HGH Supplements: Separating Facts from Fiction
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.
Surely, every website that sells HGH products claims that their supplement contains the best formulation that will increase the natural HGH levels in your body. This is not to say that these websites are just all about marketing hype, because many HGH products actually do work and really do as they promise. However, this is to say that you should be aware that there are websites that make exaggerated claims as marketing strategy in order to convince you to spend your money on them.
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: That the product uses actual human HGH rather than synthesized. The truth:The fact of the matter is that human HGH is only available on prescription. Any product containing it could therefore no longer be classed as a supplement. It would be classed as a drug which legally is then only available by prescription. Most genuine supplements either contain very small amounts of HGH (typically 2mg maximum), or they use boosters to stimulate the body’s natural HGH manufacturing process.
Claim: Our HGH product is FDA approved. Fact: The FDA does not approve or disapprove dietary supplements. Supplements are marketed freely without the need for an FDA approval. Ever wonder why there are so many supplements out there? So, an FDA approval claim does not make a supplement better off, it does not mean anything in the first place so beware of websites that claim such.
So are there supplements worth taking? Although this article outlines some of the points to be careful about when buying HGH supplements, it does not deny the fact that many HGH products sold by reliable websites are actually effective. It is only a matter of choosing the right website to trust, and staying away from sellers who make false claims just to make a sale.
HGH supplements have been proven to work. The research carried out by Dr Rudman is conclusive, but when you go shopping for product, don’t get drawn in by the fraudulent claims of the con men.
