Amino
Acids
Studies in young adults show that at least
four amino acids can cause the release of
up to 9 times as much HGH over a short period
of time. Those amino acids are :
- L-glutamine : 9
grams
- L-arginine : 4 grams
- L-ornithine : 4
grams
- L-lysine : 2 grams
There
are two problems with these studies. First,
the amount of increase in growth hormone
is of short duration and no long term increase
in IGF-1 has been reported. And more importantly,
these studies have not been performed in
men and women over 50 years of age. It is
a fact that the best releaser of HGH is
strong exercise, and secondly a good night
sleep - yet, neither cause the additional
release of HGH in men over 60 years of age.
There
are now a number of advertisements for oral
HGH preparations. The problem with these
is that only a rare individual can raise
his or her IGF-1 levels to 350 ug/ml, which
is the target for replacement. Why spend
hundreds of dollars if your IGF-1 level
does not reach adequate levels?
| Remember
that saying :
You
Get What You Pay For! |
Efficacy - No study has
shown any substantial change in IGF-1 from
a homeopathic or low dose oral HGH formulation.
Small changes in IGF-1 exceeding 30% have
been suggested and no study exceeding eight
weeks has shown results. HGH therapy is
a lifelong protocol, not just a few weeks.
