OTC Growth Supplements

[bambam55]

I'm just curious to hear what otc growth horomone supplements work? Which ones dont work? Do any of them actually help raise growth horomone levels at all? I've never tried any of them out, but I would be willing to if I heard some good feedback or maybe some science that backed them up somewhat.

I've also saw a lot of stuff about GABA and taking it before bedtime could possibly raise GH levels. Anyone ever try it?

I heard good things about universal's GH max but no personal experience

 

[DriDDeRz]

didnt Arginine help raise GH if taken before bed with something?

 

[Ironslave]

GABA can help with Growth Hormone levels, yep. One study found that 3g of GABA elevated GH levels by about 375% at rest, with elevations being around 200% greater than normal with GABA+exercise. (1)

Arginine can actually cause a supression of GH when taken before exercise when compared with exercise alone (2), but it is effective when taken alone.

I would not fall into the trap of thinking "more is better" and combining the two thinking concentrations with both would be higher than either alone. I'd suggest GABA before bed.

Interesting stuff.... IS have you yourself taken GABA and what dosage would you recommend before bed

Took GABA for 8 weeks and noticed no difference at all except a weird tingling feeling and shortness of breath about 20 minutes after taking it. Wouldn't waste my money on it. Sorry to disappoint mate.

before bedtime, my sleep had never been that good in my whole life.

i got faster gains, got alitle leaner.
gaba works, will try somalyze from species soon.

I've heard good things about it too. it's cheap does the effect compensate the cost?

Now Foods has caps with a daily dose of 1g.

Dymatize has one with a daily dose of 3 g.

What it the dosage?

 

[Jwayo]

yea i read research that only 3g is needed,
overdosing didnt do much more effect at all in research ive read about..

and it said something about it boosts the growth hormone
after training, taking it before training

but even tough id rather choose to dose on bedtime
since i feel such a "calm down" feeling from the gaba.

so.. good stuff for sure

If you are talking only about GH, you have principaly: arginine, glutamine, BCAA. But all the studies shows that there is not a significativ increase in the performance, strength or muscle mass of the athlete.

 

[Jwayo]

if ur saying bcaa doesnt increase performance or muscle mass, i dont care about anything that u just said. thx

 

[Snow White]

You didn't understood what i wanted to say. All 3 supplements are "good", but the performance, strength or muscle mass don't increase because of the increasing GH in this particular case. So the person wich take them for that (increase GH) is just a fool.

yeah..

From what I've read the only thing that GABA is increasing is sleep..

I've never talked about GABA. But I agree with that.

I know.

But this thread i about Gaba, and I did some research.

good sleep is the only thing you can expect from it.

 

[Snow White]

Good sleep = better recovery. But in my point of view it's to expensive for that.

 

[Big VIC]

I know.

good sleep is the only thing you can expect from it.

But when your in rem sleep it cause you to relese more GH and better recover I love gaba mixed with melotine.... worth the cost I say

 

[Jwayo]

seriously, read research or try the products.
i read, i try and i judge by that.
ive realised its pointless to post on many threads on this forum so im off.

stop judging by what these people says, ul miss out on alot
obviously there is to many of the younger people on here.

thx for my time on this forum.

Pramipexole, helps raise GH and also helps cut prolactin
