would be best to follow the 5/2 protocol.

It's also easier for me use 1, 10iu container / week.

"For a normal cycle of 5-8 months in length, injecting once or twice a day, 7 days a week should be fine. While there are studies that suggest that the suppression from exogenous HGH is short lived (about 4 hours from injection), there are no large-scale studies to indicate safety of everyday injections in long-term use. There are studies by anti-aging groups demonstrating that a day or two off per week is adequate to protect the pituitary and its triggers over long cycles. If your use of HGH becomes more a lifestyle than a single cycle, I would consider running it 5 on/2 off, or 6 on/ 1 off until such time as we have reliable data demonstrating long-term safety sans any degradation of your own output or the triggers initiating that output."

go for the 5 on 2 off...ive personally never run it that way..always been ED but if you think it`ll benefit ya mre in the long run..by all means
