When do lifters usually bring this into discussion?
I’d wait until initial inflammation settles usually 10-14 days minimum
Too early can disrupt natural healing phases Let the acute phase finish first
I prefer starting after stitches are out and no infection risk
Collagen formation is already high early adding IGF too soon may not help.
Around week 2–3 feels safer in most cases
Depends on surgery type orthopedic vs cosmetic timing differs.
Blood glucose control matters monitor closely
Make sure bleeding has fully stopped before introducing anything anabolic
Never during active infection or delayed wound closure
Low-dose localized protocols are safer than systemic blasts
