We were trying to find more good hgh supplements to review for you, when we came across this gem. A cream that you spread on your forearms to stimulate growth hormone release. Some things are so ridiculous that a person just can not resist.
We would love to give you the ingredients but none of the websites we read bother to give the ingredients. They just use phrases like an analogue of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GhRH) or various multi-channeled somatotroph-specific and hypothalamotroph-specific poly-peptide combinants. If that doesn’t get you heading for another review the next part should.
The sites that are offering this forearm cream for sale want you to fill out a medical form before the will sell any product to you. If you are approved you can then get a prescription. Prescription? Is this a regulated drug?
Sifting through the BS on one site I found the disclaimer that this product is not regulated by the FDA. Well if it is not regulated by the FDA, why do you need a prescription?
You don’t!
This is part of the marketing ploy. Fill out all kinds of personal medical information, send it to people you don’t even know, and get permission to buy a $175 cream.
That is right, $175. A product that costs $175 better be manufactured by a major pharmaceutical company and come with syringes and needles. At the very least there should be some heavy duty medical research.
One site did offer up a research report though the authorship was not clearly defined. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw them comparing it to 2,3 butyrolactone (Renewtrient).
Renewtrient was a product that attempted to get around the laws that made GHB a schedule 3 drug. 2,3 butyrolactone has been included in the federal law for at least 8 years. The main real world use for 2,3 butyrollactone is as an industrial solvent. It is a phenomenal paint and varnish stripper. Just the thing you want to compare your product to.
I guess these folks think that anyone that will fall for the whole pseudo medical approach and fill out the form is one of P. T. Barnum’s subjects. Easily parted from their $175.
The hgh supplement review rating for Trans D Tropin is an F.

I’ll try to make a point of at least alternating between failures and decent products. It is just difficult because there are so many scam products on the market.

What product do you give your highest recommendation to?
2 hgh truths // Apr 19, 2008 at 8:03 am
I believe that the highest hgh supplement review rating to date went to Secretagogue Gold. However, there are a few other products within stricking distance that are also good gh releasers.

Hi, I’m a girl from Belgium and I have a couple of questions. Does Secretagogue Gold really makes you grow without any unhealty side effects? My boyfriend is 1m67 and 27 years old, is it really possible for him to still grow? And does it make you grow in length only or also in width? Does the body grows equally and proportionally? When the body grows, does the skull also grows? Is there any ingredient in this product that is very unhealthy or that can cause diseases?
I am looking forward to hear from you!
Greetings, Angélique

Angelique,
Sorry but no hgh product including the injectable humaan growth hormone is going to help a 27 year old grow any taller. It might help some with muscle mass.
Nothing in Secretagogue Gold is harmful to most people.

I have been taking a HGH supplement by Newton-Everett called Isotropin HGH-R capsules. This is my first dive into a HGH supplement. After reading the reviews on your website, I feel a bit more informed on this type of supplement. Since you do reviews on HGH supplements, I would be interested if you could take a look at this product and rate it.

Jason,
I will move editing the draft review for this hgh supplement up to the front of the list. The short answer is that it is not much of a product.

Trans-D Tropin is the bomb…nothing compares, not even hGH. I’ve been on it for over 6 years now. It is registered with the FDA…go to fda.gov and do a search under Trans D Tropin. Don’t beleive me… watch the videos where doctors, athletes and everyday people talk about it, including NFL coaches, Perricone, and some US Olympic athletes. Of course, you won’t print this because you are not interested in facts. By the way, all ingredients are listed on each bottle.
8 hgh truths // Aug 18, 2008 at 5:36 pm
If all the ingredients are listed on the bottle why is every site that pushes this ridiculous product afraid to list the exact ingredients or show a copy of the label on their site?
Many thousands of products are registered with the FDA and get ndc numbers. This doesn’t mean that there is any kind of FDA approval involved.
Though the FDA would be interested in one of the ingredients many sites claim is in this product.
There is a claim that there is an analogue of GHRH ( Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone ).
Such an analogue would probably come under FDA scrutiny as an unapproved drug. I am sure that NFL, Olympic and WADA officials would be interested in a list of athletes who claim to be using such a substance.
I will stick to the opinion that it is horrendously over priced crap.

Here are the ingredients of TransDTropin
Ingredients: Trans-D Tropin®
Amino acids including arginine, cystein, cystine, glycine, histidine, leucine, serine, tyrosine, glutamine, threonine, alanine, tryptophan, and valine, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, almond oil, apricot oil, sorbitol, fragrance (almond, chrysanthemum or jasmine), distilled water, in a crème’ base with EVITOâ„¢ (proprietary formula consisting of oleic acid, linoleic acid, gamma linolenic acid, stearic acid, hexadecenoic acid, palmitic acid, icosenoic acid, docosenoic acid, tetracosenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, mryistic acid, lauric acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, a, b, g & d tocopherols, tocotrieols, and naturally occurring antioxidants and bioflavinoids.
Here is the Amino Acid sequence for GHRH

Loos like the trasD GHRH analogue is missing a few peptides like alanine and aspartine!

Don,
Nice to see some ingredients getting out. I’ll have to take another look around and see what I can find and maybe do a review update.
My biggest problem is with the whole concept of smearing a little OTC cream on the skin and getting big time hgh release.
I don’t see anything about GHRH or such a chemical in this list. Interesting thing about a skin cream is that it is not a dietary supplement so you do not have to give any information about the amounts of these ingredients.

I have been using the Trans-D Tropin for a month. This is not long enough to say yea or nay but I have noticed two things. One I do have more energy and two some of the little aches and pains I have in this 52 year old body are going away. I am a runner so I am fit for my age. I lift weights for toning and overall fitness. I am taking the Trans-D to improve my workouts and hopefully improve my race times just a little. It is very expensive and the bottle I bought thinking it was a months supply only lasted 3 weeks. It sounds like you did not try the Trans-D as there is an ingredients list on the bottle. Is the expense the reason you did not try it? I am interested in the Secretagogue Gold you did try because I feel the Trans-D will be to expensive for me. Do you think it may help me with the results I am searching for? I just wish you would have tried the Trans-D before blasting it. I plan to try the Secretagogue Gold. Thanks for the info.

Eric,
Expense has nothing to do with why we did not try this product. We did not try it because the marketing at the time if the review was total sleazy BS. Life is to short to waste time on products marketed that way.
Since then the marketing has gotten slicker but it is still easy to spot the BS being spewed. Plus the price of Trans D Tropin has increased to $195. For that kind of money one could combine Secretagogue Gold with low dose injectable hgh therapy.
Three different people have sent us the ingredients list which matches the one Don posted. There is nothing on that list that would cause hgh release as the result of smearing a few drops on the skin. Is there another ingredient that we are not being told about?
It might be interesting to buy a bottle and send it to an independent lab to get a more accurate reading on the ingredients. We’ll put it on the list of things to do.

By definition, in the US, if this product did what it says it can do, it would be a drug and you would not be able to get it over the counter. It is a scam.
14 hgh truths // Apr 12, 2009 at 11:09 am
Liposuction,
If they were actually doing this with skin care ingredients and vitamins it would not be a drug. However, none of those things absorbe through the skin well enough to get the results they push so it is a scam. They are playing on the publics limited knowledge of bioidentical hormones to push high priced garbage. You use it like bio-identical HRT cream so it must be as good because it is “natural”. BS.

Hi;
I have ordered twice the secretagogue GOLD from USA web site and get canceled twice because the product couldn’t get through French customs (I live in France). Could you help how to get this product shipped to France?
Regards
Robert.
16 hgh truths // May 27, 2009 at 8:54 am
Robert,
France leads the world in up tight rules about dietary supplements. They even make Germany’s rules seem easy going. Your pretty much out of luck unless you can find a supplier in Spain or Ireland.
17 Robert // May 27, 2009 at 9:21 am
What about Belgium then?
18 Robert // May 28, 2009 at 9:59 am
Do you have a website in Spain or Ireland from where I can order?
Thanks.

Robert,
Sorry but I don’t have any of that information.
