Secretagogue Gold HGH Review March 2nd, 2009

hgh

Secretagogue Gold is a very popular growth hormone product – for good reason.

This powder based growth hormone product has components that have surely impressed different users.

However, you don’t just jump into the bandwagon. You need to take a look at what they offer in their label to make sure you get great results from the product.

Secretagogue Gold is composed of the following ingredients:

•    Calories – 45
•    Sodium – 55mg
•    Potassium – 200mg
•    Total Carbohydrate – 6g (Dietary Fiber 0g, Sugars 4g)
•    Vitamin B1 (as thiamine HCL) – 0.5mg
•    Niacin – 6.6mg
•    Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCL) – 0.67mg
•    Folate (as folic acid) – 133mcg
•    Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin) – 2mcg
•    Pantothenic acid (as D-calcium pantothenate) – 3.3mg
•    Magnesium (as magnesium oxide) – 132mg
•    Manganese (as manganese sulfate) – 0.67mg
•    Zinc (as zinc citrate) – 5mg
•    Chromium (as chromium dinicotinate glycinate) – 100mcg
•    Polymer Transport Matrix – 5,900mg
•    Secretagogue Augmenting Factors – 5,220mg
•    Secretagogue Modulating Complex – 466mg
•    Pituitary Support & IGF-1 Co-Factors – 245mg

You have to be impressed on the amount of IGF-1 as well as the amino acid stack they have provided.

The stack of the product is found in Secretagogue Augmenting Factors which is composed of the following amino acids:

•    Glycine
•    L-glutamine
•    L-tyrosine
•    GABA
•    L-citruline
•    Alpha GPC (glycerylphosphorycholine)
•    pyroglutamic acid
•    L-lysine (as L-lysine HCL)
•    Broad bean (L-dopa)

The product provides more than enough amino acids so that you can feel its effects.

The minimum requirement is 5 grams and at 5,220mg, you’ll have more than what you need to stimulate the pituitary gland.

There are only two concerns that you should think of in this product. First, is that the exact amount of each amino acid is not included (a common for proprietary blend).

The second problem is that it comes in powder which means additional preparation is required.

You need to be careful in preparing the product or else you can’t achieve any results.

Humagro HGH Review March 2nd, 2009

hgh

HumagroHumagro is a “pellet” based growth hormone product. It’s relatively affordable and use could be highly controlled compared to other growth hormone products such as spray and injection.

But the fact that it’s a pellet doesn’t mean it could be effective for those who are seeking to increase growth hormones in their body.

This product is probably a little bit odd for those who re really familiar with basic components of different growth hormone products.

To fully understand why it’s a little bit odd, consider the lone ingredient:

Growth Hormone 4C

Regularly, the measurement “C” is growth hormones are only used in spray or injection based growth hormone products.

There is only one explanation why is this component for solid product – the spray based Humagro was converted into solid.

But the component added to make it a solid pellet was not added. All you have is a single component which is almost impossible to be made into solid.

Besides, 4C is a very weak concentration for a growth hormone. To give you a clear idea, 4C is composed of a drop of growth hormone combined with 100,000,000 drops of water.

1C means a component has been combined with 100 parts of water in the same amount.

Although 4C could be a little bit more concentrated compared to other growth hormone products (some could even reach 100C), it’s still very small to be considered as an effective product.

Another concern with the product is that it claims to be a homeopathic solution to growth hormone problem. Homeopathic are only those that stimulates instead of injecting the actual component.

This confusion will only be realized to those who are not familiar.

In the case of growth hormones, there are many ways to stimulate the pituitary gland (the source of growth hormones) but adding an actual growth hormone is not one of them.

Although the product is only $33 a month, the amount you pay for it is not worth it since there is a big chance you will not feel any effect at all.

Life Renewal HGH Review March 2nd, 2009

hgh

Life Renewal Life Renewal HGH is a product manufactured by a relatively small company called Reunion Health. But even though the company is small, this product is no easy feat to emulate.

It’s a well reviewed growth hormone product that is increasingly growing in popularity.

To fully understand why it’s gaining popularity, let’s take a look at the components:

Vitamin C – 20mg
Vitamin B6 – 2.5mg
Vitamin B2 – 2.5mg
Arginine – 2000mg
Ornithine – 2000 mg
Glutamine – 2000 mg
Lysine – 2000 mg
Valine – 2000 mg
Glycine – 1000 mg
GABA – 500 mg

Notice the simplicity of the formulation. Some would say that it’s too simple to work but in this case, simplicity would probably provide results. This particular growth hormone product doesn’t have any proprietary blends or fancy additional ingredients that could only dazzle the users but doesn’t have any effect. They instead focused on amino acids which could greatly assist in stimulating the pituitary gland.

Before we go further, the only way amino acids could work in the body is when it reaches 5 grams. Anything less than that will most likely be worthless. In this case, the total amount of amino acids is 11,500mg or 11.5 grams – more than enough to stimulate the system.

But there are two downsides for this product:

The first downside is the amount of amino acids. Although you can say they are effective, they pose a threat to those who are too eager to improve through growth hormones.

Growth hormones are a very sensitive component of the body that it will not only affect the body but the mind as well.

They could even have dangerous repercussions if they are not taken as directed. If you’re planning to take this, be sure to seek your doctor’s advice first.

The second is not really a downside but a potential that they haven’t realized. They could have improved the efficiency of their product if they added a few more amino acids.

But still, this product could be a great option for a growth hormone product

BioRenew Real HGH plus IGF-1 Review March 2nd, 2009

hgh

BioRenewBioRenew Real HGH plus IGF-1 is a spray based HGH supplement. It claims to be effective because of the ingredients that the manufacturer opted to add to their product.

But right off the bat, this product can’t be your ideal HGH supplement. There are too many discrepancies and possible dangers this product may give you.

Let’s start with the ingredients:

•    Somatotropin (HGH) & IGF-1 6x, 12x, 30x
•    Abrotanum 10x 30x 100x
•    Anacardium Orientale 10x 30x 100x
•    Arsenicum Album 10x 30x 100x
•    Baryta Carbonica 10x 30x 100x
•    Baryta Muriatica 10x 30x 100x
•    Calcarea Carbonica 10x 30x 100x
•    Calcarea Fluorica 10x 30x 100x
•    Calcarea Phosphorica 10x 30x 100x
•    Ferrum Metallicum 10x 30x 100x
•    Fucus Vesiculosus 10x 30x 100x
•    Hekla Lava 10x 30x 100x
•    Helleborus Niger 10x 30x 100x
•    Ignatia Amara 10x 30x 100x
•    Lycopodium Clavatum 10x 30x 100x
•    Nicotinamidum 10x 30x 100x
•    Secale Cornutum 10x 30x 100x
•    Silicea 10x 30x 100x
•    Chromium Oxidatum 8x, 12x
•    Cobaltum Metallicum 8x, 12x
•    Magnesium Metallicum 8x, 12x
•    Manganum Metallicum 8x, 12x
•    Calcarea Sulphurica 6x
•    Magnesium Phosphorica 6x

MicroEnergy® Nutritionals

•    MicroEnergy® Enhanced Water
•    HGH Release Factor
•    NCD Zeolite
•    Pituitary (non animal)
•    MSM
•    Colostrum (non animal)
•    RNA-DNA (non animal)
•    Selenium
•    Ginseng
•    Ornithine
-    plus hundreds of additional MicroEnergy® frequencies.
•    10% USP alcohol
•    8% USP vegetable glycerin

Aside from the number of ingredients added in this product, the variety of concentration should alarm you. Almost every form of concentration conceivable for a product has been made in this product.

But variety is not always the answer for an effective HGH product.

The massive ingredients should also provide increased side effects – mostly without any side effect at all.

There are also two components in this product that should concern you:

Pituitary (non animal) – There’s no way pituitary could be found in plants or any other non-animals.

The pituitary could only be found in an endocrine system – a component that any plant would not have. This is also the same for their Colostrum (non-animal) claim.

Colostrum could only be produced by the mammary gland.

Synthetic Somatotropin – the product claims to have additional Somatotropin because they were able to create something like it in a lab.

But that’s impossible since Somatotropin could only be found in the pituitary gland.

In short: stay away from this product.

GHR15 Review March 2nd, 2009

hgh

GHR15 ReviewGHR15 is one of the oldest growth hormone products in the industry. This capsule based formula has been in the market since 1999 and its popularity only seems to be improving slowly.

But even though the product have been increasing in popularity; its efficiency is still questioned by most users who eventually stopped using the product.

GHR15 comes in capsule form – far better than other spray or products that need to be injected since the formula has already been captured and might not be taken more than it should be.

To fully understand the product, here’s the formulation:

•    Anterior Pituitary, bovine source 20 mg
•    Hypothalamus 5 mg
•    Amino Acid blend 300 mg
•    (Essential Amino Acids)
•    Phytosterol Complex 10 mg
•    Beta sitosterol
•    Campestrol
•    Stigmasterol
•    Soy Phosphatide Complex 20 mg
•    Phytosterol serene 40%
•    Phytosterol choline
•    Phytosterol ethanolamine
•    Phytosterolinositol
•    Panax Ginseng 20 mg

There are two things that should impress you in this product – the anterior pituitary and the essential amino acids. The amino acids included in this product are the following:

•    L Arginine
•    L-Lysine
•    L Glutamine
•    L Glycine
•    L Pyroglutamate
•    L Tyrosine
•    Gamma-aminobutyric acid

But aside from the bovine ingredient and amino acids, the rest are only “supplements” which will never work if there is no additional effort from the user.

The amino acid stack is not even that extensive to really help but you have to give them credit that it has been added to the capsule.

To compensate with the lack of amino acids, the company opted to sell the product for only $49.95.

But search other reputable websites because some sell the same product with as much as $20 discount.

In the end, GHR15 is just a product that bases its efficiency on anterior pituitary.

This ingredient could trigger a short term improvement in your body but after the initial response, your body will most likely stop responding.

There are better products based on anterior pituitary in the market today.

Maximum Results HGH Complex Review March 2nd, 2009

hgh

Maximum Results HGHMaximum Results HGH Complex is a spray based growth hormone product. They label their products as the “doctor’s choice.”

But if you take a closer look on the “doctors” that made the choice, they are basically doctors of alternative medicine and the other one is only a nurse. Right from the start, the testimonials are generally dubitable.

The active ingredients of Maximum Results HGH Complex are a little bit difficult to be found in their website. But after some digging in, here are the components:

•    Pituitary Extract 12x
•    Liver Extract 3x
•    Korean Ginseng Extract 1x
•    Arnica Montana 3X
•    Acidium Phosporicum 3x
•    Carduus Maianus 1x

You have to admit, the concentration is a little bit better compared to other products.

You might have already seen spray based growth hormone products to have 30x which is a very loose concentration.

The Korean ginseng, liver extract and carduss maianus have a high concentration – but only when you compare them to other spray based products. This type of concentration is still small in itself to have some effects.

Besides the pituitary extract, which is the most important component in this product, is already on 12x which is already a loose concentration.

To fully understand the “x” concentration, 1x means a drop of the component is mixed with 10 drops of water. For 3x, the ratio should be 1000 (three zeros) drops of water mixed with a drop of another content.

If you have 12x, the drops of water would be too much for the product to have an effect.

The worst part of the product is on its price. Normally the product would be sold at $89.95 but they are currently having it on sale (which could be forever) so that you can buy it for a lot less if you buy three bottles.

But that’s very expensive for a growth hormone product. You can purchase vitamin supplements and have the same components with better effects at a lesser price.

The term “doctor’s choice” should never sway you into purchasing this product.

Secretagogue HGH Plus Review March 2nd, 2009

hgh

vibrant lifeSecretagogue HGH Plus is a flavored growth hormone powder. To be more specific Secretagogue HGH Plus comes in orange flavor which eases the intake for most users.

But the fact that it tastes good doesn’t necessarily mean that the product could provide the expected results.

We look into the label to know the product’s efficiency:

•    Amino Acids Blend (USP Grade Materials) – 1000mg
o    Citrulline
o    L-Glutamine
o    Glycine
o    L-Lysine
o    L-Tyrosine
o    Glutamic Acid
o    L-Argenine
o    GABA
•    ZMA – 50mg
•    Niacinamide – 10mg
•    Broad Bean – 10mg

Although the product is trying its best to be a stimulant of the pituitary gland for growth hormone secretion, it is very lacking in volume.

For the product to be effective in terms of amino acids, it needs to reach at least 5grams. 1gram of amino acids will almost amount to nothing.

You need to increase the dosage for at least five times just to feel the full effects of the growth hormone product but this could greatly jeopardize your health since there are other components in the product.

Speaking of other components, ZMA or zinc monomethionine aspartate should be a point of concern.

Although this contains only Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6 the source of the formula didn’t come from a reliable source.

SNAC Systems Inc. or more particularly its president Victor Conle has been in numerous scandals with regards to steroids. Conle was even part with the Barry Bonds steroids case.

Last but not the least; the product comes in powder form. Although the product comes in packets so that you can easily prepare the concoction, the hassle of getting it right could be frustrating.

You need to measure the water and carefully prepare the product so that you don’t end up with too many water or the lack of it.

This product is also very expensive. Spending $69.00 a month for this product is not worth it and could be even dangerous for your health.

There are other products that have more amino acids and no dangerous components added.

Ultimate HGH Review March 2nd, 2009

hgh

ultimate-hghUltimate HGH has a distinct marketing ploy to entice users around the country.

They always claim that the product is “as seen on TV” because of their numerous infomercials.

As the “ultimate” product in terms of growth hormone stimulation, they always make it a point to mention the infomercial to remind the possible clients of the effectiveness of the product.

But even if they run an infomercial of Ultimate HGH 24/7 around the country, the efficiency of their product is still the same.

They need to revamp their formulation so that they would be able to show to the users and their viewers that the product is actually the real thing.

Here are the ingredients for the ultimate HGH:

•    Amino Peptide Complex (Provides 30% Glutamine Peptides) 2,000 mg
•    Colostrum (Provides 500 nanograms of platelet derived growth factor) 150 mg
•    Tribulus Terrestris (Provides 40% Furastanol Saponins) 500 mg
•    Citrus Complex (Contains 18% Naringinine) 50 mg
•    Chrysin (98% pure 5,7 Dehydroxyflavone) 10 mg
•    Phosphatidyl Serin 2.5 mg
•    Phosphatidyl Choline    2.5 mg

There are two problems in the list of ingredients: the first problem is the actual content of Amino Peptide Complex.

Although it’s a standard belief that the amino peptide complex is composed of amino acids for stimulation of the pituitary gland, the type and amount of amino acids is never indicated.

This is downright dangerous for the users since some components might not work well with the body of the user. The second problem is in the admission that the amino acids added are actually good.

But the fact that the product is only 2,000mg in amino acid content should not get your hopes up in increasing your growth hormones.

The additional ingredients will also fell short on the required 5,000 (5 grams) amino acids for maximum efficiency.

The only good thing about Ultimate HGH is that it comes in tablet form which means intake and control is very easy.

However, this product will again set you back by $59.95 which is a very expensive price for tablet based growth hormone.

Secretagogue One HGH Review March 2nd, 2009

hgh

secretagogue-oneSecretagogue One is a well recognized growth hormone supplement.

The product is manufactured by Maximum Human Performance – also known as the makers of different Secretagogue products which are also geared towards improvement of the growth hormones.

But even though the product has been deemed as good, there are certain things that you need to remember to ensure success and avoid any dangerous side effects.

The success of Secretagogue One is based on the simplicity but efficiency of the formulation:

•    Calories 45
•    Sodium 55mg
•    Potassium 200mg
•    Total Carbohydrate 6g
•    Sugars 4g
•    Amino Acid Blend 5,000mg
•    Anterior Pituitary Substance 25mg
•    Glycoamino Acid-Glucose Complex 4,200 mg
•    Novel Polyose Complex Glucose Polymers 1,700 mg
•    Broad Bean 10 mg

Secretagogue One doesn’t have those fancy HGH products such as somatropin which will only endanger your body. The product has focused instead on stimulation on the pituitary glands and they seemed to have the right component to do that.

The amino acid blend is at 5000mg or 5grams – the required amount for the amino acid to stimulate the pituitary gland to release growth hormones. What’s more, the acid-glucose complex which is almost the same amount should increase reception of the amino acids.

There are even products that tried to emulate the actual formulation of Secretagogue One. However, since they obviously copied the formula, they didn’t really become popular.

And Secretagogue One is a unique product since it doesn’t come as a capsule or pellet – the product is in powder form.

But the powder form of growth hormone stimulator has its disadvantages. Further preparation is still needed so that the product will be successfully ingested.

Capsule and pellet forms are very easy to ingest while powder requires further preparation. You need to have the right amount of water and finish the concoction no matter what it tastes.

Secretagogue One is no miracle growth hormone product. You are still required to follow a healthy diet as well as regular exercise so that the components will be fully implemented in the body.

Beverly International GH Factor Review March 2nd, 2009

hgh

bv-009Beverly International GH Factor is a growth hormone pill-based supplement. It promises to effectively increase your growth hormone as each pill is composed of components known for its efficiency in this field.

The product could also be combined with other products made by the same manufacturer for advanced weight loss and aggressive muscle development.

This form of supplement is only composed of two ingredients: Arginine Pyroglutamate (2400mg) and Lysine Monohydrochloride (2400mg).

It has a simplistic approach to HGH increase which is actually better compared to complicate ingredients which could only increase the side effects to the body.

However, this simplistic approach to HGH has a price. The body will show some results with this pill. Since the body has encountered these components for the first time, it will react accordingly.

Given the amount found in each pill, this might show some actual results. But this result is only temporary.

As the body will become increasingly familiar with the product, the efficiency of the same product will lessen overtime.

There will be a day that the product will not have any effect at all. You’ll be forced to use more potent products which will be very expensive.

Another shortcoming of the product is the price. At first glance you already have a good deal for $35 (Web Promo).

But if you take a look around in other websites and in even local pharmacies, there are products with Arginine and Lysine that could be bought for a considerably lesser price.

The recommended dosage also varies and might be costly. If you’re looking to have full efficiency of the product, you have to take six pills in the morning and six pills in the evening.

That means you have to take 12 pills in one day! With only 180 pills per bottle, you only have enough supply for 15 days. You have to buy two or more bottles to have maximum effects.

Beverly International’s growth hormone supplement has provided some considerable formula. But with the price and its short term effect, this product might only disappoint.
