For males the maximum dosage is 8IU per day, taken at 4IU dosages with at least 9 hours space in-between dosages. This is the maximum amount of HGH the pituitary can release for any male regardless of size. Anything over this dosage is simply wasting the product and will only increase the potential side effects of water retention, aching joints and carpel tunnel.
For a female the maximum dosage is 4IU per day, taken at 2IU dosages with at least 9 hours space in-between dosages. Again this is the maximum amount a female body can release from the pituitary and any dosage over this amount is a waste of product and can potentiate side the same side effects listed above.
