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.
D.E.
4 hgh truths // May 1, 2008 at 7:51 pm
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.
5 D.E. // May 1, 2008 at 8:04 pm
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.
7 michael breaker // Jun 10, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Secetagogue-one.Is their additional benefits by adding gaba too this product & What is your feedback on the hgh product Somatomax ??on the aspertame is it harmfull .Thank you
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.
12 Chuck // Jun 28, 2008 at 4:06 pm
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.
14 David // Jul 25, 2008 at 4:16 pm
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.
20 Madeline // Aug 3, 2008 at 9:03 pm
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.
23 Chris // Aug 23, 2008 at 2:51 pm
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.
25 david // Sep 9, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Can this be staked with another GH supplement like Hexaghen from MuscleMeds??
26 david // Sep 9, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Also comapred to the real stuff how much does Secretagogue One raise or make rise your GH levels. Has there been any studies on this.? For example taking Secretagogue One is equivilent to a daily injection of “X” amount of Humatrope??
27 hgh truths // Sep 20, 2008 at 2:19 pm
That kind of study would cost to much money and no supplement company has ever done a real one.
Most studies on injectable hgh have only had a small number of participants. The lack of real comprehensive studies is part of the problem.
28 Jerry72 // Sep 21, 2008 at 10:47 am
I’ve tried both Secretagogue One and Gold (1 month each). I got a real kick from Secretagogue One but felt (almost) nothing when taking Secretagogue Gold. The difference has to be the anterior pitiuitary substance (otherwise the composition is similar). I’ve checked and there has been several studies on the effect of anterior pitiuitary substance on growth, this one is from 1934 (!) http://www.jem.org/cgi/reprint/59/6/699.pdf (on albino rats, very clear results) so, clearly it works, but Madeline may have a point here. I’m taking Secretagogue One again but trying to find something else that works equally well without the (hopefully very, very slight) risk of getting some weird disease.
I’ve just purchased a box of HEMOGEX (from VPX) is has some massive doses of alpha GPC and GHRP-2 so it might work, I will let you know how it works out if you are interested. Have you tested this product?
29 kathy // Sep 30, 2008 at 2:30 am
hi there
i was just wondering what hgh product which works would has ingredients which are vegetarian or kosher??
30 hgh truths // Oct 1, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Kathy,
The only products that definitely are not vegetarian are those that contain any kind of pituitary or other glandular extracts.
Once upon a time, most amino acids were animal sourced. These days they are either synthesized from chemicals or derived from plant sources. I doubt any vitamin supplement manufacturer uses any amino acids from animal sources.
The only way to know for sure is to find a product that looks good to you and contact the manufacturer.
I just checked a couple dozen packages around the office and none of them were marketed kosher or vegetarian.
31 Rich // Oct 18, 2008 at 9:33 am
Hi.
Awesome site. Just a quick question. At 40 years old, would I benefit more by taking two sachets of secretagogue one nightly, thereby doubling up on the ingredients, or just stick two one sachet?
32 hgh truths // Oct 23, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Rich,
I always suggest starting with the regular dosage. That is usually enough. Taking twice as much sometimes actually slows down the results.
33 hassan wasim // Nov 14, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Hello, i have been taking secetagogue gold for the last five day, i have lost 2 pounds and feel great….my workout are more long lasting and i can stay on treadmill for 60 min straight without stopping,but i have noticed that my mid section and buttocks are more flabby kinnda loose.Do you think i should keep taking ?? if not can you recommend a better product. Thanking you
34 hgh truths // Nov 15, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Hassan,
My advice is to stick with it and do an evaluation when you are ready to buy your next box.
35 Neil // Nov 23, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Admin,
I’m a 44 year old weight lifter who has been training for over 20 years. I’ve been taking this product for several months and was wondering if it could be stacked with colostrum without impacting the effectiveness of either product. I’m intrigued with colostrum’s natural growth factors and wanted to get your take.
Thanks!
36 hgh truths // Nov 26, 2008 at 6:18 pm
Neil,
Colostrum’s effectiveness would not be hurt because it does not have any. If you are looking for effective natural growth factors, try chlorella.
37 Nick // Dec 4, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Hi i just saw things about somatomax and i was looking at taking it, but i am only 18, will it have any negative effects on me? Could i stack it with pure Alpha GPC?
38 Bri // Dec 31, 2008 at 2:51 pm
This seems to be a great site! I have one question - I have taken Secretagogue One in the past (maybe 2 years ago) and it seemed to work well, but the GNC store here no longer carries the product, and I have been looking for it online. I found a site that sells both Secretagogue One and Secretagogue Gold - is this (Gold) a better product? It costs just a few dollars more, and I am just wondering if it has anything extra that the original formula doesn’t. Thanks!
39 admin // Jan 2, 2009 at 10:40 am
Bri,
Secretagogue One is a good product but we feel that Secretagogue Gold is slightly better for most people.
By now you have probablt read the review for Gold:

40 Isabel Elam // Jan 5, 2009 at 5:14 pm
Adm,
I have done a lot of research over the past few weeks…as most people I am very glad and appreciative about your site and the “real” info you provide. I am 33 years old and my husband is 41. I had origionally decided on getting Secretagogue Gold since you said it was slightly better but ended up getting Secretagogue One (I got the wrong product) Should we stick with what we got or would you recommend exchange? Also, I am currently taking an Amino Acid suppliment (GNC)for “Wellness”. Should I continue taking this or stop? What about other vitamins? Multi-vitamin, Fish Oil etc?
Thanks for your help - keep up the great work!
Isabel
41 Mary // Jan 11, 2009 at 5:24 pm
To Admin,
I am 45 and I just ordered Secretagogue one and I was thinking of taking L-ARGININE - L-ORNITHINE - L-LYSINE (around 4,000 mg) before working out. Is there any problem with this combination? Also, can a 16 year old female athlete take any of these supplements, or is there any harm?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
42 Mary // Jan 11, 2009 at 6:32 pm
To Admin,
Secretagogue one is taking at bedtime on an empty stomach. Is two hours sufficient?
Thank you
43 hgh truths // Jan 13, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Isabel,
Take the Secretagogue One for now and try the Secrteagogue Gold next time. See for yourself which one you like best.
You can continue taking other things, just don’t take them at the same time.
44 hgh truths // Jan 13, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Mary,
There should be no problem with that combination.
I would not give a 16 year old Secretagogue One but the straight aminos probably would not hurt though she would probably get more benefit from a super food product like Green Magic.
45 hgh truths // Jan 13, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Mary,
I usually only have a gap of two hours and that works fine for me.
46 Mary // Jan 14, 2009 at 4:25 pm
To Admin,
You don’t recommend the Secretagogue One to a 16 years old. Is there anything on this product that can damage her health? The amino acids that I mentioned would be alright for my 16 year old, but how many milligrams? Can she take them before practice or at bedtime? Can she take them along with Green magic? Thank you so much for your help.
47 hgh truths // Jan 14, 2009 at 10:39 pm
If you are meaning to give any of this for the growth hormone effect, forget it. You are wasting your money with a 16 year old. I 0ld said the amino acid complex could be OK because the Arginine can improve blood flow in a way that helps remove cellular waste products from exercise. Something like 2 to 5 grams.
For general athletic development and health you are better off mixing the Green Magic with a complete/multi-stage protein powder.
48 Mary // Jan 15, 2009 at 8:39 am
To Admin,
They practice for as long as 3 hours and sometimes I notice that she is very tired. In particular if the workout is after a day in school. What is the best protein powder for her? Should she take the amino acid complex before workout and the Green Magic and protein powder after workout or the amino acids before bedtime as recommended by the manufacturer. I am just trying to make the right choice, and I can tell that you have a tremendous knowledge on this area.
Thank you for your help.
I am taking the secretagogue One, and I like the taste. Tastes like orange soda.
49 hgh truths // Jan 16, 2009 at 10:00 am
Mary,
For a 16 year old:
The amino acids would probably fit in best before the workout.
The Green Magic and protein would probably work best at bedtime or as part of a morning power shake.
I am currently using a protein powder from EAS that I pick up at Costco. However, there are a lot of choices out there. Pick one that is staged/time released. It will have proteins from three or more sources that are digested at different rates.
Since I keep mentioning Green Magic to people, I am going to do a review this weekend even though this is not an hgh product.
50 Mary // Jan 16, 2009 at 11:31 am
To Admin,
I want to thank you for your help. I will follow your advice and I will let you know the results.
51 hgh truths // Jan 16, 2009 at 5:44 pm

53 hgh truths // Jan 17, 2009 at 10:25 pm

We could do a review and have it up tomorrow. Not in a big writing mood at the moment. The short answer is that it is crap.
54 Clayton // Feb 3, 2009 at 9:05 am
Richard,
Thanks for all the useful info I am currently taking a stack of my own and I wanted your input on the amounts I am taking and how I am cycling.Any input would be greatly appreciated.I am currently taking 8grams L-Glycine,3grams Glutamine,3 grams GABA,Arginine Pyroglutamate1500mg and L-Lysine750mg,L-Arginine 12 grams,and mucuna puriens extract 1,00mg at 50%(so 500mg pure l-dopa).I take all of these at once before I go to sleep and I wanted to make sure they won’t be canceling each other out.I am taking it six weeks on and two weeks off so I was also wondering if I should just take it 5 out of the 7 days for the 6 weeks.I have been sleeping like a baby so I think they have been working well.
55 Dan // Feb 6, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Since you are obviously somewhat knowledgable on the subject of HGH enhancers and such. What would your “Perfect” or “A” Rate Formula contain? I already take a solid dosage of Arginine, Carnitine, BCAAs, Glutamine, Whey/Caesin Proteins, & Creatine as part of my daily supplements. If I could kind of make my own “proprietary blend” to take I would much rather do that, but a little help from someone with a little more expertise in the field would help. Thanks
56 hgh truths // Feb 7, 2009 at 10:51 am
Dan,
Over the next few weeks we are going to be writing about all the hgh secretagogues. This should provide people with the information to design their own personal hgh releasers.
The one comment I will make now is that arginine is way over rated.
57 Clayton // Feb 7, 2009 at 4:38 pm
I apologize for the confusion but my question was actually directed at HGH TRUTHS,I addressed it to richard on accident I was wondering about my stack I have put together and if my doses were on point.If I need to use less of something or more I will do so and I hope these don’t cancel each other out.Someone was mentioning to me that they could cancel each other out but I cannot find anything to back their statement up any input would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!
58 hgh truths // Feb 7, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Clayton,
Basically, I would forget the 12 grams of arginine and reduce the mucuna by 90%.
59 Rob // Feb 10, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Please review Trimedica, Oral HGH and send me your response. Thanks
60 Clayton // Feb 11, 2009 at 8:09 am
Thanks for the input I didn’t think these ingredients would cancel each other out and I reduced my mucuna by alot.I was wondering what other individual ingredients you would recommend for my gh stack.I go to the fire academy from 8am to 5pm and I lift weights afterwards and train physically so I need all the extra gh release I can get to prevent catabolism and speed recovery.I am starting to take this stuff 3 times a day and I was wondering if I should cycle 5 days on and take 2days off for 6weeks and then rest for 2 weeks from it completely.Any wisdom on this subject is greatly appreciated I want to get the most out of my stack and rest off of it only when it will help me to do so.
61 hgh truths // Feb 11, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Rob,
We will have a review in the next few days but we don’t send it out.
62 hgh truths // Feb 11, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Clayton,
The ingredients don’t cancel each other out. You just don’t get any extra hgh release from all the extra mucuna. Arginine just is not that great an hgh releaser. It is much better in the moment for nitric oxide.
Cycling always helps you have a greater long term benefit.
63 Bruce // Feb 13, 2009 at 7:42 am
Have you heard of a product called GHX it is a very expensive transdermal cream and I am not sure about the ingredients or the amounts.Also I was wondering about different ingedients for gh release and what you would recommend as the best.
64 Danny // Feb 13, 2009 at 8:06 am
I saw that someone had asked you about arimatest and I am hopeful about this product but I cannot find a single bit of unbiased info or studies on the ingredients.I have taken it and seem to definitely feel a difference in strength and well being(good signs) but I would like to have some reassurance from someone knowledgeable.The 10,000% claims do seem far fetched but I was just wondering if maybe you have found some research or something on the ingredients in this product.Hopefully some supplement company will find a loophole so that men can enjoy the benefits of beneficial hormone boosting before the government bans more supplements that aren’t any worse for you than a whopper from burger king.
65 Clayton // Feb 13, 2009 at 7:18 pm
I was wondering if you had any advice as far as testosterone boosters go I know this site is about gh but I want to get the best of both worlds and as a man who is trying to stay physically fit I know testosterone is very important.I am currently taking arimatest and I know someone had asked you about the ingredients in it b4.I was wondering if you had found any unbiased studies or information on the ingredients in this product,I can’t find anything on the ingredients in this product but i do feel more agressive and I can lift significantly more in the gym.Claims of 10,000% boost in testosterone definitely makes me a little skeptical but I am hopeful and I am tempted to get saliva tests b4 and after.I am confident in my hgh boosting ingredients but I feel like I am taking a shot in the dark when it comes to the testosterone.I just don’t want to waste time or money when it comes to my overall physical health.
66 hgh truths // Feb 13, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Bruce,
GHX just looks like another bogus sports nutrition product with BS marketing. It has been put on our review list.
67 hgh truths // Feb 13, 2009 at 9:26 pm
Danny,
So many people have been asking about this product that i might have to write a review just for fun.
I really hate companies that use the chemical names instead of plain English names for ingredients. Usually a way to cause confusion so they can over charge you for ingredients that you can buy elsewhere for less money.
10.000% increase? Why would you even want to do that?
A claim like that needs to come with a research report from John Hopkins.
If a supplement product really did that it would be scooped up by one of the giant pharma conglomerates. The prescription drugs for testosterone boosting are a multi-billion dollar business. The the drugs don’t give that kind of boost.
As some one who fought for the DSHEA Act of 1994, my opinion is that the number one tool the government uses to gain more control is irresponsible, greedy supplement marketers.
It would be nice if the FTC and the FDA used the powers they already have to keep these people honest.
A testosterone and gh releasing whooper? That would be a fine thing to wash down with a contraceptive beer.
68 hgh truths // Feb 13, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Clayton,
See my reply to Danny.
I think that this product does have ingredients that can help boost testosterone but don’t belive the 10,000% claim.
Boosters depend on the reason and age.
69 Clayton // Feb 15, 2009 at 7:32 pm
HGH Truths,
I appreciate the input and I will definitely check in to see if you write a review on Arimatest.I know what you mean about the deception when it comes to chemical names.Methyl 1D contains 20 mg of a so called “ANABOLIC AGENT”.Well this anabolic agent is nothing more than 20 mg of DHEA,”RIDICULOUS”.Although dhea can have great health benefits for older men 20mg will not do anything in the way of performance and test boosting.It will be interesting to find out what arimatest is actually using.I am convinced I want to get before and after hormone tests to see 4 myself what these testosterone products can do 4 me.I can get them for next to nothing thanks to some family I have that works at a doctor’s office and I think it’s time to cut thru the bs.I mean if I can’t do that I might just get saliva test kits off the net for around $40.I think it would be a good idea anyways because what works for someone else might not work for me and a few bucks spent now might prevent me wasting gobs of money in the future!!!!!
70 Clayton // Feb 19, 2009 at 8:16 am
Well my blood tests came in and after an hour of ingesting arimatest(The time it’s claimed to raise them the most) my test levels were around 780 ng/dl i haven’t had a baseline done yet but I think it’s safe to say we have confirmed the 10,000% claim to be a marketing ploy which I’m sure we could all figure already.I have researched more and the ingredients seem to be atd which is an effective aromatose blocker and is good for post cycle therapy for people on steroids or prohormones which i do not support.I know this is not a testosterone based site but I hope this information can help people make wise decisions on hormone boosting.I wouldn’t count this out as an effective test booster just yet but know it is nbo different than any other test booster out there as far as it’s ability to boost test levels.
71 hgh truths // Feb 19, 2009 at 11:28 am
Clayton,
Thanks for the report. That measurement just sticks you in the normal testosterone range for adult males.
A 10,000% increase is ludicrous and interestingly no mention is made by the marketers of the potential danger of hig testosterone levels.
What people should be seeking is small increases over a period of time. This gives all the benefits of increasing testosterone without the negative side effects.

I was wondering why I could reduce my mucuna amounts by so much.I figured it is because of a synergistic effect because as a stand alone ingredient I have read that you need to use enough of the extract 2 equal 500mg l-dopa for maximum effectiveness.So I am wondering if by taking these ingredients in the amounts they are all effective at by themselves and putting them all together maybe they would be more effective.You can probably see I have alot of ingredients in there that are known for raising gh very effectively.
77 hgh truths // Feb 26, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Clayton,
The whole thing you read around the internet about 500mg of L-dopa being optimum is based on a 30 to 40 year old group of studies. You just don’t need that much in a stack. 25 to 100 mg is plenty. You are also better off with a 20% extract because the herb contains ingredients that counter act potential negatives. These ingredients disappear as you make a more refined extract.

Thanks for the updated reviews I dont even bother looking up a product I see that you didnt review yet, you obviously have it covered even if it isnt listed yet
thanks again …starting 4th week of my gold feeling great sleeping awesome, a few leg cramps in the calves… which I assume are normal?

Candi,
Leg cramps usually are the result of either a mineral deficiency or exercise.

I just found hgh truths, and am so happy I did! I came to the Secretagogue One review ’cause that’s what I took for two years with amazing results. I did three months on, six months off…five days on, two off. I quit because of the cancer talk. So, my question is this: Do you think that because IGF-1 inhibits cell death and promotes cell proliferation, does it stimulate the growth of pre-cancerous cells that might otherwise be attacked and die naturally? I’m sure this has been addressed here, and I will search, but I really want to do another cycle, but want to get hgh truths view on this first.

Linda,
If I was diagnosed with cancer I would probably play it very cautious.
That not being the case I don’t worry it. I believe that being healthier is the best defense against illness. Proper supplement therapy really only is creating small increases over a steady period of time. So I choose to take the supplements. Everybody needs to make their own personal choice.
The big problem with side effects such as cancer really comes from abuse of injectable human growth hormone.
82 John // Mar 14, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Thank you so much for the honest site.
Tried Secretagogue-One for a week now after reading your reviews. Noticed effects within first couple days.
First things I noticed were very intense dream states and waking with muscles in my back feeling warm as if there was a lot of blood circulation. (I have always noticed significant muscle healing when these two states occurred.)
After a week, muscles in back and shoulder feel much better. Both of which were bothering me previously.
Overall, my internal organs feel “healthier”.
I am a natural pessimist for any product, but this one actually seems to be working.
I’m 46, but physically feel like I did when I was much younger. Now if only it would take away some of those crow’s-feet!

Hi, I read on a website that it’s possible that this product could give people the CFJ disease (human for of mad cow disease). Do both Secretatgogue One and Secreatgogue Gold carry this risk?
Ellie
84 hgh truths // Mar 15, 2009 at 10:46 am
The only Secretagogue One would have that extremely remote possibility as Secretagogue Gold contains no animal products.
Even with Secretagogue One the possibility is on par with the chance of getting CJD because you walked inside a McDonald’s. The sources for the anterior pituitary used by major manufacturers are companies in Switzerland that have been making these glandular products for years. Generally with pharmaceutical manufacturing testing standards.
Don’t know about the sources for some of the smaller fly by night companies.
85 hgh truths // Mar 15, 2009 at 10:52 am
John,
The crows feet can often be helped too. Many people taking hgh supplements experience better cellular hydration. This actually fills in the lines from the inside.
86 John // Mar 15, 2009 at 5:23 pm
hgh truths,
I saw a Danny Bonaduche (sp?) youtube clip about his using hgh and he says that he uses it to help his kidney and liver functions. I swear, I feel internally like I did when I was 26 instead of 46. Hard to explain, but I actually feel “well” all over.
This is from somebody that knows all about various supplements, and has a few years of body building under the belt.
I just haven’t encountered anything that actually works so well.
. . . and a few less wrinkles would certainly be a plus!
Thank you SO MUCH for the site and honest reviews. I had read an advertisment for one of the hgh products in Popular Science and started checking out products on the web. That product ranked extremely low, but the Secretagogue One is “the real deal” . . . and without injections!

87 Linda // Mar 17, 2009 at 6:26 am
Thank you for you’re reply.
I’m going to start a three month cycle next Monday.
This stuff is fabulous. I don’t even tell others about it ’cause I want it to be my secret.
I remember brushing my teeth after just two or three weeks after taking Secretagogue One and looking in the mirror noticing the cuts between my shoulder and bicep. I was like “Where did that come from?”. Then I remembered the obvious: It was because of Secretagogue One. I’m even afraid to try S Gold,’cause the original works so well for me.
88 hgh truths // Mar 18, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Linda,
If it works, why mess with it.
89 Philip J. // Mar 19, 2009 at 4:54 pm
I’m almost 26 years old, and am looking to do explosive movement training, as well as resistance and weight training from Mark Verstegen’s, “Core Performance.” Will Secretagogue Gold help me at all, and are there any other things that I should stack it with to increase HGH levels? Also, how about any additional supplements besides protein that will significantly help me out?
90 hgh truths // Mar 19, 2009 at 8:20 pm
Phili J,
The benefit to 26 year olds from hgh supplements in marginal. The best thing to go with the protein is a good green superfood product that is herbg free. Check out a product called Green magic for a great list of ingredients. Probably about the only time we will say much good about a product from a mlm company. There are some distributors who sell it at a discount price without having to deal with the BS.
91 Philip J. // Mar 20, 2009 at 10:04 am
Thanks for the answer, “hgh truths”. Is there an injection form of HGH that isn’t synthetic and potentially dangerous that could benefit me, since it would be a larger boost than the suppliment form?
92 hgh truths // Mar 20, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Phillip,
All hgh injections are synthetic. The level needed for muscle development at 26 is very large and very expensive.
You are going on what looks to be a great training program. Just play it out and see how it goes before worrying about much else.
Most sports supplements just take your money. The real results would have come from the intensive training anyway.
93 Exb // Apr 9, 2009 at 7:27 pm
The topic is quite hot in the net right now. What do you pay the most attention to while choosing what to write ?
94 Kevin // Apr 20, 2009 at 5:38 am
Can a ECA stack still be used before a workout when using this HGH product?
95 hgh truths // Apr 20, 2009 at 6:06 am
Kevin,
Yes
96 Kevin // Apr 20, 2009 at 6:10 am
Thanks, I am 40 years old and have been lifting since i was 17, do you think it would benefit me to take this supplement twice a day? Once in the am before i work out and then again at night, or is that overkill.
97 hgh truths // Apr 20, 2009 at 7:56 am
Kevin,
Always start with just once per day. See what happens for at least a couple weeks to a month. Then try a second dosage if you want. Once again see what happens.
The only way to know if it is over kill is to know what the single dosage does for you. You might find that a second dosage is just a waste. Plus more is not always better.
98 Kevin // Apr 20, 2009 at 8:44 am
Being new to HGH releasers, what are a couple of things i would notice if it is working. By the way, Great site. Seems to be the only unbiased HGH site that I have come across.
99 hgh truths // Apr 20, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Kevin,
Funny, I was going to point you to a benefits of hgh post but realized that we have never posted one. OOOPPS!
Best I can say for now is to scroll through the comments on the Secretagogue One and Secretagogue Gold posts. See what other people have to say.
100 Paul // Apr 23, 2009 at 6:47 am
First, I want to compliment you on your honest and knowledgeable reviews. Second, Im sure this question has already been asked but is it completely necessary to take Secretagogue One or any HGH product on an empty stomach right before bedtime? I find that when I do, I have a very restless sleep. Can it be taken in the morning before eating instead?
Thank You,
Paul
101 hgh truths // Apr 23, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Paul,
Morning works also. It is the second best time.
102 Gino M // May 9, 2009 at 11:18 am
Need ur help, my friend. Have you done a review on one or all of the below listed supplements:
Green Magic
Meal in a Glass
Earth’s Harvest
Packaged by Natural Ways to Health, Edmonds, WA
I’m curious…gym-rat friend of mine concocted a shake using the above…claiming 15-20 gms protein plus other benefits. Takes it first thing in AM..said it does wonders for his energy during the day. In steel construction…”walks the iron”..he needs the energy!! Let me know what you think… Gino
103 Cuda // May 11, 2009 at 1:04 pm
I’ve been told by a Dr. that I have a low testosterone level. Put me on a “test” cream to rub on. I don’t think its right for me and I always thought natural was better. Do you think Secretagogue gold or one would help or possibly correct this.?Dr. couldn’t find a reason for this.
104 Ben // May 11, 2009 at 6:15 pm
hey guys, i’m a 16 year old, soon to be 17 and i’m looking for something that will increase my height seeing that i’m still only 5′ 5″, will increase my muscle mass because i go to the gym around 3 days a week. And i was wondering if this product will increase/ decrease my penis size. And finally will this product cause acne, i’m pretty clean in the face and don’t want any acne to form! please help me out! THANKS!
105 hgh truths // May 12, 2009 at 10:04 am
Gino M,
Green Magic is a fabulous product. Meal in a Glass is a good product but you can save a lot of money by just buying a good protein powder. Earth’s Harvest is a good product but a bit of over kill if you are already taking Green Magic.
These products are made by New Spirit Naturals in San dimas, Ca. Naturals Ways to Health is a distributor.
106 hgh truths // May 12, 2009 at 10:33 am
Cuda,
The testosterone cream is probably a good way to get your levels raised the quickest. The Gold will strengthen your overall hormonal cascade which should include a testosterone increase if that is what your body needs. There are a number of herbs that are supposed to help but official test results are mixed.
107 Pheonix // May 12, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Hey guys! I love all the reviews you post and have been looking into something like this (Secretagogue One) product for my son. He’s really into body building, but I refuse to let him use anything serious such as steroids or anything that contain harmful side effects. I was curious, is this is the right product, or what is? He suggested HGH because as many say, the increase in muscle mass, fat loss, and quicker muscle recovery. He wants to be “big” or “ripped” as he says. But the way he’s 17 years old i’m worried in his growth stunting or as Ben said, ACNE causing. I would appreciate all the help. - Pheonix
108 hgh truths // May 12, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Ben,
These products are worthless for teenagers. they will not increase your height or your muscle mass. The only thing they will change the size of is your bank account.
109 hgh truths // May 12, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Pheonix,
We say all over the place on this site that these products are a total waste of money for teenagers. They won’t do anything for your son.
