In 1985 the FDA has approved growth hormone supplements for certain purposes, although they are often market for other non-approved uses that may or may not be effective depending on who you are talking to about these supplements.
What Does The FDA Say?
I tend to be a rule abider, so I looked into growth hormone supplements to make sure I am being a good boy. I learned that the FDA has a very narrow set of approved uses for HGH supplements. For kids, they are approved to help with conditions related to growth and development. Some of the approved conditions are:
- Helping with short stature related to the lack of endogenous growth hormones.
- Turner’s Syndrome: Help with female development
- Prader-Willi Syndrome: Poor muscle tone, low level of sex hormones, constant feeling of hunger. This condition is extremely rare.
- Chronic kidney deficiency.
- Children born small for their gestational period.
There are also some adult conditions approved for treatment by the FDA:
- Short bowel syndrome
- HGH deficiency due to pituitary tumor
- Muscle wasting disease related to HIV/AIDS
Which Supplements Are Best?
The best growth hormone supplements will have rave reviews about the effectiveness, awesome guarantees, and the best value for your money. I always carefully read the claims made by the manufacturers. If they make promises that seem far-fetched I avoid them like the plague. I read the ingredients list carefully too, and look for any health warnings that I might review with my doctor too as a safety net.
One thing you should always ask yourself and check on product claims is this: Does the product contain HGH, a derivative of HGH, or does it contain ingredients that support the HGH already in your body, such as amino acids that act as protein building blocks. Know what you are buying and check their information. Anyone can make great claims about their products, but can they back it up with facts?
Are There Effective Natural Growth Hormone Supplements I Can Use?
Yes, indeed there are natural growth hormone supplements that enhance what you have in your body. They will support your body’s natural ability to produce the hormones you need to combat the symptoms of aging, increase your energy levels, and improve your sleep quality. Some supplements contain multiple ingredients that include the essential amino acids such as:
- L- arginine
- L- glutamine
- GABA
- glycine
- lysine
- tyrosine
Others supplements that you can find in natural food stores and vitamin shops are helpful in their own right in their natural forms, including:
- Fenugreek: Steam as an herb or drink in a tea.
- L-Arginine: 2 mg doses taken 3 times a day
Not All Supplements Must Be Ingested
You can also get a boost of Melatonin by sleeping with an eye mask to block out light as much as possible. These are only a few of the natural ways you can boost your growth hormones without spending a lot of money.
Carefully research all the available information online and talk with your doctor about your interest in trying growth hormone supplements
