Natural GH enhancers vs exogenous growth hormone

[darius75]

I have just started my cycle, which is based on growth hormone (Humatrope). Due to frequent travel I was searching for a natural GH enhancer that I could take while I'm away (I wouldn't want to risk taking GH with me on my business trips).

I tested 3 products that are supposed to be among the best on the market. I'm posting the brand names here since these are not UG manufacturers so hopefully they will not be moderated out. I took these products on an empty stomach first thing in the morning -no breakfast- followed by a blood test.

These tests were taken 2 days apart, always in the same time 2-2.5 hours after administration (depending on traffic). GH, IGF-1 and cortisol levels were measured. For comparison I took 3.i.u Humatrope as well after registering my baseline.

The results (I took the tests in this order 2 days apart):
My baseline - GH: 0.4; IGF-1: 169; cortisol: 431
3 i.u. Humatrope - GH: 8.7; IGF-1: 188.2; cortisol: 107
HEMOGEX (VPX) - GH: 0.5; IGF-1: 214.1; cortisol: 322
Secretagogue-One (MHP) - GH: 0.3; IGF-1: 207.8; cortisol: 282
Secretagogue-Gold (MHP) - GH: 0.1; IGF-1: 185.8; cortisol: 324

"Normal" reference values: GH 0.0-6.0 (ng/mL); IGF-1 107.8 - 246.7 (ng/mL); cortisol 60-600 (nmol/L)

I'm pretty sure that the elevated IGF values are the results of the single GH shot. It takes some time for the liver to start producing IGF.

These top products appear to be a complete waste of money. If anything they actually decreased my natural GH levels. They all ended up in the garbage.

Lots of shitty sups out there. Good ones are out there too though. Its good we have a board to talk about them on and compare results.

Good shit bro! Thank you for sharing with us here.

GH elevation is not effected by anything taken orally, eve GH itself.

Squatting and sleeping are the only things that increase it naturally.

the ones that do work are the ones that stick around...
the rest come and go and get new labels with the same crap in them!

Thanks for the comments. I guess good night's sleep remains the best and cheapest option. After the disappointing results I did some search on Arginine ("classic" GH enhancer) and there are several documented lab studies that it increases GH but only if administered intravenously. It would seem that this oral business for GH enhancement is the biggest scam of the supplement industry. What's weird is that even respectable companies come forward with their own products that don't even have the slightest chance to work.

I will be taking Humatrope for 6-8 months. In your oppinion would 2-3 day gaps 2-3 times every month decrease the efficiency of the cycle? Is it worth to invest into something "portable" (i.e. Genotropin Miniquick or similar)?.

Very interesting. On a side, I'm glad Hayez is PLAT again. I got tired of straining to see that avatar LOL...
