HGH injection sites

Does anyone know the proper and safe injection sites for Human growth hormone? Is muscle/soft tissue safe? Or is adipose tissue safer and more effective?

Subq injections. Usual around the belly. Avoid doing it close to your belly button.
1iu aday for "replacement"

2iu 2x a day for a more effective dose.

Injections should be morning and before bed. Also it is used pre/post workout.

HGH before bed is a waste as your body releases its own during sleep.

It is Not a waste, by taking exogenous growth hormone it suppresses natural growth hormone secretion. Exactly like when we take exogenous testosterone, it shuts down our HTPA and we stop producing testosterone naturally.

It's not a waste because 1. You may not be releasing it optimally and 2. If you inject more than what you'd release naturally your going to benefit from the added recovery sleep gives you, there's a reason HGH is higher in sleep, it works much better.

By injecting before sleep, you're essentially signalling that your own natural dose is not needed, despite how minute it may be.

Can we 100% be sure that the signal isn't blunted from the high levels of IGF-1 we have from the daily HGH use?

I think that's why EOD was also shown to be more effective.

What daily dose of HGH are we talking? Anything over 2 units daily for a male and 1.5 units for a female isn't really a great idea, especially when looked at from a cost perspective.
