Live Young Oral HGH Review May 8th, 2009

hgh

The name of the product sounds like an oral spray growth hormone supplement.

But Live Young Oral HGH is actually a tablet form supplement that claims to help those who use them improve their growth hormone significantly.

But if you scrutinize the product, you’ll realize that their effects that they claim might not be there at all.

Live Young Oral HGH has only one active ingredient:

USP Recombinant Human Growth Hormone 6C+100C+200C

Let’s divide the ingredient into two – the actual product and its concentration.

USP Recombinant Human Growth Hormone is a product that you should not take if this was prescribed by your doctor. That means you need to have a certain health condition to be qualified to have this.

If you just take this without any recommendation, you are placing your body in great danger.

Their claim that they use homeopathic techniques is not true since they do not stimulate production but actually provides additional growth hormone.

Although this might sound good since you’re taking in HGH instead of stimulating your body but the side effects could be dangerous. That is why only a doctor could administer HGH to their patients.

The concentration (6C+100C+200C) is probably the reason why the manufacturer was able to get away with producing an oral product with HGH.

This form of concentration is very low – even lower that the “x” concentration you’ll usually see in other growth hormone products.

The concentration “C” means there is one part of a product mixed with 100 parts of another product. In the growth hormone industry, 1C means 1 drop of HGH combined with 100 drops of water.

You add two zeros when you have 2C and so forth. If you have 200C, the number of zeros that would depict the amount of water mixed with a single drop of HGH will be too much to write.

The amount of HGH is practically nothing – it was already dissolved in the inactive component which is usually water.

Although you’ll usually see this at a discounted price from $49.95, the discount offered is not really worth it.

Z Labs hGH Release Review May 7th, 2009

hgh

zlabsZ Labs hGH Release is a growth hormone stimulator. The product comes in capsule form which is good since you can easily control your intake of the product.

But its efficiency is questionable because of the certain components that are not easily cleared out by the manufacturer.

To know more about the “cloudy” area of growth hormone product, here is the product’s formulation:

•    Proprietary Blend of the following components (total 2895mg):
o    L-Glutamine
o    Arginine Pyroglutamate
o    Glucose Polymers
o    GABA
o    L-Lysine
o    Alpha GPC
o    L-Glysine
o    Ornithine Alpha-Ketogluaric (OKG)
o    Colostrum
o    Anterier Pituitary (extract)
o    DMAE
o    Broad Bean
o    Bioperine®
•    Vitamin B5 – 10mg
•    Calories – 2
•    Carbohydrates – more than 1g

The cloudy part of the formulation is the specification of the actual amount of each component. This usually happens with proprietary blend of the company.

By concealing the actual amount of each component, they are preventing other companies from copying the formula. But they are doing this at the expense of the consumer. The consumers need to be informed of amount of each component for their safety.

But even though they would indicate each amount in the proprietary blend, the product will fall short on the amount of amino acid required to induce any increase of human growth release from the pituitary gland.

The amino acid content needs to reach at least 5 grams per serving. The blend is only 2895mg – way below than the target. But you have to give them credit in adding Vitamin B5 which will help in strengthening the internal organs.

In the end, the product falls short of the expectations since it has not specified any useful content in their proprietary blend.

The redeeming factor of Vitamin B5 and the capsule form may be good enough to make it better compared to other products.

It’s also relatively affordable: $39.95 with a 90-day money back guarantee. But Z labs hGH Release could have been improved so that the product will live up to its name.

Primo GH Stak Review May 7th, 2009

hgh

primo-ghPrimo GH Stak is a capsule based growth hormone supplement.

This product is also known simply as GH Stak so that customers could easily remember this growth hormone supplement.

But even with the changes in name, this particular growth hormone product has a big chance that it will not live up to its claim in increasing growth hormone in your body.

This product contains a proprietary blend of 4500mg which is composed of the following:

•    GABA
•    L-Arginine Pyroglutimate
•    L-Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate
•    Lysine
•    Macuna Pruriens (standardized for 10% L-Dopa)
•    New Zealand Colostrum
•    Alpha-Glycerylphosphorylchloline
•    L-Glutamine
•    Zinc
•    Magnesium (asparate)
•    Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCL)

You have to admit that the amino acid components of the product look good. However, the amino acid content didn’t reach 5grams in total amount.

The proprietary blend only reached 5grams and some of them are not even amino acids. That means the amino acid content in the growth hormone capsule is a lot lower that expected.

There is also a standing problem about proprietary blends. The label only places the total weight of the entire formula instead of writing down the specific amount per component.

This should create some concern to those who wanted to use the product since they do not know the exact content of each component in the formulation.

This is very dangerous for most consumers since some components might be too much for them while other components might be too little to provide an exact effect.

The measurement provided in the label is even based on 6 capsules. This is the common practice of growth hormone products so that they will not produce a product that might cause over dosage.

Although this is only a supplement, improper use of this product could have fatal consequences.

The product could be purchase for $79.95 for one month supply.

But the supplements listed there could also be found in other vitamin supplements and they would cost a lot less compared to Primo GH Stak.

Ageforce Continuous Sequence HGH Oral Spray Review May 7th, 2009

hgh

Ageforce is a relatively popular brand for HGH related products. One of their products is the Continuous Sequence HGH Oral Spray. They have this lengthy title for their product because an alternative nasal spray is available.

But even with the changes in the name and how the oral product is used, its efficiency is still the same – most likely next to nothing.

At first glance this product by Ageforce has a very impressive set of ingredients. But if you’ve been in this industry for sometime, you’ll notice that something is just not right with the ingredients used by Agreforce.

In particular, the concentration and the number of ingredients in this product are highly questionable.

Here are the ingredients of the product:

•    Somatotrophin (HGH 3C/30C)
•    12 Cell Minerals
•    All Amino Acids 10X/30X
•    GHRH 3C/30C
•    Cervi Cornu (Contains IGF-1) 3C/30C
•    Zinc Met. 3X/6X
•    Albumin 5X
•    ATP 5X
•    Spirulina 3X/6X/12X/30X
•    Chlorella 3X/6X/2X/30x
•    L-Arginine 6X/12X/30X/60X/200x
•    GABA 6X
•    B Vitamins 1X
•    L-Lysine 6X/12X/30X/60X/200X,
•    In a base of: 10% Alcohol (USP)
•    8% Glycerine (USP)
•    QS Purified Water

They do have an impressive set of ingredients. But for a product to be effective, it doesn’t need to have massive dosage of different amounts.

A good HGH product should only have a single concentration to stimulate the pituitary glands for additional growth hormones.

As indicated by their ingredients, the product has ingredients that have three concentrations which places the user in very dangerous grounds because the intensity might not work well with the body. L-Lysine even has five concentrations which is more than enough for an individual could take.

The concentration of the product also increases significantly since the product comes in spray form. Although using spray sounds very convenient, the effect could be very dangerous since you can’t easily control the intake of this product.

If they could make a pill based product instead of uncontrolled spray and reduce the variety of concentration, this product might be fairly reasonable for users.

ResveraTropin Homeopathic HGH with Resveratrol Review May 6th, 2009

hgh

ResveraTropin Homeopathic HGH with Resveratrol is a mouthful for a title of an HGH product.

The product comes in as spray based which already means a lot of concerns for most users.

But still, this product has a unique background that should not be ignored. This is one of the products that were featured by Barbara Walters on her show on longevity.

Because of the spotlight, it has become one of the most popular products in the market today.

But popularity doesn’t mean efficiency as you’ll see later.

If you take a look at the ingredients, you’ll realize that the product is nothing more than a homeopathic growth hormone product:

•    Somatropin
•    Avena Sativa
•    Arginine
•    Glutamine
•    Lysine
•    Ornithine
•    Alfalfa
•    Sulphur
•    Lycopodium Clavatum
•    Resveratrol

You’ll notice that there are no additional labels in the product in terms of volume of concentration.

Although there is one website that has posted the formula of the product, the official website of ResveraTropin does not post any additional information except for the advantages of the components.

Obviously, the unique feature of the product is the Resveratrol. In itself, Resveratrol could be a good source of supplements especially for anti-aging.

However, the process of extraction of ResveraTropin may not be proven effective in terms of harnessing Resveratrol.

The company extracts the Resveratrol from red wines. By harnessing this component, users will experience the health effect of a 1,000 red wine bottles without the dangerous alcohol and additional side effects.

Although this sounds good, there is only one problem: there is Resveratrol in red wine.

Aside form that fact, Resveratrol is still in its early stages and no popular article and study have been written about this product.

Even though the addition of Resveratrol is now dubitable, it didn’t stop the manufacturer in jacking up their prices. A single bottle that will last for a month will cost you a whopping $99.95.

Their website will try to offer you a free product (you only pay for shipping) but you have to agree that you need to cancel on time or else be automatically billed for more bottles.

HGA (Human Growth Agent) Review May 6th, 2009

hgh

human-growth-agentHuman Growth Agent or HGA looks like decent name for a growth hormone product. But aside from its name, what you’ll get is a highly dubitable product that might cause more damage than good to your body.

You need to watch out for this type of products because they are just out there to get your money and leave you alone even if the product doesn’t work.

There are three reasons why you don’t want to use this product: the product is in spray form, comes in very small components and it has unknown additional components.

The spray form should automatically alert you on the efficiency of the product. Using spray as a growth hormone stimulator will only cause extremes of effects and rarely the correct one.

The mere fact that sprays can’t control the amount sprayed to your mouth could be dangerous. You could experience the full side effects or not experience the effect at all.

The next reason why you don’t have to purchase this product is that the ingredients that comes with the formula. There are only two known ingredients in HGA:

•    Growth Factor Complex 2000 ng (Nanograms)
•    HGA Stimulator 1000 ng

If there’s any reaction that should come from these components, it should be concern and hesitation: concern for those who wanted to purchase this product and hesitation to purchase this product for you.

A nanogram is very small (1/1millionth of a gram) component. Even if it comes in thousands, it is still very small. They are not even indicating the exact components of the Growth Factor Complex and HGA Stimulator which is of course too difficult to do.

This brings us to the last fact that should make you hesitate in purchasing the product: it has unknown components.

Nanograms, even in spray form, are only a fraction. But the manufacturers did not add any additional ingredients to the formula.

This makes this product very dangerous since the unknown components make up more than 95% of the product. You don’t want anything unknown swallowed or, worse, become part of your bloodstream.

Pure GH Releaser Review May 6th, 2009

hgh

Pure GH Releaser is a capsule based growth hormone product.

The product aims to fulfill its promise of being an anti-aging capsule by providing amino acids in the body.

The amino acids are believed to be stimulants of the pituitary gland which is the source of growth hormones.

The ingredients are as follows:

•    Homeopathic HGH (Somatropin) 400mg
•    Anterior Pituitary 80mg
•    Adrenal Gland 50mg
•    Hypothalamus 20mg
•    L Glutamine 200mg
•    L Arginine 200mg
•    L Pyroglutamate 200mg
•    L Glycine 200mg
•    L Lysine 200mg
•    L Tyrosine 200mg
•    Creatine 200mg
•    Siberian Ginseng 300mg

The list of amino acids is impressive since they have covered the essential amino acids to stimulate the pituitary glands. However, the total amino acids found in the product are never enough to be considered as effective.

The required amount of amino acids in the product to be effective should be 5 grams.

In this case, the total amount of active ingredient can’t reach that amount even if you add somatropin and other homeopathic ingredients. That means the product will never be able to stimulate the pituitary glands.

The homeopathic ingredients of the product are also highly questionable. Homeopathic solution to growth hormone problem is always questioned since the original concept of growth hormone improvement is through injection.

Somehow, through “medical advancement,” growth hormone could be easy stimulated in the body. Besides homeopathic solution to growth hormone problems is measured not by weight but by concentration such as 1x, or 1c.

There are only two components in the product that could provide some effect. The anterior pituitary should give you a small increase of growth hormone.

But other than the initial effect, it will not work anymore since your body will require stronger dosage.

The Siberian ginseng is only there to provide you with a “shock” since the immediate effect of this ingredient is the sudden increase of energy.

Although this product has few ingredients that could improve growth hormone, it’s not enough for significant growth.

A cheaper alternative is just to buy a vitamin supplements with the right amount of amino acids.

Proderm HGH Seal Review May 6th, 2009

hgh

Proderm HGH Seal is a unique product developed by Newton-Everett. The company is well known for manufacturing other growth hormone supplements and this product is no different.

The uniqueness of Proderm HGH Seal is based on how it is being used. Instead of the regular pill, capsule, spray or injection, the product is a seal placed in your arms.

You let the seal stay for 12-hours and feel the full effects of growth hormone components in the product. This is highly recommended for those who are too busy or having a hard time remembering on taking the product.

The product only comes with a single ingredient:

•    Somatotrophin (HGH) 3C/30C 3,600ng

Although there is only one ingredient in the product, the labeling is quite confusing. 3C/30C refers to the amount of concentration.

This is usually found on spray based growth hormones and injections. The ng (nanograms) on the other hand is often used in pills and capsules. The “c” refers to volume while “ng” refers to the weight. They just don’t go together.

But even if one of those measurements is true, the efficiency might not be there. The “c” refers to the amount of concentration per hundreds. For 3C, a drop of somatotrophin is mixed with 1,000,000 drops of water.

The nanograms are a very, very small component that will never be felt at all. Even though it has more than 3,600 nanograms, they are basically a lot less than milligrams.

The use of somatotrophin should also be questioned. Somatotrophin is only found in humans released by the pituitary gland.

If somatotrophin is actually present in the product, the only way it could be extracted is when it was taken out from a deceased person.

This is highly illegal and the component has already been banned for at least 2 decades.

Last but not the least, the product is too expensive. For a 30-day supply, you have to spend no less than $70.00 on the product.

This is very expensive for a patch that contains virtually no growth hormones which is even illegal.

GHP Youth Formula Review May 6th, 2009

hgh

somalife-ghp-youth-formulaThis product by Somalife Internation Inc. is a growth hormone supplement that uses mainly amino acids to stimulate the pituitary gland.

It’s the “softer version” of gHP Sport Formula which is specifically made for athletic individuals who wanted to keep their performance in an optimal level.

But no matter what version you take, the effects of these products will be exactly the same.

Both products have exactly the same formula which means you don’t have to be an athlete to use the gHP Sport because the contents of the capsule doesn’t differ one bit.

The formula for gHP Youth and gHP Sport are the following:

•    L-Lysine HCL 1302 mg
•    L-Arginine 1302 mg
•    L-Ornithine HCL 798 mg
•    L-Glutamine 250 mg
•    Glycine 500 mg
•    L- Leucine 400 mg
•    L-Iso-Leucine 400 mg
•    L-Valine 400 mg

The formula is your basic amino acid which the company claims as a proprietary blend. But whether they are proprietary or not, the effect might not be optimal at all.

All you have are stacks of amino acid that could work but would require a lot of efforts in your end.

Remember that it’s just supplements so you can’t just take them and expect great results fast. You still need to have proper diet and a strict exercise regimen to ensure the effects of gHP will be realized.

Even though the variety is only on their cover, the pricing is very different. Apparently, gHP Sport is a little bit more expensive compared to gHP Youth.

They have chosen to describe gHP Sport as a product that does not have any banned substances. That claim is actually true since again, the product is a replica of the gHP Youth.

The formula of gHP Youth and gHP Sport are good in a way that it could help stimulate your pituitary gland. But their claims in difference of performance in gHP Youth and gHP Sport have made this product highly questionable.

The product is also a bit on the expensive side ($74.50 and $84.95 respectively) as there are products in the market that almost have the same formulation but only more affordable.

AgeForce Sequential Complex HGH Nasal Spray Review May 6th, 2009

hgh

nasal_sprayAgeForce Sequential Complex HGH Nasal Spray, as the name suggests, is the nasal spray version of the oral spray version with almost the same name (Ageforce Continuous Sequence HGH Oral Spray).

The ingredients are the same which means it has the same effects to your body.

However, the nasal spray is reputed to have a better effect in your body. When the spray is used through the nose, there is no saliva which could lessen the efficiency of the product.

The mucus membranes that could trigger HGH secretion are located in the nasal area.

You have to give credit to the company’s pursuit on how to improve ingestion of the product. But since the formula is still the same, the effect is still there.

To have a clear idea, here are the ingredients:

•    Somatotrophin (HGH 3C/30C)
•    12 Cell Minerals
•    All Amino Acids 10X/30X
•    GHRH 3C/30C
•    Cervi Cornu (Contains IGF-1) 3C/30C
•    Zinc Met. 3X/6X
•    Albumin 5X
•    ATP 5X
•    Spirulina 3X/6X/12X/30X
•    Chlorella 3X/6X/2X/30x
•    L-Arginine 6X/12X/30X/60X/200x
•    GABA 6X
•    B Vitamins 1X
•    L-Lysine 6X/12X/30X/60X/200X,
•    In a base of: 10% Alcohol (USP)
•    8% Glycerine (USP)
•    QS Purified Water

The main problem of this formulation is based on the fact that too many varieties for concentration.

Everyone have a variety of needs in terms of concentration but that doesn’t mean that every concentration will be added in a single product.

With too much concentration or too little, the product might not have any effect at all or would have dangerous side effects.

There is a particular concern for the nasal version. The product should be used only twice a day for five days for each nostril. On the other hand, the oral version is only used three times a day for five days.

But even though you only use the nasal version for twice a day, you’re applying it in each nostril which means you’re using it one more compared to oral spray.

You’ll be spending a lot more in this product compared to oral spray.
