The health food supplement market is at an all time high at the moment, and HGH, or Human Growth Hormone, is riding high atop that wave. So you may wonder just what it is, and what has made it such an "in demand" product. The answer is that it claims to slow down the aging process naturally. But are all products equal?

The health food supplement market is at an all time high at the moment, and HGH, or Human Growth Hormone, is riding high atop that wave. So you may wonder just what it is, and what has made it such an "in demand" product. The answer is that it claims to slow down the aging process naturally. But are all products equal?
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.
Once you see these exaggerated claims, you might want to rethink and look for another website or HGH product seller that does not resort to exaggeration to make a quick buck. Here are some exaggerated claims and the truth behind them.
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.
I guess for many, this will pose the question as to whether or not supplements are therefore worth taking. The answer is that emphatically yes they are. This article is intent on helping you to identify those fraudulent claims. The majority of websites you encounter will be honest, genuine people selling honest, genuine product that does work for many. Just try and stay away from the rogues.
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.
