[Foggy06]

What effect does insulin have on the growth of muscle.
Im asking this because i recently heard that in some events the use of it by non-diabetics is not allowed.why?

1. It's a prescription drug. If you use it / carry it without a prescription, it's illegal. As far as getting in trouble with it, you probably wouldn't. It's used by 100,000's of people everyday...

It's available OTC in Canada.

Its OTC in the US also. In some places even illegal for pharms to deny sale of Humilin-R.

Every year a handfull of bodybuilders die from injecting insulin. Most of them die with a telephone in thier hand.

Diabetics coma's aren't cool.

All you have to do is mistime or mismeasure your food.

it is definatly not something to consider unless you have done a few shows or are at that level

insulin and gh..I will never touch the stuff. I have personally known guys that have had health complications because of both

[ripped_one]

The stuff my neighbor had was prescrip' only... I guess there are a few other ones that are OTC though. Pretty scary stuff though unless you absolutely need it.

In canada, ALL insulin is OTC. unless there's a difference in the U.S.

Yup OTC here in Canada! I wouldn't **** with slin unless I was really on a level where I would consider using it, and even at that point I would use it under close supervision and advice of someone who really knew what they were doing.

Unless you are a pro, just say no.

I've heard nothin but bad things about insulin. A friend of mine from had a training partner in Poland that used it and went into a coma, plus, coupled with the risk of being made made more prone to diabetes in future life sounds sorta...well...not worth it

[Foggy06]

I use insulin because im a diabetic and when i heard that it was a steroid i laughed i cant believe people use it for bodybuilding!!

Unless you are a pro, just say no.

even then there are so many better compounds out there than insulin with a lot less risks.

I think that is like going one step forward, from the street AAS (Testosterone, Dianabol, Primobolan, etc.) to some more serious and dangerous stuff.
GH can make you look like a mutant, insulin can kill you in seconds ( like some pros with a lot more knowledge and experience that most of us ).
IMO.

Humulin R is generally easily obtained OTC in most states. It is Humalog that is Rx only. At least last time I checked. Insulin does require respect, but with education and proper caution, you can use it effectively. As most have stated here though, it is very dangerous. Hopefully I'm not overstepping my bounds, but if you want to know how I've used it in the past, dosing, diet, precautions and all, PM me. If this is out of line, mods edit it please.

Have been using insulin and HGH off and on for some time now. Insulin is a storage hormone and takes nutrients and gets them into the muscles. I find it to be a potent combo and have grown like hell when using insulin with HGH. The important thing is to start out with a very low dosage of insulin and work your way up to whatever works best for you. The important thing is to have plenty of of quick acting carbs available at all times after a shot of insulin. If you start experiencing blurry vision, tingling of lips or fingers, or dizziness it means you need a heavy influx of quick acting carbs immediately. Humulin R is active for about eight hours. Humalog is out of your body in about four. It works, just be prepared to use it responsibly or the consequences can be deadly.

here's a link (actually a sticky) about proper insulin usage.
