Understanding the 3 Ways You Can Add HGH, Human Growth Hormone, Into Your System
Human Growth Hormone was first discovered in 1956 and its structure was identified in 1972. It was extracted from cadavers, sold at very high prices, and injected with needles into the body. In mid-1998 the 191 chain Hgh molecule was genetically engineered in the laboratory. This is available to us now through a costly doctor’s pharmaceutical prescription, and secondly at a reasonable price through a homeopathic oral spray. The third therapy alternative would be Secretogogues and Stacked Amino products. The idea here is to coax your own body, by stimulating the Pituitary Gland, to produce more of it’s own Hgh.
So the consumer has these three choices: HGH spray, shots, or pills. With all three choices the goal is the same: to raise the measurable IGF-1 level. To discover which protocol is right for you we offer a short discussion below on all three therapies.
It should be noted that the Federal Drug Administration does not allow any nutritional product (hgh pills) to claim that it can “cure” any disease. The FDA does approve Pharmaceutical drugs and Homeopathic preparations to claim they can cure a particular disease and the testing to achieve this status is quite rigorous as we all know. A doctor is permitted to prescribe Human Growth Hormone to a patient for anti-aging even though it’s only approved by the FDA as a cure for dwarfism. The Pharmaceutical manufacturer is not permitted to suggest it’s use as an anti-aging therapy, only as a treatment for dwarfism, and one company ended up paying substantial fines and penalties for doing just that.
The large majority of Homeopathic remedies do, with FDA approval, claim to cure various ailments. Homeopathic HGH is one of only a handful of preparations that claims to “cure” nothing. 21st Century HGH is manufactured at an FDA monitored and approved laboratory. The curious difference between pharmaceutical HGH (hgh prescription shots) and homeopathic HGH is that even though the former injects huge amounts of the actual hormone, compared to only a miniscule amount in the homeopathic preparation (human growth hormone oral spray), the rejuvenation levels are remarkably similar!
Human Growth Hormone Pills:
Being very conservative the idea of stimulating my own body’s production of HGH through nutritional supplements sounded the most “natural” to me. However, the authoritative Physician’s Desk Reference Manual rates different forms of absorption by the body and yields eye-opening information. It says that when you swallow a pill, less than 10% of the nutrient actually gets into the blood stream. The other 90% is processed by the gastrointestinal tract as waste.
Oral absorption through the mucosa (the lining of the mouth) is the preferred choice of medical experts because the body absorbs 90% of the nutrient into the bloodstream. That’s a huge difference. What was not a big difference to us, but was still very interesting, was that oral absorption (90%) was higher than intra-muscular injection (80%).
So, piling a bunch of substances into my body in the form of stacked amino acids and secretagogues, most of which would actually pass through me, just to coax my Pituitary Gland into a little bit of action didn’t seem like a plan to me. Also, after a few months the Pituitary gland says, “no mas,” and refuses to get stimulated into action no matter what the supplemental dosage. Additionally, I was scared away by reports that taking stacked amino “growth hormone pills” can raise cortisol levels in your body, which is extremely unhealthy. So the choice then came down to actually putting the hormone into my body by way of shots or via oral sprays.
Human Growth Hormone Shots:
Almost all the Hgh sites will tell you that the cost for Hgh shots ranges between $10,000 and $20,000 per year. It doesn’t. You can easily find it available for around $3,000 per year and even lower if you go through Mexican pharmaceuticals. Needles today are very safe and generally painless. But sticking myself twice a day, twenty days per month, didn’t seem like a routine a healthy person should be doing, no matter how quick and easy it is. Call me squeamish if you like, I don’t care. This might suit some people, and if it does, you can consider going for it. Not me. Those taking Hgh injections should be aware that a few problems have been reported with “high” or “over” dosages, so anyone using this protocol would be wise to be clinically monitored on a regular basis by a physician.
HGH Spray:
So the HGH spray option was the one I chose, especially considering the fact that I didn’t know if the product would deliver what retailers were claiming. It seemed to be the most benign, risk free, gentle therapy that produced excellent results, and was reasonably priced between $500 and $1250 per year. The amounts of herbal and nutritional contents listed on a product label can be most misleading. What’s important is not the nutritional content listed on the label, but rather how much of that nutrient is actually absorbed into the cells of the body.
Sprays provide excellent absorption when micro-sized beads or droplets of a nutrient are taken into the body through the tissue lining of the mouth or nose. Blood capillaries are extremely close to the surface in these areas and readily absorb Hgh into the bloodstream. The flow of absorbed nutrients from this area of the mouth is to the Carotid Artery, then to the brain, and then on to the heart within 22 to 30 seconds. Within minutes, it is totally dispersed throughout the body.
As far as which spray is the best, it’s my belief that if and when independent clinical trials are made of all the spray products they will all basically be close in effectiveness. They all contain the same amounts of Somotrophin. Some add a little bit of this, some add a little bit of that. I chose the one I thought was most homeopathically prepared because I knew more care would have been taken in its manufacturing and it would probably be more gentle on my system.
The Human Growth Hormone market is beset by some overzealous marketeers who sometimes make claims that are somewhat misleading, especially in the area of hgh human growth hormone clinical studies. I’ve read through many entire websites which make claims, based on pharmaceutical HGH, that imply the same results will occur with their nutritional product. They are just “fast talking” their clientel. Learn as much as you can about Human Growth Hormone and make your own decision about which way you want to go. No matter what age you begin taking the product, you’ll enjoy the results.

HGH Supplementation - What Really Works An HGH Review
If you are at all interested in anti-aging news or nutritional supplements, you’ve probably heard about hGH or Human Growth Hormone. Although it is important to discuss what HGH is and how it works, the main focus of this article is to review the various types of HGH supplementation. Let’s briefly cover the basics.
What Is Growth Hormone?
GH is a hormone released by the pituitary gland. It generally releases the hormone in bursts. GH levels are high during puberty and then fall off. They remain stable during mid-adulthood (the 30s) but then decline progressively through old age. By the time many people reach 60, GH levels are very small. One third of the 60+ adults produce NO GH at all!
What Does It Do?
Why should we care about our GH levels? GH is important in repairing damaged tissue, promoting cell regeneration, enhancing muscle growth, burning fat, and supports healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Low GH levels could very well be the reason some of us age faster than others. Of course, heredity and life style choices factor into that.
Is There a Natural Way to Increase My GH Level?
That depends upon your age and present GH level. Factors that help with GH production are a low-fat, high protein diet, exercise, plenty of sleep and avoiding stress. If you are over 40 and feeling sluggish, chances are you may benefit from a GH supplement.
What Types of GH Supplements Are Available?
The ONLY type of HGH that has proven results is pure Growth Hormone given by injections. However, they require a doctor’s prescription, are expensive, and can have some side effects. Unless you’ve had your hormone levels tested and are suffering from a growth hormone deficiency, you may be able to see some benefit from less invasive supplementation.
Homeopathic HGH - Secretagogues
These are supplements that contain a small amount of actual synthetic growth hormone. They usually come in spray form and are have to meet FDA guidelines on how much HGH to include. The idea is to stimulate production of your own HGH by using a small amount of synthetic HGH.
HGH Releasers
These also come in spray form as well as pills and here’s where the confusion starts. The releasers contain amino acids which can stimulate HGH production but in fact, do not actually contain synthetic HGH. If you don’t know the difference between these two products, it’s easy to assume you are buying an actual HGH product when you aren’t. Read the ads carefully.
Which one works better? It’s probably a case of experimentation to see how your body responds. There are many doctors that claim none of the oral sprays work. There are also plenty of people using them that claim to see results. There are factors to consider when choosing a homeopathic spray - For more discussion and my recommendation, see the website below.
Nutritional Supplements
Nutritional supplements have been used by athletes and body builders for some time but only recently have started to catch on with the mainstream public as part of an anti-aging program. I’m not talking about the vitamin and mineral supplements, but specific amino acids that stimulate GH production.
The amino acids that stimulate the release the GH are arginine, lysine, ornithine, tyrosine and tryptophan. However, it has been discovered that only a specific type of arginine (arginine pyroglutamate) combined with L-lysine makes the best GH releaser. There are places that carry the right APG Lysine combination. For an inexpensive option, see the website below.
Important Factors to Know - Please read this
You may get better results if you DON’T take your GH releaser every day. It turns out that the body can develop a tolerance to GH supplementation. It depends upon your age and GH levels but every other day to only 2 or 3 times a week should be sufficient. It might also be helpful to change supplementations. Use the oral spray for a month or two, change to the nutritional supplements and then take a break from both for a month. Again, this would be part of your own personal experimentation.
Another important consideration is the use of aspirin or antihistamines. They have been shown to block the GH release and should not be taken within 8 hours before or after you take your GH supplement.
Fat or a fatty meal will also severely decrease the release of GH. Be careful what you eat before and after your supplementation.
In conclusion, HGH supplementation for people over 40 can prove to be part of an anti-aging regime. It’s important to do your research to avoid wasting your money. Do your own experimentation to see what works for you but be smart about it.

How Taking an HGH Supplement Changed My Life
I finally bought the stuff. I couldn’t resist anymore. After
hearing all of the great things HGH supplements could do, I
wanted to see if it was really true. I’d like to tell you
about my experience with HGH. Hopefully this will make it a
little easier for you to decide if it might be something
you’d want to try for yourself. What I’m talking about here
is non-prescription HGH releaser pills, not the injections
you need a doctor to give you. That’s only for people who
have around $10,000 a year to blow.
Be careful though. I wasted a lot of money when I first got
started by buying the wrong kinds of HGH supplements. I went
through quite a few of them before I finally found one that
worked.
I had two reasons for wanting to take an HGH supplement. I’d
heard so much hype about it on the Internet and in the media
that I wanted once and for all to see if this stuff really
worked. Most importantly though, I was searching for
something that would cure my continual tiredness. I was
constantly tired. Maybe it was even what they call chronic
fatigue syndrome. I’m not a doctor, so I can’t be sure.
Before I started taking HGH I was so exhausted all of the
time that I used to take a two hour nap every day after
work. I’d go to bed tired and wake up tired. I never quite
felt like a got a good night’s sleep. My blood pressure was
so high I had to take prescription drugs just to try to keep
it out of the danger zone. I was putting on extra weight and
was slowing down more and more each day. That just made me
feel even more depressed.
I was a wreck. I felt old. I just didn’t have any energy. I
suppose the junk food I ate didn’t help and I really didn’t
get much exercise either.
Every time my kids would ask me to take them to the park or
on a bike ride, my answer was always the same. “Sorry kids,
I’m just too tired”.
Damn it, I was getting fed up with it. Why was I always so
darned tired all the time. I went to the doctor but that
didn’t get me anywhere. I didn’t want to keep letting my
family down all the time either. I just wanted to feel good
again and have the energy to spend quality time with my wife
and kids. It just wasn’t fair to them. Every time they
wanted to do something or go somewhere I was always sleeping
on the couch.
Well I got so sick of it, I got on the Internet and started
searching for something that would make me feel good again.
I ran up my credit card buying stuff like coral calcium,
ginsing, vitamins, blue-green algae from Japan, you name it,
I bought it.
To make a long story shorter, I still didn’t feel any
better. I was still tired and had no energy. Then I tried an
HGH supplement. The first few I tried didn’t really do too
much except make my wallet lighter but the last one sure
did. Wow, did that make a difference! The website said it
might take a month or two to really start getting the
benefits of the product. But after the first week I already
started to feel better. I kept taking it and I kept feeling
better. I’ve been on it for a while now and I feel great. I
used to get the flu at least once or twice a year and
suffered from severe head and chest colds. I haven’t had
either since I started taking HGH.
I just plain feel good again. Better mood, more positive
outlook, I feel fitter, it even improved my concentration.
In fact, I feel just like a kid again. My energy levels have
gone through the roof since I started taking this HGH
supplement. When I wake up I feel like I really got a great
night’s sleep. I jump out of bed in the morning, get the
kids ready for school, put in a full day at work and then
come home and take the kids on a bike ride or a walk to the
park.
That, for me, is the biggest benefit of all. When my kids
come up to me and say, “can we go for a bike ride Dad?”, and
I can say “Sure, let’s go!”. No more, “sorry kids, I’m just
to tired”.
Now, I haven’t had to take my blood pressure pills for
months. The last time I went to see my doctor my blood
pressure was 118 over 74. It hasn’t been that low in ages.
My wife and friends all thought it was a big joke when I
bought my first bottle of HGH pills. They all reminded me of
several pieces of exercise equipment I had purchased in the
last few years that were gathering dust in the basement.
Well, no ones laughing now. They all notice how much extra
energy I have now. My weight has gone down and I’m feeling
really fit. My kids are happy too. Now they have a dad who’s
not always sleeping on the couch.
My wife, who won’t even take vitamins, even wanted to try it
when she found out how young it made skin look. I’m a guy,
so I wasn’t really going for the young looking skin stuff,
but oh well, If it makes the wife happy, it makes me happy
too. A little side note: My buddy bought a bottle for his
wife and she said how nice it made her face and skin look.
Well, that’s all it took. My wife just had to have it too. I
hope she doesn’t read this part 
Final note: While I must admit, at first I was very
skeptical about HGH supplements, I now take my HGH
supplement every single day without fail. I’m going to stick
with it. I’ve tried a lot of supplements that didn’t do much
for me until I found the one HGH supplement that really
delivers what it promises. So now I recommend it to everyone
I know. In fact, I had so many people asking about it that I
created a website devoted to HGH facts and information.
It worked for me and for everyone I’ve recommended it to.
I never get tired of seeing the expression on their face
when they come back and say “Wow, that stuff you told me
about really works!”.

in general and the name of the HGH supplement I personally
use, you can read more detailed information about the
product and see the scientific data I have collected on HGH
