HGH over the airwaves

there's certainly a difference in "banned" and illegal. use a banned substance and (if caught) you'll be disqualified from athletic competitions and face suspension. doesn't mean you can't use it and NOT compete ...

Another reason why doping is so prevalent. Think about it, use HGH or some of the other over-the-counter substances to get strong. Race locally (no drug testing) and then get off the juice before your goal race. Pop a trials qualifier or win cash at some regional marathon (likely no testing) and no one knows. I've known several age-group athletes (40+) that use HGH, IGF-1, and DHEA and have seen major performance improvements.

A sad situation but, its relatively inexpensive and easy to get away with.

Yeah ... I dunno; it just seems like it SHOULD be illegal...

It ain't real Human Growth Hormone.

HGH is very, very , very expensive.

?? Can you say more on that, Platt? Is this false adverstising by these radio people? What are they talking about then?

Quick info on rHGH that I know about:

Platt is right that the kind of rHGH that pro athletes use is very expensive and injectable, and that there are many products that claim to be an rHGH equivalent but are really not and probably could be sued for saying so. Then there are many HGH ?precursors? (is the word that I think they use) that are supposed to help you body produce more of its own HGH. I have heard that these may work a little bit (but not probably too much). Those are definitely over the counter.

But recently I DID read about a product that supposed has a special patent that has a very small amount of real rHGH in it. (since it is so small, I guess they have allowed it as a non-prescription product). They claim that this small amount encourage your body to produce its own HGH. The claim is (and they have a few studies to back it up that I read and looked legit) is based on the very old and often disputed concept of Homeopathy which claims: small very diluted amounts of a drug can produce positive results in the body, and no side effects. So this diluted rHGH helps your produce more rHGH, and supposedly have no side effects (no long term studies obviously). BOTTOM LINE: there is at least one real rHGH over the counter formula, which seems to really work. Most others are BS, but some of the precursors might work a little.

That sounds like what it must have been...

Precursor amino acids to HGH are arginine, ornithine and glycine taken 3 hours distance from other amino acids on an empty stomach in significant amounts an hour before sleep, can help the pituitary gland to release hgh.

There are studies to show that it increases lean muscle, helps with fatique, and has some anabolic affect. This is a natural release - I doubt detectable through drug testing.

You won't become FloJo on this method.

it's not detectable and it doesn't need to be because it's perfectly legal. you are just taking amino acids, the building blocks of protein. the HGH is coming from you, the aminos are just a trigger to release it. tryptophan is also a great HGH trigger and is especially good because it helps put you to sleep. but you can't buy isolated tryptophan in the states.

but you can't buy isolated tryptophan in the states

but easy to get over the internet.

From what I read, the actual levels of hgh that the human body makes is pretty steady your whole life. What varies is the absorption. When younger you are absorbing more, and are therefore growing. Some of these products advertise that they will help you absorb more of your own natural hgh. Just more info for the ol' noggin.
