IGF-1 Blood Test Results and Growth Hormone Analysis Before Using Genotropin in Australia

Week 2 — HGH.LifePlan+ 2026–2027: Kaine (Australia, 42 y.o.)

Hello everyone! Here is HGH Bangkok and Kaine from Australia.

Today marks the beginning of the second week of our research project. As part of our study on growth hormone and Genotropin injections, we began with comprehensive blood tests before starting the Genotropin 36 IU protocol at a daily dosage of 0.6 mg.

The goal of this research is to monitor IGF-1 levels and document changes over time, including recovery, sleep quality, energy levels, and overall physical condition throughout the program.

For this research, we are using HGH blood test results from Clinipath Pathology in Perth, Western Australia, to first evaluate IGF-1 levels and other hormone markers such as testosterone and cortisol before starting the Genotropin 36 IU protocol.

Results of Blood Tests Before Using Human Growth Hormone Injections

IGF-1 Result (HGH)

IGF-1 — 21 nmol/L

Reference Range: 11–31 nmol/L

IGF-1 levels are within the normal reference range for a 42-year-old male.
IGF-1 is a key biomarker of growth hormone activity produced by the liver in response to growth hormone released from the pituitary gland. It plays an important role in recovery, tissue repair, sleep quality, and overall metabolic function.

The result suggests balanced IGF-1 activity at the time of testing, indicating no immediate hormone imbalance.

Testosterone & Androgen Panel

Analysis

Testosterone — Normal Range

Total testosterone levels are within the normal clinical range for a 42-year-old male.

Free Testosterone — Mid Range

Free testosterone also remains within reference range, suggesting stable biologically active testosterone levels.

SHBG — Healthy Range

SHBG levels appear balanced, which may support stable hormone transport and availability.

DHEAS — Normal

DHEAS remains within normal range, indicating balanced adrenal androgen activity.

Prolactin Result

Prolactin — 234 mIU/L

Reference Range: <340 mIU/L

Prolactin levels are within normal limits. Elevated prolactin can sometimes affect libido, mood, recovery, and testosterone balance, but no abnormal elevation is visible here.

Cortisol Result

Morning Cortisol — 405 nmol/L

Reference Range: 150–535 nmol/L

Morning cortisol levels remain within normal physiological range.

Cortisol plays an important role in:

• stress response
• recovery
• sleep quality
• metabolism
• energy regulation

The result does not show abnormal cortisol elevation or suppression.

LH & FSH Hormone Results

The report notes that this hormonal pattern is commonly associated with current or recent testosterone therapy (TRT) or exogenous testosterone use.

LH and FSH are hormones produced by the pituitary gland responsible for signaling natural testosterone production. Suppression of these hormones is frequently observed when external testosterone is introduced into the body.

Estrogen (Oestradiol) and Progesterone remained within normal ranges during testing.

Overall Blood Test Overview

Based on the available markers:

• IGF-1 levels remain stable, indicating balanced growth hormone response from the liver and pituitary gland interaction.
• Testosterone markers are within range, supporting healthy androgen balance.
• Cortisol appears balanced, supporting stress response and metabolic regulation.
• Prolactin remains normal, showing no signs of hormonal disruption affecting libido or recovery.
• Estrogen markers remain controlled, reducing risk of hormone imbalance symptoms.
• LH and FSH suppression is consistent with external testosterone exposure, indicating hormone feedback mechanisms at work.

The current blood panel does not show major hormonal imbalance within the tested markers, suggesting stable growth hormone activity and hormone balance prior to beginning Genotropin treatment.
