HGH False Claims and Scams
Claims that alcohol kills HGH and so all products that contain alcohol are useless.
This is not true. High quality homeopathic sprays contain a small amount of organic corn alcohol because it plays a role in the potency and stability of the homeopathic formula, it does not render the formula useless as some competitors claim.
Alcohol is used to hold the frequency of the substance stable according to the HPUS (the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States), which is the official homeopathic manufacturing manual recognized by the FDA.
Alcohol maximizes efficacy, allows for quicker absorption into the body, and helps to minimize the possibility of contamination. Various types of other health products, such as liquid cold preparations, also use alcohol in their formulas.
We are not dumping a vial of HGH injection into a vat of alcohol, as competitors try to make it sound. The total amount of spray one receives each day is only 1 ml (1cc), divided into 3 dose times. Of this 1 ml, only 20% is made up of alcohol, the other 80% is made up of active ingredients and water, so the amount of alcohol received per day is actually only a few drops.
If alcohol was not needed in a homeopathic formula then it would not be used. Why would any pharmaceutical company include an ingredient that would damage the formula? Also, it would be cheaper to not use alcohol and use only water, so the small amount of alcohol is used for a reason.
Claims his product contains "all 191 amino acids".
The human growth hormone molecule itself is made up of 191 amino acids so this claim makes no sense. It may be that the seller wants customers to think that his product contains doses of all the 191 amino acids that make up the HGH molecule, which could not be true. Homeopathic products do use actual human growth hormone in their formulas so it could be said that homeopathic HGH products contain all 191 amino acids!
Claims his product is best because of the way his product is packaged.
Some claim their product is best because of the color of the bottle, the type of spray apparatus they use, etc.
This is a clear example of sellers looking for something to use to help sell their products when they have no IGF-1 clinical studies to show. If a product is shown to increase IGF-1 levels in the blood by clinical studies (IGF-1 blood tests measure the increase of human growth hormone in the body), then the packaging and the manufacturing process of that product must be correct!
Claims that HGH supplements can over stimulate the pituitary gland.
The supplements that are made of stacks of amino acids can over stimulate the pituitary gland and that is why they should be cycled. Homeopathic products will not over stimulate or burn out the pituitary gland. In over 200 years homeopathy has never caused harm.
Claims that if a product contains human growth hormone it will make the pituitary gland become lazy and not function properly.
Only the HGH injections can cause the pituitary gland to become lazy because only the injections deliver a dose of growth hormone that can replace that ordinarily made by the pituitary gland.
Claims his product is the only one that is effective because it contains an ingredient that is suppose to block somatostatin.
Somatostatin is a safety mechanism for the body that prevents the pituitary gland from dumping too much human growth hormone into the bloodstream, and some studies have shown that it can increase with aging.
The process of aging goes far beyond just somatostatin, and so in my opinion, a product that focuses solely on somatostatin cannot be one of the more effective products. The aim of our HGH Plus IGF-1 & IGF-2 product is to help the body to heal itself of the effects of aging related to the human growth hormone process, and this includes what happens with somatostatin.
Claims his product is "endorsed by doctors" or is "endorsed by medical professionals".
I am a registered nurse of over 24 years, and many other medical professionals, including doctors take our products and carry our products in their offices, so we could just as easily make this claim.
Of course some companies pay for doctor and celebrity endorsements, photos, and/or testimonials. We do not pay for endorsements or testimonials. We have many, many pages of testimonials by regular people who were not paid, yet because our products worked for them so well they gave a testimonial anyway.
I have also heard that some doctor's names were being used to sell certain HGH products, yet the doctor had never heard of the product he supposedly endorses. This could be the seller adding the doctor's name to his web site without the doctor's permission, or it could be that the doctor's business manager has sold the use of his name to a company selling a certain product, but the doctor has not been notified of the arrangement.
