Disclaimer: I am not anyone that you should be taking medical or any other advice from. You should never actually inject or use research materials in the manner described below as it is illegal and dangerous. The following is role playing purposes only.
I have never used IGF and have compiled this FAQ of various sources of information and some of the items are based solely on theoretical beliefs. Little on IGF is known at this time. This FAQ deals only with LongR3 IGF-I. Nothing else is really effective for our purposes so from here on out IGF will refer to LongR3 IGF-I. This thread will be locked and I or the other mods will update it as necessary or as new information becomes available.
1. What is IGF?
Answer : go read this : http://www.superiormuscle.com/vbulle...ad.php?t=28338
2. How does my IGF come to me?
Answer : Almost all IGF comes pre dissolved in benzyl alcohol at a concentration of 1, .5, and .3333mg per ml. Usually 1ml per vial. The only popular manufacture that I know of that still ships in powder form is Gen Sci and that comes in 100mcg vials that must be dissolved before using.
3. What kind of IGF am I getting or what kind should I get.
Answer: IGF is sold in several grades with media grade being the cheapest and receptor grade the best. NONE IF THESE ITEMS ARE MENT FOR HUMAN USE! THERE IS NO USP GRADE OR HUMAN GRADE IFG AVALABLE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! There is about a $100 to $150 dollar difference between media and receptor grade IGF so if you don’t want to be paying way more then you should make sure what type your getting. As to what type you should get I would stay with the receptor grade if possible. IGF is a powerful drug and you may not be doing yourself a favor by getting the cheaper grade.
4. How do I use my IGF?
Answer: IGF can be taken ether intramuscularly or subcutaneously with the latter being the more popular as the release rate is lower (the slower the release rate the more even the dosage over the, at least in theory). The dosages range from 20mcg to 120mcg a day, usually divided over two or more shots. Due to the cost and side affects most people try and use the lowest effective dose and that is usually between 40 and 80mcg a day. As for the timing of the shots it is my personal (that is mine and not the majority’s opinion) that it is more effective to take your IGF a few hours before bed intramuscularly. Sleep is where the majority of muscle grow occurs while we sleep so I would take the most advantage of that. But again this is JMO and not the standard usage. The standard usage is 2 to 3 shots a day with one in the morning and one after a workout and/or one at bed. Due to side affects IGG is usually ran for about 4 weeks and should be ran no longer than 6 weeks.
5. How do I take my IGF?
Answer: By ether intramuscular or subcutaneous injections. The normal procedure for this is to draw up the appropriate amount of IGF into a insulin syringe and then fill the rest up with water. This is where the concentration of the IGF becomes important. If you want a 40mcg shot you will need .04ml of a 1mg/ml solution. This is difficult even in an insulin syringe. That is why I recommend that you dilute the IGF to at least 500mcg/ml. It is easier to work with. Injecting subcutaneously may work better but as your injecting benzyl alcohol and it is not wise to inject large volumes under the skin I recommend injecting intramuscularly. If you want to inject subcutaneously then just follow the instructions on insulin injections. I also recommend that he injection should be no more then 10% benzyl alcohol, that is if you are using .08ml of the benzyl alcohol solution that you should use at least .7ml of your preferred diluents. Keep in mind that benzyl alcohol is only soluble in water to about 4ml benzyl alcohol to 100ml water. Biostatic water already has .9% benzyl alcohol so if you want a true solution you would have to 100 parts bio water to 3 parts benzyl alcohol. That would mean that for an injection of .08ml solution you would have to add 2.6666ml of biostatic water. This is one reason I recommend using glycerol as a diluting agent. It will hold several time the amount of benzyl alcohol. This will also slow the absorbs ion (in theory) as well as help prevent any irritation by the benzyl alcohol. My persona preference is to use a 1 to 1 ratio of glycerol and B-complex inject able (I have not used IGF; I used this for my suspensions). However biostatic water will work fine if you just fill the syringe after you draw your solution.
6. Does IGF cause “GH gut”? (the growth or dissention of the belly)
Answer: Yes. IGF makes almost everything that it binds at to grow. That includes your lower organs. To prevent these side you need to keep the dosages low and limit your cycle to no more then 4 to 6 weeks.
7. Does IGF cause heart enlargement?
Answer: Possible and almost certainly if you run enough of it long enough. IGF is a powerful drug and should be treated as such. It is unknown at this time if normal usage will lead to heart enlargement. Abuse of it almost certainly will but at what point and how much are not known at this time. It has come to my attention that some people are attempting to use the IGF intravenously, this may be an exceedingly dangerous practice as you will be exposing the heart directly to the IGF in large and sudden amounts. I would strongly discourage this practice as there is simple not enough information at this time to know what the effects will be from this.
8. Can I use insulin to make my IGF go further.
Answer: Yes but you run the risk of serous hypoglycemia. (Low blood sugar) IGF amplifies the effect of the insulin far more then the insulin does the IGF making for a dangerous situation. You must exercise extreme caution if you want to do this.
9. What are some of the other side affects of IGF?
Answer: Most of these only show up at the higher dosages, headaches, hypoglycemia. and possibility of tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome (things along those lines). Again these only usually show up at higher dosages or long term use b
