Most people know that as we get older the body stops producing HGH. What are your thoughts on supplements that help promote production of HGH? We're not talking shots or anything crazy. Just vitamins that help promote HGH production.

    Ive never heard of any over the counter pills really work, even the shots can be skeptical.

    Also, I'd get your cals dialed in along with a good training program, then if you are not seeing results your thyroid or test might be worth checking into at a reputable place who can give you a good blood screening.

    Mama always told me if you eat the right foods you don't need any supplements or vitamins.

    My 45 year old cousin recently lost 75lbs. I asked her how, she said HGH. Then she said she eats a VLCD. So, it's not the HGH. :/ I've never heard that HGH does anything just on its own. Still must eat right and exercise!

    Real HGH is the best and most synergistic compound that you can take but is illegal in many countries (without prescription) and is extortionate to buy.

    Over the counter "boosters" or natural supplements will be a waste of money!

    Even if it was legal and cheap, I don't want bigger organs and bones.

    It's pissing in the wind. Get the real stuff or don't bother is my advice.

    I'm still a long ways out from actually getting serious about taking any. I've still got a long way to cut, but I just thought I'd get opinions from my fellow MFP'ers.

    if that's the case man don't even bother with worrying bout HGH, its not worth it... people forget that doping not only increase muscle growth but also increased the growth of internal organs and can also help to entice growth of cancer cells at older ages.... just food for thought.... spend your time training and eating right and avoid the synthetic hormones....

    Rich Piana took HGH for ten years. by his own statements, his head grew larger, his hands grew larger, his feet got bigger and his organs grew and pushed against his stomach. These effects are irreversible.

    Look at bodybuilders before and after the introduction of HGH. Arnold and Serge nubret looked like works of art thanks to their steroid use. Ronnie Coleman and Jay Cutler look like freaks with overgrown extended stomachs and weird proportions. Kai Green looks like a real life Ninja turtle.

    Stay away from these drugs. HGH is regulated by a genetic design that took 4 billion years to develop. I don't think gym room Broscience can do any good in messing with nature's design.

    Not down with supplements and most are unnecessary. I am curious why some of these posts are getting flagged for spam?

    That's actually a great question. I just realized they were flagged. I'm still getting used to MFP and didn't even realize there was a flag button down there.

    Because some noob disagrees with the posts and doesn't know how to properly use the flagging system.

    No suppmement will significantly increase hgh enough to be effective. The only way to effectively supplement hgh is with hgh, which is very expensive and cycles are for months to get the benefits. No over the counter products will ever do what aas and peptides will do most over the counter supplements are gimmicks that greedy supplement companies use to feed on dieters

    The only natural way I know of boosting HGH is through fasting, and it's free.
