We all know growth hormone (GH) gets tossed around a lot in bodybuilding circles – for fat loss, fullness, skin quality, sleep, recovery, even anti-aging. But when it comes to actual dosing, there’s still so much conflicting info out there. Some people swear by 2 IU/day, others laugh at anything under 6 IU. So where’s the sweet spot?
Here’s a quick breakdown:
1-2 IU/day – This is what most would consider a wellness or anti-aging dose. You might notice improved sleep, better skin, joint lubrication, and some subtle fat loss over time. Minimal side effects. Good for long-term use, especially if you’re natural or TRT only.
3-4 IU/day – Now we’re getting into the body recomposition zone. This is the range where most enhanced athletes start seeing noticeable changes in body fat and recovery. When stacked properly with AAS, insulin (if that’s your game), and solid nutrition, this is where you start to feel GH.
5-6 IU/day and up – This is advanced territory. Used mainly by competitive bodybuilders in a proper PED stack. At this level you’re chasing hyperplasia, faster recovery, more fullness, and synergistic effects with insulin. Side effects start creeping up: water retention, tingling, possible insulin resistance. It’s not a casual dose – you need to know what you’re doing and monitor your health markers.
Now obviously, quality of GH makes a massive difference. 4 IU of pharma is not the same as 4 IU of underdosed generics. So we need to factor in purity, timing (AM vs pre-training), and goal-specific context.
So here’s the real question for you:
What GH dose have you found gives you the best return on investment – in terms of look, feel, and actual results?
I’m talking real experience. Are you cruising on 2 IU and loving it? Or do you only get what you’re after at 5 IU with insulin in the mix? Let’s hear your setups, timings, stacks, side effects, and results.
