What's happening internally: GH pulsatility increases within the first few days of dosing IGF-1 levels begin rising Phase III data showed mean increases of approximately 108 ng/mL over baseline across the treatment period (Wellington & Goa, 2011) The GHRH receptor-somatostatin feedback loop engages, maintaining physiological pulsatile GH release Lipolytic enzymes begin upregulating in visceral adipose tissue Hepatic IGF-1 production ramps up in response to increased GH signaling What users and trial subjects commonly report: Most people notice nothing at this stage and that is normal Some report improved sleep quality, particularly deeper sleep onset, likely related to GH's role in slow-wave sleep architecture Occasional mild injection site reactions (redness, itching) in approximately 10% of users per Phase III safety data Possible mild fluid retention or joint stiffness as GH levels adjust a common GH-class side effect that typically resolves within 1-2 weeks What is not commonly reported at this stage: No visible fat loss No measurable waist circumference change No meaningful strength or energy differences Blood work context: Labs drawn at week 2 typically show IGF-1 already rising
