HGH supplements are one of the latest craze today in the field of health and supplementation. With all the talk about HGH supplements, let us discuss the facts and separate them from the fiction that’s been going around about HGH products in the market.

Naturally every one of the hundreds of websites out there selling HGH supplements all claim that their product is the best, and their own particular formulation will give you better results than any other HGH product on the market. Of course they are bound to say that; after all, it’s hardly good advertising practice to say your product is just as good or maybe not as good as the next one. Remember they all want those hard earned dollars you have in your pocket.

So how to sort out the jokers from the good guys; the good product from the bad; those that really do work, from those that really don’t? There are some crooks out there who will sell you a harmless but ineffective placebo because they make more profit that way. But how can you recognize and avoid them? One way of spotting the rogues is by the exaggerated claims that they make about their product. So let’s have a look at a few of these wild claims and see if any of them hold any water.

Claim: That HGH supplements add up to 8.8% of genuine extra muscle tone, and that you will also lose 14.4% of your body fat without having to do and physical exercise or having to go on a calorie controlled diet. Our response: The figures used in this claim are taken from research done by Dr Rudman in 1990. Whilst the figures themselves are true, his methodology was to use injections of HGH. The supplemental product making this claim is in capsule format. Capsules deliver a significantly smaller dose of HGH than do injections, and therefore any comparison is invalid. Capsules can, and do work, but it is over a longer duration, by slow build up.

Claim: Our pill/powder/spray contains the real human growth hormone. Fact: First, know that HGH is a prescription drug. If you put real HGH in significant amounts, it will no longer be considered a supplement, but a drug. A drug can only be sold with prescription, so technically it is illegal to market them without it. Most websites market HGH supplements that either contain homeopathic amounts of HGH – meaning really minute amounts (up to 2 micrograms), or HGH boosters/releasers which contain ingredients that stimulate the natural production of HGH in the brain.

Claim: That the HGH is approved by the FDA. The truth: Incorrect. HGH products are categorized as dietary supplements, and dietary supplements are not regulated by the FDA. This is one of the reasons why there are so very many supplemental products on the market. Statements claiming FDA approval are outright lies.

This may make people question the legitimacy of using supplemental health or food products, but in actual fact it shouldn’t. Supplements are proven to work, and in many instances are doctor approved. Remember that this article is written simply to help you to pick out the rogue traders and to help you find good, genuine product.

The conclusion with regard to HGH supplements is that they can help to slow the aging process and that the majority of product on sale is genuine. You should of course always consult your doctor before embarking on any course of medication or supplemental therapy.
