Not everyone believes these bloodtests as a member said:
I would be very wary of the test results on that board going by your above link, the vial of IP yellows was from 2010 says so on the vial, all yellows have been testing very badly , even a full lab analysis carried out by the admin of a board where the the source for yellow tops is a sponsor showed they had no GH whatsoever only a few months ago...
Why would anyone put up a test done on a batch from 2010....not sure i trust anything there tbh.

testforms

Others post pics of the amps and the testpaper.

Rips at 5iu total daily split 2.5iu each doseJust had his IGF done and it is 640.

Graph IGF
A few stats: Im 53 years old been using Mexi green for 6 months started out at 2 iu before bed then to 5iu before bed. Changed my routine one month before my second blood draw to split 3iu in the morn and 3iu at bed time.
Only sides numb hands, I have found by using the split routine Im not as tired as I was when using all before bed. More energy during the day.


Mexi gh reaults: First reading I was on 4iu a day inj time right before bed. Fast 12 hours then blood drawn.

Second reading: 3 iu in the morning and 3iu before bed. The night before blood draw I only used 3iu did not pin in the morning had to fast before blood draw
The norm high igf levals for my age 268

Ellitropin Results (IGF-1 testing)

Used Mexi's green tops for 2 weeks and got my results back.

Morning iternary:

10AM: Pin 3IU sub-q

12PM: Breakfast (800kcal, 60 protein, 120 carbs)

IGF-1 was tested at 578ng/ml using Mexi's old Elitropins, not his new formula.

rhGH serum testing is a crude method for confirming HGH potency. Please be advised that some users are low or non responders. The following abstract gives us some data to consider. Also most docs use IGF-1 results to confirm proper dosing of rhGH therefore I highly recommend getting IGF-1 results along side rhGH serum results.

Abstract

Human growth hormone (HGH) is normally produced by acidophilic cells of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Recombinant DNA technology has made it possible to produce rhGH. There have been reports of immunological reactions in patients treated with rhGH. For this reason, it is necessary to check sera of patients for presence of antibody against rhGH. Forty-seven children were treated for up to 6 months with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH-Novo), 0.1 IU/Kg body weight, subcutaneously, three times weekly. The magnitude of growth response was similar to those expected from clinical experience with pituitary growth hormone. We examined sera for specific antibodies against rhGH by ELISA methods. Four patients developed serum antibodies against growth hormone. The analysis of these four sera by Dot blotting method also showed presence of antibodies against rhGH. In the sera of treated patients, pre-incubated with different concentration of rhGH, specific antibodies were detected by neutralizing assay. This finding was confirmed by ELISA technique. In conclusion, the main concern with anti-GH antibodies could be their ability to neutralize circulating growth hormone and inhibition its growth promoting effect.
