[QUOTE="Rand McClain DO, post: 111868, member: 90"] Hi Amacher, Of course, everyone is different, but the pituitary usually picks up where it left off pretty quickly. I refer to it as similar to a gas powered engine as opposed to a diesel. The length of time using HGH and one's age plays a very large role in the speed at which you regain your "normal" function. However, you state your baseline is 78 ng/mL and you are diagnosed with GH deficiency. Since you have deficiency (78 ng/mL is definitely low for IGF-1 compared to what you were likely producing at 20 years old which would be closer to 300 to 350 ng/mL), to regain that "baseline" shouldn't take very long, and won't make that much difference to you whether we see 68 or 88 ng/mL, because this is a relatively low IGF-1. Things to consider when evaluating your "optimum" level of IGF-1 would include whether you are a vegan or vegetarian, have diabetes or other metabolism issues, and your age. To more directly answer your question, yes, likely weeks rather than months if you are otherwise healthy and don't have a diagnosis of GH deficiency. This can be accelerated through the use of secretagogues now such as ibutamoren, GHRP-2 and 6, Ipamorelin, and sermorelin. [/QUOTE]
