My best guess is that the GHR stands for growth hormone releaser. GHR 1000 is recommended on review sites all over the web. Well at least it does not come in a spray bottle.
On the web pages there is some good growth hormone information. Like many sites they quote research done on pharmaceutical growth hormone and cleverly blur it into supporting the idea of a dietary supplement.
That is not entirely untrue. Hgh supplement products can give some of the benefits of injectables. However, the subject is not discussed in an honest manner.
This product at least list the amounts of all ingredients.
+ Vitamin B6 50 mg
+ L-Arginine HCL 500 mg
+ L-Glutamine 400 mg
+ L-Isoleucine 150 mg
+ L-Leucine 500 mg
+ L-Lysine 300 mg
+ L-Ornithine HCL 100 mg
+ L-Valine 150 mg
+ GABA 200 mg
+ Glycine 50 mg
+ Tribulus Terrestris 150 mg
+ Colostrum 100 mg
Not a bad list of ingredients by name. Some of the top natural hgh releasers are include in this gh stack. A few good ingredients are missing so I would only give it a B- on that scale. The problem here is the amounts of the individual ingredients.
All of the amino acids, listed above, require individual dosages in the multiple numbers of grams. The total for all the amino acids is just over 2 grams. Even if you subscribe to mini hgh stack theory, that is about half of what you need.
So serving size 3 with 30 servings per container becomes serving size at least 6 with 15 servings maximum per container. Individual containers retail for $79.99. If you use a cycle of 5 days on and two days off, you end up with a monthly effective cost of $106.00.
There is nothing harmful in the product and there would be some general health benefits from taking it. Those benefits would be less than you would receive from swallowing a good multiple vitamin.
Therefore, the hgh product rating for GHR 1000 would be a D.
“Stop! Wait! You said it was recommended on review sites all over the internet. I myself have seen it with four or five stars. Sometimes rated number 1 and never less than 3. What gives?”
The reason that this product is so highly rated is the $100 per sale affiliate commission that is paid to the webmaster who recommends it to you. That’s right if you buy 1 bottle for $79.99 they pay $100. They are hoping that lots of people go for the multiple bottle deals where the company starts making good money. This product should have a full retail price of $25.00 at most.
Let us get something straight. I have nothing against making money from affiliate commissions but the product has to be a good value.
This one is not.

I’m not sure why you’re dissing them for having an affiliate program. Every site on the internet selling a product or a service has an affiliate program - i.e. Amazon.com, eBay, etc…

What is the difference between GHR1000 and HGH 1000? I have been searching the web and have not been able to find an exact site that gives product details or reviews for hgh 1000.
3 hgh truths // Mar 25, 2008 at 1:36 pm
We would do a review of hgh1000 but we can’t find it for sale anywhere.
My best guess is that people have been using the term HGH 1000 when they mean GHR 1000.
So they are still talking about the same low value hgh supplement.

Hi, I am 19 years old, and was wondering if this would be good for me to take to build muscle mass, I have heard it is good for building muscle, is this true?
5 hgh truths // Mar 27, 2008 at 11:29 am
GHR1000 isn’t going to do crap to help a 19 year old develop muscle bulk. It is not even going to do much for people over 50.
Even the best hgh supplements are only a step above worthless for 19 year olds. Basically expense vitamins.
You will get more benefit from just taking a good protein supplement so that your body has the proper nutrition to build extra muscle.
6 hgh truths // Apr 1, 2008 at 7:16 pm
We are not dissing the company for having an affiliate program. We are dissing the scam artists who claim that this is the best product when GHR1000 is marginal and way over priced.
I can’t wait until Amazon starts paying a $10 commision on a $8 book. I will start marketing books 25 hours a day!

hey
my brother is 15 &he wants to grow to about 6 foot 7. so he’s become set on taking this product.
it seems that you’re the only website that doesn’t recommend it…
i’ve been trying to find points for him not to take it but so far i don’t think he’s listening to me. (i’ve pointed out that most websites say something along the lines of “take this with a healthy diet & regular exercise” but surely the benefits would come sley from regular exercise & a healthy diet.
i understand that it may be beneficial to the elderly or people with defective hgh levels
but alex, my brother, is fine. in fact, he’s overweight so just exercising regularly & eating healthy foods should give him the so called benefits anyway
although perhaps not height…i mean, i suppose a healthy lifestyle could aid him growing taller over the next few years since he won’t stop until about 18
but can you please tell me the side-effects? i don’t see how taking any form of drug could not have side-effects. alse, assuming he did take it for 3 years, what happens when he stops?
also, knowing my brother, taking this pill probably won’t motivate him to change his lifestyle that much anyway so then, what? will it just be a waste of money? or could that be potentially dangerous?
thanks for your time,
steph

Stephanie,
Please notice that this is a D rated product. It is not even of much value to the anti-aging crowd who have reduced hormone levels. Rereading this review, I now remember what a lousy product it is.
GHR1000 won’t do squat for someone who is 15. Only thing it will do is make his wallet lighter.
A 15 year old is already ramped up to full hormone levels. Even the best hgh supplements are only going to have a slightly above placebo vitamin effect. A real waste of money. They will not do anything about the weight problem. The only thing to accomplish that is getting off his butt and exercising while eating at least a decent diet.
Even spending $4,000 a month on injectable human growth hormone will have next to no effect on his height. That is already programed in to his body.
He would have no real negative side effects from the hgh supplements. They would pretty much mirror his lack of benefits.

You mentioned that “A few good ingredients are missing” from GHR1000. Which ones are missing? Is there a product that offers all the HGH releasers in one package or is it better to buy everything separately? Billy
10 Jim // May 20, 2008 at 5:15 pm
You seem to be the only site I have seen that has a bad review of this product. Did you create this article based on your own personal experience or what you ‘think’? I have read many actual customer reviews that are positive, so this little article of yours in my opinion is not credited.
11 admin // May 20, 2008 at 5:45 pm
Billy,
If you looked around the site you will have found some good combination products.
GHR1000 isn’t worth bother with because it just does not have enough in it to be of much use. There are products we have reviewed that are four times as good for half the price.
12 admin // May 20, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Jim,
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Personally, all I have seen on the net are fake reviews. I would not waste my money taking this product because all I have to do is read the label to know that it is real weak. Anybody who knows anything about hgh can easily see that too.
$25 will get you products twice this good so why pay $79 for a bottle of this?
13 Ian Mathews // May 23, 2008 at 4:32 am
im 18 trying to gain weight and muscle mass, i feel like ive hit a plateu, is this something good to take to get me out of this rut?
14 admin // May 24, 2008 at 7:25 pm
At 18, there is not a whole lot that supplements are going to do for you. Get plenty of proein and change your workout style. Come back to working on weight gain after awhile.
15 Luka // Jun 10, 2008 at 11:48 pm
Hello there,
I am 30 years old and have been working out for 10 years. I have 182 cm and 98 kgs. Nobody can believe I am so heavy when looked at me ( I look “ordinary”) so they think my bones are heavy. But they are not. I am very frustruted since having wrists and ankles very tiny like a 12 year old boy or a girl. Basicly, parts lower from elbow and knees are not developed like the rest of parts.
Would HGH help me to strengthen these parts of my body or what would do you recomend?
Thanks!
Luka from Slovenia
16 hgh truths // Jun 11, 2008 at 8:31 am
The only thing that is going to specifically strengthen those areas is to do specific exercises that target those areas.
Hgh has a system wide effect.
17 Rick // Jul 29, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Thanks for the info regarding GHR1000. You mentioned there were products that were cheaper and better, what are they? Thanks.
Rick
18 hgh truths // Aug 2, 2008 at 11:06 am
Go to the big list of supplement reviews and look around. There are quite a few hgh products that are a much better deal than Ghr1000.
19 Suz // Sep 17, 2008 at 2:50 pm
So, if ghr1000 is junk, what, if any of these hgh products do you recommend? Suz
20 Supertalented // Sep 18, 2008 at 11:29 am
The Problem with this Product is just that the name hypes an uproar because it mentions HGH but in actually its not anything close, it just a good blend of natural amino acids and tribulus which is a natural testosterone producer! Real HGH that Pro-Athletes take and Bodybuilders can only be purchased for Thousands of Dollars..If you want real HGH like the big boys do your research to see what HGH is… this simple product GHR1000 is not I repeat, nor does it contain The HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE! Look at the ingredients…and to see what HGH is go to wikipeidia.org and type in HGH to see what it is, if it doesn’t have that on the bottle then its not it! You’re getting this from a pro-athlete who has taken the Real Deal HGH by Needle there is no comparison and I’m sick of knock off products scamming america!!!
21 hgh truths // Sep 20, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Suz,
Hopefully by now you have stumbled on the reviews of some better products. Anything in the “B” range should be a decent product.
22 hgh truths // Sep 20, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Supertalented,
Actually it is not all that great a blend of amino acids. We gave them too much credit.
Tribulus is way over rated.
The only bottle that would match wikipedia would be one that requires a syringe. Any supplement that claims to have real hgh in it is a fraud.
23 John // Oct 16, 2008 at 10:37 am
So basically the “real” stuff is too expensive and all the other tablet forms are a waste of time?
24 Emet // Dec 6, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Hello,
I am back to the gym after a couple years now and was heard of the HGH 1000 product, apparently popular in Europe.
They do have a site, hgh1000.com, and will give it a shot as I’ve used releasers in the past with good results. I’ll check back and post results.
25 serge // Dec 20, 2008 at 10:51 am
ghr1000, used this product for 5 months, all i can say is save your money, didn’t do anything for me, there site answers every question i asked, they would get back to me within 24-48 hours of asking, when i had taken the product for about 2 months i emailed and said when will i start seeing some results, they said very soon, after taking it for about 4 months and still not seeing any results, i emailed again and never heard from them again, total crap, to me they just took the money and ran as fast as they could, save your money…
26 serge // Dec 20, 2008 at 10:56 am
i just ordered secretagogue gold, hope i might get some results from this product, your site gives it a b+ so it should get some better results…
27 Rob // Jan 6, 2009 at 10:15 am
i myself used the ghr1000 product and i agree with serge, the product is crap… i seen no results after about 3 months so emailed them and they said jus give it more time so i finished out my full 6 months and seen nothin… big waste of money
28 Not serious??? // Jan 13, 2009 at 10:19 am
About GHR 1000…
They must have problem, cause I’ve ordered
this product sept. 2008 and paid with my
mastercard but they haven’t send anything to me. I’ve tried to mail their support several times
but they don’t answer. So infact they have stolen
my money. Can’t be a serious firm.
Thanks for a good site with lots of facts!!!
Now I have ordered Secretagogue Gold and that worked perfect and serious.
29 hgh truths // Jan 13, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Serge, Rob & Not Serious,
Bad products and bad companies seem to go hand in hand.
30 Dale Ogden // Jan 20, 2009 at 6:14 am
I appreciate your reviews but I would appreciate it if you could put the various products in an order from good to bad.I wasnt able to find any A GRADED products,but I am not sure if I missed something.Thank you
31 hgh truths // Jan 20, 2009 at 9:55 am
Dale,
We are working on that but to be honest it is not a top priority. Kind of time consuming. We should have thought of it when we began doing reviews.
As of this date, there has been no “A” graded products found. The highest grade given so far has been a B+.
32 JSon // Jan 20, 2009 at 4:34 pm
I unwisely just purchased some ghr1000 and luckily found this site soon after. It claims on their website that they will refund any unopen bottles. Should i try and get my refund or will they just stiff me? If anyone can give me some advice or has been in a similar situation i would greatly appreciate it.
33 hgh truths // Jan 20, 2009 at 5:00 pm
JSon,
Wish I could answer that question for you. What a bad guarantee.
Only unopened bottles and a 15% restocking fee. Just another reason to avoid this product.
34 Sam // Mar 15, 2009 at 11:11 am
I am trying to gain mucle and lose weight for wrestling and football, i am almost 16 years old. i was looking towards hgh for the muscle gain and my dad is also pushing it for the ability to gain hieght.
If this product will not do more than just creatines and protiens, will it give me more hieght or will it be a waste of money?
and your professi0nal oppinion what is best i take to gain muscle and lose weight?
35 hgh truths // Mar 15, 2009 at 11:48 am
Good multiple source time released protein supplements and weight work will do more to gain muscle than anything else. HGH supplements are a waste of your money. This product will not do anything to increase your height.
36 Bryan // Mar 16, 2009 at 8:28 pm
i just found this fact online
and im just posting it here
i take no credits for it.
just Posting something i read and i found it interesting.
_______________________________
The GHR1000 HGH releaser is formulated to stimulate your pituitary gland to release more of its own natural human growth hormone and GHR1000 is an all natural herbal blend that does not contain HGH and is 100% safe.
Thus the marketing slogan, and it is right, according to current knowledge on HGH Supplements, the active ingredients (amino acids) are there in sufficient volume to help the body release its own HGH in people with non to low physical activity levels and diets that contain too little protein.
37 hgh truths // Mar 16, 2009 at 9:01 pm
Bryan,
There is no fact there at all. There is more missing in the way of facts than GHR1000 is missing inthe way of ingredients. The amount of amino acids is not even in the ball park of what is needed and there are no supporting ingredients. There are better products available for under $20.
38 eric // Apr 23, 2009 at 1:16 pm
you have no a rated products? so what is your scale based on if there is no top grade? sounds like this website is a scam to me
39 hgh truths // Apr 23, 2009 at 6:28 pm
eric,
None of that public school grade inflation for us. An “A” product would need to excellent in all dimensions: ingredients, value, content disclosure and honesty.
Interestingly, you left your comment on the review for one of the biggest hgh rip-off products that doesn’t come in a spray bottle.
40 Denise // Apr 24, 2009 at 6:29 am
Hi, my son wants to gain more muscle weight. He will begin football in the fall. At the moment he is around 6ft tall and almost 160 lbs. (15 yrs old in June) He does weight lifting during recess. Many of his “new” friends on the team have recommended him to begin Tokyo Stackers??? The local gym is selling it for $150.00 I need advise, I am really scared to let him take anything. My father was a bodybuilder before his death and I remember a lot of suppliments, protein shakes , and I think maybe creatine??? He is no longer around to help me with my son, any advise would really help me have this ongoing discussion with him.
Thanks,
Denise
41 hgh truths // Apr 24, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Denise,
“Break out the frying pan and smack some sense into him”. His friends are pointing him in a direction of wasted money. Most bodybuilding supplements are a complete waste to teenagers. The two of the exceptions would be the protein shakes and creatine. They should do him some good and very doubtful they would do any harm. Maybe throw in a good superfood product along the lines of Green Magic.
Never heard of Tokyo Stackers and could not find any online information on it.
42 Denise // Apr 28, 2009 at 5:21 am
Thanks so much , I also could not find any information on them. In fact he told me this weekend we needed to hurry up and get them becasue the gym would only be selling them until June, because they would be no longer legal. Big alarm for me! I am so thankful for your insight. It seems teens just think moms are ridiculous!!!!
Thanks Again!!
43 hgh truths // May 1, 2009 at 8:00 am
Denise,
I don’t know of any new law that is suddenly making something illegal. Odds are it is probably already an illegal mix. One of the larger sports supplement companies just got popped by the goverment for using unapproved ingredients in their products.
I know I didn’t appreaciate my Mom enough when i was a teen.
44 John // May 1, 2009 at 1:23 pm
good thing I ran into your site i’ve been looking to see which hgh product is the best and every company I go to says “they are the real one and the best”. So what your saying is the hgh that actually help build muscles are the one that you have to shoot up and cost too much for us average joe is that correct?
45 hgh truths // May 1, 2009 at 3:04 pm
John,
If your under the age of 35 that is pretty much the case. Even then hgh is not really a big muscle builder. It does more to lean you out.
46 dotun // May 18, 2009 at 3:11 pm
can you try evaluate maxagen, i hear its a good product
47 hgh truths // May 19, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Maxagen is just something like Genf20 packaged with a bunch of BS marketing. Basically crap.
