IM or SubQ HGH? Which one you guys prefer?
I've heard that absorbtion is faster IM, but is this true and does it even matter?

I've always thought that subcutaneous is the way to go with HGH, because that's the way doctors administer it.
But I think that HGH soaks up faster when it's injected intramuscularly.
If I inject HGH together with insulin then IM, if only HGH then subQ.
"Abstract
The sc and im administration of human GH (hGH) was compared in the therapy of GH deficiency. The peak and integrated concentrations of hGH in the plasma of the patients were similar after sc and im injection of an initial dose (0.1 U⁄kg) of hGH. The peak hGH concentration occurred at 2 h in both groups. The posttreatment height velocity and the change in height velocity at 3-month intervals were also similar n i the im and sc groups. The somatomedin generation test resulted in a higher mean peak of somatomedin C after sc injection; however, if the individual peaks of somatomedin C were averaged, there was no difference between sc and iminjection. A cross-over at 9 months of therapy to determine patient acceptance of im vs. sc injections indicated overwhelming acceptance of the sc route. The antibody responses to hGH were similar in both groups.
We conclude that sc injection of hGH is an effective and safe mode of therapy for GH deficiency. The lipoatrophy that occurred infrequently at the injection site can be eliminated by rotation of sites. Subcutaneous administration of hGH will be more acceptable by the patients with less pain and less noncom-pliance."

This study states that there is no difference between IM and subQ in terms of absorption. More people prefer subQ but there is no advantage of IM over the subQ.

I think it should be SUBQ to inject HGH
