New York, NY - September 17, 2014 - (iNewswire)
That’s correct, the HGH (human growth hormone) connects the worlds of bodybuilding and anti aging.
In fact, the market is now flooded with HGH supplements that come in form of pills, sprays, capsules and even creams. According to Consumer Research Group, it’s getting increasingly difficult for the average consumer to find a high quality HGH supplement because of the marketing tactics employed by companies, sheer number of products in the market and lack of awareness and understanding of how these products actually work (or do not work!).
This year, the meeting of American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA) was held in Washington, D.C. and it featured SeroVital-hgh (an oral growth hormone booster), now being referred to as the new “Fountain of Youth” pill. This pill is an anti-aging supplement that sold by a company SanMedica. Sierra Research Group is the group responsible for the research done on this supplement and it is aggressively marketed across the board.
Consumer Research Group is a company that goes out of their way to review health products and tells how the same product’s formulation is used by Novex Biotch in Growth Factor-9, a bodybuilding supplement.
Kerry Pack, communication specialist that works with Sierra Research Group has this to explain the connection between these two companies.
“Due to the recent media covers, sales of Serovital have increased, making it hard for our suppliers to keep up with everyone … So, we are happy to announce that we have officially given a license to Novex Biotech. Novex Biotech will be selling Growth Factor-9 exclusively at GNC. This way, consumers will be able to purchase our proprietary formula.”
Amongst many people, bodybuilders and athletes are the main ones who use such supplements in order to boost their growth hormone which then helps in muscle building and performance enhancement.
This may make one wonder why a growth hormone product is so popular at women’s conferences. This is due to the fact that hGH doesn’t just benefit professional athletes.
In fact, everyone from actors/actresses to soccer moms have been going to clinics in order to receive the ever so popular hGH injections due to the fact that this hormone has been proven to help tighten saggy skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, enhance lean muscle mass, decrease body fat, hype up that sex drive, boost energy and make you feel and look decades (yes, DECADES) younger.
Until recently, most people throughout the world felt that they had to go through expensive prescription injections in order to increase their hGH levels. Those expensive injections cost as high as $1500 every month. However, some experts feel that by using synthetic injections, the natural hGH production could be harmed.
This led to increase in the popularity of Oral HGH supplements. Those are said to provide the same form of benefits as the hgh injections, but without any side effects.
Now, you have medical experts, including Dr. OZ that are backing these natural, herbal products and due to this fact, there are dozens of HGH based anti aging products available.
Sadly though, all is not well.
Consumer Research Group has discovered that HGH pill companies are making a killing selling proprietary blends of pretty basic and inexpensive ingredients at over-inflated prices.
In the natural HGH category, most of the products are known as “HGH releasers,” “HGH Secretagogues” and “HGH Precursors.” A large amount of these products on the market are nothing more than amino acid supplements, which have been on the market for years. Now that people are more aware of HGH than ever before, many of these glorified amino acid supplements are selling for more than they did in the past.
Besides, almost all of these products on the market do not contain anything to optimize pituitary and liver function. The author of “Feeling Younger with Homeopathic HGH,” Dr. H.A. Davis states:
“Unfortunately, 30 percent of the patients who are tested have not responded to these GH ‘secretagogues’ or ‘releasers.’ These products have been around for years and in many cases, they have not demonstrated the same consistent results in terms of quality.”
In fact, some natural HGH products have not gone through any form of clinical testing. A large amount of the products that are currently on sale cite doctor testimonials and medical research. Consumers should not be fooled by this, because the cited medical study might not be about the said product.
Next time, take a closer look at the supplement. Are the testimonials and studies really about the product or its individual ingredients? If the studies and testimonials are about the company’s product, you will definitely know this.
Any product company claiming their amino acids blend can enhance HGH is probably gambling on the fact that consumers don't know that such studies have already been done years ago.
According to the Consumer Research Group's Report, there are a few things to consider before buying an oral HGH supplement -
1). Quality and diversity of ingredients: Products that have several ingredients that work in synergy to enhance body's own production of HGH via different mechanisms are consumer's best bets. Few ingredients apart from the usual well-known amino acids stand out in this regard like GABA, Deer Antler Velvet, Phosphatidyl Choline etc.
Even the most famous HGH supplements featured in anti aging conferences might not contain these crucial ingredients because they eat into profit margins of the companies.
2). Alpha GPC is an excellent HGH enhancer which has been proven in clinical trials to increase HGH Release By Up To 4,100% During Workouts! (Compared To A 2.6% Increase *Without* Alpha-GPC).
Another study from "Journal of International Society of Sports Nutrition: 2008, 5 (Suppl 1):P15" states-- Supplementing with Alpha-GPC prior to workouts has been shown to improve overall bench press power while reducing post-workout respiratory rate!
Alpha GPC is an over the counter supplement that has immense anti-aging and cognitive enhancement benefits as well besides being a great supplement for bodybuilding. BUT, a lot of hgh products in the market don't have it as an ingredient despite various medical studies done on it.
3). The product should have undergone a clinical study on its own. Merely flaunting a study on its ingredients referenced in a medical literature is not good enough.
4). For proper absorption of its ingredients, the product must use enteric coating in their pills which is essential for maximum absorption of the ingredients so that they don't get destroyed by stomach acid.
5). There should be something in the product to optimize pituitary and liver function. HGH stimulates IGF-1 release from liver which plays a role in enhancing the anti aging benefits from HGH.
Lastly as with hGH injections, oral hGH supplements whether for anti-aging or bodybuilding are not a "magic bullet" but one part of a healthy lifestyle choice including a sensible diet and exercise regimen.
