There are numerous HGH supplements which all claim to give you amazing benefits, like causing your metabolism to skyrocket and making all your signs of aging disappear. Most of us take these claims with a grain of salt but we do expect results! The question is whether HGH supplements really work and, if so, what can you really expect?
The problem with supplements containing real HGH is that they have such small concentrations. Under FDA regulations, HGH can be sold without a prescription but only if it
1) Is non-injectable
2) Contains less than 2,001 Nano grams of HGH
1,000 Nano grams= 1 microgram. On average, a middle aged man produces about 200 micrograms of HGH daily. So, to double your HGH levels and get them near what they were in your 20s (which was about 500 micrograms daily), you would have to take about 100 servings of an HGH supplement daily – and that is assuming you are using the HGH supplement with the maximum concentration!
Since HGH supplements cost about $80 for a month’s supply, you can imagine what it would cost you to go through 100 servings in a day. You would be spending much more than the $1,000 per month which HGH injections usually cost.
But isn’t a small HGH boost better than none at all?
There are many athletes, especially bodybuilders, who swear by HGH supplements. At the low dosage amount, the HGH supplements will not produce any side effects but may still have some benefits. The most commonly reported benefits from taking HGH supplements are improved energy and healing faster after a workout. If you are going to buy an HGH supplement, make sure you are buying the formula which has the highest concentration of HGH legally permissible (2001 Nano grams).
You May Be Better Off with Your Own HGH
If you can afford the HGH supplements with maximum concentrations, then you can probably get benefits. But most people may benefit from maximizing their own HGH instead. There are many different ways that you can increase your HGH levels naturally. Often, even slight efforts can boost HGH levels beyond what you’d get with an expensive HGH supplement.
High-impact exercises, adequate sleep, and a HGH diet consisting of low-glycemic foods are some of the most effective ways of increasing HGH production. If you want an extra boost, you can consider an HGH releaser. Unlike HGH supplements, an HGH releaser does not contain any actual HGH. Instead, they contain ingredients which help your body produce more growth hormone. Many of these ingredients have been clinically proven to positively affect HGH levels. But, like with all supplements, make sure you are getting maximum dosage amounts and high quality ingredients from a brand you can trust.
