HGH Formulations There are a variety of ways to increase your levels of HGH: 1. HGH replacement with injections of the recombinant DNA human growth hormone 2. HGH secretagogues and precursors, substances that stimulate the brain to release more of the hormone, including nutrient supplements and pharmaceutical products specifically designed for this purpose 3. Homeopathic HGH preparations, which contain very small amounts of the actual HGH molecule, reported to act as secretagogue agents 4. Injections of growth hormone

HGH is a FDA Approved Drug

In August 1996, the FDA approved HGH for use in adult patients for the first time. Before this, it was only authorized for use to promote growth in HGH deficient children. The new indication is for "SDS," or somatotropin (growth hormone) deficiency syndrome, as a result of pituitary disease, hypothalamic disease, surgery, radiation therapy or injury. In effect, the FDA approval covers the use of HGH for anti-aging purposes since low levels of HGH or IGF-1 indicate a failure of the pituitary to release adequate amounts of this vital substance. In addition, the signs of SDS, such as decreased physical mobility, lower energy, higher risk of cardiovascular disease, are exactly the same as those seen in aging adults with low HGH levels. The FDA approval for HGH in adults means that any physician may now prescribe it to their HGH deficient aging patients without fear of practicing outside of conventional orthodox mainstream medicine.

Amino Acid Precursors

Many nutrients have been shown to increase HGH in both young and old subjects. Most of these are amino acids, which are building blocks of protein. Their advantages are that they are safe, well-tolerated, cost less than $1 a day, and are available without a prescription from most drugstores and health food stores.

Arginine has been used by millions of athletes over the past 20 years to enhance production of HGH. Arginine works even into old age, with one European study showing that it boosted blood levels of HGH to three times the level seen in their age group. The effects of arginine supplementation include increased fat burning and muscle building, enhanced immunity, and improving erectile function in men. It appears to work by blocking the hormone, somatostatin, which acts as a brake within the pituitary gland lowering the production and release of HGH. The most common dosage is 4 to 10 grams taken on an empty stomach one hour before exercise and before sleeping.

Ornithine is similar in structure to arginine. It is also widely used to boost HGH. According to authors Dirk Pearson and Sandy Shaw, it has double the effectiveness of arginine at the same dosage, or about 2.5 grams. The usual dosage is 2 to 5 grams at bedtime.

Glutamine is the most recent amino acid to generate excitement as a HGH releaser, thanks to a 1995 study by Tomas C. Welbourne of Louisiana State University College of Medicine in Shreveport. Welbourne showed in a study that a surprising small oral dose (about 2 grams of glutamine) raised HGH levels more than four times than when the subjects were given a placebo. Even more exciting, age did not diminish the response, at least in this small study of volunteers, who ranged from 32 to 64 years. The usual dose is 2 grams at bedtime.

Lysine, another amino acid, has a synergistic effect with arginine. According to a 1981 study by Italian researcher A. Isidori, M.D., and his associates at the University of Rome, the combination of 1,200 mg of lysine and 1,200 mg of arginine pyroglutamate in 15 male volunteers between the ages of 15 and 20 was 10 times more effective than taking arginine alone. But another study by the Gerontology Research Center in Baltimore found that lysine/arginine combination, even at twice the dosage, used in the Italian study failed to raise HGH levels in men over 65.

Glycine is another amino acid shown to increase HGH in several studies. One study found that 6.75 grams at bedtime caused a three-fold increase, while a Japanese research team showed that 30 grams raised HGH levels 10 times in patients who had gastric surgery. An oral dose of 250 mg in normal volunteers also showed a significant, but less pronounced rise in HGH. Glycine has also been found useful in increasing output in exercise workouts. The usual dosage range is 250 milligrams to 6.75 grams.

The latest clinical research indicates positive beneficial growth hormone agonist and anabolic activity via a combination of amino acids and high IGF-1 colostrum. The amino acid precursor glutamine peptides, arginine, ornithine, lysine, and glycine with colostrum is presently a strong contender for the top position as the natural HGH stimulant.

Homoeopathic HGH

Homeopathy is a form of medicine that uses small doses of natural substances to stimulate the body's own immune and endocrine systems. In some ways, homeopathy is similar to a vaccine, where microscopically small amounts of a foreign protein are introduced into the body to create an immune response. Homeopathy is considered alternative and lacking in scientific proof by the mainstream medical establishment.

However, a published study sponsored by National Institute of Health (NIH) reported limited success when they used infinitesimal amounts of actual HGH from DNA recombinant technology to make homeopathic HGH. Preliminary studies of people who took one dose three times a day for two to four weeks showed an 8 to 23% increase in IGF-1 levels.

Among the benefits were enhanced functioning of the metabolic, immune, and nervous systems with some of the participants also experiencing elimination of joint pains, reduction of fat and increase in lean body mass. The product has also been tested in HIV-positive patients. The four month study, which was double blind and placebo-controlled, found that the treated groups had decreased viral loads, increased or stabilized T4 cell counts, lowered measures of inflammation throughout the body, improved mineral metabolism, and increased weight gain. During the same period of time, the placebo group had their viral loads go up and the T4 counts go down, along with increased infection and weight loss. There were no adverse side effects reported with this treatment.

It is important to note that homeopathy is a highly controversial practice which would appear to violate commonly held beliefs of pharmacology and physiology. A single study is not adequate evidence, and the scientific community awaits independent confirmation from other objective university-based sources.
