Hey, Victor, this feels counter-intuitive. As you get older you produce less GH of your own. So why would you need less? Surely if you were taking it for 30 years (for illustrative purposes only!) from age 20 to 50 you would need to increase your dose slowly, or maye keep it the same, rather than drop it. Not sure I can see the science behind a drop...
Thanks,

Good question.
The reason why someone who is older would need less is because his body is not producing the same amount as he was when he was 20. As we grow older, the less out bodies make.
This may sound confusing but I'll do my best to explain it the way I understand it. The older we are, the less HGH we produce. When you are older, the entrance of HGH into your system somewhat gives a magnified effect because the body is no longer used to having any HGH within.
If you are 45 and taking 4iu a day, that would be similar to a 25 year old taking something like 10iu a day. This is because there isn't any (or very little) HGH in your system at that age and the body reacts differently than when there is natural HGH in your system.
In our mid 20s our levels are at their peak, and the introduction of small doses of HGH into our system will have an effect.
If you are 50 and your body is no longer producing HGH, the introduction of HGH into the body will have more of an effect, because there isn't any there to begin with.
We had a debate about this a few years back, there was a study comparing and contrasting HGH for different ages and doses. If I can find it, I'll post it up. Forgive me if it sounds a bit confusing, I'll see if I can find some documented information that will help you better understand.
