HGH (Somatropin 36iu)
Part 1: How to Mix (Reconstitute 36iu vial)
- Add 1.2 mL (120 units) of bacteriostatic water to your 36 iu HGH vial.
- Slowly push the needle into the powder vial. Aim the needle at the glass wall and press the plunger slowly so the water trickles down.
- Dissolve: Gently swirl the vial in circles until the liquid is completely clear. Do not shake it like a cocktail shaker, as rough shaking can damage the peptide.
- Store: Put the mixed vial straight into the refrigerator. It must stay cold.
Part 2: Dosing & Schedule
- Dose 10 units 7 days a week. Here is exactly how much peptide you get in that single 10-unit dose:
- HGH: 3 iu (1 mg)
- Cycle Duration: Run this daily protocol consistently for a 3 to 6-month cycle, followed by a strict 3 months off before starting another cycle.
Part 3: How Long It Lasts
- Total Liquid: 1.2 mL = 120 units total.
- Your Dose: 10 units out of 120 units means you are taking exactly 8.33% of the vial per dose.
- Vial Lifespan: This setup gives you exactly 12 total doses per 36 iu vial.
- 1 Vial lasts 12 days when following a schedule of 7 days a week.
HGH (Somatropin 15iu)
Part 1: How to Mix (Reconstitute 15iu vial)
- Add 1.0 mL (100 units) of bacteriostatic water to your 15 iu HGH vial.
- Slowly push the needle into the powder vial. Aim the needle at the glass wall and press the plunger slowly so the water trickles down.
- Dissolve: Gently swirl the vial in circles until the liquid is completely clear. Do not shake it like a cocktail shaker, as rough shaking can damage the peptide.
- Store: Put the mixed vial straight into the refrigerator. It must stay cold.
Part 2: Dosing & Schedule
- Dose 20 units 7 days a week. Here is exactly how much peptide you get in that single 20-unit dose:
- HGH: 3 iu (1 mg)
- Cycle Duration: Run this daily protocol consistently for a 3 to 6-month cycle, followed by a strict 3 months off before starting another cycle.
Part 3: How Long It Lasts
- Total Liquid: 1.0 mL = 100 units total.
- Your Dose: 20 units out of 100 units means you are taking exactly 20% of the vial per dose.
- Vial Lifespan: This setup gives you exactly 5 total doses per 15 iu vial.
- 1 Vial lasts 5 days when following a schedule of 7 days a week.

PAIRED SUPPLIMENTS
When taking exogenous growth hormone (somatropin), several specific nutrients and supplements are commonly used to support the physiological pathways influenced by the hormone. Somatropin works primarily by stimulating the liver to produce IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1), increasing protein synthesis, and shifting energy metabolism.
However, exogenous growth hormone also alters thyroid function, blood sugar regulation, and nutrient turnover.
1. Thyroid Support (Deiodinase Co-factors)
- Supplements: Selenium, Zinc, and lodine.
- Why: Exogenous somatropin speeds up the conversion of T4 (inactive thyroid hormone) to T3 (active thyroid hormone). Over time, this accelerated turnover can drain the body’s thyroid reserves or unmask mild hypothyroidism.
- Mechanism:
- Selenium and Zinc are essential co-factors for the deiodinase enzymes that convert T4 into active T3.
- Maintaining optimal zinc and selenium levels supports steady thyroid conversion, preventing the metabolic slowdown or fatigue that can occur if T3 levels drop.

2. Insulin Sensitizers & Glucose Management
- Supplements: Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA), Chromium Picolinate, Berberine, and Magnesium.
- Why: Somatropin naturally exerts anti-insulin (diabetogenic) effects, which can cause mild insulin resistance and elevated fasting blood glucose.
- Mechanism:
- Growth hormone mobilizes free fatty acids, which competes with glucose for cellular uptake.
- Insulin-sensitizing supplements like ALA and Magnesium help maintain normal blood sugar levels and improve tissue sensitivity to insulin, ensuring nutrients are effectively partitioned into muscle tissue rather than remaining in circulation.

3. Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) & Protein Substrates
- Supplements: Essential Amino Acid (EAA) complex, L-Glutamine.
- Why: Growth hormone drastically increases the rate of protein synthesis and cellular nitrogen retention.
- Mechanism:
- Somatropin signals cells to build tissue, but it requires raw materials (building blocks) to carry out that signal.
- Ensuring adequate intake of essential amino acids provides the amino acid pool needed for tissue repair, muscle protein synthesis, and collagen synthesis.

4. Bone & Joint Mineral Support
- Supplements: Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2, and Calcium/Magnesium.
- Why: Somatropin and IGF-1 increase bone turnover, osteoblast activity, and joint tissue synthesis.
- Mechanism:
- Vitamin D3 increases intestinal absorption of calcium, while Vitamin K2 directs calcium into bone matrix rather than soft tissue or arteries.
- Supporting bone mineral density and connective tissue matrix helps maximize the structural benefits of growth hormone therapy.
