This time we have an hgh releaser supplement that comes as individual packets of powder.
This product comes from Maximum Human Performance ( MHP ) and was formulated by Dr. Vincent C. Giampapa, MD. Dr. Giampapa was a founding member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine ( A4M ).
Maybe we are actually looking at a decent product.
This time the ingredients were easy to find. We just took them off the box.
Ingredients:
+ Anterior pituitary substance 25 mg
+ Broad Bean 10 mg
Amino acid blend: 5,000 mg
+ Glycine
+ L-Glutamine
+ L-Tyrosine
+ GABA
+ L-Arginine ( as L-arginine HCL )
+ Pyroglutamic acid
+ L-Lysine ( as L-lycine HCL )
Good ingredients. All proven growth hormone releasers. A very good gh stack.
This is an older formula and would be better if it was updated with the addition of a couple newer supplements.
We never like it when the exact amount of each ingredient is not disclosed. The 5,000 mg amino acid blend could theoretically contain enough of one or two to stimulate growth hormone release. Shame not to have the real information.
I said the ingredients came off the box. No, I did not just read it on a shelf. I have actually taken this product.
See, when we find what looks to be a decent product, we buy some and give it a try. Well we bought some boxes of Secretagogue One and took it for a couple of weeks.
The test subjects are all people who are into these kinds of supplements and have a long history of taking it. There were no fancy blood test but all the experiential reports were positive.
When properly cycled, each box can be a 6 week supply. The suggested retail is $74.95 but it can be found on the web for under $45.00. That makes the monthly effective cost about $30.00. A good value.
This is one of the best anti-aging products we have come across to date.
We do have to grade down for the lack of full disclosure.
Secretagogue One receives a product rating of B.

would you use mhp with life renewal hgh. Thanx
2 hgh truths // Apr 22, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Since we are on the Secretagogue One post, I am going to assume that is what you mean by mhp.
Yes, you could use Life Renewal HGH to add some extra kick.

Just curious, I start my cycle of Secretagogue One today, and was wondering if I can (or should) keep taking protein and flaxseed oil in addition to my cycle, or would that have a negative effect on the Secretagogue?
BTW, guys, this site kicks. Keep up the good work. It’s nice to know some people actually do their research without getting bought up and sucked in by the almighty dollar.

As long as you take the Secretagogue One on an empty stomach as directed, there is no problem.
I do my protein and assorted goodies shake every morning.
We still don’t mind the almighty dollar but are willing to make it a few cents at a time. Call us old fashioned. We believe that honesty and service are more profitable over the long term.
We have more fun and sleep better too.

Also, how do you stretch each box into a six week supply? Will you still acheive the desired results? I’m assuming you’re taking every 3rd day off or so??..thanks again.
6 admin // May 2, 2008 at 5:55 am
You can stretch it out by using basic cycling.
Five days on and two days off.
A 30 serving box becomes a six week supply and you get better long term results.

8 Leo // Jun 11, 2008 at 9:16 pm
do you have to take Secetagogue-one right before u sleep or is it just like any other a post trianing supplement
9 hgh truths // Jun 12, 2008 at 5:10 am
The best and most effective time to take Secretagogue One is before bedtime on an empty stomach. At least two hours since you have had anything to eat.
10 jerry72 // Jun 19, 2008 at 9:10 am
Folks, this is a great site! Please keep up the good work.
I have just started with this duo:
GH Stack (Universal) - before breakfast
Secretagogue One - before bedtime
Would you reccommend taking something in between…? E.g. aminos like Arginine/Ornithin before lunch?
I’m 36 and would like to see some muscle growth
I’m planning to go on with this for 3 months. May be able to send you some comments/experiences then.
Any by the way, do you think that the results from taking these supplements can be comparable to the real stuff e.g. hgh injectables, etc?
11 admin // Jun 19, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Jerry,
My opinion is that you are already over doing it for starting out. You don’t need to mix anything else in. Maybe some extra protein powder if you are not already taking it.
Supplements don’t have the kick of the injections but the long run results can often be as good or greater without the high risks of misuse.

I was reading above and it said “This is an older formula and would be better if it was updated with the addition of a couple newer supplements,” What would your suggestions be to stack with this product to make it a more current product? Thank you in advance!
13 hgh truths // Jun 28, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Secretagogue Gold is the updated version of Secretagogue One. Both are basically good products.
People worry way to much about stacking more things together. If a product works then more is not often better and can actually be worse. See the hgh cycling post.

Can I stack this with Arimatest (musclemeds)??
15 hgh truths // Jul 25, 2008 at 7:44 pm
David,
Who knows? I took a quick look at Arimatest but didn’t bother to research the actual chemical ingredients. I am always skeptical of people who make big claims.
That said, I do not know of any reason why not.
16 David // Jul 26, 2008 at 9:44 am
I know its suggested to take at bedtime at least 2 hrs after eating but Ive read that some take it right before workout (on an empty stomach I assume). Is there any benefit to the latter?
17 hgh truths // Jul 26, 2008 at 7:16 pm
The number one time to take any hgh supplement is at bedtime on an empty stomach.
Second best is when you first wake up and allowing 30 minutes before eating.
Empty stomach before exercise is OK but just not the best.
18 david // Jul 26, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Ok one more question. Because of my schedule I workout at around 10.30pm and ususlly dont finish till 12-1am and have a protien shake immediately afterwards. Is the protien shake considered “food” and have to wait 2 hrs or is it a “liquid” that can I wait say 1 hr before taking Secretagogue One.
I dont think I can stay up till 3am to take it if thats the case. So itll either be take it in the morning or try and get into the gym earlier.
19 hgh truths // Aug 2, 2008 at 4:29 pm
David,
A protein shake would count as food.

So the first ingredient here is anterior pituitary substance. This raises some concern because wouldn’t this have to be derived from an animal?! If so, isn’t this then a big risk for possibly getting creutzfeldt jakob disease aka mad cow disease?!
21 kwesi300 // Aug 4, 2008 at 7:07 pm
How much does it cost to get one bottle of the secretagogue
22 hgh truths // Aug 4, 2008 at 7:17 pm
kwesi300,
We say in the review that Secretagogue One can be found for under $45 per box. The exact price varies.
Anterior Pituitary Substance definitely comes from animal sources. Either bovine or porcine. Cows or pigs.
Like any ingredient the quality varies with the source. The best suppliers only use pituitary from very carefully monitored animals. That is probably the level used by MHP.
The risk of CJD is probably on par with eating pork or beef. This is not the product to buy if you are looking for a vegetarian or kosher hgh product.

First I want to say that this site is great. Great information. Second I was just wondering if by using supplements to trigger natural hgh release would you actually be depleting the whatever your body naturally stores for hgh? For instance if you use secretagogue one for years will you eventually run out of your hgh?
24 hgh truths // Aug 23, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Chris,
There are no “stores” of hgh in the body. It needs to be created on an ongoing base by the pituitary gland.
Natural production really starts declining at around age 20 and really starts falling like a rock after 40.
Secretagogue One just stimulates the pituitary to release more.
