It is illegal to take HGH injections without a prescription from your doctor – and the FDA has done a pretty good job of regulating HGH so it isn’t easily available to people wanting to abuse the laws.  But if HGH is illegal, how can you buy it in supplements?

In the United States, it is legal to make products with certain regulated or illegal drugs so long as the concentration is very low.  Under this law, HGH can be sold in supplements.  Unlike HGH treatment, HGH supplements cannot be injected and must be used orally or nasally.

Most HGH supplements come as sprays to be used in your mouth or nose.  The blood vessels in these areas are very sensitive and quickly absorb the HGH concentration and get it into the bloodstream.  There are also HGH supplements which come as droplets for underneath your tongue.  Each of these methods of taking an HGH supplement is equally effective.  What matters is the quality and concentration of the HGH.

Once you take the HGH supplement, it acts just like your natural growth hormone.  Since the concentration of HGH in supplements is so low, you will not be at risk of side effects associated with too much growth hormone.  However, because the concentration is so low, you also aren’t going to get amazing results with an HGH supplement.  Don’t expect your muscles to start bulking up on their own or your wrinkles to suddenly disappear.  It is going to take time before you really see results.  Despite this, many bodybuilders swear by HGH supplements as do thousands of people battling the signs of aging.

What about HGH Pills?

There are some HGH supplements which come as pills or capsules. You should avoid these HGH supplements completely.  The HGH molecule is too fragile to survive the digestion process and cross into the blood stream.  Note though that most of the HGH pills are really HGH releasers.  These supplements don’t contain any HGH.  Instead, they contain ingredients like amino acids which support natural HGH production in the pituitary gland.

When you take HGH releasers, you also aren’t going to get overnight, drastic results.  It takes time for the ingredients in the HGH releasers to build up in your system and create a nutritional foundation for your pituitary gland.  In the long run, HGH releasers are usually more effective than supplements containing actual HGH.

Frequency Matters!

With any supplement, you will always want to look at the concentration of the ingredients.  However, taking a massive dosage of an HGH supplement isn’t necessarily going to help you.  The key to getting benefits with HGH supplements is taking them in smaller amounts but frequently throughout the day.  This way, your body can process all of the ingredients and put them to use, rather than just expelling the excess.  Expect to take an HGH supplement at least 3 times a day but you’ll get better results by dividing up the dosages into about 6 or 8 daily servings.
