Posted on Sat, 10 Jan 2015
Question: I'm a 62 year old male and want to increase my muscle mass, lose some weight and feel younger, I have been on testosterone replacement therapy for the past three years and it has helped. I'm thinking of adding some HGH to the TRT and would like to know what an approximate dosage would be for me. I'm 5'10" tall and weigh about 210 pounds.

Brief Answer:
HGH & TRT

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

HGH for hormone Replacement Therapy for Adult Hypopituitarism: Inj Somatotropin (0.1–1.25 mg SC qd)

A proper TRT dose should be approximately 125 mg of testosterone injected weekly, although 100 mg every 5 days is ideal.

However this is strictly not a prescription advice. You will need to consult your treating doctor for prescription.
