- Acute injury recovery
- 100 mcg
- 200 mcg
- Once daily (pre-sleep)
- Soft tissue inflammation reduction, collagen synthesis initiation
- 6–8 weeks for functional improvement
- Best for isolated injuries (ankle sprain, rotator cuff strain) where localised GH-mediated repair is the primary goal
- Post-surgical recovery
- 250 mcg
- Twice daily (morning + pre-sleep)
- Wound healing, scar tissue remodelling, muscle preservation during immobilisation
- 8–12 weeks for measurable tissue remodelling
- Requires medical clearance. Do not start until post-op week 2 to avoid interference with acute inflammatory phase
- Chronic joint degradation
- 150 mcg
- 300 mcg
- Cartilage matrix preservation, synovial fluid production, chronic inflammation modulation
- 12–16 weeks minimum. Degenerative conditions require sustained IGF-1 elevation
- Realistic expectations required. This slows degradation and supports repair capacity but does not reverse structural damage like meniscal tears or bone-on-bone arthritis
- Performance recovery (training)
- Myofibril repair, DOMS reduction, anabolic signalling optimisation
- 3–4 weeks for noticeable reduction in recovery time between sessions
- Most cost-effective for athletes. Single daily dose aligns with natural nocturnal GH pulse without requiring daytime injections
