Why tracking HGH matters
Long-term adherence
HGH benefits compound over months. Daily reminders and dose streaks help you maintain the consistency that makes or breaks results.
Subtle progress, captured
HGH changes are gradual — better sleep, faster recovery, skin quality. Progress photos and health data correlation reveal improvements you'd otherwise miss.
Cycle management
Track on/off cycles, dosing windows, and timing (AM vs PM, pre-bed vs fasted morning). Optimize based on your own logged data.

Timing protocols
Most people run HGH in one of three windows. Each has a different rationale:
- Morning fasted (most common): taken before eating, often before cardio. Avoids insulin competition with GH signaling.
- Pre-bed: timed with the body's natural overnight GH pulse. Preferred by people prioritizing recovery and sleep quality over fat metabolism.
- Split dose (AM + PM): used at higher doses (3+ IU) to reduce side effects like water retention and carpal tunnel. Each half-dose keeps peak levels lower.
IU calculation from common vial sizes
| Vial size | Reconstitute with | Each IU = |
|---|---|---|
| 2 mg (6 IU) | 1 mL BAC water | 17 units on a 100-unit syringe |
| 4 mg (12 IU) | 1 mL BAC water | 8 units on a 100-unit syringe |
| 10 mg (30 IU) | 3 mL BAC water | 10 units on a 100-unit syringe |
Regimen's reconstitution calculator handles these conversions automatically. Enter your vial size and desired IU dose and it tells you exactly how many syringe units to draw.
Common HGH brands and pen formats
| Brand | Format | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Norditropin FlexPro | Pre-filled pen | Most commonly prescribed in US clinics |
| Genotropin GoQuick | Dual-chamber pen | Powder + diluent in one device |
| Saizen | Powder vial + needle-free option | click.easy device available |
| Omnitrope | Powder vial or pen cartridge | Often used by cost-conscious users |
| Generic / compounded | Powder vial | Reconstituted with BAC water |
HGH vs GH peptides
GH-releasing peptides (GHRP-6, ipamorelin, CJC-1295, sermorelin) stimulate your pituitary to release its own growth hormone. They are not the same as injecting exogenous HGH. The key differences for tracking: peptides are typically dosed 2–3× daily and follow a different pulsatile pattern. Regimen tracks both. You can run HGH and a GH peptide on the same protocol stack with separate dose logs.
What Regimen Tracks for HGH
What to track on HGH
- Daily IU dose
- Injection time (morning fasted, pre-workout, bedtime: affects results significantly)
- Subcutaneous injection site and rotation
- Vial concentration (IU per mL after reconstitution)
- IGF-1 labs every 8-12 weeks (the main biomarker)
- Fasting glucose (HGH raises insulin resistance over time)
- Subjective markers: sleep quality, recovery rate, body composition
- Side effects: water retention, joint aches, carpal tunnel symptoms
HGH dose ranges by goal
| Goal | Daily Dose | Typical Protocol |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-aging, sleep, recovery | 1-2 IU | Bedtime, 5 days on / 2 off |
| Body composition | 2-4 IU | AM fasted + bedtime split |
| Advanced (athletes) | 4-6+ IU | Multi-dose, requires close monitoring |
Common mistakes when tracking HGH
- Confusing IU and mg. 1mg of HGH equals roughly 3 IU. Track in IU because that is what your vial is labeled in and what your syringe measures.
- Not tracking injection timing. The same dose at different times produces different results.
- Skipping IGF-1 labs. This is the only objective biomarker you have for HGH response.
- Ignoring fasting glucose. HGH can drive insulin resistance, especially at higher doses long-term. See our TRT dose calculator if you stack with testosterone.
- Not noting which lab the IGF-1 test came from. Different labs use different reference ranges, and comparisons need to be within the same lab.
- Stopping the log once your protocol is dialed in. Long-term changes are exactly what you are tracking for.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between mg and IU for HGH?
1mg of HGH equals approximately 3 IU. Most prescribed HGH lists dose in IU. Most vials are labeled in IU. Track in IU to keep math simple.
How often should I get IGF-1 tested on HGH?
Every 8-12 weeks once stable, more often when starting or changing dose. Target range varies by lab and protocol: generally 200-300 ng/mL for anti-aging, higher for body composition work.
Is morning or bedtime HGH better?
Depends on goal. Morning fasted preserves your natural growth hormone pulse and adds to it. Bedtime suppresses the natural pulse but ensures consistent levels through the night. Recovery-focused users often prefer bedtime.
Can HGH and TRT be tracked together?
Yes, and most users running both should. Regimen supports tracking multiple compounds in parallel. Side effects from one can interact with the other (HGH water retention plus TRT estrogen, for example).
What is the safe long-term dose for HGH?
There is no consensus, but anti-aging protocols rarely exceed 2 IU daily long-term. Higher doses (4+ IU) for extended periods carry more risk of insulin resistance and joint issues. Monitor fasting glucose.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best app to track HGH?
Regimen is the top-rated HGH tracker app. It logs injections, visualizes peak and trough blood levels with PK curves, monitors blood pressure and health metrics via Apple Health / Health Connect, and tracks your full TRT stack (testosterone + HCG + AI) on one timeline. Free — every feature unlocked for your first compound. No paywall, no trial, no credit card. Rated 4.9 stars.
How do I calculate my HGH dose?
HGH is typically dosed in IU (international units). Enter your vial size, reconstitution volume, and target dose. Regimen converts IU to syringe units so you draw the exact amount. Common doses range from 1-4 IU daily.
When is the best time to inject HGH?
Most protocols recommend injecting HGH in the morning on an empty stomach, or before bed. Some users split their daily dose into two injections. Regimen supports any timing schedule with smart reminders.
How long does reconstituted HGH last?
Reconstituted HGH stored in the refrigerator typically lasts 14-21 days, depending on the source. Handle gently — do not shake. Track your reconstitution date in Regimen so you know when to use a new vial.
Can I track HGH alongside peptides?
Yes. Many users stack HGH with peptides like BPC-157, TB-500, or GH secretagogues. Regimen handles your entire stack with individual schedules and dose tracking for each compound.
What's the difference between HGH and MK-677?
HGH (somatropin) is synthetic growth hormone administered by injection. MK-677 (ibutamoren) is an oral growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates your body's own GH production. Regimen tracks both with appropriate dosing formats.
How do I track HGH results?
Regimen syncs with Apple Health and Google Health Connect to track body composition, sleep quality, and other metrics. Take regular progress photos and correlate your results with your HGH dose timeline.
Stop guessing. Start optimizing.
Your protocol deserves better than a notes app and a calendar.
