Human Growth Hormone FAQ's

Q: Where does today's human growth hormone come from?

A: It was first used in 1958 to treat children with stunted growth. The source was the brain of cadavers, usually obtained in Africa. In the 80's cadaver growth hormone was removed from the market when it was found to cause Creutzfeld-Jakob disease.

In 1986, through genetic engineering, Eli Lily succeeded in making the first 191 amino acid growth hormone that was 100% identical, physically, biologically, and chemically to that made by the pituitary gland. Since then the only source in the U.S. is recombinant (synthetic).

Our products use this same recombinant HGH, in homeopathic form. All ingredients are purchased from trusted and established licensed drug manufacturers in the United States.

Q: What is IGF-1?

A: Insulin-like Growth Factor-1, also known as somatomedin C, is the main growth factor of HGH and is 10 times more potent. It is IGF-1 that gives us most of the benefits. Once growth hormone is released into the bloodstream it is taken in by the liver and converted into IGF-1 and other growth factors.
