HGH Secretagogues

Despite widespread marketing, HGH cannot be successfully used as an oral supplement because it is destroyed by stomach acid. Various amino acids and other supplements are marketed as HGH-releasers on the premise that they cause the body to increase HGH production. However, there is no reliable evidence that they actually do so to any meaningful extent.

Secretagogues
Secretagogues are preparations taken orally that are designed to stimulate the pituitary to secret more of our own (endogenous) growth hormone. Secretagogues are composed of amino acids or chains of amino acids called peptides.

The usefulness and benefit of these products is extremely variable, with the benefit ranging from moderate to none whatsoever.

A very large, and unfortunately, very deceptive industry has grown up around these products, and we recommend they be used only in a monitored program because they often simply don't work.

SCAM ALERT
For example, this website purports to tell the "truth" about HGH, based on the guidance of a Dr. Benson from Southern California. However a little research reveals that there is no Dr. Benson registered with the American Medical Association. This web site appears to be a thinly veiled advertisement for one particular brand of HGH Secretagogue.

Measuring the IGF-1 level prior to commencing, and three months after starting a secretagogue program will give you a much better idea of its benefit or lack thereof.

The only proven method of delivering HGH is through sub-cutaneous injection.

Feature Article

The History of HGH

Dr. Daniel Rudman first described the benefits of growth hormone therapy in normal aging adults in a landmark article in the New England Journal of Medicine on July 7th, 1990. In his article, Dr. Rudman showed that by injecting healthy aging men with growth hormone for six months, he was able to decrease their body fat by 14.4%, increase muscle mass by 8.8%, increase skin thickness by 7.1%, and increase lumbar bone density by 1.6%.

These exciting findings clearly inaugurated the movement to supplement growth hormone in healthy aging adults, which today is becoming commonplace.
