List of some HGH products we reviewed
Pills vs Sprays vs Sublingual liquid drops vs Powders vs Patch/gel
HGH products primarily come in 6 different categories – pills, sprays, sublingual liquid drops, powders, patch & gel. Below chart explains the number of different brands in each category, currently popular in the marketplace.
As the above Bar-graph shows, the greatest market-share and popularity seems to be with HGH pills. And there can be many reasons, because it’s the most popular & hassle-free way of consuming a supplement.
Also, HGH supplements in pills form have got the most press & publicity and most popular among bodybuilders too. (Examples – Olympian Labs Dynamic HGH, HyperGH 14x, Natures Plus Ultra GHT, Purity Select HGH pills )
However, one HGH supplement that doesn’t come in pills form, and which has got Huge press coverage and almost cult like following is Somaderm gel.
After pills, on second position, HGH Sprays seem quite popular. They are especially very appealing to those who believe in Homeopathy. Now, there are many people & medical experts bashing homeopathic medicine & supplements, but truth remains that even if the homeopathic theories fly in the face of science, people have got better with homeopathic treatments in real life, causing many experts to change their stance on homeopathy. Homeopathic HGH may work for some people. Dr. Frank King explains the key to homeopathy’s great success is finding the right HGH formulas for each individual patient. We do have a recommendation though – currently, we recommend HGH.com’s 30000 nano spray as the best homeopathic HGH in the market.
Sublingual drops and Powders seem to be holding 3rd & 4th position, leaving very few HGH supplements that come in the form of patches or gels.
Key Points on HGH releasers & secretagogues
- Finding good HGH products requires knowledge of individual ingredients and secretagogues (hgh releasers) in the product and how they work to enhance HGH production.
- There are 7 ingredients (HGH releasers) that are really good, top of the cream stuff, that have been proven to be most essential in enhancing HGH naturally. However, NOT all products in the market, have these. Besides, those who do have these ingredients might NOT have it in sufficient quantities to trigger a response from the body. Proprietary blends have become a marketing tactic to hide the exact quantities of ingredients used.
- An interesting aspect of HGH supplement industry is the fact that homeopathic HGH is still popular, even though FTC is considering requiring that all homeopathic products sold in the US come with a disclaimer on their packaging that there is NOT enough clinical evidence that they work.
- Low doses of effective ingredients in the product:- When looking for an HGH releaser you’ll find dozens of pills and sprays claiming to contain the ingredients needed to increase your HGH levels and although you’ll find that they may contain some ingredients that have been scientifically proven to stimulate the production of HGH, they are in such a low dosage they do NOT actually work. Unfortunately this is common practice in the anti aging supplement industry since manufacturers want to be able to say their product contains certain ingredients while at the same time keeping their manufacturing costs as low as possible. That is why most HGH products do not work.
- Always check if the product is overhyped:- For example, any hGH product containing amino acids like L-arginine, L-glutamine etc. is definitely good for anti aging and enhancing hGH but it will NEVER have a dramatic effect. Studies done on the usage of amino acids to increase hGH were done on intravenous “injections” that were several times the doses you receive in pills. So, the supplement manufacturers create a HYPE around their hGH supplement that it contains such and such amount of amino acids proven to increase hGH. However, they leave out the fact that amino acids were used via injections to increase hGH and that too in ridiculously huge doses. Such huge doses when taken in oral pill form will produce some nasty side effects like nausea, upset stomach, dizziness etc.(So, these supplement manufacturers hit 2 stones with 1 bird by having lesser doses of amino acids in their product. They make their product safe to consume and also raise their profit margins in the process. It is another story that the product might not be that effective. The consumer does not really feel the HGH effect and if there is any effect, it’s mostly placebo effect.Besides, the homeostasis system of the body ensures that the effect of these amino acids is minimized. After a surge in growth hormone after taking in these amino acids, the human body produces “somatostatin”, a hormone that signals the pituitary gland to stop producing more growth hormone and also instructs the intestines to stop absorption of amino acids.That’s why the most effective product will target the HGH secretion by various mechanisms. Amino acids are just one mechanism.Other ingredients like Phosphatidyl Choline are important too, which blocks the “somatostatin” hormone and helps increase the efficiency of amino acids and also helps in maintaining healthy brain cells. (Growth hormone is made in the brain).
- There is no way to make a spray out of the real pharmaceutical growth hormone. No scientific method or formulation exists by now. Even if they could make it somehow, how can a company legally sell a drug (real hgh) without a prescription. You need a prescription to purchase it. Do we hear of a viagra spray, phentermine spray ? A homeopathic HGH spray that has like 10x or 30x dilution of real HGH, can be sold however, because it’s almost negligible. “Real HGH”, like Viagra, is an FDA approved and monitored drug that requires prescription.
