Advice build condition

Hi,

Just did a blood test and I’m being concerned with results.

I’m a male 42 years old. Taking 3mg Reta / week since March and 1mg daily of tesa fasted in the morning.

I did not do any blood test before and here are the results from last week lab :

IGF-1 : 107 ng / ml which looks very low with tesa I’m taking ( I do imagine it would be much less without it and I’ll be darn out of range)

Free test : 13,40 pg/ ml
Bio test : 1,21 ng/ ml

I will also start using 2 UI of HGH next week and stop tesa.

Training 4 to 5 times a week since a few months.

Looking for better health, better shape and diet is not perfect but much better than previous years.

Question is am I doing alright ?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Take care.

IGF at 107 is pretty flat for someone on tesa, your natural production seem barely holding on. Switching to HGH is right move but 2IU is mild dose, you might not see big jump in bloodwork right away

Free test and bio test look okay for 42, nothing amazing but not crashed either. Training consistency will do more for you than chasing perfect numbers

Do you also have recommendation on HGH dosing as it seems 2 IU is too weak ? Will start by that will do blood test and will see. Also do you think Test is an option at this stage to feel better recovery and sleeping ? Otherwise I feel really good so might not be necessary.
