The Straight Goods on HGH
I wrote this article for the local paper after the health food stores had a run on HGH "homeopathic" as a result of earlier columns on HGH increase for anti-aging and Fat Wars. I know that sublingual HGH and homeopathic do not increase HGH or IGF-1 levels, and I didn't want anyone to be saying, "I tried that HGH crap -- didn't do nothin' fer me!!" based on anything I wrote. As the anti-aging specialists and sports nutritionists have found, there is indeed lots of crap out there, and generally HGH supplements are proven failures. . . . here's why:Duncan Crow

Judging by the calls I received, people are more interested in reducing their weight than living longer. But the process is the same; all I did was highlight different reasons to start the process. If you're fat, diabetic, arthritic, fatigued and have sleep disturbances and myalgia, you can change that if you want to; longevity is simply the natural outcome of optimal health.
Many people are deficient in the amino acid tryptophan, which is needed to produce melatonin (your sleep inducing hormone). Tryptophan also regulates intracellular water. High-alpha-lactalbumin whey protein isolates are excellent tryptophan containing proteins. They promote sleep, produce muscle mass, and produce glutathione; they are significant life extenders.
Human growth hormone (HGH) also promotes sleep and stimulates increased lean body mass, which is a significant life extender since depletion of lean body mass results in muscle weakness, organ failure and death. More than muscle size, lean body mass encompasses bone density, organ density and vitality, restoration of shrinking cells back to their normal size and restoration of intracellular and extracellular water.
Several people called to express confusion about the many supplements that claim to raise growth hormone levels. Some even thought they were buying concentrated HGH at the store for just a few bucks rather than a thousand or so. That sure would be the deal of the century. Indeed, some off-the-shelf products claim in large letters that they have HGH but disclaim it elsewhere for the falsehood it is. Real HGH is NOT available off-the-shelf in Canada. This is hype refined to a high art so let's deal with it right now.
Injectable HGH is effective but expensive, and although less expensive HGH increasers have been tried, doctors and health professionals have had uniformly disappointing results with them. Take, for example, homeopathic HGH or IGF-1. Even Dr Koch's patented longevity vitamin Vitacel GH7, which is nothing more than vitamins, outperforms both. Says Dr. Koch, "Three years of revealing market data shows escalating sales month after month on the GH7, with continual repeat sales... while 98% of the customers who bought homeopathic HGH and or IGF-1 never returned for another order." What went wrong? Nothing at all; any homeopath can tell you that seriously diluted HGH is not a real homeopathic mix, and the fact remains that certain blood concentrations are required for growth hormone to be effective.
You see, the liver must convert a portion of the HGH to its active form, insulinlike growth factor (IGF-1); lab analysis showed that if the IGF-1 levels in the blood did not increase by 30 ng/ml, the experiment failed. Dr. Ron Meyers, head of a multi-doctor longevity center in California, says the best product he found during his clinical studies through 1999 increased IGF-1 by only 2 or 3 mcg; the "strongest" oral HGH spray contains 1200 ng/ml before it enters your 5 liters of blood! Doing the math, you need not just a squirt, but 125 ml daily, or 4.5 of the one-ounce bottles even if it was all absorbed, and we know it is hardly absorbed at all. Through many years of trial, Dr. Myers and other health professionals established that about a hundred competing products failed to deliver on the HGH and IGF-1 promise and it would be decidedly unprofessional to recommend any of them.
Except one, and it's as elegant as it is simple. It's not available in stores in Canada; you buy it directly from the manufacturer. Health professionals immediately see its value because they know about HGH and about secretagogues. To distinguish this nugget from the gravels, the magic words to them are "crystalline, free-form amino acid stack". They know that's what facilitates the penetration through the blood-brain barrier. With this mix they see the same fantastic results that they were seeing with HGH injections in more than 90% of clients; that's why health professionals are the largest proponents of this new supplement. At last, doctors and health professionals have the ability to cost-effectively and reliably deliver the HGH and IGF-1.
By reliably, I refer again to Dr. Myers, who says that it works on everybody, and for diabetes II, regenerating the pancreas, weight loss, sleep disturbances, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, patients can improve in only matter of weeks instead of months or even years that nutritional therapies alone would commonly take. And in fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue cases, improvement can be noted that just wouldn't have happened previously. Hear it for yourself in Dr. Meyers' audio interview. (If the interview doesn't open, you need to install a free copy of the Real Video Player.)
When it comes to effective HGH supplements, rather than trying everything on the market to find out for yourself what won't work, doesn't it just make sense to use what the doctors found is reliable enough to stake their reputations on?
