I am 54 now. 3 years ago I stumbled upon Ageless (company) UltraMAX HGH Gold (product) in a one ounce spray. Was paying $60 at a local GNC. Shortly thereafter I was finding it online for about $25-30 a bottle.
Anyway, within a month of using this, initially being told I probably wouldn’t see much results for about 3 months, I lost an inch off my waist (from 35 to 34 inch). I was pretty excited about that. Within 6 months, my body was changing into its ole “athletic self” of decades before. All I was doing was spraying and jogging about 2 miles, 3-5 times a week. No weightlifting. Yet, all the while I am getting muscularly defined everywhere.I continued using it regularly for 2 years. Then, the last year, I started fading from using it. My OLD body shape started coming back. I had ordered it 3 times over the last 4 months, but all orders were back-ordered and undeliverable. Now I find that Ageless has been bought out, but the new company still has NO PRODUCT. So I bought Sytropin, which I just read how you panned it. I found no review of Ageless UltraMAX HGH Gold spray to compare with, so I am just curious….
What DO you recommend? What do you rate as a B+ or an A? Is there any sub-lingual sprays that you believe DO WORK? What about any of the IGF-1 sprays? Any that you would recommend?
The Patriot Missile worked OK at shooting down SCUDs so I appreciate negative feedback too, but what do you SUGGEST? Where are your recommendations found on your website? All I found was what NOT to buy! I know that Ageless WORKED for me, but I can’t get it…
Please Help!
I like looking 35 and feeling like 25 again.

Ageless was bought out by Naturade which is a large and legitamate vitamin manufacturer. I would be surprised if they ever make the spray product again.
There is not a single sublingual spray on the market that we would give a positive rating to.
I have a definite opinion of why some sprays have seemed to work for people. It is not because of what they say on the label. I don’t have physical evidence so I am not going to state this opinion without consent of a lawyer.
The best product we have rated is Secretagogue One.
3 hgh truths // Feb 12, 2008 at 9:30 pm
I should state that we will have some other recommended products. it just will take a little time to get the reviews up.

Hi,
I was wondering if you had tried and reviewd a product called MF III yet. I was really thinking of trying it and was wondering what you thought of it.
5 admin // May 12, 2008 at 2:48 pm
John,
I am assuming you are talking about the MF III that is made from Swiss placenta extracts with live cell technology.
No we have not reviewed it yet. Not an area that we are familar with and have contacted a european doctor friend to find out more.
If you are looking at this because of a site that makes claims that it will help you grow taller. Save your money. That is one claim that I know is false.
6 J Abraham // May 15, 2008 at 5:09 am
Hi
Would you be able to offer an opinion on the following products, please?
Beverly International GH factor (180 caps)
Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Somatophen (60 tabs)
Nutrabolics Primo Gh Stak (100 caps)
J.S Nitro Nitro GH (84 caps)
Thanks
Joe
7 admin // May 15, 2008 at 3:54 pm
We have drafts for reviews of all four gh products and will move them up to the front of the line.
The short review is that there is nothing special about any of four.
8 John // May 19, 2008 at 11:47 am
Hi,
Thanks for your response. Hopefully you’ll hear something good from the European doctor you ordered.
I’m not looking to grow taller with it. I was interested in seeing if it was as good of an anti-aging forumla as they proclaim or if I should just get an HGH supplement. I was looking around the internet so I wanted to find out if it worked since its pricey.
9 Ken // Jun 10, 2008 at 3:56 pm
First and foremost thank you guys for what you do. If it is not too rude I’d like to ask I assume you guys are not affiliated with any of these companies you review? Is it possible if you could recommend a product which you believe works best to solely increase height.
Thank you very much.
10 will // Jun 11, 2008 at 6:58 am
hello, thx for your very informative site.
right now, i am 18 and all i want to do is grow taller. one of the biggest reasons, is i am a college swimmer and my height is really one of the biggest factors affecting my performance.
i’ve been reading online that the only real way is through hgh stimulator. also is growth affected by muscle flexibility, because as a swimmer i’ve always had tight muscle, and never stretched it much.
so after reading your reviews, which hgh stimulator is the best in ur opinion on the market right now? and do you know of any other ways i can grow taller? i am willing to try anything and do anything.
thx for your site. thankyou
11 admin // Jun 11, 2008 at 8:28 am
Ken,
We have no current affiliation with any companies that make hgh products or market single brands.
Hgh supplements don’t do anything to increase a persons height.
Will,
Try Yoga and/or Pilates. The stretching will make you a better swimmer.
None of these products are going to help you grow taller. At age 18, your height is alreadygenetically programed.
If and only if you are severely growth hormone deficent, injectable hgh might add an inch or two. Please note that is only if you are deficent. If your hormone levels are in the normal range, it would be a total waste of money.

HI there–Like many who have written, I want to thank you very much for your website.
I’m a 47 year old female and have been looking to use an HGH type product for anti-aging capabilities (skin tightening, lessening of wrinkles, assist in building lean muscle, etc.).
I’m fit and in good shape.
Can you recommend which product would be best for me?
Many thanks.
13 admin // Jun 16, 2008 at 8:13 pm
We are glad that we can help people.
The best product we have reviewed to date is Secretagogue Gold. That would be a good place to start.
14 Barry // Jul 8, 2008 at 8:07 am
I found your HGH reviews informative and funny. I was looking for a product I had been using called GHR 15 in the powder formula. I really couldn’t tell you if it releases HGH into my bloodstream, but I would give it an A+ for increasing my testosterone level (if you know what I mean). Any input on that product? Did any products on your review list score an A?
Barry
15 hgh truths // Jul 8, 2008 at 8:33 pm
GHR 15 is one of the crappier products on the market. Imaging how good you would feel if you bought a good product.
Guess we will have to breakdown and do a review. We have been avoiding it because they have so many different versions. Maybe we will do a GHR week.
16 hgh truths // Jul 8, 2008 at 8:38 pm
We have not given out an ‘A’ range grade yet. We are really picky and tough graders.
17 Jerry // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:19 pm
I would be interested in finding out your results of the following HGH products:
Beyond HGH and Nova.
Thank you,
Jerry
18 hgh truths // Jul 18, 2008 at 9:01 pm
It is very hard to review products that do not provide any information about the ingredients.
They come in spray bottles so they must be garbage.
19 Colin // Jul 20, 2008 at 12:46 pm
This is not a HGH supplement per se, but have you ever come across former Mr Olympia Larry Scott’s Bi0-Phase supplement line? He has been selling the “Hypergrowth” protein formula for years, reporting that it actually contains IGF-1 and IGF-2.
Since HGH is converted to IGF-1 I thought maybe there might be some overlap and you could get around to reviewing it.
The ad on Larry’s site has amused me for years..
20 hgh truths // Jul 20, 2008 at 2:52 pm
He does not like to disclose the actual ingredients. Best I could come up with is that it is basically just whey protein. Not going to be any useful amount of IGF-1 or IGF-2 in whey protein.
If we could find a real ingredients list we might be able to say more. For now we will just write it off as amusing marketing BS.
21 Ben // Jul 22, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I am using ISOTROPIN HGH PRO 6X 1OZ ORAL SPRAY (30ML) from Newton Everett. I am in to my second bottle. Can you tell me if this product is worthwhile and if not, can you recommend a good HGH product please.
Thanks
Ben
22 Ben // Jul 22, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Do you have any infor regarding HGH from Cocoon Nutrition or Chrysalis please. Heard an interview by the owner of the company.
Ben
23 hgh truths // Jul 23, 2008 at 7:47 pm
Ben,
Hopefully after you wrote these comments you clicked on the homeopathic and oral sprays category and read the posts.
Isotropin HGh Pro 6X, Cocoon HGH, and Chrysalis XS spray all come in spray bottles. You have a 99.9 % chance that they are rip-off products. Isotropin claims to be homeopathic gh so it is a fraud. Chrysalis claims to contain nanograms so it is a scam.
We might do longer reviews but it would just waste more words to say that they are a waste of money.
24 confused // Aug 11, 2008 at 8:09 pm
i am confused, do you only actually give one hgh product a B? i thought i read all reviews and only found one B.
25 hgh truths // Aug 11, 2008 at 9:57 pm
confused,
You are off on your count. I haven’t kept any kind of count but I think there are at least a half dozen with grades in the “B” range.
The problem is there are so many bad products on the market and so few good ones.
26 Shane // Aug 23, 2008 at 6:17 pm
First off i would like to thank you for saving people time and money… its really honorable….what would be your top pick for muscle building as i am in my early 30’s and my main goals are to build muscle and lose bodyfat
27 hgh truths // Aug 25, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Shane,
Anything that rates in the ‘B’ range would be an OK product to take.
We have avoided rating some of the heavily promoted bodybuilding products simply because they have some of the worst and most deceptive labeling. Guess we are going to have to give in.
28 Jeff // Oct 16, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Would you be kind enough to provide some insight into the ageless products ‘Juvenon’ is marketing? While they don’t claim to have an HGH formula, they do suggest there product (s) can slow down cellular aging. Results: better memory, better sleep, overall well-being improves etc.
I really appreciate the help you provide to those of us, trying to feel a little younger!
29 Bill St.Cyr // Oct 17, 2008 at 6:26 am
Hi,
Thanks for this site. I have decided to try to up my bodies production of hgh and testosterone and after a lot of looking around the net, this is the first time I have any confidence at all of what to try.
Do you have a recommended link for any sites that would be comparable for helping up testosterone levels?

Could you tell me what product I could buy that contains real HGH?
33 hgh truths // Oct 23, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Jeff,
The ingredients in Juvenon are good but the product is nothing special. As a general rule , i avoid products that don’t display the supplement facts from the bottle on their website. This is usually a sign of hype over substance.
34 hgh truths // Oct 23, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Waso,
Fake grape. Yuck…
I think I have looked at all three products and have drafts of reviews that just haven’t been finished. I remember the de;ay had something to do with trying to find good products instead of over hyped sports supplements.
35 hgh truths // Oct 23, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Rick,
The only product that contains real hgh is the prescription pharmaceutical injections.
There is no such thing as “real” hgh in a dietary supplement.
36 Troy // Oct 23, 2008 at 6:58 pm
Hi Team,
Thanks for providing this site and the info contained therein….very awesome of you! There is obviously a lot to read through here so this will keep me occupied for a while. I have already searched through for a product I was considering and cannot see it here. I imagine you get heaps of requests for this but……when you get a chance, would you be able to do a review of “HGH Plus”.
Cheers,
Troy
37 kristin walter // Oct 26, 2008 at 4:50 pm
i was wondering if you knew anything about cloud nine hgh? heard it was better than mostbrands of hgh releasers.
38 hgh truths // Oct 27, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Troy,
We are not going to be reviewing that hgh plus product. Basicallly because it was not a good product 10 years ago and not worth the bother today.
39 hgh truths // Oct 27, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Kristin,
I can just look at their website and know that this is a baseless product that is pure marketing hype. Lots of wording but no publishing of the supplemental facts. No ingredient listed that you can get enough of in 4 capsules per day to actually get a good hgh release.
40 waso // Nov 1, 2008 at 8:24 pm
whats up?? so , soon youre going to review somatomax ,somatophen and hemogex???
41 anita // Nov 5, 2008 at 8:59 pm
I just bought sytopine and then I stumbled across your web site. I just am so confused.
Who are you guys and what makes you qualified to rank this stuff??
There is so much crap info out there I’m just trying to figure out what is real. HELP
42 Nadine T. // Nov 11, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Hi there,
I am very interested in buying an HGH product,
before I saw your website I was interested to buy GenF20 due to the high good reviews I read about these products, but after I was reading all your HGH product reviews and saw that you mostly recommend Secretagogue One or Secretagogue Gold.
I am a healthy 31 year old female interested in starting the HGH intake but I do have arthritis now after living in the cold Canada for two years now. I have researched more about buying Secretagogue-One and Gold from MHP, but as I was reading about the two products info on one of the sellers website, I noticed that it is recommended to take Secretagogue Gold when we are 35 years and older? Does that mean it is best recommended that I shouldn’t start with it now? Does that apply to Secretagogue-One too, as I didn’t see any age suggestions for it on the product info.
I also wanted to know if it really does increase muscles too, as I was an athlete since childhood and I am not interested to take HGH for more enhancements in muscles to show. I am only interested in HGH only to feel healthier, more energetic and staying young.
I am looking forward for an honest answer from you.
I am also interested in purchasing one of the two products for my husband who’s 39 years old, which one of the two would you recommend him?
Thank you for your concern
Nadine T.
43 JJ // Nov 15, 2008 at 7:47 pm
I’m 6′ 290 lbs. and I’m looking to start working out and use HGH to help with my results since I’ve been diagnosed with low levels. I’m just not sure which product will be best suited for me Humatrope, Jintropin, Serostim, or Saizen? I can buy them anywhere on the web but I can’t find any reviews on which product would be the most beneficial for me.
44 hgh truths // Nov 20, 2008 at 6:54 pm
JJ,
There really is not much of a significant difference between the different pharmaceutical hgh choices.
45 hgh truths // Nov 20, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Nadine,
I think we answered this same question on another post.
Anita,
I have no idea what sytopine is. Never heard of it nor has Google.
Waso,
Just hard to get excited about reviewing any of those products because they all look to be the subject of yet more negaative reviews.
46 Laurent // Nov 26, 2008 at 5:15 pm
Hi,
Thanks for this great site!
What’s your opinion about the nes Newton-everet Isotropin HGH rejuvenation effervescent powder?
They are claiming to have the best fomula in the market.
It would be pretty cool to get your opinion.
Thanks in advance.
Laurent
47 debra // Dec 17, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Great site! I have been taking Secretagogue Gold for 16 weeks and will be cycling off in 2 days for a month. I haven’t noticed any change in how I feel or look other than sleeping more soundly. Is there some way of measuring whether my HGH levels have increased? Or perhaps, I need to wait longer? Maybe this isn’t the right stack for me? Love to know your thoughts on this.
Debra
48 hgh truths // Dec 21, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Laurent,
You think they would claim anything different?
They don’t provide very good information on the company site. It looks to be a Secretagogue One like formula for twice as much money. So it might be an OK product but at a ridiculous price.
49 hgh truths // Dec 21, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Debra,
The best advice is to see what you notice while your a cycled off the product and how you feel when you cycle back on.

I am 29 and am looking at taking some HGH product. I have rhumatoid arthitis and am on 200 miligrams of celebrex twice a day, do you think the hgh would be a bad combo with this. I have kinda run my body into the ground with dirt bike and various other stupid stunts and now make poping noises when i cross the room in the morning and just dont fell as good as a used to. Any help would be great.
56 hgh truths // Feb 2, 2009 at 2:57 pm

Both Gentropin and Saizen are excellent products. Of course they are the real injectable hgh hormone and not dietary supplements.
We will be writing about them soon.

61 Sean // Feb 9, 2009 at 6:50 pm
So, since no product has received an “A” (though I have used HGH Surge, Secretagogue One and Secretagogue Gold and like them all) it’s safe to assume you believe every product could be tweaked/improved. However, I am no expert on this stuff so could you make some suggestions on how to “improve” a couple of your top recommendations.
Thanks so much! Love your website.
62 hgh truths // Feb 9, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Dale,
I know Canada used to have a problem with amino acid and herb combinations but I don’t know if that is still true. I know any product claiming to contain hgh is illegal to import.
63 hgh truths // Feb 9, 2009 at 10:12 pm

65 Colby // Feb 13, 2009 at 11:18 am
Hey guys, luv all the input and hard work. I have been researching all this crap for roughly a month and obvi like everybody else don’t want to get scammed. Just finished a 3 month span of taking GNC’s Amplified Creatine. Def luved the results and would reccomend it 2 anybody looking for a solid creatine. Now 2 get back on subject, I know that u guys have given secretagogues good ratings over everything u have researched. Was just wondering if it will get me over the hump where the creatine lacked a little? I am in the gym 4-5 days a week working my ass off and am eating healthy with lots of protein. Any help would b great. Thanks, Colby
66 hgh truths // Feb 13, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Mark,
I guessed she meant sytropin but there are so many products with similar names that I was giving her a chance to clarify.
I know that I have talked some about this elsewhere, I am getting close to 30 years of experience around the supplement industry and over two decades with gh releasers.
The “WE” group gets into the hundreds of combined years in all facets of this subject and that is without hitting the Rolodex and networking with acquaintances.
67 hgh truths // Feb 13, 2009 at 9:50 pm
Colby,
That is a very age dependent question.
If you are in your 20’s try either 5 grams of arginine with 100mg of regular niacin before a workout or one of the NO products.
40 or older the Secretagogues should do the trick.
68 mickey // Feb 15, 2009 at 11:44 am
Hello,
I wasn’t sure where to post, but I ran a search for NovaRX and Beyond HGH sprays and didn’t see a review. Supposedly There was a DR who uses it and this was the only product he uses/ recommends. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I have Chrohn’s disease and have blown through most expensive meds out there. Still not in remission and still dead tired ALL the time, and still need to gain the 40 lbs I lost. I’m only 25 but, I’ve been told my situation is pretty unique by most doctors. I’ll probably try the supplements first, but I am considering seeking a prescription for injectibles. Thanks!
69 hgh truths // Feb 15, 2009 at 5:30 pm

We have never reviewed Beyond Hgh Or NovaRX because there is no real information available about them other than they come in a spray bottle. Oral spray hgh immediately tells us that the product is garbage. Read our Oral Spray Category for more information.

Thanks for the offer but we do not except free product for reviews. If we are actually going to put the product in our own bodies, we buy it.
Your product looks worth considering but the website did not clearly state the supplemental facts. There was just the names of the different ingredients.

We have never reviewed it because the only information available about it is that it come in a spray bottle and costs $100. Right there I can tell you that it is a scam. Plus the website selling it was last updated in 2002. That should tell you something.
76 Sharon // Apr 8, 2009 at 9:50 am
First, I’d like to thank you for your website
After reading the review you gave to secretagogue gold, I ordered a box. I took several packs and developed sores in my mouth. Wanting to be sure it was the product, I allowed everything to heal, the started on it again. It happened a second time, as well. Just wondered if anyone else had a similar experience, and if you had any reccomendation? Also, should mention that I’ve taken other products over the years, ghr15, ghr renew-u to name a couple. Never any issues with any others????
Thanks so much!!
77 James // Apr 9, 2009 at 11:25 am
The topic is quite trendy in the net at the moment. What do you pay attention to while choosing what to write about?
78 hgh truths // Apr 9, 2009 at 12:18 pm
Sharon,
The other hgh products you are talking about come in capsules so I am doubting if the problem is with the hgh releasing components.
Secretagogue Gold is orange flavored so I am guessing there is some citric acid in it.
Remebered I still had a box in the pantry and yes there is citric acid. Some people can get the same kind of sores from citrus products.
Talk to your dentist about it. There is some kind of virus or bacteria that some people can have that is the root cause. I seem to remember that tea tree oil and neem oil products are naturals cures. Sometimes it is just a straight sensitivity to acidity.

Great job!! Enjoy the reviews/comments (& responses). I am 82..active all my life..worked in masonry, was a piano mover, drove truck..hauling heavy machinery in the 48, and spent 40 yrs in trucking management, before retiring at 72! Still active..hit the gym 4-5 days/wk. Spend most of the time in the free-weight room, little lax on cardio (bad), and luv to “play in the dirt” (landscaping). QUESTION? With the above in mind, what benefit(s) would I obtain by taking a HGH, like Secretagogue?? I take other nutrional supplements..have been diagnosed with benign high BP, and take BP medication. The BP is under control! Eating well, and sleep is normal. Would apprec and respect your response/comments. Thank you.

On one hand there is the “don’t fix it if it isn’t broken” arguement. On the other hand there is the “things could be even better arguement”. At 82 you could be surprised at what a 10% steady bump in hormone levels could do for you. The decrease is a steady progression that we just get used to and don’t realize anything is missing until it comes back.
82 Gino Meenan // Apr 28, 2009 at 7:58 am
Tks so much for ur response. Have always been a believer in the “don’t fix it” philosophy, but, the other option, “things cud be even better”, has aroused my curiosity!! Read ur review on Secretagogue Gold….will give it a shot, and see where we go. Will give u an update later.
Again, tks for the help…keep up the great work. Gino

Glad we could be of assistance. Let us know how it works for you.

Would you let me knowwhich hgh product is effective and safe for a 14 years old boy to increase the height? Thanks.
85 hgh truths // May 3, 2009 at 1:55 pm
Lily,
There is no hgh product designed for 14 year old boys. The just are not effective. If your child is truly deficient in growth hormone, talk to an endocrinologist. A 14 year old might still be able to get some benefit from hgh shots.
86 Lily // May 3, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Thanks for the reply. My boy is not short at this moment, but would be short if continue to be this height when adult. He hasn’t grow a bit in the past two months.. so I begin to suspect if his growth plate starts to fuse.
I thought the HGH stimulator will help his growth hormone secretion and in turns grow tall. Is it not? I am not sure if using anti-aromatase agents
is okay. He exercises ok amount, excellent diet, but not enough of sleep( this is not something we can change as the school homework load is very high).
Any suggestion as to how to make sure he can still grow taller? Thanks a lot.
Lily
87 hgh truths // May 4, 2009 at 6:37 am
Lily,
Supplements are not going to do anything to change his growth rate. Nothing. The supplements just are not strong enough to do anything for children. Even at 10 times the recommended dosage it is doubtful that supplements will do anything.

Hi,
I was wondering if you had every reviewed DopaTech-HGH made by Prosource.
They claim it to be a good product. I thought maybe you good look at it and possible review it.
I happen to get their catalog and they rate it “Best in Class”.
Thanks,
Randy
90 hgh truths // May 15, 2009 at 11:07 am
Randy,
We haven’t reviewed it because it wasn’t anything special. Just an over sized dosage of macuna. Not a “Best in Class” product.
91 Randy // May 16, 2009 at 4:28 am
Thanks for your reply. It really helps becauses it shows me the type of company Prosource is.
For the money is Secretagogue Gold the best HGH product available?
92 hgh truths // May 17, 2009 at 10:12 am
Randy,
Secretagogue Gold has gotten the best bgrade so far. Check all the top rated products and take the one that makes the most sense to you.
93 chris // May 20, 2009 at 7:11 am
Hi loved the informative website good to find a website that tries to help people and is neutral to all companies trying to sell hgh products. Better than some doctors telling you they have reviewed certain ” so called products” and these are the best ones because of their great benefits, when all they’re trying to do is sell their own sham products. I have just started taking universal hgh max as recommended in your review. what did you mean about whey protein interfering with the amino acids and what effect does this have, does it still make it a good hgh stack to use for the muscle builders and athletes. what if I was to have whey protein a few hours after taking hgh would it affect it or what about soya protein mix. also if I used a quarter supplement of life renewal aswell would that make universal hgh max an a grade. One last thing I am currently on seroxat is it not agood idea to use maxi hgh . Sorry just one more thing . I might have to take prednisolone (cortisosteroids) for colitis could you tell me if this would affect me in anyway thanks for your help.
94 chris // May 20, 2009 at 8:01 am
HI chris again if i used hgh max or maxi hgh and used it with universal gh max do I use a whole dose or half or what, same goes for life renewal or basically any others I could use with gh max . Also would you recommend gh max long term or should I swap after a cycle of three months thanks.
95 hgh truths // May 21, 2009 at 7:33 am
Chris,
The ingredients that GH Max is missing are ingredient that you shouldn’t take when on seroxat. No need to take more Renewal but you might want to cycle between the two products.
Protein rules are the same as food. None two hours before or half hour after taking hgh supplements. Any other time on the same day… not a problem.
96 hgh truths // May 21, 2009 at 7:42 am
Chris,
If you are taking maxi hgh, life renewal or gh max, you would want to add in say 3 to 6 capsules of GHR Essentials. Mixing any of the first three really isn’t such a big deal. Cycling between maxi hgh and gh max every three months is not a bad idea as they use different amino acids.
PS. Forgot about the Seroxat…. Ghr Essentials might not mix for you. If you are going to give it a try start with ONE capsule and build slowly. My advice would be to just start with a regular dose of the product of your choice and see how that goes before worrying about combining.
97 chris // May 21, 2009 at 8:13 am
Hi thanks for your help so just to clarify it is ok to take universal gh max is there any hgh supplements you have reviewed that I shouldn’t take if on seroxat and what about the prednisolone steroids just dont want to make myself ill and what would you class as good hgh essentials to mix in with universal gh if i wanted to make it a better hgh intake. for example i could take my 6 capsules of universal gh max and say add quarter life renewal or i could take the recommended amount of life renewal and add say three to six capsules of universal ghmax. So if i stick to my universal gh max would you recommend adding a full amount of another hgh product in pill form or a quarter dose of say life renewal. Sorry to be such a pain inthe you know what just need to know i amnot doing myself any harm what with the medicines i am taking and that i am not taking toomuch hgh product just need to know it is okay too mix and take a full amount of 2 products. hope this sounds clear ha ha would appreciate your help thanks very much all the best chrisp.s what is the ingredients i should avoid when on seroxat
98 hgh truths // May 21, 2009 at 11:18 am
Chris,
i thought I made it pretty clear. Pick one product and take the recommended amount. GH max, life renewal. or Maxi-hgh would be OK. No reason to combine two of those products. Cycling between them every three months would be OK. There are too many ingredients that might not mix with seroxat. Basically only take things that are made with ammino acids or main line vitamins. The amino acids should not be a problem with the steroids but…. check with your doctor.
99 chris // May 21, 2009 at 12:12 pm
ok mate thanks very much for that just needed to be sure thats all can rest easy now keep up the good work in digging all those con artists and keep reviewing the best products and keep us informed cheers
100 chris // May 23, 2009 at 7:19 am
hello again tell me please wat you think of l- dopa supplements meant to be good for calmness and nervousness is this true? is it found in universal gh max as i know it is an amino acid is it a bad thing to take cos i know it is meant to enhance mood and would love to try some again not sure cos the medication i take but surely if it is an amino acid it should be ok to take plus any thoughts on the apparent steroid free russian anabol supplements thanks once again
101 Bob W // May 23, 2009 at 9:01 am
Was wondering how important you think “liposomal delivery” is? The Secretagogue Gold site mentions a “effervescent polymer transport system” which sounds like they are playing off the liposomal delivery term. The other brand I’ve seen mentioning liposomal delivery is the GenF20 HGH (which has a D+ rating on your site). Also, the book by Dr. Weatherby talks about liposomal delivery. Thanks.
102 hgh truths // May 23, 2009 at 10:47 am
chris,
l-dopa products are one of the things that you want to be careful about taking when you are on prescription anti-depressants. Universal Gh Max does not contain l-dopa but it does contain a few herbal exracts that could add to nervousness.
103 hgh truths // May 23, 2009 at 11:00 am
Bob W,
Liposomals delivery systems are great in cosmetics and some liquid vitamins but their use in hgh products is restricted to sprays and all the spray hgh products are scams. I didn’t take Weatherby’s book seriously after I got to the chapter where he pushes liposomes. I just figured he really didn’t know what he was talking about even though there is some other decent basic info in parts of the book.
I have never noticed anything about liposomes on the GENf20 site. They are selling powder in capsules which means they can’t be using liposomes.
I have always just written off the “effervescent” delivery system statement used by Secretagogue Gold and a number of other companies. Just like the product as do most other people who take it.
104 chris // May 23, 2009 at 12:50 pm
sorry me again i have been described seroxat for mild anxiety not nervousness so if some ingredients in gh max do react to nervousness in a negative way dont is it same for the anxiety ? cheers
105 hgh truths // May 23, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Chris,
Let go of the whole Universal GH thing and try a straight amino acid product like Maxi-HGH.
106 chris // May 23, 2009 at 1:53 pm
wil try maxi hgh next time but ihave already bought 3 bottles of gh max
107 Bob W // May 26, 2009 at 6:06 am
Thanks for the liposome and other info. FYI, this is where I found the liposome stuff ( I’m not planning on using GenF20. )
Also, there is this guy “Greg” whose site says the GenF20 did not work for him, but he is all for the GHR1000 (seems a little hard to believe he is so zero’d in on the GHR1000).
108 hgh truths // May 26, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Bob W,
“Greg” is a fraud. The site zeros in on GHR1000 for the affiliate commisions. just an internet illusion.
The liposome article was just filler material for the search engines on an affiliate site that wants to sell genf20.
109 Steve // Sep 3, 2009 at 2:05 am
Hey just wanted to know if you guys have any info on Powerzones HGH formula? The ingredients only list 2 amino acids: L-Arginine Pyroglutamate and L-Lysine. The bottle states that it has 60000mg of each amino in the bottle and the bottle contains 30 servings. If my maths is correct that works out to be 4000mg of amino acids per serve. Do you have any idea if this stuff is worth a try?
Thanks
Steve
110 hgh truths // Sep 3, 2009 at 7:10 am
Steve,
L-Arginine Pyroglutamte and l-Lysine is a proven combination. The Powerzones HGH seems to be a bit expensive. Search around for other products. You should be able to find the same dosage for half the price or less.
111 Brian Wolfe // Sep 3, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Hey, I’ve tried a couple different products and just wanted to offer some feedback (and maybe get a little advice).
I work at a supplement place, and we had three different products on hand – Symbiotropin, G-Trope, and Somatophen. Symbiotropin I first had about 10 years ago – paid $200 for it, and it worked pretty damn good. Of course, I was also doing landscaping for 12 hours a day, 5 days a week. That *may* have had something to do with the results I got then (pretty impressive).
These days, I’m a tech worker, meaning I live mainly on pizza and energy drinks. I found myself gaining too much weight (about 30 pounds over where I wanted to be, and visible from the middle).
First month I tried the Symbiotropin – tasted just like I remembered, like drinking chewable vitamin C. I didn’t see the results I had last time, but I did notice a little more tone and definition. Lost about 15 pounds over the month. Not too shabby, but kinda pricey compared to other things on the market.
Second month I tried G-Trope. It was about half the price, and IMO it’s complete crap. It tastes like crap, doesn’t fully dissolve no matter how much you stir it, and really I didn’t notice any major physical results. I lost about 5 pounds, but didn’t see any new tone or definition.
Right now I’m on the Somatophen – about a week into it. It tastes like drinking a gym sock if you mix it in water, so I’ve been dissolving it in juice instead. It was even cheaper than the G-Trope, I think because we are trying to get rid of our stock of it at work. Anyways, I’ve noticed with this one that about 10 minutes after drinking I get a bit of a ‘rush’ feeling. It just feels like I’ve got a bit more muscle energy or something.
I really don’t know much about hgh. I’ve read a few of the reviews on here, but I don’t see you rating anything an A at all, and we don’t carry most of the products on your list.
After this cycle of Somatophen, I’m taking a month off (12 weeks on, 4 weeks off, right?) and when I pick back up, I want to have a little more knowledge about what I’m doing.
I don’t really exercise with the exception of 30-45 minutes of sex every night or two, and carrying a 20 pound baby around sometimes.
What are your thoughts on those 3? If you could recommend one product for me to take next cycle, what would it be? I’ll order it online if I need to, I just want to make sure it’s worth the cash I’m dropping for it! I’m not trying to bulk up at all, I’m just wanting to stay toned down so that my lifestyle takes a little longer to catch up to me.
Thanks!
112 hgh truths // Sep 3, 2009 at 8:37 pm
Brian,
Symbiotropin is a basically good product but could benefit from a major price reduction.
Sterling Grant Laboratories, the company that makes G-trope, is really big on the deceptive advertising.
Somatophen comes from Hi-Tek Pharmaceuticals which is one of the sleazier companies out there. The CEO and a few of employees recently got sent to jail for making bootleg prescription drugs and selling them over the internet. More than once the FDA has been on there case for having prescription drugs or unapproved substances in their dietary supplements.
There is a whole pile of reviews to read. Just pick one of the better ranked products and give it a try.
113 Nick // Sep 14, 2009 at 10:18 am
Hi, companies selling products such as Symbiotropin claim that secretagogues are destroyed by stomach acid and lose their potency once they reach the stomach unless they are in effervescent form, allowing them to be absorbed more readily. Is this true? You don’t mention it in any of your review criteria. Thanks
114 hgh truths // Sep 14, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Nick,
Somewhere in the thousands of comments, we say that we do not buy into the whole fizzy liquid thing being that important. I have taken the exact same mix that is in the effervescent products in a capsule form and noticed no difference.
When I eat a good steak dinner it gets destroyed by the stomach. Wait a minute, scientists often refer to that process as digestion.
115 Kyle // Sep 22, 2009 at 8:39 am
Hello,
Lets cut straight to the point, I am a competive athlete (endurance running/powerlifting and everything in betweeen), whats going to be the best GH supplement for me. Also, i am twenty one years old and every male in my family is well over six foot tall and i have seemed to have petered out at around 5′7 everyone says my chances of growing are slim to none. So in conclusion what supplement has the greatest potential to allow me to grow and give me the competive edge.
thanks
116 hgh truths // Sep 23, 2009 at 6:16 pm
Kyle,
Waste of money for a 21 year old. No supplement is going to malke you grow taller.
117 Jack // Sep 24, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Great site, such a load of powerful information.
I have a question about what products you would recommend for a 27 year old who is a an endurance athlete. I am not concerned with aging looks or growing taller even though HGH products target that as well. I am looking for muscle strength, recovery all that, but am not looking to bulk up or anything of that nature.
Thank you very much.
118 hgh truths // Sep 29, 2009 at 11:19 am
Jack,
No hgh product is going to help anybody grow taller.
Your age is below the line for these products to have any meaningful effect. Stick to protein powder and a good exercise program.
119 Kyle // Oct 7, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Hello,
Have you ever done any research on a product from ISS research called,”Promino Plus”. If not can you please check it out and tell me what you think!!
Thanks for your work, Kyle
120 John // Oct 13, 2009 at 11:15 am
Hi,
I’m sorry to bother you again with the same question but I was wondering if you heard anything back yet on the MFIII product.
121 hgh truths // Oct 17, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Kyle,
Promino Plus has a totally BS label and would be given an “F” just for failing to provide consumers with a reasonable level of disclosure.
122 hgh truths // Oct 22, 2009 at 7:06 am
John,
I know a good number of people into cutting edge therapies and nobody has ever mentioned it. Even the ones from Switzerland.
Anything pushed by grow taller sites is suspicious.
The sales page reads like total BS. Plus any injectable would be a drug and require full FDA approval and a prescription from a doctor.
123 John // Oct 23, 2009 at 5:09 am
Thanks again. I was not expecting to grow taller with it. The whole Cellular Regeneration bit interested me.
I guess I’ll have to bite the bullet and order a 30 supply of the capsule version and see how I get on. I’ll stick to the secretagogue for the time being until I order a package of MF III capsules.
124 Whit // Nov 15, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Hey there,
I didn’t know how to request a review or input on a supplement so I thought I would just post here. I have a friend who gave me some capsules of a supplement called Power FULL and he absolutely swears that it is the best stuff on the market. The supplement is made by USP Labs and contains something they are calling PureSap (Engineered Extract Sapogenin/Alkaloids From Chlorophytum Borivilianum), as well as a proprietary blend and it boasts a 221% increase in hgh production. I would be curious on your thoughts on the product. Thanks.
125 hgh truths // Nov 29, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Whit,
The flash review is that you would have to be a “Pure Sap” to buy this product.
126 Mojo // Jan 19, 2010 at 1:49 pm
It is amazingly comical how many people just blindly post stupid questions without reading through the reviews and other great info on this site. If you could only get a dime for every “does it make me taller” or “does this spray work” you could be a rich man. Any way… Keep up the good work!!
127 hgh truths // Jan 25, 2010 at 4:39 pm
Mojo,
128 Mike // Feb 2, 2010 at 1:20 pm
I have read most of the posts on stimulating growth to get taller with HGH. Seems it does not work but what I haven’t see is a case where through X-Rays, (a broken arm) this 16 year has been told his growth plates are wide open. I believe you are saying that a 16 year would produce enough HGH to grow while the growth plates are open, but in this case would a little more stimulation help since we know he is open to growth?
129 hgh truths // Feb 2, 2010 at 10:04 pm
Mike,
These hgh supplements just don’t work on young people because they are already in a peak hormone production period.
130 Cat // Feb 5, 2010 at 7:21 am
I am so very glad I found your site and I appreciate your info. I am 52 female about 127 # and I have been taking Youngevity HGH for about a month 6 capsules before bed (bottle is 180 cap for approx $30). I can’t really be 100% of improvement because of other simultantious lifestyle and nutrition changes in that period.
I was wondering if you could tell me you opinion on this product independently and compared to others you have reviewed. I did not see it on the Big List. Here is the composition:
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride) 6 mg
Vitamin B-12 (as cyanocobalamin) 60 mcg
Calcium (from calcium glycinate) 4.2 mg
Iron (from ferrous bis-glycinate) 60 mcg
Iodine (from potassium iodide) 0.12 mcg
Magnesium (from magnesium glycinate) 3.3 mg
Zinc (from zinc glycinate) 27 mcg
Selenium (from selenium glycinate) 3 mcg
Copper (from copper glycinate) 2.4 mcg
Manganese (from manganese glycinate) 1.6 mg
Chromium (from chromium glycinate) 102 mcg
Molybdenum (from molybdenum glycinate) 0.9 mcg
Potassium (from potassium iodide) 128.4 mg
Arginine (as l-arginine hydrochloride) 300 mg
Glutamine (as l-glutamine) 300 mg
Glycine (as l-glycine) 300 mg
Lysine (as l-lysine monohydrate hydrochloride) 300 mg
Ornithine (as l-ornithine) 300 mg
Tyrosine (as l-tyrosine) 300 mg
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) 150 mg
Kelp (Laminaria spp.) 150 mg
Cobalt (from cyanocobalamin) 2.1 mcg
Vanadium (from vanadyl sulfate) 1.2 mcg
Thank you ahead of time for your time and help
131 hgh truths // Feb 11, 2010 at 3:55 pm
Cat,
We should do a review of this product. However, while a passable nutritional product, it is not an hgh releasing product. The potential hgh releasers are there in way to small amounts to be effective.
132 john // Feb 27, 2010 at 4:32 pm
I just want to say thanks again for what you give people out here in la la land….
