hGH Turtle Gut

Why does hGH cause that ugly looking turtle gut?

Is it dependant on the dosage or the cycle duration? I.e. if I run 8iu for a year?

Is it possibly due to injection site?

Any way to avoid it?

Gh doesnt cause turtle gut, insulin combined hgh and alot of juice does,im on hgh for about 3 months now..8iu a day is way to much, hgh forms in the brain and can shut down the gland in the brain aswell, rather be save and take 3 iu in the morning and 3iu before bed.

Yes it does, but not at low doses. It can without any insulin or additional IGF1 as well.

The new muscle cells you get from HGH is from the massive increase in IGF1 that it facilitates. Your intestines have LOTS of IGF1 receptors just like your muscles do, and new cells form there causing enlargement of the intestines.

3 months is still a very short time, the minimum period to start seeing results. Also 6iu is not a lot for building mass.
Personally I will probably work my way up to 10iu within the 1st six months. The latter 6 months (a total of 1 year in my case) I want to add Test. Saying this, I do not believe that this is abusing GH in the sense of dosage or duration.

Wish there was a way to block the IGF receptors in my gut!! :S
I'll stick it in my biceps and calves, can I do that?
